I, being a direct beneficiary, want to pay tribute to one of the telecom operators in the country for providing the general public with never-heard before international direct dialling rates. Ufone’s unbelievable rate of one paisa per second to UK, Canada and USA has taken mobile telephony to new heights. I do not hesitate to admit that the computer takes a few minutes before it gets connected but my son, who is studying in the UK, is only just fingertips away after the telecom industry emancipated me of my budgetary constraints.
Thank you, Ufone.

Please clarify
Wasim Akram, the legendary cricketer of Pakistan, seemed to have lost his sense of direction when he made a silly comment about the up and coming tour to India by Pakistan team that players should not be made ‘prisoners’ by PCB. This term prisoner is not understood. If PCB, after all, did ask Pakistani players to behave on and off the ground, how do they become prisoners? They are going to India to play cricket and not meet Rani Mukherjee as our previous players used to do. The PCB has apparently advised their players to confine to cricket and rest in a proper hotel thereafter. I do not see how these instructions become a prison as stated by Wasim Akram. Wasim Akram should take care of his words and statements.
