Power Crises in Pakistan

Pakistan is facing swear power crises, industry to household everyone is facing huge problem! I hope politicians and Generals had managed and used this country properly. Situation is worse in small cities and villages in Pakistan. I live in Heart of Islamabad for the past 13 years power failures due to old and damaged wires are regular here and no one takes notice even after complains ! It seems like power crises are due to corruption and mismanagement....

Pakistan Changing ?

Surprised to sale an image to Government Organization ! It is huge sign of change, mostly government and private organization usually don't bother about purchasing images rather they prefer violating copyrights ruthlessly. I hope they will keep fashion of purchasing images alive so people like me can do better and better job ;-) . Ofcourse this happened because of so many things i have learned in MBA course ! they work magic !!!
