No other female horse could compete with her. People started to say that she was so fast she could even outrun male horses. So the owner decided that for the last race of her career he would let her run in a big race against the boys - a race that has never been won by a female before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other horses could be nervous or restless before a race, not so Zenyatta. She was calm and enjoyed the attention of people. When the horses first came to walk through the people, she actually stopped a bit to pose. Later on (yet still before the race) she did her dance moves. People were so excited to see Zenyatta run against the boys. They came with huge cardboards for Zenyatta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the race started, Zenyatta was already behind. Throughout the race she was at the very end, not just by a little bit but with a huge distance. And then, right before the end, she took off. The jockey wanted to run her through the middle of the horses, but she knew she wouldn't be able to get through, so she ran outside around the other horses, and won!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's pretty amazing. It was her last race and she won against the best of the male race horses. Here's the race:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="295"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ud_XPH6Eix4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;color2=0xe87a9f&amp;hd=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ud_XPH6Eix4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;color2=0xe87a9f&amp;hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9447484-3435293136240394159?l=kunwal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/feeds/3435293136240394159/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9447484&amp;postID=3435293136240394159' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/3435293136240394159'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/3435293136240394159'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/2009/12/zenyattas-last-race.html' title='Zenyatta&apos;s Last Race'/><author><name>Kunwal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17696864015904477321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9447484.post-7122601461274954753</id><published>2009-09-29T04:43:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2009-09-30T04:41:17.683+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='German'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='expression'/><title type='text'>Das Verrueckte Labyrinth</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rotTUsP5b4k/SsF27dyRUQI/AAAAAAAAFrY/-alWbqJhudg/s1600-h/DSC_0196.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rotTUsP5b4k/SsF27dyRUQI/AAAAAAAAFrY/-alWbqJhudg/s320/DSC_0196.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386717393291661570" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I saw my most favorite board game in Toys R Us today, I could not resist buying it. Three years ago this charming game turned 20. I remember I have been playing this game throughout my primary school years.

I like the idea that I can display photos that are backlighted. This gives the photo a more vibrant touch than if it is printed on some material.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I wonder about the sense of the additional features it provides. Apart from showing photos in a slideshow, it can play videos, music and it has a calendar with an alarm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every phone nowadays has these features as well. Different MP3 players come with these features. DVD players have the same capabilities as do laptop and computers.&lt;br /&gt;Basically, I can do everything with every device, yet I can not replace all devices with one. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why would I want to watch a video on a digital photo frame when I have a DVD player and a laptop at home? Why would I use a calendar on my MP3 player if I use it on my phone?&lt;br /&gt;I have certain devices for certain purposes and my habits just do not fit to one all-purpose device. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would prefer to pay less for a device with only the essential features. Even if additional features come at no additional price increase, they still annoy me for some reason. That is one reason why the iPhone never appealed to me from Day 1 although I am a fan of Apple products.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

ایسا موقع کہاں ملتا ہے!!! میں جب وہاں گئی تو کسی فیلڈ آفسر نے مجھے کہا کہ میں انٹرن نہیں، میں سب سے چھوٹی فیلڈ آفسر ہوں :) ۔ میں نے اس ٹریننگ پہ اتنا کچھ یونیڈو اور یو این ڈی پی کے بارے میں سیکھا، پریکٹکل اکسپیریئنس سنا اور مجھے تھوڑا بہت انداذہ ہو گیا کہ یونیڈو اندر سے کیسے کام کرتی ہے۔ میرے خیال سے یہ ایک ہفتہ میری پوری انٹرنشپ کا سب سے قیمتی ہفتہ ہو گا۔&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;اس سے پہلے آئی اے ای اے میں ایران کے سلسلے میں ایک بورڈ میٹنگ ہوئی تھی۔ میں نے کبھی کوئی بڑی کانفرنس نہیں دیکھی تھی اور مجھے دیکھنے کا بڑا شوق تھا اس لئے میں اور نوشین (ایرانی انٹرن سہیلی) بورڈ میٹنگ کی اوپننگ پہ گئے۔ واؤ، بالکل جیسے ٹی وی میں دکھاتے ہیں ویسے ہی تھا۔ میں نے وہاں آئی اے ای اے کے ڈائریکٹر جینرل محمد البرادعی کو بھی دیکھا۔ نا یا، میں وہاں صرف ایک گھنٹا رہ سکی۔&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;آج ایک بہت بڑی ایویکیوئشن ایکسرسائز وی آئی سی میں ہونی تھی جیسے کہ دس سالوں میں نہیں ہوئی۔ آسٹریئن آتھورٹیز نے بھی ساتھ دینا تھا۔ اس علاقے کی سب سڑکیں بند کروانی تھیں۔ اس ہی لئے آج کام پہ جانے کا دل نہیں کر رہا تھا۔&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;خیر، چھٹی تو نہیں کر سکتی تھی۔ مگر جب اعلان کیا گیا کہ آئی اے ای اے کے ڈی جی البرادعی کو نوبل پیس پرائز دیا گیا تو سب کینسل کر دیا گیا۔&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, sometimes it really gets exciting :).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

