  5. I love you NAZEER!!! I DONT HAVE MORE WORDS TO SAY… I WISH I COULD SEE U SOON HERE IN TORONTO

  6. Dear fellows at PT + well wishers

    Thanks for your understanding and your encouragement. I know it is an uphill task even for the government and the whole Pakistani people to improve the image of our country when so much is against us. But we need to go on making our humble effort, even though it is like swimming against the tide of a Tsunami on the open boiling ocean. But what other choices do we have out there!

    I had some three boring days in Toronto Salman. I really wish we were connected so that we could meet and discuss matters of mutual interest. You can Google me out and write me email so we remain connected till I am there next time.

    Meanwhile I would like to wish you all 2010 a year of fulfillment of hopes and positive energies all along!

    Nazir Sabir
