This is the question that not many of us ask ourselves but lets face some facts here, most of our garage floors are grimy at their best. They probably have a lot of oil and greasy stains on the floor on top of which the dirt as well. They would probably give the word 'grimy' a run for its money. There are many ways that we can keep our garage flooring a whole lot cleaner, one by having it tiled up so that it makes cleaning them a whole lot easier.
Can you imagine having to remove all the oil and grease stains off a concrete floor, then can you imagine how much easier it would be to do the same for a tiled floor? Or you can go in for a simpler version with just having to lay on the floor tile. But there is always the professional grade epoxy which would just outshine your old concrete garage floor! Not only are the designs in the tiled floor great, but they are just great and easy to maintain!

Deposed chief justice on the warpath!
The deposed chief justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, has started blowing the bugle for a showdown of sorts with the current dictatorship of president Musharraf. Although the ex-chief justice of Pakistan is still under house arrest he has made an announcement of sorts calling on all the lawyers to join hands together and to go to all corners of Pakistan and to pass on the message that is it the time for sacrifice for the good of Pakistan.
As things are going from bad to worse, the militants have started capturing the border towns of Pakistan and they are slowly but surely increasing their stranglehold on the nation that is surely on the threshold of Anarchy and Chaos!

The President cracks the whip and Pakistan jumps the hoop!
The man behind the current turmoil in Pakistan is none other than the General A.K.A president Musharraf. He has not only promulgated an ordinance suspending the very constitution of Pakistan but he has also effectively gagged the rights of every single Individual there. The fourth estate is gagged and can only report according to Musharraf's views. In short, what he says goes, and if you are found to be breaking the law by just being yourself, even god cannot help you at the moment. Most of the top opposition leaders have all been arrested and placed under house arrest, thereby curtailing all of their movements ion and around Pakistan.
The Human rights commission of Pakistan stands suspended and most of its top members placed under arrest. The explanation that Musharraf gave the nation yesterday is really laughable. If he was so into protecting the stability of Pakistan, then why did he wait until now to do what he has done? The only logical explanation being that Musharraf wanted to hold on to the reins of power by any means possible.
It is at times like these that all political parties from the length and breadth of Pakistan unite together and fight literally for their freedom. After all, their ancestors did fight the British occupation of India[then both Indian and Pakistan], so if they could do it, there is no reason why the current politicians cannot fight Musharraf.
It is disgusting to see the way the the United states is pandering to the whims of their darling child, Musharraf, all because they consider him to be an important allay in their fight against terror. But I do not think that I have to remind anyone that this 'fight against terror' is all America's fight and there is no reason why democracy in Pakistan should be sacrificed just because Musharraf is helping the Americans out some of the time. Should not the ultimate goal be democracy and not just this 'war on terror' which by the way is not even our war to start with. Will democracy rise in Pakistan ever again?

A brief travelogue!

Have you ever travelled to the famous and the historical city of Edinburgh. Edinburgh is just not about history although it factors in a huge way in almost everything that is connected to this historical city. Edinburgh is also quite well known for its crafts especially the weaving of Tartan skirts. Here at Edinburgh, one can also visit some of the famous distilleries and actually learn how some of the famous scotch whisky is made. The link above should give you the right perspective on Edinburgh.
When you leave Edinburgh and think of the city of Manchester, what are your very first thoughts? Soccer, right? Who does not love a good game of tumble sports, that is what I call it. But Manchester is also quite well known for its art works and its museums, like the recently renovated Manchester art gallery. It is indeed a sight for sore eyes. There are numerous other sights to take in while one is in Manchester like the Wythenshawe Hall, which by the way is the oldest building in Manchester, standing since the Tudor times.
When one travels, one of the primary concerns is accommodation, often when one travels to other cities like say Edinburgh, one may often be put to hardship either because one did not get the booking, or accommodation was too costly or because of the language barrier. Either way, with this site and their great hotels in Edinburgh accommodation that is no longer a worry. So with this site and the links above your accommodation needs as far as Edinburgh goes are all well taken care of. That is not all, this site also provides some really fantastic deals on accommodation on certain cities like the city of Manchester. Have fun exploring both of these cities!

Musharraf pips the Supreme court and declares Emergency!

