Pakistan Engineers Forum (PEF) held a general body meeting last week with a series of programme on the agenda.
The event saw the fraternity bidding farewell to the outgoing PEF team whose tenure ended this month after two years and welcoming the new one. A souvenir magazine was also launched on the occasion in addition to musical interlude.

Little time to savour T20 win, says Afridi

The short gap between the recently concluded ICC World Twenty20 and the next edition in the West Indies in April 2010 has robbed Pakistan of the chance to fully savour the triumph, the allrounder Shahid Afridi has said.

"I fail to understand why the next World Cup will be played in nine months time," Afridi told reporters on arrival in Karachi. "If it was being organised after two years, people would have remembered Pakistan's victory and it would have been more enjoyable."

Guests and community members cutting a cake at the celebration

Hundreds of jubilant Pakistanis in Qatar celebrated their country’s thrilling victory in the World T20 Championship at an event on Monday.
Organised by the Pak Youth Society (PYS), the occasion also saw the community urging its members to remember the millions of internally displaced people (IDPs) from Swat in this time of joy.
“We are celebrating in Doha again after 17 years, showing what unity and dedication can achieve for a nation,” PYS’s president Qazi Mohamed Asghar said in his welcome speech.

Afridi becomes toast of nation

Karachi: Pakistan’s swashbuckling all-rounder Shahid Afridi became the toast of the troubled nation after his performance with both bat and ball lifted his team to World Twenty20 success on Sunday.
The 29-year-old rose to the occasion at the tournament’s key moments, with successive half-centuries in the semi-final and final and taking three crucial wickets—performances which earned him two man-of-the-match awards.
