    Not a Great Movie

    On Wednesday, we went to see Ramchand Pakistani. I don’t know why everyone was praising the movie. There were less than 20 people in the show at Sozo World in Fortress Stadium Lahore. The movie is an honest effort and the theme is good, but the language is not family friendly.

    Something for Balochistan

    On Monday, I was invited by my uncle at the contract signing ceremony of 220 kV grid station at Khuzdar and 220 kV Dadu-Khuzdar (300 km) double circuit transmission line project. The ceremony was at WAPDA House Lahore. It is a turnkey project and my uncle’s company will be constructing the grid station, another Pakistani company is responsible for transmission line, an Iranian company will provide equipment for grid station, and NESPAK is the consultant. Chairman NTDC and the three companies signed the contract. It is a very challenging project because of the law and order situation in the region and it will improve power supply to Balochistan.
    After the signing ceremony, lunch was served at Avari and it was great.

    This picture is not of Gaddafi Stadium. Also, this is not the only ground in Lahore with flood lights. Matches are played under flood lights, especially on weekends. Who says we are facing power crisis?