لئے وقت ہی نہیں ملتا۔ میری انٹرنشپ اچھی جا رہی ہے۔ وی ائی سی میں ڈویلوپنگ کنٹریز کے لوگوں کو بہت چانسز ملتے ہیں۔ اس بات کی مجھے خوشی ہے۔&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;روز انگریزی بولنے کی عادت ہو گئی ہے۔ اب کبھی کبھی "باہر" بھی غلطی سے انگریزی بول جاتی ہوں۔&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;مجھے یہاں سمجھ نہیں آتی ہوتی کہ اگر مجھے کوئی پوچھے کہ میں کہاں کی ہوں تو میں جواب میں کیا کہوں (یعنی لوگ میرے سے سننا کیا چاہتے ہیں)۔&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ایک انٹرن نے پہلے دنوں میں کہا تھا کہ یہاں کام کر کے اسے احساس ہو گیا کہ کالج لائف کتنا اچھا ہے۔ میں نے بھی پہلے یہی سوچا تھا مگر اب مجھے یونیورسٹی بالکل یاد نہیں آرہی۔ ہر کوئی ماسٹرس کا پوچھتے جا رہا ہے، میرے خیال سے مکمل ہی کرنا پڑے گا۔&lt;br /&gt;:S&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;اوہ، اور میری انٹرنشپ کی اکسٹینشن بھی ہو گئی ہے، لیکن کب تک، یہ ابھی نہیں پتا (پاکستان

"تھیوری اینڈ پریکٹس آف گروپ ورک" تھا (ہاؤ &lt;a href="http://kunwal.blogspot.com/2005/06/blog-post_24.html"&gt;آئرانک&lt;/a&gt;، آئی نو)۔ ہمیں مختلف اسائنمینٹس کرنے تھے۔ آخری اسائنمینٹ یہ تھا کہ ہم پندرہ منٹ میں کسی بھی طریقے سے کہیں سے (ٹی یو کی بیلڈنگ کے قریب سے) ایک انڈا لائں۔ شرط صرف یہ تھی کہ وہ انڈا بالکل مفت میں ملنا چاہئے ہمیں۔ ساتھ ہمیں کلاس ٹیوٹر کو ایک کاغذ بھی دینا تھا جس پہ انڈا دینے والے نے کنفرم کیا ہو کہ انڈا واقعی مفت میں دیا گیا تھا۔&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;اس کے بعد ہمیں اس انڈے کو کسی طریقے سے پیک کرنا تھا تاکہ وہ ٹوٹے نہ اگر اونچائی سے گرایا جائے۔ پیک کرنے کے لئے سب کچھ استعمال کیا جا سکتا تھا جو اس وقت وہاں موجود تھا۔ (ہمیں یہ وہاں جا کے پتا چلا نہیں تو گھر سے ہی پراپر سامان لے کر آتے)۔&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;میری ٹیم میں سے مجھے ہمارا انڈا پھینکنے جانا تھا۔ میں نہیں کرنا چاہتی تھی۔ لیکن میں انڈا مانگنے بھی نہیں ساتھ گئی کیونکہ تھوڑی سی لیٹ پہنچی۔ صرف بڑے بڑے قد والے لڑکے انڈے پھینک رہے تھے۔ اور میں چھوٹی سی لڑکی۔ ۔ ۔پھر میں میز پر کھڑی ہوئی۔ ۔ ۔ اور ہمارا انڈا ٹوٹ گیا۔ ۔ ۔&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;خیر، کل دیکھا کہ اس "آیر فال" کی وڈیو بھی بنائی گئی تھی(مگر ہماری سیشن کی نہیں)۔ اب آپ خود ہی دیکھ لیں کہ ٹی یو کی کلاسز کیسی ہوتی ہیں۔&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;a

نے بہت کلاسز کی ہیں۔ سب ٹیم ورک تھیں اور مجھے اتنے مختلف لوگوں کے ساتھ کام کرنا تھا جن کو میں جانتی نہیں تھی۔&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;تقریبا سب کلاسز میں زیادہ تر کام میں نے کیا۔ اس کے لئے مختلف وجہ تھے: کوئی سمیسٹر کے درمیان میں کلاس چھوڑ دیتا تھا، کوئی فل ٹائم جاب شروع کر لیتا تھا، کوئی چھٹیاں منانے کسی اور ملک چلے جاتا تھا اور کئیوں کو کام کرنا ہی نہیں آتا تھا۔ کچھ ایسے لوگ بھی تھے جنہوں نے کام تو کیا مگر اتنے برے طریقے سے کہ مجھے پھر سے سارا کرنا پڑا (آخر کار میری گریڈ پہ اثر پڑنا تھا)۔&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;میرے پاس اتنا وقت تو نہیں تھا کہ میں دوسرے لوگوں کا بھی کام کروں اس لئے میرا کام بھی اس دفعہ اتنا اچھا نہیں رہا اور مجھے درمیانے سے گریڈز ملے۔ اب مجھے پتا نہیں کہ ماسٹرس کے لئے ڈسٹنکشن ممکن ہے یا نہیں (&lt;a

