Pakistan withdraws all cases against ICC
PCB had sent a legal notice to the ICC threatening to take them to court for shifting 14 matches of the World Cup from Pakistan due to security reasons and at the same time had
also filed a case in a civil court in Lahore against the shifting of the World Cup secretariat from Lahore to Mumbai.
"Since there is no dispute now with the ICC we immediately took measures to drop our legal proceedings including those to be initiated by our lawyers in the United Kingdom," Rizvi said.
He said the notification to this effect has been sent to the ICC and World Cup organisers.
As part of the deal, Pakistan will be paid USD 10.5 million as hosting fees of the 14 matches and another USD 7 to 8 million as ancillary revenues which it would have earned from gate money, advertising, sale of hospitality boxes if the matches had been held in Pakistan.
The ICC and World Cup host countries -- India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh -- have agreed to give the ancillary revenues to Pakistan under an agreement that took place in Dubai.
The PCB also received USD 750,000 as hosting fees from the ICC for the Champions Trophy that was moved from Pakistan to South Africa earlier this year due to security issues.
Here come the winners of the Reboot! Competition!
It was difficult, if not impossible, to pick 10 winners. All the entries were so good – each had a different slant, a different dream, a yearning to make a difference. Each revealed a bit about the person behind the entry, the entrepreneur or the one aspiring to be one. I just couldn’t pin it down to ten so I pleaded with Jawwad Ahmed Farid to sell me 4 more copies so that I could increase the number of winning entries to 14.
And I asked him to personally autograph each copy – which he did! Thank you Jawwad.
So here are the winners:
Asim Fayaz, Co-founder, chOpaal.pk, Lahore Kashif Nawaz, CTO, Plabest Solutions
Some of the entries were truly inspiring. Although some of the information in the entries was confidential, I thought I would share snippets that weren’t. Here are some of the reasons that winners gave for why they became entrepreneurs or why they want to become entrepreneurs:
“I was doing a lot of things I never believed in and working on solutions that didn’t excite me…”
“The main purpose was to ‘make meaning’ ….”
“There is no alternative to the freedom in doing something of your own rather than working for someone else. Unleashing the true potential, bringing out the creativity in you and breaking the monotonous cycle of a job in outsourcing based industry …. “
“My reason for having an interest in reading “Reboot” is the same as that of reading Founders at Work, Hackers & Painters, Blue Screen of Death, The Soul of a new Machine and many other books related to entrepreneurship or hands on experiences of startups: Primarily these books help you to keep motivated by telling you that you are not alone in bearing the hardships and the challenges. “
“One of my life goals has always been to radically change Pakistan. I fell in love with the possibilities of bringing real change to the healthcare sector in Pakistan and I am extremely lucky that this start up of mine fits in with my life goals… and will eventually be part of the change i want to see”
“You are sitting in an entrepreneurship course, going through a case study, a session defining the word entrepreneur in its truest sense. Where people make such ventures which completely change the world. Follow that with a solo project that gets as high marks as a group of the top four students from the class. Follow that with an idea floated on a platform for a business plan competition which is preceded by foundations for the entrepreneurship society on the City campus resulting in a event conceptualized in ten days, and come out of bureaucratic red tape in a month, working like clockwork showcasing ten ventures in front of experienced entrepreneurs … Add in daily dose of Techcrunch showing immense number of startups getting funding in recession…also add the knowledge of knowing that one of the top venture capitalist firms is being headed by a Pakistani…”
“I became an entrepreneur after seeing my dream job at IBM become my worst nightmare. I lost interest in working on the same piece of software day and night with so much red-tape … My aim is to create value in Pakistan”
“Being convinced that I should start doing something at age of 16, I started by preparing a list of projects from the vast spectrum of life with the help of my grandfather. After a week a list was prepared and I began exploring and narrowing down the list…Top of my list was growing Tomatoes in P.E bags. Although I had lived all my life in Karachi and had no family background of agriculture, Melons was the second crop that I grew or at least tried to grow in my backyard. All this was after dropping out of Operation Badr. Then I joined hands with my brother, collected our pocket money and started a web hosting company by buying a reseller account. It was at this stage that I learned that the most difficult part in not the programming its the sales”
“When I decided to become an entrepreneur, I didn’t even know I was becoming one. We were a bunch of friends in the second year of undergrad who got together to “do something”. There were various reasons why I chose to be a party to such a crime. One, I’ve always been at the leading end of the pack — somehow always managed to step ahead and take charge of study projects, sports teams, etc. Two, I’m driven by passion. The upside of this is that I’m really dedicated when it comes to something I really want to get/earn/make. The downside is that if I’m not passionate about it, chances are I might never care. Couple that with boring courses, torturous lectures and annoying assignments and you have an explanation for my average undergrad GPA!”
