Swine Flu in Kuwait

Two days back i heard from my friend that swine flu is now reached to Kuwait. Initially i thought it is a hoax and didn’t took it seriously but soon after doing some googling i came to know that this true!. After doing some further research i found that there were some 18 US soldiers came to Kuwait on transit landed on some military airport (not Kuwait public airport) and they were tested positive in Camp Arif Jaan (US Base in Kuwait) by one US doctor. There is no information about their final destination and most importantly from which country they got infected. As per Yahoo news “An unspecified number of US soldiers at Arif jaan base who came in contact with the infected soldiers have been "examined and isolated at the base."”

I pray and hope that this virus wont spread in Kuwait and every thing will remain normal as it is currently.

Rahet Fateh Ali Khan Contribution in APOCALYPTO Sound Trek

Today while browsing internet i came across a link about famous Pakistani classical singer Rahat fateh Ali khan (successor of famous Pakistani singer Nusrat fateh ali khan). According to the information on this website , Rahat fateh Ali Khan has contributed in the sound track of famous Mel Gibson’s movie “Apocalypto”. After doing wiki i confirmed it and also found some excerpt of his “Apocalypto” work on youtube. As Per Gibson “He’s a valuable asset to our soundtrack. His dulcet tones add emotion and drama, and we have a very narrow palette as far as orchestra. We don’t have an orchestra so he is fulfilling a lot of the functions that would usually be supplied by the use of a full orchestra. Just all in one man; he’s a one-man band.” Not many Pakistanis know this, thats why i decided to write a blog on it. Check out the link for details.
