Punjnud: Dedicated Urdu Keyboard for Android Devices
Being an Urdu blogger and promoter of Unicode Urdu, I have to write lots of Urdu everyday. While doing so on a PC/Laptop there are many software and keyboard layouts available that let you write Urdu fonts but for smartphones and tablets you don’t have much options.
I had been using Multiling keyboard on all of my Android devices for last few months. It has support for more than 130 languages including Urdu, but today I found another great dedicated Urdu Keyboard called Punjnud Keyboard available on the Play Store for free.

Why Windows XP is Still Used?
According to the wikipedia stats collected from various websites the total usage of Windows XP is 28.8%. Even though more advanced versions of the Microsoft Operating System are available such as Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 but still 28.8% of the users prefer Windows XP. Although Microsoft is going to stop its support for Windows XP in April 4, 2014 and user will not get any security updates. However still some of the portion may use it.
According to StatCounter.com, one of the free popular traffic tracking tool for websites and blogs more than 20% of the users uses Windows XP on their PCs. Both genuine and cracked windows xp for which several methods are used to make it genuine are included in the data. Majority of the users are from Asia and specially from China because it is easy to use pirated version there.
2# Lack of awareness about Computers
Another possible reason could be that most of the computer users are not really aware about the other operating systems Microsoft has for them. They use XP because it is the currently installed OS in their PC or Laptop.
There may be several other reasons but these are some of the common. However after April 4, 2014 when Microsoft stops its support for Windows XP, it can force further users to switch to another OS. If we can see drastic decrease in the %28.8 usage then we can say that majority of the users were using it because of the official support of the Microsoft.
What is your thoughts about Windows XP usage? Feel free to share in comments below.

Both genuine and cracked windows xp for which several methods are used to make it genuine are included in the data. Majority of the users are from Asia and specially from China because it is easy to use pirated version there.
What could be the possible reasons?
There could be a couple of answers for this and today in this article I would like to highlight some of the main reasons.1# People are familiar with it
As it was the first advanced operating system from Microsoft after the Windows 98, most of the people are familiar with it. They can easily operate it and work in it. This could be the first and main reason of its usage.2# Lack of awareness about Computers
Another possible reason could be that most of the computer users are not really aware about the other operating systems Microsoft has for them. They use XP because it is the currently installed OS in their PC or Laptop.
3# Old PCs or Laptops
Most of the people have old PCs with 256 MB – 512 MB of RAM and that is why they cannot install advanced versions of the OS.4# Softwares Compatibility
Some of the softwares are only compatible with Windows XP and the user simply can’t stop using the particular software. There are even some games that are only compatible with XP and users are addicted to it. Thus they are forced to use windows xp.There may be several other reasons but these are some of the common. However after April 4, 2014 when Microsoft stops its support for Windows XP, it can force further users to switch to another OS. If we can see drastic decrease in the %28.8 usage then we can say that majority of the users were using it because of the official support of the Microsoft.

Mobilink Gets WWF’s Green Office Award
Mobilink has become the first Telecom organization to receive the WWF ‘Green Office Award’ in recognition for its environmentally sustainable practices.
Mobilink received the Green Office Certification for its Regional Office Lahore premises for a 35% reduction in carbon footprint and 50% in solid waste among other measures taken.
Omar Manzur, Head of Corporate Communication Mobilink said, “Mobilink’s Corporate Responsibility function ensures that our employees are aware of environment-friendly practices and make efficient use of resources. The Green Office Award recognizes the continuous efforts that the Mobilink Torchbearers, Mobilink Foundation and the Health, Safety, Security & Environment (HSSE) departments have put in to establish our first Green Office in Lahore with support from our employees.’’
The Certification was awarded after an in-depth inspection drive by the WWF Inspection Teams which took into account environmentally sustainable practices followed at Mobilink’s Lahore office premises.
As part of the final audit, WWF also interviewed 150 Mobilink employees to assess employee involvement and awareness about the Green Office Program.
Earlier in April 2013 Mobilink introduced an Environmental Management System (EMS) Program. As part of the program Mobilink continues to reduce the consumption of water and electricity as well as ensure reduction of solid waste produced as a result of its daily work practices. Selected Mobilink Torchbearers were nominated as “Green Wardens,” who advocated the Recycle-Reuse-Reduce (RRR) Scheme to increase awareness among other employees.
Similar practices will be replicated in Mobilink’s offices across the country in line with WWF set Green Office guidelines.

Ufone and Buksh Foundation Collaborate to Lighten Homes with Solar Energy
Ufone has collaborated with Buksh Foundation, a microfinance organization, to bring convenience through electricity by becoming a part of the latter’s ‘Lighting a Million Lives’ campaign.
The pilot project has been initiated in two villages in Chiniot and through this campaign Ufone intends to facilitate the access and use of solar lighting devices among Pakistan’s rural communities as part of its CSR program.
A Solar Charging Station with five solar panels and five junction boxes has been set up in two villages, Thata Deva and Kalas. Lanterns have been distributed within households and these may be recharged through these solar panels.
This initiative will remove the need for kerosene oil lamps and therefore, reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere in the long run. It also aims to empower women as these stations will be run by selected women from the two villages, where they will be in charge of renting out and selling equipment at the charging stations.
Considering that about 43% (80 million people) of the total population of Pakistan lives without access to electricity, this will really illuminate the lives and homes of many village residents.
Mr. Asher Yaqub Khan, Chief Commercial Officer Ufone said, “Pakistan is facing a serious power problem. “A large section of the population in Pakistan’s rural areas is deprived of energy supply. Our partners at the Buksh Foundation are providing the technical support to boost energy security in rural areas like Chiniot where we have connected several houses through Solar Based Domestic Lighting Systems.”
“Ufone has always been a socially responsible company, we believe it is a great initiative for usto be able to work together and cooperate with Buksh foundation in the spirit of benefiting our country.” He further added.
Fiza Farhan, Chief Executive Officer, Buksh Foundation said “Buksh Foundation is extremely proud of this new partnership with Ufone which promises immense impact in the targeted communities as we provide them with Solar charging stations, while furthering women empowerment and economic activity in the areas. With the support of Ufone we will be able to provide clean energy to those households that were earlier living in the dark; enabling them to get access to better education, health, economic activities, mobilization- simply a better life. This is the way forward towards the paradigm shift in CSR for larger corporates towards real time developmental impact – which is certain to lead to real change in Pakistan.”
