BTW what were Mr. Eric's comments on Mr. Mansha's punch line? Renowned short story writer Dr. Shafique-ur-Rahman in one of its story wrote about a character 'Hakoomat Aapa' that "When she was young, people used to comment about her that her future looks bright and when she became old, people used to say that her past must have been wonderful". May Allah fulfill the words of Mr. Mansha as we all want and hope for it but according to Mr. Eric's article there are three Pakistans (although the number could be even higher), first we should and have to make them one and try to rise up as a nation not as separately successful person(s) or organisations. We, at most of the times simply put blame on Zardari, Gillani, Malik Riaz, Musharraf etc. but mind me there are many such people of their type in each and every nook and corner of the country although there level is lower as compared to the described names but principally their approach matches exactly with the aforementioned personalties. That's why according to a Hadeeth that "Your own doings are your Lords", we are getting leaders like them. best regards,
Mahmood A. Sheikh.

I was among one the group who met Eric Schmidt at a dinner in Islamabad. The members included: Mian Mansha Hussain Dawood Dr. Adil Najam, VC, LUMS Dr. Umar Saif, Chairman, Punjab IT Board Lars Christian Iuel, CEO, Telenor Amin Hashwani Jehan Ara, President, PASHA Musharraf Zaidi, Ministry of Foreign Affairs (please forgive me if I've missed a few names) It seems that purpose of Eric's visit was to get some insight of ground realities in Pakistan particularly relating to war on terror, US-Pak Government relations, diplomatic tensions, etc. He was also very interested in broadband proliferation and tech entrepreneurs in Pakistan. We recommended him that Google should increase its footprint and visibility in Pakistan by establishing a full office and provide technical guidance, training, etc., to young entrepreneurs. Eric was carrying a blackberry and a young tech entrepreneur, Haris, asked him why he wasn't using an Android phone. He said that his android phone was having roaming issues in Pakistan and Afghanistan (and perhaps in some other countries), that's why he was carrying a blackberry! Mian Mansha gave Eric and his Google colleagues a very positive insight on capabilities of Pakistani people and a bright future of Pakistan. His punch line was "after 30 years, Americans would be lining up to get visas for Pakistan".
