Online Shopping in Pakistan

Just got hold of my USB flash drive. I had ordered it from beliscity.com one the largest shopping sites operating in Pakistan. Online shopping is relatively new in Pakistan. It will take some time for it to catch on even though there is a huge market for it. Firstly there are very few online shopping sites operating in Pakistan. Only the major cities are covered and then they suffer from a lack of reliability. As i said, it will take some time for that trust to develop. As far as my order from beliscity goes, i had absolutely no complains. The prices are on the higher side but that was expected. For Pakistani residents looking to buy stuff online, I would recommend the following.

Leaving for Internship

This is to inform everyone that i am leaving for my summer internship tomorrow, 4th June 2008. I am going to the Sui Gas Field located in the province of Balochistan.

It is run by Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL). The internship is 4 week long so i would be returning by the end of this month. I am really excited and looking forward to a great learning experience. You can find more information about the Sui Gas field in here.

Intel Youth Network

Well today i finally got hold of my Intel Youth Network membership card. I had joined the network a few of months earlier. I was then requested to submit a digital photograph that was to be placed on the Intel Youth Network Membership cards. Today i received the package containing my membership card and i love it.
