At the funeral today, the sheikh who was giving sermon talked about not to step on graves.

Contrary to what most of us believe that stepping on a grave is a disrespect of the grave. But he told us it is the disrespect for the human being who is inside the grave.

He said Quran…

One of my work colleagues died last week and today was his funeral.
A very large Christian cemetery gave some lands to build a Muslim cemetery next to the old cemetery.
Very simple and organized place.

Just got a Eid message from a number that belongs to a friend who died few years ago.
It was his son who is using his dad’s number to send Eid messages to his friends. ❤️
We worked together in London and then one day he decided to move back to Pakistan and got involved in…

During my daily commute to work, I tend to listen (while driving) some YouTube videos on various topics.
Since last week, during every YouTube video, property and affiliate marketing ads are coming up so annoyingly and so frequently that you keep loosing the focus of the actual…

My 15 years old son went for a day’s work with a friend who provides DIY services.
After spending almost 8 hours and earning £45, he was quite excited and told me how they strip the floor boards and did some paint work.

See you later.

In the last 5-6 years, most of the HEC grants to academia were given in the premise that they would have a commercial partner that will not only contribute towards the R&D costs but will also be the primary driver of commercialization.
However, in most cases, the commercial…

A newer (electrical) version of standup wheelchair was launched 2 weeks ago in India.
It is the product of IIT Madras and the chair is called NeoStand.

If it was me, I would put a team of researchers in NUST or UET to build the same.

According to some estimates, over 6% of Pakistani population has some sort of disability. It ranges from cognitive to development to physical.
A very interesting article on PWD (people with disabilities) and how lack of inclusion in most organizations ranging from…

Brain-computer interface technology will help millions who had strokes or paralysis and are unable to speak.
Although not sure the cost side of this tech in early stage or even when it becomes mature.

Few years ago, few companies designed a wheelchair that could also be changed to standing position.
Standing position is compulsory for people who are unable to stand to ensure the blood supply to their legs.
An Indian company has also designed the same chair and it seems it will…

Never understood why the religious scholars have to enter into the field of science with their argument.
Christians used the similar debates against scientists in olden days and we are just following their footsteps.
May Allah have mercy on us.
