Hina Rabbani Khar was born on 19 November 1977 to rich politician and landowner Ghulam Noor Rabbani Khar of Pakistan. She graduated with a B.Sc. in Economics from Lahore University of Management Sciences in 1999 and received her M Sc (Hon) in Business Management from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 2001. She is married to Firoze Gulzar and has two daughters, Annaya and Dina. She succeeded her father in Political Arena and was elected mainly because her father was rendered in-eligible to contest elections in 2002. Due to local sensibilities about the status of Women her landlord father Noor addressed rallies and glad-handed voters; Hina stayed largely at home, with not even her photo appearing on the posters. She was appointed as Foreign minister in February last year but officially swore in on July 18. Immediately after, she paid a sudden trip to India to discuss bilateral ties. This trip brought her an explosive media attention and she became an instant celebrity in India. The Indian media reported extensively on her fashion and appearance—the Birkin bag, the sunglasses, the Jimmy Choo stilettos and the pearl necklaces. She has accompanied President Zardari to his personal trip to India in April 2012.  |
| He never bunked classes in 14 years Posted: 07 Apr 2012 10:31 PM PDT
Meet Mohammed Omar, student of St Aloysius School who took his Class 12 exam last month. Teachers say Omar has not been absent even a single day. Omar told IANS that he did not do this intentionally initially but was simply interested in going to school regularly. But at a later stage when he came to Class 10, he began to ensure that he did not skip a single day at school. Son of businessman Mohammed Ikram, who supplies salt to tanneries in Kanpur, Omar says he would attend school even when his locality was flooded after rains or when he had high fever. “If I was unwell I would pop a pill and go the school,” he said. Once his home on Nayi Sadak in Kanpur’s Techbagh area was under knee-deep water. His father’s scooter got stalled. He immediately borrowed a cycle from a labourer to reach the school. What made him maintain such attendance so religiously? Omar gives the credit to his doting mother Noor Hashmi, who he says has always prodded him not to skip school. “She has always been an inspiration,” the boy said, pointing out that his younger brother – now in Class 10 – too has not missed a single day at school. A cricket fan and a music lover, Omar has applied to the Guinness Book of World Records for his unbroken school attendance of 14 years. While Omar prefers calling his achievement “Allah ka karam” (grace of God), his teachers at the school are full of praise for his dedication. Pradeep Gupta, one such teacher who helped him fill the online form for entry into the Guinness book, says he marvels at the boy. “Hundred percent attendance for four years in school is no mean achievement,” Gupta told IANS. He said school authorities were in the process of providing cent-percent attendance certificates to Omar so that these could be sent to the Guinness office.  |
| Will Apple become a Trillion dollar company Posted: 07 Apr 2012 10:22 PM PDT Apple will become the world’s first trillion-dollar company when its shares top $1,000 each, Wall Street analysts have predicted. The technology giant’s shares were worth $633.38 last week as its stock price rose above Google’s for the first time, the Daily Mail reported Friday. Brian White, of Topeka Capital Markets, then claimed Apple’s sky-high share price will hit four figures within 12 months – making the company worth $1 trillion. He said in his report: “Apple fever is spreading like a wildfire around the world.” Gene Munster, of Piper Jaffray, followed that up by claiming Apple stock will hit $1,000 – but by 2014. The company, based in Cupertino, California, is already the most valuable company in the world currently valued at $590.82 billion, according to the newspaper. Just a year ago the shares were changing hands at $341. In January, Apple revealed it had more than doubled its profits to $13.06 billion, compared with $6 billion for the same quarter in 2010. Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive who took over from the late co-founder Steve Jobs, said: “We could have sold more if we’d had more supply. We could not be happier.” Apple’s growth is expected to be driven by sales in China, where January’s launch of the iPhone 4S triggered a near riot in Beijing, the Mail said. Earlier this year Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty predicted Apple could sell 40 million iPhones in China this year. Apple is also expected to move into the TV market after the launch of its set-top box Apple TV.  |
