Download or read book Karachi: City of Broken Dreams written by Hussain S. Shaffi and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-02-23 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The city of Karachi, Pakistan is plagued with daily violence. Murder, rape, kidnapping, and bombing have become a part of daily life. In the midst of all this, young teenage girls are often the victims of such despicable acts and are even sold to other parts of the world, especially to the Middle East for prostitution. The residents of Karachi have become desensitized to daily violence and have become immune to these daily occurrences in their once beloved city. This is the shocking true story of Mariam Yousuf, a 13 year old teenager, who had been living a happy and content life with her parents when it took an ugly turn. One day Mariam was picked up early from school and did not return home. Follow Mariam and her family's desperate attempts at getting her back.
Download or read book Karachi written by Laurent Gayer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With an official population approaching fifteen million, Karachi is one of the largest cities in the world. It is also the most violent. Since the mid-1980s, it has endured endemic political conflict and criminal violence, which revolve around control of the city and its resources (votes, land and bhatta-"protection" money). These struggles for the city have become ethnicized. Karachi, often referred to as a "Pakistan in miniature," has become increasingly fragmented, socially as well as territorially. Despite this chronic state of urban political warfare, Karachi is the cornerstone of the economy of Pakistan. Gayer's book is an attempt to elucidate this conundrum. Against journalistic accounts describing Karachi as chaotic and ungovernable, he argues that there is indeed order of a kind in the city's permanent civil war. Far from being entropic, Karachi's polity is predicated upon organisational, interpretative and pragmatic routines that have made violence "manageable" for its populations. Whether such "ordered disorder" is viable in the long term remains to be seen, but for now Karachi works despite-and sometimes through-violence.
Book Synopsis Fractured Fractals and Broken Dreams by : Guy David
Download or read book Fractured Fractals and Broken Dreams written by Guy David and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes new notions of coherent geometric structure. Fractal patterns have emerged in many contexts, but what exactly is a "pattern" and what is not? How can one make precise the structures lying within objects and the relationships between them? The foundations laid herein provide a fresh approach to a familiar field. From this emerges a wide range of open problems, large and small, and a variety of examples with diverse connections to other parts of mathematics. One of the main features of the present text is that the basic framework is completely new. This makes it easier for people to get into the field. There are many open problems, with plenty of opportunities that are likely to be close at hand, particularly as concerns the exploration of examples. On the other hand the general framework is quite broad and provides the possibility for future discoveries of some magnitude. Fractual geometries can arise in many different ways mathematically, but there is not so much general language for making comparisons. This book provides some tools for doing this, and a place where researchers in different areas can find common ground and basic information.

Download or read book A Summer of Dreams written by Raafay Awan and published by Raafay Awan. This book was released on 2021-08-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Years ago I started a blog with the aim of sharing my thoughts and feelings with the world while sitting in the computer lab at my college. The blog turned out to be a success. Biggest blogging network of Pakistan, one of the biggest in the world. It helped me to be included in the list of world’s top 100 youngest bloggers back in 2012 and currently has more than 1100 posts and millions of views but then I wanted something more. Several times over the years I have thought of many ideas, things and plots about which I can write a book but I just couldn’t get the required motivation. Last year though, I realised that I have written so many articles and blogs which are scattered here and there so why not convert them into a book? So here it is, the book of Finding Neverland Blog. It took me best part of 2020 to edit the previously written articles, find them here and there, compile everything, update entries and write some new posts. You will find articles on a wide range of topic such as fiction, social, nonfiction, sports, culture, stories, travel, countries, history and science. I hope people reading this will enjoy around 100,000 words as much as I enjoyed typing them down- Raafay Awan

Book Synopsis Stolen Stripes and Broken Medals by : Dr. Muhammad Anwar
Download or read book Stolen Stripes and Broken Medals written by Dr. Muhammad Anwar and published by Author House. This book was released on 2006-10-26 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stolen Stripes and Broken Medals is a true account of the life of a Pakistani naval officer who despite reaching the star ranks and with impeccable record of service had to prematurely say good bye to his long military career. In fact those achievements created enemies who ultimately staged the fatal conspiracy when he was at the pinnacle of his career and was just about to get his second star. The title of this book reflects as to how his hard earned stripes were stolen and his medals broken by no one other than the top brass of the Navy since he had refused to tell a lie to safeguard their personal interests. This book tells the story of his long naval career which was full of adventures, challenges, and achievements and of course the due recognition which he had earned through sheer hard work and dedication to the service. This is an eye opening account for those who want to see as to what happens to those who are upright and honest but without any backing in a country like Pakistan. It also reflects on what happens behind the close doors of the top leadership in the Armed Forces, who are trusted with nations sacred duty. It is for the first time that someone has taken such a bold step to touch the untouchable, apprising his nation and those in the helm of affairs, expecting some positive outcome.