کونٹنیو۔ ۔ ۔)۔&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;جب جون کا مہینہ شروع ہوا تو میرے سے رہا نہیں گیا۔ میں سارا کام اکیلے نہیں کرنا چاہتی تھی۔ میں نے غصے میں آ کے ایک کلاس چھوڑنے کا فیصلہ کیا۔ مگر پھر مجھے میرے ٹیم میمبرس پہ ترس آ گیا اور اب "ہم" (یعنی میں) وہ کلاس جولائی میں مکمل کریں گے (کروں گی)۔&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;کبھی کبھی مجھے لگتا ہے کہ لوگ مجھے انسان نہیں بلکہ مشین سمجھتے ہیں۔ میرے خیال سے میں ایک گدھا ہوں جس پہ ہر کوئی اپنا بوجھ ڈالتا ہے۔ خیر، اب ایسی بھی کوئی بات نہیں ہے۔ سب میرا شکر ادا بھی کرتے ہیں اور مجھے اپنا ہیرو بناتے ہیں (ایک جینڈرلیس لحاظ سے)۔ میں ان کے ان لفظوں کو کاغذ پہ چھاپ کے اپنی دیواروں پہ لگا دوں گی (یہ صرف ایک محاورہ ہے)۔&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

It's in French, though. Due to the upcoming referendum, I'll leave it in French&lt;a href="#fn1"&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;The writer talks about an article in Le Monde, for which the director of the company he works for has been interviewed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Ainsi donc, dans cet article, on apprend que "Notre concept d'avantages acquis, par exemple, est l'inverse de la vie. En Chine, cette idée fait éclater de rire 1,2 milliard de personnes !" L'inverse de la vie ? Je n'ose même pas comprendre ce que cela veut dire. Essayons quand même. La vie, c'est probablement la liberté d'entreprendre et de gagner plein d'argent alors que les "avantages acquis" sont l'immobilisme des petites gens qui préfèrent revendiquer plutôt que travailler. Mais quand même, c'est fort : "l'inverse de la vie", c'est la mort. Le message est : "si on conserve les avantages acquis, on crève". Et attention car cette "vérité" est évidente pour 1,2 milliards de chinois. L'avantage des chinois, c'est qu'ils sont beaucoup et que comme ils n'ont pas le droit de s'exprimer individuellement librement, on peut leur faire dire à peu près n'importe quoi et dire qu'ils pensent tous comme ça. Je pense que je vais aussi utiliser cette technique aussi. Tiens, essayons avec la constitution : "le non à la constitution européenne, est l'inverse de la vie. En Chine, cette idée fait éclater de rire 1,2 milliards de personnes !". Oui, ça marche pas mal ! Voilà le slogan qu'il faut aux partisans du oui. Ah, il est fort mon patron quand même, maintenant, je sais pourquoi je travaille dans cette boîte.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The funny thing is, in the past days everybody has been comparing A. with China&lt;a href="http://kunwal.blogspot.com/2005/05/changes.html"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;.

There's been an amendment to a law that directly affects &lt;i&gt;this&lt;/i&gt; blog of mine. That amendment will come into effect as of July 1st (do amendments come into effect or only laws? I'm a little weak on legal English, but you get the idea...). &lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I do not want to say anything about the amendment (other than: it's a &lt;a href="http://dict.leo.org/?lp=ende&amp;lang=en&amp;searchLoc=0&amp;cmpType=relaxed&amp;relink=on&amp;sectHdr=on&amp;spellToler=std&amp;search=Frechheit"&gt;Frechheit&lt;/a&gt;!). I will have to think of some sort of solution till July 1st. The news of this amendment just came last week. I will not be forced into doing something I don't want to do (this is &lt;i&gt;my personal&lt;/i&gt; blog and I can design it any way &lt;i&gt;I want&lt;/i&gt; and provide any information &lt;i&gt;I want&lt;/i&gt;!) so in the worst case I will have to stop blogging (I guess many private weblog and website owners of this little country that I should not name so often anymore will just stop providing content). &lt;br /&gt;Not many people know about this amendment yet. My only hope is that as more people hear of it they start protesting about it. If not, then let's see what happens when it comes into effect (whether people's conformity to that law can be and will be checked in any way). And I will watch what all the other TU students will do with their blogs. Let's see, maybe it still turns to good account.

