My father expired in 1990
leaving us the three daughters behind
and his wife (our mom). my grand dad (father's dad)
expired last year December. My grand dad had 4 sons of
which only 2 are living and one daughter (still alive).
now as per the law of inheritance in Pakistan would my
mother get a share or us three (his expired son's
granddaughters) in his property and other assets. and if
yes
then what will be our share. just a note that my
grandmother is
still alive and my grand dad did not leave any will.
According to Shariat, if there is
no surviving male heir, the property of the deceased
goes to the eldest surviving male heir. In your case the
property of the late granddad goes to 2 surviving son.
None to you or your mother as per Shariat law in force
in Pakistan.

Exclusive Recipe
Alloo Aur
Keema Kay Rolls
Potato rolls stuffed with
minced maet
Ingredients:
1\2 kilogram potatoes
2 teaspoon salt
1\2 teaspoon black pepper
250 grams lean minced beef
1 teaspoon garlic paste
1 teaspoon ginger paste
1\2 teaspoon chilli powder
1\2 cup water
1\2 teaspoon black pepper, powder
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 large egg, beaten
- - bread crumbs for coating
- - oil for deep frying
How to Cook:
1. In a large saucepan cover potatoes with cold water by 2
inches and simmer until tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
2. Drain potatoes in a colander and cool slightly. While
potatoes are still warm, peel and mash with a potato masher
or fork and stir in 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Chill
mashed potatoes until cold.
3. Meanwhile prepare the stuffing: Place mince in a skillet.
Add ginger, garlic, chili powder, black pepper, water and
remaining salt to it.
4. Cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes until mince is
tender and water has been completely absorbed. This is very
important otherwise rolls will split on frying. Remove from
heat; add vinegar and keep aside to cool.
5. Flour your palm and place about 2 tablespoons of the
mashed potato and pat it into a round shape. Place a little
of the stuffing in the center and fold the potato paste over
it, covering the stuffing completely and roll it into an
oval shape.
6. Dip rolls first in egg and then roll in bread crumbs to
cover completely. Repeat with remaining rolls and place them
in a single layer on a baking tray.
7. Heat oil in a karahi or wok over medium heat and fry
rolls in batches for 3-5 minutes or until golden. Remove
from oil and put them on absorbent kitchen paper to absorb
excess oil.

How can I improve
my travel Planning?
Most people
don't have any problems when they fly, but it's possible to
make airplane travel safer and more comfortable. Here are
some tips:
Carry enough of all of
your medicines in your carry-on luggage. Ask your
doctor whether you should change your dosages if your eating
and sleeping times will change at your destination. Bring
enough medicine to last your whole trip. Take extra medicine
with you in case your return trip is delayed.
If you have diabetes or
epilepsy, carry a notification and identification card (such
as the "Diabetes Alert Card" from the American Diabetes
Association). Have the name and phone number of your doctor
with you in case of an emergency. Remember to bring along
the names and dosages of all of your medicines.
The air in airplanes is
dry, so drink nonalcoholic, decaffeinated beverages and
water to avoid becoming dehydrated.
What can I do about jet
lag?
Get plenty of sleep before you leave.
Don't drink a lot of
alcohol.
Eat well-balanced
meals.
Avoid overeating.
Exercise as much as
you can on your trip.
Use sleep medicines
for only a few days.
Get used to a new
time zone by going along with the local meal and bedtime
schedules.
What about pain in my
ears?
If your ears hurt when you fly, try
taking a decongestant medicine (such as pseudoephedrine)
before you get on the plane. You can also swallow often and
chew gum during the flight. Babies can suck on bottles or a
pacifiers during the flight.

Yousuf's amazing run-spree
Mohammad Yousuf
an unbelievable year
The
year 2006 has been a spectacular one for Mohammad
Yousuf. It started off with a 199-ball 173 against India
at Lahore, and since that knock, he hasn't looked back,
finishing with an aggregate of 1788, beating Viv
Richards's tally of 1710 quite handily to wrest the
record of
most number of runs in a calendar year.
Begin as you mean to go, they say, and Yousuf has
followed that maxim well. After starting off with that
hundred at Lahore, he followed it with another hundred
at Faisalabad, and only narrowly missed a hat-trick of
hundreds, falling for 97 at Karachi.
Just how far ahead Yousuf is from the rest of the pack
is evident in the table below, which lists the top
run-scorers in 2006. Younis Khan makes it a one-two for
Pakistan on the top of the list, but his tally of 1179
is well short of Yousuf's aggregate. Ricky Ponting is in
third place, but with three more Tests to go against
England, he must fancy his chances of getting the 122
runs he needs to take the second spot.

Yousuf
finally ended the year with an amazing nine hundreds
from 11 Tests and, with his 124 at Karachi, became only
the sixth Pakistan batsman to score a
hundred in each innings of a Test, joining Hanif
Mohammad, Javed Miandad, Wajahatullah Wasti, Yasir
Hameed and Inzamam-ul-Haq.
Yousuf scored plenty of runs in all the series he played
in this year, but he saved his best for last - his
series aggregate of 665 makes him the third-highest
scorer in a three-Test series, behind Graham Gooch and
Brian Lara.

