Salam,
By the grace of Almighty ALLAH, I performed Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca) in December last year. This was an amazing experience. Click on the links below to look through my eyes and accompany me on this Holy journey.

Next Stop: Estonia-Latvia (Jan 2008)
I am going to Estonia and Latvia tomorrow. It is a three day outing. Our plan is to go from Finland to Estonia by Ferry and then to Latvia by bus. (We are not saving money::We wanna explore countryside)
We have a rough plan, but nothing is certain at this stage. To be on the safe side, I have reserved hotels in Riga, Latvia and Tallin, Estonia, yesterday. Atleast, we will have a place to sleep.
Aijaz, Adnan Ghani and Farhan are my companions. I believe in this saying.
"A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles." – Tim Cahill.
It is a back-packer-type of a trip. No fix plans. 3 days and 3 countries. It will be our first experience of Eastern Europe. Journey by bus will b fun as well as tiring. We will be travelling on Eurolines. Atlest buses seem to be of good quality. 5 hours journey, not very long, especially when we are travelling from one country to the capital of another.
PS: I will upload the photos on Picassa web albums.

Pakistan Hockey and Abdul Waheed Khan
Let us go back in time. In 1978, Argentina was hosting two World Cup Tournaments. Hockey World Cup started at Buenos Aires in March 1978 and Soccer World Cup in June 1978. Pakistan won the hockey World Cup by defeating Holland in the final.
Throughout the hockey world cup, a wonderful Pakistan team managed by Abdul Waheed Khan and capatined by Islahuddin displayed a breathtaking attacking game. Crowd and connoisseurs got attracted alike.
Argentina’s soccer manager Cesar Luis Menotti became intrigued by Pakistan’s sublime technical skills. Midway through the hockey world cup, on a rest day, Pakistan manager Abdul Waheed Khan was informed that the manager of Argentine soccer team, Menotti, had arrived on his personal plane to see him. The Argentine chain-smoking coach always favoured a stylish, attacking game based on skill and technique.
Menotti wanted to discuss in detail with Waheed, the tactics to penetrate packed defences. He watched a training session of Pakistan team with Abdul Waheed.