It's mid-term: some of my classes finished now, some are starting now and some span over the whole semester. I thought, I'd use this tiny gap to give a sign of life --&gt; I'm alive. :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few random things I have to get out of my head: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ukraine is thinking of building new nuclear power plants??&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;A. needs to work out its history. It's not possible to have two different versions of history taught.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;It's the name Adolf that really scares me and makes me sick.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;48 PhD students from Pakistan came to A. this year (a very high number for a small, unimportant, non-English-speaking country - and that's more than Germany or France, via scholarship that is.)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;A. universities have huge capacity problems and no money. Coming semesters a rush of German students is expected (let's see how the universities will deal with it).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Government is crumbling. I hope it breaks now because I believe my favored parties could come into government. A small country like A. cannot afford a broken government during EU Presidency. And if it survives even that, then I fear I can forget my dream government.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Interesting projects going on throughout this year. Special year.

It made such an impact on its audience that it soon became a standard text in all schools and wiped away the myths that preceded it. It was written in Augustus' reign at the start of the Imperial era and has been called an apologia for Roman domination; it has also been called the greatest work of literature ever written in Europe.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mp3 file for this edition can be downloaded only for one week.

I am, in fact, behaving as if I am having holidays (enjoying), even though I know very well I cannot afford any holidays. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hach, *sigh*...why is Easter so early this year? I had 5 weeks of semester break (way too short) and then I had two weeks of university after which two weeks of Easter started. However, this means, that the next holidays (Whitsun) will start in the middle of May. How can I possibly survive till then? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This semester I'm only doing classes that Baha picked. I hadn't even bothered to look at the names of the classes she chose. We have the weirdest people in our teams (did I already say, I'm so tired of teamworks) this semester. There is this one teamwork where poor me and Baha are stuck with two Turkish guys who can hardly speak German (and thus do not understand assignment specifications properly, deliver poor quality work resulting in more work for me and Baha). Well, I'm not depending on that class anyway, thanks God, but that also means that if I get anything other than an A, that class will be worthless for me (for use in my master's). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have lost interest in my studies for about a year (oh I'm so glad I finally wrote this). The irony is, till next year January I could finish my Master's (if I get into all classes with limited seats) and until now I am quite sure I don't want to continue next semester. It is like giving up in a marathon ten meters before the end - a really stupid thing to do. People tell me it is normal to have such a phase at some point during your studies. But I don't know...with me it happens not &lt;i&gt;during&lt;/i&gt; but at the &lt;i&gt;end&lt;/i&gt; of my studies...ach...let's see (who knows, garmiyoN meiN shayd phir josh aa jaye).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Returning to the beginning of the post, I'm still having holidays until April 3rd. I think I should put an end to it, cut off myself from all things online for a few days (it wouldn't be realistic to indicate a longer time span). &lt;br /&gt;Ah, that post felt good :) (yeah, I know, what an abrupt ending). Now I can go to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;Blabla.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9447484-111170677413524353?l=kunwal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/feeds/111170677413524353/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9447484&amp;postID=111170677413524353' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/111170677413524353'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/111170677413524353'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/2005/03/blabla.html' title='Blabla'/><author><name>Kunwal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17696864015904477321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9447484.post-111161399772682467</id><published>2005-03-23T22:14:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-03-24T10:01:50.740+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Die Macht des Schreibens</title><content type='html'>[Translation: "The power of writing"]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, I never thought this would ever happen again, especially not in these modern times where languages are &lt;i&gt;taken on paper plates instead of China&lt;/i&gt; [1], but I just fell in love with a &lt;a href="http://oe1.orf.at/highlights/33096.html"&gt;German text&lt;/a&gt;. It is only a short anecdote on how an influential radio presenter put off a minister by writing frantically on his notepad while the minister was giving his talk (later, it was found out that the radio presenter had only been writing his own phone number ca. 110 times). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Wer schreibt übt also - durch die Tätigkeit an sich - Macht aus.