Love for fellow Beings “The
merciful are shown mercy by the All-Merciful. Show mercy to
those on earth, and He Who is in heaven will show mercy unto
you.”- saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him)
Dear buddies, love is a universal language. Humans are the
epitome of love and compassion. It is sad to see wars and
hatred around the world. Such circumstances cause tension
and insecurity for everyone. For universal peace to prevail,
it is important to show concern and love for fellow beings.
The universal principle "Do unto others as you would have
others do unto you" has turned out to be not only wise and
generous, but self-protective as well.
Allah has commanded humans to shower love on their fellow
beings. It is this that determines the position of one
before Allah in this world and the Hereafter. It is this
kindness that determines man’s position among
his fellow human beings as well.
The Messenger of Allah said, “Allah has ordained kindness
on everything." All religions of the world stress the importance of
extending kindness to others. Every creed lays the necessary
guidelines for its followers instructing them of benevolence
towards fellow beings. Loving Fellow beings entails being
generous to them and refraining from harming them. In spite
of all the cultural and linguistic differences and personal
quirks, people on this planet are pretty much alike. People
breathe the same air, live under the same sky and on the
same earth. Battles and wars often stem from differences.
If we focus on finding similarities, we will be just
surprised to see that we share more things that are common.
Moreover, wise men show tolerance towards differences.
Love and kindness to our fellow humans and also to other
creatures also reveal the extent to which we love God,
because in loving our fellows, we are fulfilling His
commandment. When a flower blooms, its colour and scent
first touch the garden near it, and then spread. In the same
way, an act of human kindness by a man should first touch
those nearest to him, his family and his neighbors and then
travel to others.
There are just innumerous ways through which love for fellow
beings can be shown. If a man removes an obstacle from the
path, he is doing service to humanity and thus showing his
concern for them. By extending friendly hands to those who
try to sever ties is another gesture that symbolizes love
for fellows.
Human kindness is a very powerful tool in making us better
humans and the world a better place. It is true that often
the love extended may not be reciprocated right away and a
person might feel dejected, but on the first place, the
deeds of kindness shall not be done for worldly reward but
for Allah's agreement. This rule has been beautifully
phrased by Mother Teresa in following verses,
The good you do today,
People will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
You see, in the final analysis,
It is between you and God;
It never was between you and them anyway.

Tips and Techniques for Driving in Rain
1. Exercise extreme caution
after a long dry spell.
During a dry period, engine oil and
grease build up on the road over time.
When mixed with water from a new
rainfall, the road becomes extremely
slick. Continued rainfall will
eventually wash away the oil, but the
first few hours can be the most
dangerous.
2. Allow for more travel
time.
You should plan to drive at a slower
pace than normal when the roads are wet.
Keep in mind that traffic is likely to
be moving slower as well. There's also
the possibility that your preplanned
route may be flooded or jammed. Whatever
the case, rushing equals higher risk.
3.
Brake earlier and with less force
than you would normally. Not only does
this increase the stopping distance
between you and the car in front of you,
it also lets the driver behind you know
that you're slowing down. Also, be more
meticulous about using turn signals, so
that other drivers know your intentions,
and take turns and curves with less
speed than you would in dry conditions.
4. Stay toward the middle of
the road
to avoid deep standing puddles.
5. Don't use cruise control.
If you hydroplane, there's the chance
your car could actually
accelerate. Cruise control
also allows drivers to be less vigilant
and to take their foot away from the
pedals — not a great idea when reaction
time is so important.
6.
If you see a large puddle up ahead,
drive around it or choose a different
route.
It could be that it's covering a huge
gaping maw into the front door of hell.
Well, maybe not, but water splashing up
into your car's engine compartment could
damage its internal electrical systems.
Also, a pothole may be hiding under the
water, just waiting in ambush to damage
a wheel or knock your suspension out of
alignment. If you can't gauge the depth,
or if it's covering up the side curb,
try to avoid it.
7. Don't attempt to cross
running water.
Lot of trouble if the force of the water
is greater than the weight of your
vehicle. All-wheel drive isn't going to
be much help if your vehicle is being
pushed sideways.
8.
After you cross a puddle,
tap on your brake pedal lightly
to dry off some of the water on your
rotors.
9. Turn on your headlights,
even when there's a light sprinkle. It
helps you see the road, and more
importantly, it helps other motorists
see you. However, don't blast your high
beams in the rain or fog — it'll obscure
your view further, as the light will
reflect back at you off the water
droplets in the air. If your car is
equipped with fog lights, you may find it
helpful to turn these on, as they throw
a little extra light on the road while
making your car easier to see.
10. Watch out for pedestrians.
An ordinarily observant pedestrian may
become distracted by fiddling with an
umbrella or a rain slicker. Plus,
raindrops deaden sound, so the usual
audio clues for measuring car distances
become obscured. Keep a sharp lookout
for people in the road.
11.
If it's raining so hard that you can't
see the road or the car in front of you,
pull over and wait it out.
12. Track the car ahead of
you.
Let the car ahead pave a clear path, so
to speak, through the water.
13. Give a truck or bus extra
distance.
Their extra-large tires can create
enough spray to block your vision
completely. Avoid passing one, but if
you must pass, do it as quickly as
safety allows.
14. Defog your windows.
Rain will quickly cause your windshield
to fog up. Switch on both front and rear
defrosters and make sure the air
conditioning is turned on. Most cars'
climate control systems will
automatically engage the A/C when the
windshield defrosts function is
selected.
15.
If you start to
hydroplane, don't brake suddenly or turn
the wheel,
or you might spin into a skid. Release
the gas pedal slowly and steer straight
until the car regains traction. If you
must brake, tap the brake pedal (unless
you have antilock brakes, in which case
you can put your foot down).
WISHING YOU A PLEASANT AND SAFE DRIVE:
