Urdu Moot @ Islamabad

Opening today at the National Library of Pakistan Auditorium, Islamabad first-ever "International Urdu Conference". Pakistan, with Urdu recogonised, not implemented as yet, as a national language, is one of the 19 countries widely read, speak and understand it. Hope that Pakistani government would take some essential steps towards bringing it's status up to a national language, implementing it officially. Now the increase in Urdu blogging has shown once again, Arabic has already been there in computers for some times, its potential to be digit-able language.
رہتا ہے شب و روز تماشہ میرے آگے ۔ بازیچہ اطفال ہے دنیا میرے آگے

Is that readable?

Shabina Begum; jazaak Allahul khyr

Finally after three years of of tiresome battle 16 years old Shabina Begum has won the right (in a woman right concious and so-called civilised society) to wear jilbab (a head to toe dress muslim woman wears); a very basic (article 2 & 18) human right for anyone devoted to and willing to actually practising ones religion. Contrary to what French Republic has dictated, British Monarch seems to be more passionate towards religious outlook of its minorities, which is a healthy sign emerging in (and in a sense better for) Europe.

... accidentally killed journalists