Of all languages I've ever learned, this one is the most useful for life (what a daring statement!). Most people say Latin is a dead language and therefore useless because nobody speaks it (except maybe a handful of people in Vatikan and my crazy German teacher no. 1 who happens to be married to a Latin professor). Latin is not just a language, it's a good training for your brain. There are so many rules and exceptions that have to be considered that you can't even start speaking it fluently and correctly (German makes a good job of having a tough grammar, but compared to Latin it's a baby language).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember, sometimes we used little rhymes or poems in order to remember rules and exceptions. One example is this little poem we had to learn in order to know whether the gender of a word from the consonant declination (I think it was the consonant one) was masculinum or not:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Die Männlichen bestimmt man so,&lt;br /&gt;als männlich werte die auf &lt;b&gt;-o&lt;/b&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;dann die mit Wer-fall-Endung &lt;b&gt;-s&lt;/b&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;statt &lt;b&gt;-s&lt;/b&gt; ist &lt;b&gt;-x&lt;/b&gt; nichts Seltenes.&lt;br /&gt;Doch &lt;b&gt;-s&lt;/b&gt; gehört dann nicht hierher,&lt;br /&gt;wird es im Genetiv zu &lt;b&gt;-r&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's try to translate that. Hmm...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;The masculine are found like this,&lt;br /&gt;as male take those with ending &lt;b&gt;-o&lt;/b&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;then those with who-case-ending &lt;b&gt;-s&lt;/b&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;it is not rare to see &lt;b&gt;-x&lt;/b&gt;, not &lt;b&gt;-s&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Yet &lt;b&gt;-s&lt;/b&gt; does not belong hither,&lt;br /&gt;if in Genetiv it turns to &lt;b&gt;-r&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes well, the rhythm and rhyming is all broken now. (Meaning: all words masculine have Nominativ-case-ending -o, -x, -s. But if a word with first case ending -s contains an -r in the second case then it's not masculine - of course, there are more exceptions). Anyway, this only shows how complex the language can be. My Latin teacher sometimes let us decline a noun with an adjective that belong to  two different declinations. She said that it's good for our brain if we do such exercises. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I switched to business college I had to give up Latin (my Latin teacher was quite shocked when she heard I'm leaving for a &lt;i&gt;business&lt;/i&gt; college), but I started French there. Everybody in my class was amazed that I knew so many French words even though I had never learned French before. In reality, I never &lt;i&gt;knew&lt;/i&gt; the vocabulary, I just guessed what the word could be - and guessed right in 80 % of the cases. This is all due to Latin since the Roman and German languages are derived from it. If you know the French (Spanish/Italian) system and you know the Latin word, it's easy to guess the word. Also, if you managed Latin grammar, any other grammar of any language is a piece of cake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here it is compulsory that if you want to study medicine or law, you have to study the Latin language. There has been a discussion whether we should drop that knowledge of Latin. It is still required today. I know people (and I am among these) who find it incredible how you can possibly study in any of these fields without ever having learned Latin. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I may be among the minority but I think Latin should always be taught even if it is extinct. You cannot speak it, but it helps a) with languages in general (be it Arabic, Chinese, Spanish or whatever) and b) with thinking patterns.

This means, all Muslim children that went to school here (and did not officially declare to be exempted from religious instruction) had the same teachers, the same exams and learned the same material. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I would say, every Muslim child knows &lt;a href="http://www.storyofpakistan.com/contribute.asp?artid=C048"&gt;Annemarie Schimmel&lt;/a&gt; as one of her books was course material. I only found out now that she passed away two years ago. In fact, she was the one who first raised my interest in Allama Iqbal. Since I know her, I want to read Payam-i-Mashriq (together with Goethe's West-Östlicher Diwan, of course). She translated it, but I prefer reading works in whichever original language. By chance, I managed to get my German teacher interested in Iqbal, and to our surprise she even tested one of my class mates on him the next day during his oral exam - all due to Schimmel. I have always wondered whether Annemarie Schimmel was a Muslim or not, she was &lt;i&gt;so much&lt;/i&gt; engaged in Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A quote from the above link:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt; Iqbal had always been her favorite poet who had been inspiring her from the outset. When she started to speak on his poetry, she spoke for hours, swaying things all around, making the audience spellbound and while she recited his verses, she would close her eyes in overwhelming delight and rapture, and soared into deep imagination like an intrinsic poet. She translated the poetical works of Iqbal with a spiritual zeal and fervor. Her Botschaft des Ostens, the translation of Allama Iqbal's Payam-i-Mashriq is monumental work in German. Dschavidnma Das Buch and Der Ewigkeit are German translations of ‘Javed Nama’and ‘Bang-i-Dara’, and Gabraeil's Wing: a Study of the Religious Ideas of Sir Mohammad Iqbal is one of the most erudite studies of Iqbal in English in the West. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9447484-110998027979729359?l=kunwal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/feeds/110998027979729359/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9447484&amp;postID=110998027979729359' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/110998027979729359'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/110998027979729359'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/2005/03/annemarie-schimmel.html' title='Annemarie Schimmel'/><author><name>Kunwal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17696864015904477321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9447484.post-110972411869089683</id><published>2005-03-02T01:32:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-03-02T02:00:31.200+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Calligraphy Guidelines on Paper</title><content type='html'>I just came across &lt;a href="http://www.scribblers.co.uk/cgi/gridlines.pl"&gt;this site&lt;/a&gt; that generates lined paper you can print and use for calligraphy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best thing is that you can adjust the distances between the lines. This way you can create calligraphy paper that exactly meets the needs of the script (western or eastern) and the size of the pen you use. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have never used paper with guidelines for Nastaleeq before even though I possess such a writing pad. I always found it not useful for me because I use qalams of different sizes. But now I can generate pages for each size I have. This is so helpful. I have been practising since yesterday again (bought new ink yesterday). This simple lined paper has improved my writing so much (okay, it's still far from perfect, but inshaAllah one day I'll be as good as professionals). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and I found out that my all-favorite site www.kelk.org is down. I hope that's only temporary because I really love that site. It would be a great loss for me if they just stop making that content available online.

all I've got on my mind. :-|&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, our climate is really going downhill. This winter is especially weird. We've had about the warmest winter I can remember. In December, there was even a time you could go out with a T-Shirt (and I felt very odd and stupid with my coat and hat and gloves and shawl but I wasn't prepared for such light weather). Nowadays, it's like sunshine one day and blizzard the next day.  Yesterday, I read Greenland is having warmer temperatures than we have here. On the other hand, I'm hearing of warm places being exceptionally cold this year. &lt;br /&gt;We have about nine months of winter here. I'm sure that's the reason why everyone is so grumpy here or why we have such a high suicide rate. Every few weeks a train gets late because a passenger got sick. Recently, I learned that "sick" means someone actually jumped in front of the train. Have you realized that the suicide rate is often higher in cold countries than in warmer countries? I think, the sun just makes you feel happy. Oh, I miss summer.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9447484-110916487909618363?l=kunwal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/feeds/110916487909618363/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9447484&amp;postID=110916487909618363' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/110916487909618363'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/110916487909618363'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/2005/02/weather.html' title='Weather'/><author><name>Kunwal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17696864015904477321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9447484.post-110890691739964063</id><published>2005-02-20T14:11:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-02-20T14:41:57.400+01:00</updated><title type='text'>انتظار</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Tahoma,'Urdu Naskh Asiatype',Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;بس دو ﮨﻔﺘﮯ ره ﮔﮱ :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9447484-110890691739964063?l=kunwal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/feeds/110890691739964063/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9447484&amp;postID=110890691739964063' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/110890691739964063'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/110890691739964063'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/2005/02/blog-post_20.html' title='انتظار'/><author><name>Kunwal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17696864015904477321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9447484.post-110875872582257839</id><published>2005-02-18T21:23:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-02-18T21:35:28.230+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Closer to 42</title><content type='html'>On what planet have I been living?

To be precise, Nafees Nastaleeq can't be displayed properly. Other ones (even from crulp) are okay. Yeh to hona hi tha since Nafees Nastaleeq is the font I care about most. I have decided now, I will only use Tahoma, Helvetica...and Nastaleeq sparely as well - at least, others can see it (need to update layout at some time).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I can't find any Urdu keyboard mapping for Debian so all I've got is Irani keyboard + char. map. I'm too stubborn to use that, and I'm too stubborn to switch to Windows every time I want to write Urdu. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The conclusion: when my urge to type in Urdu exceeds my stubbornness, I'll switch to windows. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9447484-110774849538785213?l=kunwal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/feeds/110774849538785213/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9447484&amp;postID=110774849538785213' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/110774849538785213'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/110774849538785213'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/2005/02/fonts-again.html' title='Fonts Again'/><author><name>Kunwal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17696864015904477321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9447484.post-110754955161316587</id><published>2005-02-04T21:38:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2005-02-04T21:53:21.333+01:00</updated><title type='text'>phaloN ka baadshah</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;The true Southern watermelon is a boon apart, and not to be mentioned with commoner things.

If they were just like us, then they had to work very hard to do what they did. And that's one reason we like to believe in genius. It gives us an excuse for being lazy. If these guys were able to do what they did only because of some magic Shakespeareness or Einsteinness, then it's not our fault if we can't do something as good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not saying there's no such thing as genius.

I could tell myself the things that I wished other people would say to me. I felt like I am talking for the first time to ME. Oh, well, I can't wait to receive my letter. Even though, I know what I wrote, I am quite excited because my messages and advices and reminders are such that I can look forward to read in half a year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This made my day :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yes, another thing that surprised me (afterwards) is that I didn't write the letter in German.

The aim is to increase the female quota in IT studies at the TU. Currently, there are under 20 % of female students pursuing IT studies. From my own experience (of attending classes) I would estimate this figure way lower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That organization (FIT - Frauen in die Technik) planned some special programme for girls in their last year of school. For this they needed some female students to help them out with various activities (like registering the school girls, etc.). Since I love helping others, I volunteered for this (okay, I'm also getting paid *blush*, but I would have done it anyway).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I was really looking forward to that tomorrow. The programme was to accompany the girls to some company like Siemens, IBM, etc. to show them how real-life jobs look like in the IT sector and afterwards I was to be a Co-Trainer at a workshop. The company that I was to go to is &lt;a href="http://www.csc.com/"&gt;CSC&lt;/a&gt; Austria. That company is situated on some floor in the Millenium Tower, which used to be Vienna's first sky scraper. Incredible, but I've never been up there so naturally I was already excited to see that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few hours ago, I got a call from the organizing lady. She tells me that CSC never knew we were coming and cancelled that tour. My face fell. Talk about great organization (and it had to happen with the company &lt;i&gt;I&lt;/i&gt; was to go to - it figures). Well, I still have to go there and it is my duty to tell the remaining girls (that could not be informed today) why we cannot see the company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do hope we (the co-trainers) are at least invited to the buffet that takes place at the end of the day. Let's see what tomorrow brings.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9447484-110729914677324726?l=kunwal.blogspot.com'