Musharraf has gone the way that previous army generals have gone before him, that is the way of the Emergency and the imposition of the Martial law. It is sad to see democracy being given such short shrift in Pakistan and although this news is shocking in its very nature, it certainly comes as no surprise to any of us in the sense that we all expected this rouge general to do this quite a while back.
All the fundamental rights of all Pakistani citizens are hereby suspended, what is more the very constitution of Pakistan is hereby suspended by a new Provisional Constitutional Order, one which cannot be legally challenged in a court of law.
What started off Musharraf on this road to the emergency was the removal of the Supreme court chief justice Iftekhar Chaudhry and this started off Musharraf on a collision course with the judiciary. Soon the rest of Pakistan joined in to protest the rule of the general Musharraf. Under enormous pressure, Musharraf had reinstated Iftekhar Chaudhry as the chief justice of Pakistan but it seems that the plans to remove him were already in motion. The Supreme court of Pakistan was to announce its verdict on the 14th of November regarding the validity of the recently held presidential elections which Musharraf won by a huge margin. Had Musharraf waited until the 14th of November, his reelection may well have been declared invalid. So as to prevent that from happening and to remain in power, Musharraf pipped the judiciary in declaring this emergency.
The reasons put forth by Musharraf in declaring this emergency are manifold but one of the chief reasons was the recent surge in militancy and the attack on Ms. Bhutto's life. Of course, there are many who think that the attack was self contrived by the general and that it was all too convenient for him to get rid off his chief political rival. All said and done, Bhutto had emerged as the strongest political contender and had the bomb attack worked and Bhutto had died, then Musharraf would have got ridden off his main rival. Since he could not do much to Nawaz sheriff due to the Saudi royal family connection, he decided to deal with Bhutto and we all know how that attack went. Bhutto must have gotten an inkling of things to happen in Pakistan which is why she flew to Dubai under the pretext of seeing her children but the latest reports suggest that Benazir Bhutto is on her way back and is due to arrive in Karachi even as I write this post.
All fundamental rights are all suspended and there are to be no meetings of any kind and the army has moved into all corners of Pakistan with orders to fire at will. This is not the kind of behaviour that one expected from one of America's closet allies in the war on terror. Recently Condi rice had said that the current administration is totally against any imposition of any emergency or any martial law but it seems that is what is taking place in Pakistan as we speak.More to the fact, right now there is a high level meeting going on in the American embassy in Islamabad between the American officials to chalk out their position on the current emergency. Meanwhile, the army entered the Supreme court of Pakistan and told Iftekhar Chaudhry, that his services as the chief justice of the Supreme court of Pakistan is no longer required. This has all the hallmarks of being just a preview before the actual 'martial law' is imposed on Pakistan. At the moment, in Pakistan, all phone calls and mobile signals are halted as well as the airing of independent television channels. It is sad to see this happen to a neighbouring country and one that India values a great deal. What is puzzling me a little bit is both India and Pakistan have a common heritage and a similar constitution that upholds democratic values. Yet, in Pakistan, time and time again, the democratic values have been suspended and the army has taken the reins of power from an elected government. This has happened so many times that it seems that this imposition of the emergency since the time of General Zia ul haq has become an all to familiar story in Pakistan. It seems that even the coffee wallah no longer looks surprised as the army imposes emergency on his home nation and it has all the appearances of 'Business as usual'!

Russia and China block the Iran sanctions!

This is not exactly a surprising news, is it? Both Russia and China have enormous economic capital invested in Tehran and they know that if the U.N were to apply any economic sanction of any kind on Iran, they both face huge losses as well as the loss of lucrative oil contracts.
This does bring into the question of the 'Multi polar' world versus that of the 'Unipolar' one. Is the United states right in waging an economic war on a single country and expecting all the other nations to follow its lead? Many people may have something very strong kin nature to say to the United states, especially with the way that its foreign policies are being run. The way it is going, it is only a matter of time before the United states sees that it has no friends whatsoever in the International community. Both Russia and China are totally against the imperialistic attitude of the United states. What is more they both together with India are trying to fashion up a multi polar world, one that does heed to the rules of the book. Where the Unites states is concerned, it has long since thrown the book out of the window along with Jimmy carter. The United states has made it clear that it has no intention of being a 'hall monitor' but instead plans to be the bully. And do you want to take an educated guess who is in its headlights, Iran, right in the center of this storm that is yet to blow!united states,
