I have also migrated my blog posts from my old WordPress.com blog to my own personal domain (ahmerjamilkhan.org). WordPress is amazing, I must say; it is really easy to use and manage, highly adaptable, easy to customize and has…

    The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that would become known…

    Love has many different meanings in many different contexts. But does this broad term encompass vandalism, robbery, arson, murder, terrorism? Many would disagree; many did just all this in the name of love. Someone made a blasphemous video insulting Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.); this ignited the sentiments of the Muslims and resulted in attacks on the…

    We, here in Pakistan, live in an incomplete dream; the incomplete dream of a great man who passes away 64 years ago today (11th Sept. 2012)… Yes, this nation is the dream and vision of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founding father of this great nation.

    Well, there is always a tomorrow! Surely there would me more time tomorrow… That, my friends, is the greatest illusion of today! Time is the only fair thing: everyone gets 24 hours each day, and its up to the people how they spend it! If something is left out, well you’ll get 24 hours again,…

    Should a patient in Persistent Vegetative State (PVS) be disconnected from his/her life support system? Is it fair that a person, who might have survived be sentenced to death?