I think they are really nice and one of my favorite writer is Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. I like Goethe as much as I like Allama Iqbal. I think both of them have left us with an awesome collection of written mastersworks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, that post talked about the &lt;i&gt;Lorelay-theme&lt;/i&gt; which reminded me of &lt;a href="http://www.theotherpages.org/poems/2000/g/goethe01.html"&gt;The Fisher&lt;/a&gt; by Goethe. I don't want to post the whole ballad because it's already presented very nicely on that site (even in English translation :)). Many years ago in class we learned that ballads have key verses which capture the whole ballad. So in this ballad the key verses are the last two:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Half drew she him, half sank he in,--&lt;br /&gt;    he sank to rise no more.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

So I had to go through repartitioning, switched my Linux distro to Ubuntu (which should support a lot of languages). And I can't get Urdu to be properly displayed! (But I like Debian's package management system). I'm installing and installing and installing all sorts of software (as if I can afford that time). Plus, all that end-of-term stress is approaching and I'm suffering from severe information overload (blogs and emails mainly). So now I've decided I'll take a short &lt;i&gt;Internet-sabbatical&lt;/i&gt; (yeah, I guess 'short' and 'sabbatical' contradict each other...).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9447484-110433558365559718?l=kunwal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/feeds/110433558365559718/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9447484&amp;postID=110433558365559718' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/110433558365559718'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/110433558365559718'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/2004/12/travails.html' title='Travails'/><author><name>Kunwal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17696864015904477321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9447484.post-110399231610877696</id><published>2004-12-25T17:13:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-25T17:31:56.106+01:00</updated><title type='text'>یوں ہی</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 30pt;font-family:'Nafees Nastaleeq','Urdu Naskh Asiatype',Arial,Tahoma,'Trebuchet MS',Trebuchet,Verdana,Sans-serif;font-size:130%;"  &gt;یوں ہی ذرہ خاموش  رہنے لگے ہیں ہم&lt;br /&gt;لوگوں نے کیسے کیسے فسانے بنا لۓ&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yuN hi zarah khamosh rehne lage haiN hum&lt;br /&gt;logoN ne kaise kaise fasane bana liye&lt;br /&gt;- source unknown&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9447484-110399231610877696?l=kunwal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/feeds/110399231610877696/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9447484&amp;postID=110399231610877696' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/110399231610877696'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/110399231610877696'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/2004/12/blog-post_25.html' title='یوں ہی'/><author><name>Kunwal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17696864015904477321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9447484.post-110375691709249721</id><published>2004-12-22T23:55:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-23T00:08:37.093+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Boring Research</title><content type='html'>I'm supposed to stay away from blogs these days and work on my thesis. Somehow that seemed so difficult for me because my topic does not capture all of my interest. Anyway, I thought, today I'll just start reading all my material (I've got loads of it). I was expecting to read boring stuff about privatization, and this is how the first chapter of the book started:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;There is a story about the U.S. Navy that, I think, captures the way many governments feel about confronting market forces. A Navy fleet is sailing in the Pacific when a blip appears on the fleet's radar screen. The destroyer's captain sends the message: "We are on a collision course, change your course." The reply comes back: "Change your course." Irritated, the captain sends another message: "This is the U.S. Navy's fleet. We are on a collision course. Change your course." Again the reply: "Change your course." Finally, the admiral of the U.S. fleet, thoroughly annoyed, sends the message: "This is the most powerful sailing force ever assembled. We are on a collision course. Change your course." Comes the reply: "Change your course. This is a lighthouse."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, if all my material goes on like this, it might actually be fun ;) (not that I'm expecting this).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Source:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Changing Course Toward Privatization &lt;br /&gt;Lawrence H.

