Subject: Orkut: A social network or illicit network?

Most of the people who use internet are well aware of “Orkut” a social networking website. But besides social networking this website is being used for immoral activities, which is a great threat to the future of our young generation. I have been using Orkut for last 4 years and spent a lot of time on this website. Amongst variety of people, I came across, some are really good and helpful and using this social network in positive manner and to help each other. But some of them in fact most of them are using this portal in a wrong way.

Today these bad activities that I have been witnessing for a long time made me to write this article. May be I’ll be able to draw net user’s attention towards this and may I could save someone’s life. But let me share my experience and research on Orkut with you.

In past four years I have gone through many experiences on Orkut. Initially I didn’t have much knowledge about this site. Somehow I got an invitation through an email sent to me by a friend of mine and I created a profile. I knew a few friends of mine who already had profiles there, so I added them and then I came to know that one can view others profile and add them as friends.

Soon I started visiting different communities and profiles. I made some good friends on this who are still my friends and really helped me many ways. But at the same time I had some very interesting friends in my list and of course those included female friends too.

Things got more interesting when I started browsing communicating and came to know that Orkut is used for different immoral and un-ethical activities. Especially, girls spread their cell numbers on their profiles or through emails. Then they ask for cards from boys and make fun with them on phone.

Interesting part is that some of those boys can’t talk with them even after giving cards. I asked one girl how much cards she gets in a day and I was surprised when she told me that she gets the cards worth of almost Rs. 2,000 in a day. Just imagine if a girl is getting Rs. 2,000 balance in a single day for only 2-3 hours, how much she is getting per month? (terrible).

That is one scenario of looting people the other way is girls make friendship with boys and then after some days ask for some money like Rs. 2,000 to 5,000. Some people don’t think and give money to them. They even don’t show their selves. They do it in a very organized manner; even I tried to catch them with the help of my friend but could not do so.

That was one aspect of Orkut. Let me tell you another way. That is more horrible and dangerous for our innocent and young generation. There are certain communities those are totally immoral and leading our youngster to the ignorance and they are going far away from religion. In these communities they discuss freely about sexual relationships and even develop immoral relationships with each other even with the same gender which is very disgusting. These Orkut users have complete clubs and organizations (virtual). The worst part of this is, that sometimes these boys trap the girls and make physical relations, take pictures or make videos. Then blackmail those and use them for their needs.

This is not the end yet. Orkut is a huge source of pornography and vulgarity. Here people upload the vulgar pictures and videos to attract the young ones. There is no restriction for such kind of pictures and videos.

This site also has no picture protection and some criminal minded member grab pictures of others and create fake profiles which is another threatening and alarming thing for all of us.

When I see all this on Orkut and a thought comes in my mind that where are we going? What nation we are representing? Is this the image we should have? I don’t find any answer for all these questions but I want to advise all of you that please, do something to protect our future, our children, our sisters and daughters. We still have the time to save our youngsters, but soon it will be very difficult for us to control all this. Please be the first ones to spread awareness of these threats. Share your ideas and thoughts to stop this.

Salam fellows!

I’ve been asked by Sir Adnan to present on Oscommerce.  Oscommerce is a online store management software with shopping cart technology and other technologies. It is the most popular open source store management software.

Unusually… this time I gave a lot of time to the design of the presentation slides which I think resulted in my personal satisfaction only.  I’ve learned that only design of the slides are not important. There are other factors too such as calmness,style etc which also need more efforts.

You can download my presentation slides from the link below:

I’m sharing with you a very popular poem which was emailed to me today by a very good friend of mine. This poem really helped me out when I very depressed about life (Ya its true!! I too get depressed sometimes ).  If you can’t understand the difficult words then simply click on them for definitions.

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace
there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender be
on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others,
even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real

Tenure guarantees academic freedom as well as job security. Tenure is offered to the best and brightest of the professors who show the most promise in increasing the university’s reputation through their research, books and unique ideas. Tenure protects teachers and researchers when they dissent from prevailing opinion, openly disagree with authorities of any sort, or spend time on unfashionable topics. Khwaja’s areas of interest include economic development, education, political economy, and contract theory/mechanism design. His research combines extensive fieldwork, rigorous empirical analysis, and microeconomic theory to answer questions that are motivated by and engage with policy. It has been published in the leading economics journals, such as the American Economic Review, and the Quarterly Journal of Economics, and has received coverage in numerous media outlets such as the Economist, NY Times, Washington Post, BBC, and CNN. His recent work ranges from understanding market failures in emerging financial markets to examining the private education market in low-income countries. He was selected as a Carnegie Scholar in 2009, for his compelling ideas and commitment to enriching the quality of the public dialogue on Islam. Khwaja was cited for his research on how the pilgrimage to Mecca affects individual pilgrims’ economic, social, ethical, and cultural outlooks. “I hope that my research on the impact of the Haj pilgrimage on the pilgrim will inform the wider academic debate on the nature and interaction of religious and non-religious beliefs in Islam,” said Asim.

He received high school degree in Pakistan and then received his BS in economics and in mathematics with computer science from MIT and a PhD in economics from Harvard. Asim’s parents, Ijaz and Zahida Khwaja, were proud of their son. “What can we say? Today he is every Pakistani parent’s son,” said Dr Khwaja. Harvard’s tenure process is known to be very confidential and strict. Individuals do not apply for tenure but are recommended and then go through a series of vetting processes which include soliciting recommendation letters regarding the candidate from top faculty. The process culminates in a final ad hoc meeting where the president has veto power. Harvard’s tenure rates are fairly low, and, therefore, it is not common for an assistant professor to ever get tenure from Harvard. He started his academic career from Harvard and was an assistant professor before he got promoted as an associate professor and finally full professor. He also has offers of tenure from Dartmouth, Vanderbilt and Berkeley. When asked how he was feeling he responded, “I hope this will open more doors for future Pakistanis to pursue academia and reach our potential.”

As most of you guys know that now a days the Internet fascility here in BZU sucks…. A simple Google page takes about a minute to open (Sometimes even more). Its may be because of the Panda Gate Defender installed on the server. Our IT Center is so dumb that after days of complaining, they couldn’t bring any solution to this problem.  But not to worry now cuz your fellow Ahmad is introducing you to this new piece of code….. FreeGate.  This software will not only allow you to unblock prohibited sites but will also increase your overall downloading bandwidth. I’ve checked the software myself and its 100% working…..

Follow the following easy steps and you’re ready to go:

• Download FreeGate Software by clicking here.
• When download is complete, open the FreeGate Program (Its a single and small .exe file)
• When the program is opened, Click on ‘Proxy Settings‘.

• A new small window will be opened, Check the check-box ‘Manually Set Proxy + Freegate’
• In the ‘Proxy‘ text-box, write ‘172.16.0.9‘. (This is actually the IP Address of the proxy server installed in BZU)
• In the same way, write ‘8080‘ in the second text-box.
• Finally press OK.

• Finally wait for servers list to appear as shown in the following image:

• The proxy settings of Internet Explorer will be changed automatically but if you’re using any other browser then simply change the settings as below:

Proxy Address: 127.0.0.1

Port: 8580

Enjoy Browsing!!!!
