US should stop interferring with Pakistan politics

The current US efforts to build up some kind of political coalition in Pakistan, led by General Pervez Musharraf, would only exacerbate the situation. Any government which is not made through political process has always caused problems. History is evident that both islamism and extremism have flourished in the military eras in Pakistan.
The article from a Dawn newspaper correspondent (titled: An attempt to create unnatural polarization) clearly analyzes the political situation in Pakistan, and explains what US policy makers are missing. In summary, it shows that creating a "polarized political situation" in Pakistan is dangerous for both Pakistan and US. The US assumes that the only divide-line in Pakistan is "moderate" and "extremist", whereas any Pakistani knows that this is not the case. There are many other factors which make the thinking of majority of Pakistanis. I would highly recommend this reading.
p.s: who told Pervez Musharraf (for that matter, US also) that he is the only savior of Pakistan?

Another VIM discovery

Generally, I find VIM features on a need to know basis (although the need sometimes advances to such levels that I forget to do original work, but its fun, believe me). So, I have to explain to you the whole scenario, otherwise you won't be able to enjoy the search (and their use afterwards) for VIM features that I do. Anyways, usually I find myself browsing codes (at very few times, you are actually writing the code). Now, I have found the use of a variable Y (using VIM's cscope support), and I am going through the context in which it has been used (through the use of VIM's [{ command). After I have reached the top of context tree (e.g., variable Y use within an if, which is within a for and which is within function X: aha, now I have the whole picture of how variable Y has been used), I have to go back to where I originally started (or may be to the for loop within which Y was used). How do I trace back the jumps that I took when I used [{ commands?

Here is the solution: use Ctrl-o and Ctrl-i. Easy, haan: not before you find it. C-o takes you into one direction of jumps, whereas C-i takes you into reverse direction. Use them, and you'll start appreciating VIM as much as I do...:)

(Another use): you are at a certain part of a code. You have to search for a particular pattern, so you start the search by /, and pressing n. How do you go back to where you were before the search..? great, haan.. Without imagination, VIM is nothing. Imagine, and then search for that particular feature (and then use it, and then think again, oohh not, a vicious cycle)..

(psssssssss: dude, what is this talk all about, I am happy with something, may be notepad..:))

Amélie

Wow!! what a wonderful movie it was... The following review from one of the movie critics truly says everything about it:

"This is what the Movies are supposed to be all about, magical, transporting confections of dreams and hopes and kindness and true love."

Although I am not sure what is the definition of a romantic comedy, but it contained both these elements. Plus the soundtrack and music is a premium bonus: very touching. I think it won like some best soundtrack award in 2001. I generally don't write about movies and music etc. But, this movie is special and somewhat really different. The storyline, direction, acting and music: all are great.

--- "Without you, today’s emotions ... would be the scurf of yesterday’s"
--- "I like to look for things no one else catches. I hate the way nobody ever looks at the road in old movies."
--- "I had two heart attacks, an abortion, did crack... while I was pregnant. Other than that, I'm fine."