تقریبا ایک سال سے میں نے خود سے نستعلیق سیکھنا شروع کیا ہے۔ میری ایک ایرانی سہیلی کی ماں میرے لۓ خطاطی کی کتاب اور دو تین قسموں کے قلم ایران سے لے کے آئیں تھی جو میں بائیں ہاتھ کے ساتھ استعمال کر سکوں۔ کتاب تو فارسی میں لکھی ہے لیکن سیکھنے کے لۓ کوئی فرق نہیں پڑتا۔ خطاطی کے بارے ایک زبردست وب سائٹ &lt;a href="http://www.kelk.org/"&gt;کلک&lt;/a&gt; ہے جہاں نستعلیق کے اصول سمجھاۓ جاتے ہیں۔ میرے لۓ یہ سب پھر بھی کافی نہیں ہے۔ میں نے یہاں ہر یونیورسٹی سے پتا کروایا کے کہیں نستعلیق سکھائی جاتی ہے لیکن مجھے صرف چائنیز خطاطی کلاسز ملے۔ خیر آج کل ویسے بھی (پڑھائی کی وجہ سے) زیادہ وقت خطاطی کے لۓ نکال نہیں سکتی۔ مہارت حاصل کرنے کے لۓ ابھی چند سال محنت کرنی پڑے گی۔ لیکن انشاءاللہ وہ دن آۓ گا جب میں میرے پسندیدہ شعر خوبصورت نستعلیق میں لکھ سکوں گی۔&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br

type='text'>Graduation Ceremony</title><content type='html'>Today I attended a graduation ceremony, because some of my colleagues had completed their Bachelor's degree. The surprising thing was that I also saw the person who held the ASP.NET Workshop &lt;a href="http://kunwal.blogspot.com/2004/12/microsoft-austria.html"&gt;that I attended&lt;/a&gt; at Microsoft Austria some time ago. I was so amazed.

It's so good I thought I'd also write it here. The essay is on the German language, as experienced by Mark Twain. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;A person who has not studied German can form no idea of what a perplexing language it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Surely there is not another language that is so slipshod and systemless, and so slippery and elusive to the grasp.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's really hilarious. Everyone who speaks German or is learning German should read it. For people who want to start learning German, it's probably not wise to read it, or they might get scared away from this language. ;)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9447484-110303100184147172?l=kunwal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/feeds/110303100184147172/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9447484&amp;postID=110303100184147172' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/110303100184147172'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/110303100184147172'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/2004/12/awful-german-language.html' title='The Awful German Language'/><author><name>Kunwal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17696864015904477321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9447484.post-110303018852723283</id><published>2004-12-14T14:12:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-14T14:17:50.403+01:00</updated><title type='text'>یا خدا</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 30pt;font-family:'Nafees Nastaleeq','Urdu Naskh Asiatype',Arial,Tahoma,'Trebuchet MS',Trebuchet,Verdana,Sans-serif;font-size:130%;"  &gt;یا خدا،  لوگ بناۓ تھے اگر پتھر کے&lt;br /&gt;میرے احساس کو شیشہ نہ بنایا ہوتا&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9447484-110303018852723283?l=kunwal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/feeds/110303018852723283/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9447484&amp;postID=110303018852723283' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/110303018852723283'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/110303018852723283'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/2004/12/blog-post_14.html' title='یا خدا'/><author><name>Kunwal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17696864015904477321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9447484.post-110297424153592556</id><published>2004-12-13T22:32:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2004-12-13T22:46:15.110+01:00</updated><title type='text'>منفعت ایک ہے</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 30pt;font-family:'Nafees Nastaleeq','Urdu Naskh Asiatype',Arial,Tahoma,'Trebuchet MS',Trebuchet,Verdana,Sans-serif;font-size:130%;"  &gt;منفعت ایک ہے اس قوم کی نقصان بھی ایک&lt;br /&gt;

Currently I am using 2 fonts for the Urdu posts. I think Urdu shairy has to be in Nastaleeq font. Anything other than that would not look beautiful. And because I love shairy, I want to give it the best presentation possible. However, I think it is hard to read on the web. So for larger texts I use the Urdu Naskh font. Links to both fonts are provided. But I might change these settings again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And because it looks different in all browsers (how sweet), I recommend:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&amp;id=0&amp;amp;t=64"&gt;&lt;img alt="Get Firefox!" title="Get Firefox!" src="http://sfx-images.mozilla.org/affiliates/Buttons/110x32/get.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; because it's &lt;a href="http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&amp;amp;amp;id=0&amp;t=65"&gt;&lt;img alt="Get Firefox!" title="Get Firefox!" src="http://sfx-images.mozilla.org/affiliates/Buttons/110x32/safer.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and it's &lt;a href="http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&amp;amp;amp;amp;id=0&amp;t=61"&gt;&lt;img alt="Get Firefox!" title="Get Firefox!" src="http://sfx-images.mozilla.org/affiliates/Buttons/110x32/trust.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&amp;amp;id=0&amp;amp;t=86"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="Get Firefox!" title="Get Firefox!" src=" http://sfx-images.mozilla.org/affiliates/Buttons/125x50/takebacktheweb_125x50.png"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9447484-110289490995387159?l=kunwal.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/feeds/110289490995387159/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9447484&amp;postID=110289490995387159' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/110289490995387159'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9447484/posts/default/110289490995387159'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kunwal.blogspot.com/2004/12/note-on-fonts-used.html' title='A Note on the Fonts Used'/><author><name>Kunwal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17696864015904477321</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
