Degree of bluntness of Pakistani news channels!

Country like Pakistan which has lack of everything is surprisingly abounded in the news channels. No one knows exactly how many news channels our country have but exactly knows they are many and still growing aggressively. The news channels with stimulating slogans and well built graphic techniques appealing today’s children too that have nothing to understand it. Commonly people like them because they are up dating us with latest news of the Pakistan or now more of about our city (042). They are providing us more employment, awareness, education and political situation the more curious one issue.
Pakistan has a number of channels which are more popular among people like Geo News, ARY News, Dawn News, Express News, Duniya News, Samma News, Waqt News, Indus News, Channel 5, Royal News, City 42 and one Pakistani official News channel PTV News. But with what they up dating is only deteriorating our psychological stability, Depression, Isolation, frustration, hatred, selfishness, criticism, chaos and confusion. Every Pakistani child knows what mobile, TV, Car, vehicles, internet is but nobody knows how these things are made and how they work. 
Today our youth is wasting his time in front of these news channels because what do our children actually watch? Education about TNT, explosives, child and women rapes, human corpses, human flesh, human beheaded bodies, blood, tears, and complains. Talk shows based on science and technology, human history, world affairs OR Talk shows just about Stupid and corrupted Politicians in Pakistan. Are we receiving updated news about world or just Pakistan? What do we see in entertainment news? Off course nothing but stupid news about “porn Indian Film Industry”. 
Crimes involving violence occur in large scale everywhere but no media ever shows the A-Z crime scene to the general public because they don’t want to violate the innocent minds of their young generation with horrifying videos and pictures but what happens in Pakistan is that not only the crime story is discussed in detail but they all show the crime blooded tools and crime location filled with blood and human corpses. They show blooded and burned human body parts live on their channels to our Children. Our children today know more about explosive devices and metal tools than they do about Science and technology.
The youth of Pakistan is losing trust on their country. Every literate Pakistani is in hurry to leave Pakistan as soon as Possible. Today more highly qualified Pakistani young gentlemen are serving Foreign Nations than serving their Homeland. And this is what westerns dream to see “a Confused Muslim Nation, with its youth with no purpose in life” and no attention towards Science and human development. News Channels serve only to show the bad about Pakistanis and Muslim. In short Most of these channels are ran and funded by western Companies. This Business is bringing them jewels plus serving their religious motives. This scenario is very important as a Pakistani to analyze and deal with it collectively.

Brand in focus: Hassan Sheheryar Yasin (HSY)

HSY have no necessity of any kind of introduction because his own name is a remarkable starting of a successful business venture known by everyone who belongs to his field even rather only in an inspiration. Off course he is none other than Hassan Sheheryar Yasin who is one of the biggest names in Pakistan Fashion industry. He was born in Lahore Pakistan.

Current Crisis in Pakistan - Possible solutions

Pakistan is the world’s first Muslim nuclear-armed “failed state”. The country’s current situation is as terrorist bombings, uprising of Islamic fundamentalists, a weakened democracy and a faltering economy. Every day that passes things get even worse and economy is in down spin. Relations with India were recently on the road to reestablishment after years of conflict over Kashmir issue but received a quick setback after the recent attacks on Mumbai. Before that Pakistan was facing the consequences of the 9/11 accident whose blame is also on the shoulders of Muslims. The situation in Pakistan is very bad or one can say on the edge. Said by one US official “No money, No energy and now No government”.
Pakistan is facing now-a-days existential crisis on its streets, its courts, and its parliaments. Most democracy experts say that the system needs informed and educated masses. Fortunately no one Pakistani political leader denies with this fact but unfortunately these same politicians don’t even help a little to make Pakistanis to read and write.
Pakistan necessitates a lead which has determination, optimistic, and act as a catalyst for it. Basically it is a time of showing new ideas and creativity in building the ruined relationship with whom who are the true friends of Pakistan. With other vital problems Pakistan is facing the high inflation rate along with unemployment & lack of investment.
The most unfortunate aspect of the Pakistan’s crisis is that the judiciary was always kept under restrain by all successive governments. The doctrine of dichotomy of powers is the essence of our Constitution. In reality, this system could not be developed because of regular military invasions. For more than 32 years, i.e. more than half of its life, Pakistan had remained under the rule of different military generals. This one man rule has extended the authority and powers of executive more than the system of dichotomy required. It is very painful to note that the judiciary in Pakistan has extended authority to military rulers to legislate and even to amend the Constitution. 
Inflation remains the biggest threat to the economy, jumping to more than 9% in 2005 before easing to 7.9% in 2006. In 2008, following the surge in global petrol prices inflation in Pakistan has reached as high as 25.0%. In 2009 it jumped to 30%.The central bank is pursuing tighter monetary policy while trying to preserve growth.
While Pakistan has some social and political problems, it has also been stated as being the tourism industry's big thing. Pakistan has diverse cultures, people and landscapes. The country's attraction range from the ruin of civilization such as Mohenjo-Daro, Harappa and Taxila, to the Himalayan hill stations, which attract those interested in winter sports.
The romances of the North West Frontier Province is timeless and legend. Punjab province has the site of Alexander's battle on the Jhelum River and the historic city Lahore, Pakistan's cultural capital, with many examples of Mughal architecture such as Badshahi Masjid, Shalimar Gardens, Tomb of Jahangir and the Lahore Fort. Before the Global economic crisis Pakistan received more than 500,000 tourists.
In 2009, The World Economic Forum’s Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report ranks Pakistan as one of the top 25% tourist destinations for its World Heritage sites. Ranging from mangroves in the South, to the 5,000-year-old cities of the Indus Valley Civilization —Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa.
Pakistan receives economic aid from several sources as loans and grants. The International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank (WB), Asian Development Bank (ADB), etc provides long term loans to Pakistan. Pakistan also receives bilateral aid from developed and oil-rich countries. In November 2008, The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has approved a loan of 7.6 Billion to Pakistan, to help Stabilize and rebuild the country's economy. More recently the govt. of Pakistan received an economic aid of US $5bn dollars out of which the US pledge of $1bn was described as a down-payment on the previously announced $1.5bn already promised to Pakistan for each of the next five years.
The European Union promised $640m over four years, while reports said Saudi Arabia had pledged $700m over two years. Overall Friends of Pakistan had pledged $1.6 billion in aid, which would help Pakistan, move forward on its way to self-reliance. In my opinion, Pakistan should focus on the self-blessing providing to it by Allah such as its major crops, minerals and the other hidden powers present within its human capital.
