I have been away for quite a while… sorry, but I had my reasons. However, I had been thinking for some time that we need a forum for students in Karachi so that they can share information, experiences and ask questions related to their school, college or university.
M.A. (Final) External Annual Examination 2005 results have been announced by Karachi University.
Sorry about posting this a little late. I was not able to find out which newspaper published the results.
While passing through Korangi Expressway and on the way to DHA on 12th August, 2006 around 9:30 pm (Saturday night) I got stuck in the worst of traffic jams on Hino Chowrangi. I was with family, including a 3 year old child.
Edit: Ok, just confirmed. The timings are 10 AM and 1 PM on July 23, 2006.
The last M.A. examination, supposed to be held on Friday, July 15, 2006 was postponed due to unrest in the city. The new date for the examination is July 23, 2006.
Finally got the package I had been waiting for! 20 CDs of Ubuntu Linux delivered at my doorstep by good ol’ guys at Canonical. According to the Ubuntu ShipIt service, the package was “sent to the shipping company on 2006-06-06”.
I went to Karachi University this Saturday (1st July, 2006) to get a duplicate Admit card. I reached the place at 10:00AM. Fortunately I had taken all documents and an extra photograph with me. In-spite of that, the people in the office were so miserably slow that I had to stay in line till 1:00PM!
After waiting patiently for the Admit Card with no luck, I called Karachi University today and asked them when the examinations will start. They confirmed the following on phone:
1. Exams will start from 5th July, 2006 onwards
2.
There was a severe traffic jam this morning (around 9:00 am) on the Korangi Express Way (the road connecting Baloch Colony flyover to DHA). A trailer-truck carrying a container had overturned and heavy machinery had been brought in to carry the wreckage away.
Yesterday was the longest day in the year and the longest night. It was hot, humid and hellish! Well, I thought of going early to bed and turned the lights out at 10:30 pm. Less than half an hour later, as soon as my eyelids started feeling heavy… KESC pulled the plug.
I cursed and cursed.
