Yeah as always I am one complete day late to know about the new release of wordpress. Its really cool. I just downloaded and installed it. As its famous for its 5 minutes install; it has great new features and a neat and clean interface, I think a hundred times better than the previous version thats 2.3 if I am not wrong (2.3.3), yeah I just checked as I am writing this post on the old platform and I just needed to scroll down this post window (my wordpress blog is an auto install by Fantastico provided by my host in Cpanel)

Anyhow right now I am playing with the latest version (2.5) and its simply awesome.

See the difference. Its just obvious. Its on full page for this blog post. Read the rest of this entry »

This guy must present his idea to Mr Suzuki. I hope he would love to invest. But yeah he would be so dismayed if he watches the Black Buffaloes flying around. This makes me remember of a Joke that Mohammad Khan usually tells me. Once a guy was eating the cone ice cream and he felt something about the change in taste of the ice cream and yeah he later on discovered it was due to a crow flying around. Rather than getting upset, he just quoted with contentment and a great sense of optimism, “Thanks God, buffaloes don’t fly”. lol

This picture reminds of the Maker of Suzuki Pickups who once visited Pakistan and checked some black creature (yeah buffaloes) traveling (being moved in fact) on a Suzuki. He was shocked as he had developed this model for just delivering groceries and little packages to homes across the streets.

At that time Suzuki (Pickup showed here) was priced just 25 thousand Rupees (PKR) and its price went high to 75 thousand Rs right away when he returned back to Japan. I am sure you know why!
