The use of UPS has spread like a rapid fire all over the country these days, not only at offices but most of the people at home are as well utilizing the services provided by the device, offcourse they are left with no other affordable alternative since petrol prices have shooted up like fire again and the scorching heat of the summers and than the untimely and unlimited load shedding all over the country is killing people.

I’ve never used a UPS before but a friend of mine had one custom built for his home 2-3 months back, a custom one in a sense that he made a electrician design it for his requirements that could at least bear the load for 6 tube lights and 6 fans and at the same time make a computer function properly, it set him up for about 9000PKR but the thing is powerful and i kinda like it because the Appliance Parts are easily available and re-usable;).

P.S:Get your UPS before the scorching heat of summer toasts you out there!

I’ve never lived in a villa or a home that had a Mail box in the entire life but i’ve seen some really appealing mailboxes fixed at the end of the houses and gates that actually are waiting for the mail to arrive. Though most of them that i’ve come across or heard have been empty since years since the concept of Mailboxes here in Pakistan is not that famous as much as it is in the other parts of the world where it has to be a definite part of a residence.

The house we currently reside in has a mailbox made out of steel and its embedded within the gate but frankly speaking out of the 2 years we’ve been there, i have never come across a single mail that lays within that, most of the time its hand delivered or either thrown over the gates so that most of the time the puppies could lay there waste on them or the cats can chew them being fooled of it as a peace of brown bread. The use of it however is really something useful but its about culture and we can’t blame the post guys for that.

By the way i was looking around over the stumbleupon and came across some really awesome looking Mail boxes, both commercial and residential! It just came into my mind, we really should have them in use;)

The Deaths of Ian Stone happened to be quite a great movie to watch specially with the story line and great animations and graphical representation i never felt i am watching what actually comes in the Genre of horror but is at the same time a romantic movie as well. The movie is a story about a former Harvester(who kill with thorn on the hands and suck blood as if some kinda Vaporizer) who turns out to get opponent of his own type of people after falling in love with a girl named Jenie. Stone however has to face several harsh deaths from people of his kind but is literally never eliminated since his powers are stronger than all of them, the movie is how he fights with his own kind and than finally succeeding to get the true love of his life in the form of the girl who happened to be with him in all the lifes he lived.

IMDB rates the movie as 5.8/10 but since i hate the lamers and critics out there at IMDB who’d rate the movie good and bad for no particular reason so i’d rate a good movie like that atleast 8/10.

But they sure have started giving us the feeling that they sooner will, like few weeks back i remember we had full sleeves just to make sure we don’t die of the cold air that blows around the campus and now what the tee’s are all around to be seen and at night i mostly take off my shirt just to make sure i don’t die of the warmth the temperature is giving me, but hey wait, this isn’t even the start yet, they haven’t yet arrived, The Summers!

Ok the shirt taking off thing was kinda exaggeration though but well i did it, just cos i feel too warm while the 2 fans over my head spin to there maximum, unfortunately in the dorms one is not allowed to install a climate control unit cos than who in god’s name will cover up the already loaded power and the cost but well well, when we speak of how bad the summer is, it has its good sides as well. Mangoes am sure are one of them and so are the Milk Shakes and the 3 month off days from campus and visits to Nathia gali and Doonga Gali Water Tanks, using internet at the elevation of 7000 metres above the sea level in an area where there is no telephone line even and than having the chill out as an internee in some multi national company but let me get back to reality its just my imagination at the moment. I hope i have my summer the way i want, but i really don’t want it to bother me much cos however warm or hot the Summers are, I love them!

Surely turned out to be a great movie to watch specially with Jim Carry on the voice. I was really concerned about how the movie is going to be when i just brought it from a friend of mine and never in my imagination was that i’ll have a great animated movie with a good story-line to watch. Anyways Horton hears a Who! is a great movie to watch and i strongly recommend it.

The movie ratings according to IMDB are 7.6/10 but i’d personally rate it 9/10 for the awesome graphics as well as the great story, and not to forget to mention the voice. Certainly a must to watch only when you’re bored, thats a must:)

XBox is probably not a very famous gaming console back in Pakistan , the main reason is because at first Sony’s Play station has dominated the entire console gaming market with the launch of its PS 1 , PS 2 and now the hit of all PS 3. The second main reason that Xbox a Microsoft product is either too expensive for people to handle out here, with nearly no support in the games available out here.

XBox 360  though i don’t own one but is a great thing to be but when you go to the market to purchase games and cds (e.g Hitman, Age of Empires, Motorcycle DVDs, Racing games like Need for Speed etc) you won’t find much variety and even if you get them am sure they are top level pirated dvds with a very bad quality that either won’t run in the first place and if they really do, the graphics quality reminds you of the VHS era and not to forget to mention the life of such cds and dvds is hardly 20 time insertion to the console and than you’re all done! And than you think Microsoft woud expect its revolutionary XBox 360 to prevail over the market which has so much and better to offer for PS users.