“I didn’t want to waste myself in some big organization doing boring stuff. I had some innovative ideas and I wanted to evaluate them.”
“I believe all that it takes to be a good entrepreneur is to have some really creative, out-of-the-box ideas and a fair judgement. And I believe I possess them both. What’s more, to work for someone is the worst thing for me – not that I can actually abide by the rules and regulations, but that’s like a severe inhibition to your own creative skills.”
“To answer the first part of your question in one word: Freedom! Yes it’s all about freedom. Freedom to decide my destiny. Freedom to create a system, a corporation, which does not only produce wealth but also create significant values in our lives.”
And finally one that is especially relevant to the title of the book:
“I faced the blue screen of death… and… and I rebooted! So far my system is trying to log into the windows again but has not succeeded yet. Yea, I am a kid … but the leader inside me knew that my system will crash again and again before booting into a stable operating system, so I started a little earlier. I powered on my system when I joined the university, after continuous attempts at booting..I finally succeeded.. I logged into windows…!!! But I knew.. it was nothing to get mad at. My windows was not stable, it could face the blue screen of death any time and that’s what happened.
When I was about to graduate, the joy of graduating brought the grief of blue screen. Obviously, I tried the three finger salute, but it couldn’t do anything. Eventually, I shut down instead of rebooting. Why? because I had to plan and think before starting again. After planning and thinking for a year, I have now powered on my system once again. It has not yet succeded to reach the login window. It is still booting. I am trying hard and putting my effort to complete this boot in a way that it does not crash again.. but obviously, it can happen… I’m trying to log in before I get out of the school but if I don’t, I’ll reboot once again. One thing is sure. I’ll keep on rebooting…”
I have brought the copies for the Lahore winners with me to Lahore today. If you are coming to the P@SHA Iftaari, you can collect them. Otherwise, pick them up from the distributor Imran Zia . He can be contacted at imran(at)vahzay(dot)com.
Congratulations guys. My only disappointment is that no young women sent in their entries. We will be arranging for the winners to meet the author soon.

All of these title winners will be representing Pakistan internationally. Runner ups also received jewellery and gift hampers from sponsors. The panel of judges included five credible individuals with different background within the beauty, business and entertainment field. The judges who decided on the fates of these beauties were: Asif Jamal (Karachi, Pakistan) events manager and consultant, Chetna Patel (owner of Vimi Spa), Mr. Kamal Zafar (Lahore, Pakistan an Orthopaedic doctor), Kishore Patel (Immigration Consultant) and Joyce Haist (from the National Bank of Canada). The new Miss Pakistan World, Natasha Paracha, is an honours graduate from the University of California, Berkley and is currently living in New York City. Paracha founded both the Pakistani Student Association at UC Berkley as well as a non-profit organization NGO – Vision of Development. Her non-profit organization was founded after visiting villages in rural Pakistan and recognizing the need for basic resources and opportunities. Vision of Development works to implement basic educational programs as well as tools to empower women throughout rural Pakistan. Her goal over the next year is to represent Pakistan while bringing about awareness that in today’s climate, 51 million Pakistani’s do not have the adequate access to medical and urgent care. Congratulations to Sonia Ahmed for bringing Miss Pakistan World at such a great height where it is recognized internationally. Sonia, the mastermind behind this event, put on a great show and made this pageant a success along with her team. She said, ” there is always room for improvement and new ideas and I will definitely make more of an effort to make this event even more memorable next year.” Referring to the controversy, which has surrounded the event since its launch, Sonia says, “Pakistani women have always felt compelled to stay in the background. They have never had the same opportunities to create a voice and stand for what they believe in. It was only after living in Canada that I realized that women really do have the power to make a difference and make a change. You see it every day here (in Canada) and I hope that the women of Pakistan begin to see that as part of their reality soon.” In Comfort iam visible for friends all best friends. really iam not fictionaly stupid neither idealogist nor sample tabulate. coming very soon eid mubarak. my identity is my father and mother also. thats fine reallity of taking congratulate from mother and kissing sister. either sun soul or moonly weather estimation of rainy season of Eid. Good Luck untill 29th ramadan and far of season summary.
