From customs to language, we have excessively borrowed from India, being centuries old neighbours, so I was just wondering if there is anything that we could lend our neighbours too? Have they also adopted anything from us or it is only we who are just too quick to get impressed? Maybe someone can enlighten me on that here

What have we borrowed from India, apart from Lollywood?

So much. Our wedding ceremonies are more than inspired from the hindu culture, take example of red bridal dress, mehndi/ ubtan celebrations. Then our language; words like lakh pati and many many more.

Maybe because the majority of Pakistanis are essentially Indian both by blood and history. Most Pakistanis are persianized Indians, so how can you expect some type of drastic shift away from Indian culture?

I'm sure Pakistani music has made an impact on our Eastern neighbor. Food is another area where Pakistan has made an impact.

It's safe to assume Blizzard has some big deals on its slate of unannounced projects, but new filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office suggest one of them is particularly dire. Game industry sleuthing site superannuation today unearthed a trio of Blizzard applications filed last Friday, each covering various uses of the word "Cataclysm." One filing covers the use of the term as it relates to computer games and mouse pads. The second seeks to lock up the name for use in entertainment services (specifically online games), and the third covers a wide range of ancillary uses, including comics, strategy guides, coloring books, stickers, greeting cards, manuals, and art prints. While the "Cataclysm"--a violent upheaval or tremendous flood--could fit within Blizzard's key franchises like Diablo or Warcraft, it could also be tied up with a fresh property. In May, the developer confirmed that its long-awaited massively multiplayer online role-playing game follow-up to World of Warcraft will be based on a new intellectual property. While the trademark filings give away the fact that Blizzard has designs for the term, they do little else. It's not uncommon for trademarks to go unrealized, as was the case with previous filings like Activision's Guitar Villain or Blizzard's own Diablo II: Salvation. When asked for comment, a Blizzard representative told GameSpot, "We appreciate the interest, but we don’t have any details to share at this time."Wow Gold,replica watches,rolex watches,Buy WOW Gold
