Some Good News for Malala, emancipating Pakistani women - one at a time

This is just a random assortment of Pakistani girl's and women that may be a cause for happiness and encouragement to Malala.

Zoha comes first:



Then comes 13 year old Hooria, who obtained three A*s in Cambridge exams:





Aneela Waheed is another achiever, sure to make Malala proud:


Next, The world's youngest Microsoft Certified Professional, Arfa Karim;




Then, comes 11 year old Sitara Akbar from chinot, another world record holder:





Okay, what about our first female fighter jet pilot - Ambreen Gul:



or first female combat ready fighter jet pilot - Ayesha Farooq:


Captain Kiran Ashraf is our best female paratrooper:




Not that Hina Rabbani Khar - our first female foreign affairs minister - is old but she has had enough press already so I mention Samina Baig - our first female climber who scaled Everest"






Not to forget Naseem Hameed - the fastest girl in South Asia:



Pakistani women also hold top positions in Bridge and Swimming in Asia. Moving on to entrepreneurship, have you heard of Maria Umar - who runs and owns    The Women's Digital League an IT-solution company that trains rural Pakistani women in micro online tasks, from online writing to social media management.


If you google Roshaneh Zafar you will find out that she established Pakistan's first microfinance institution - Kashf foundation, which is now on the Forbes list of world's top 50 microfinance organizations. You can hear her here:


Saba Gul is another high achiever;


The list is a bit longer, but the above should give some joy to us.




What can we learn

we can probably learn everything that is within the access of our senses and analysis.

.pmz files

okay, this is another weird one. A scenario where you can buy individual characters for your computer game. See, normally, the characters come as a part and package of the game and they remain fixed throughout the life of the game.  Now, the idea is that you have a game but you can add characters to it later on and as many as you like. You will simply have to run a .pmz file to add this character to your game. Whar does .pmz mean? I dont know , it just vaguely remember that this was the file extension from the dream I saw in which this idea was discussed.
