Is Sapphire The New Black?

zubim — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 09:38:03 +0000

You wouldn’t think that this would be the time to launch a luxury credit card but JPMorgan Chase & Co. has come out with a new card, Chase Sapphire, which is aimed at the affluent. Bloomberg News reports that Chase Sapphire is for households with incomes exceeding $120,000. The new card has no pre-set spending limit and holders earn a point for every dollar they spend.

There are two Chase Sapphire cards. The basic card offers the Ultimate Rewards program that includes double points on airfare purchased through the company’s travel booking tool and up to ten bonus points per dollar for shopping at any of the over 300 merchants featured at the Ultimate Rewards Mall. The Preferred card also includes a 25 percent travel bonus that means points are 25 percent more valuable when booked online with the travel booking tool. Preferred card members will receive 10,000 bonus points on purchases of $50,000 or more per year. The cards also offer concierge service and emergency services for travelers. The Chase Sapphire has no annual fee and the Chase Preferred has a fee of $95 after the first year. Chase Sapphire has a 10.24 percent variable interest rate and a $39 late fee for balances over $250.

The Sapphire card is meant to compete against American Express and its many programs for affluent cardholders. The Bloomberg article states that American Express CEO Kenneth Chenault told investors recently that his cardholders on average spend 3.5 times more than Visa cardholders and 4.5 times more than MasterCard users. The Sapphire’s points and rewards program are meant to appeal to those who use their cards frequently. Will it work? American Express’s cardholders are pretty loyal to the brand. But with American Express raising fees and rates being able to switch to a new card with no annual fee might be appealing.

14 August Comming up Soon…Who Created Pakistan?

zubim — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 19:52:38 +0000

14 August Comming up Soon!!

he British Parliament passed the Indian Independence Act on July 18, 1947. The Act created two dominions, Indian Union and Pakistan. It also provided for the complete end of British control over Indian affairs from August 15, 1947. The Muslims of the Sub-continent had finally achieved their goal to have an independent state for themselves, but only after a long and relentless struggle under the single-minded guidance of the Quaid.

The Muslims faced a gamut of problems immediately after independence. However, keeping true to their traditions, they overcame them after a while. Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was appointed the first Governor General of Pakistan and Liaquat Ali Khan became its first Prime Minister. Pakistan became a dominion within the British Commonwealth of Nations.

The boundaries of Pakistan emerged on the map of the world in 1947. This was accomplished on the basis of the Two-Nation Theory. This theory held that there were two nations, Hindus and Muslims living in the territory of the Sub-continent. Sir Syed Ahmad Khan was the first exponent of the Two-Nation Theory in the modern era. He believed that India was a continent and not a country, and that among the vast population of different races and different creeds, Hindus and Muslims were the two major nations on the basis of nationality, religion, way-of-life, customs, traditions, culture and historical conditions.

The politicization of the Muslim community came about as a consequence of three developments:

1. Various efforts towards Islamic reform and revival during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

2. The impact of Hindu-based nationalism.

3. The democratization of the government of British India.

While the antecedents of Muslim nationalism in India go back to the early Islamic conquests of the Sub-continent, organizationally it stems from the demands presented by the Simla Deputation to Lord Minto, the Governor General of India, in October 1906, proposing separate electorates for the Indian Muslims. The principal reason behind this demand was the maintenance of a separate identity of the Muslim nationhood.

In the same year, the founding of the All India Muslim League, a separate political organization for Muslims, elucidated the fact that the Muslims of India had lost trust in the Hindu-dominated Indian National Congress. Besides being a Hindu-dominated body, the Congress leaders in order to win grass-root support for their political movements, used Hindu religious symbols and slogans, thereby arousing Muslim suspicions regarding the secular character of the Congress.

Events like the Urdu-Hindi controversy (1867), the partition of Bengal (1905), and Hindu revivalism, set the two nations, the Hindus and the Muslims, further apart. Re-annulment of the partition of Bengal in 1911 by the British government brought the Congress and the Muslim League on one platform. Starting with the constitutional cooperation in the Lucknow Pact (1916), they launched the Non-Cooperation and Khilafat Movements to press upon the British government the demand for constitutional reforms in India in the post-World War I era.

But after the collapse of the Khilafat Movement, Hindu-Muslim antagonism was revived once again. The Muslim League rejected the proposals forwarded by the Nehru Report and they chose a separate path for themselves. The idea of a separate homeland for the Muslims of Northern India as proposed by Allama Iqbal in his famous Allahabad Address showed that the creation of two separate states for the Muslims and Hindus was the only solution. The idea was reiterated during the Sindh provincial meeting of the League, and finally adopted as the official League position in the Lahore Declaration of March 23, 1940.

Thus these historical, cultural, religious and social differences between the two nations accelerated the pace of political developments, finally leading to the division of British India into two separate, independent states, Pakistan and India, on August 14 & 15, 1947, respectively.

The British Parliament passed the Indian Independence Act on July 18, 1947. The Act created two dominions, Indian Union and Pakistan. It also provided for the complete end of British control over Indian affairs from August 15, 1947.

Glamour Back in Fashion at Miami Swimsuit Shows

zubim — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 22:38:47 +0000

At Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Miami designers just showed the latest looks in swimwear for Spring 2010. “Old glamour is back in a big way” declared the Miami Herald of the numerous collections on display at the chic Raleigh Hotel in South Beach. Check out the video above for some highlights – you’ll enjoy it even if you can’t wear any of the suits yourself. Other trends of note to emerge from the round of eye-popping events, according to the Herald: hot pink is in, ditto transparent material; as for shape it was “all about the bandeau and the monokini (attached bikini) or cutout one-pieces,” while high-waisted and ruffled looks made a splash as well. Many of the suits were “sexy in a feminine way – not overtly flashing a lot of skin.” Oh well.

People ask me about Pakistan….

Critically acclaimed documentary on Pakistan Made in Pakistan

The documentary follows the lives of four Pakistani individuals who defy this prevailing stereotype of the country. They are working professionals – two Women Entrepreneurs, a Politician and a Lawyer. These four individuals represent a multifaceted Pakistan – a country where politics, fashion, religion, debate and tradition intermingle – where one definition of an Islamic State no longer holds true.

This documentary will really show you what Pakistan is. The documentary is yett another great production from Indus Valley Productions headed by Ayesha Khan
