A 10 Year Old girl from Pakistan has become the youngest Microsoft Certified Professional.
Read the complete article, she met up with Bill Gates and asked him some good questions.
Way to go Arfa Karim Randhawa and all the young geeks.

I don’t understand if you mentioned this article just because you, like Advani, have roots in Pakistan or is it just because of the Mughal Colonial hangover..I don’t understand why an Indian guy (if you permit me to say so) would be so pleased…sorry, if I sound rude but I fail to undestand this obsession with Pakistan after seeing what they have done in London, Egypt (not that Kashmir should go unnoticed)

Its not an obsession with Pakistan. But when you see something nice happening there, can’t help but take notice. Whats wrong if a little girl who has nothing to do with terrorism has done well? When people don’t have employment, it leads to frustration and then people get inclined towards other activies such as terrorism
An empty mind is a devils workshop.. if people are doing well in noble fields such as technology they won’t be inclined towards other activies.

Vineet, your point of view is well taken. But thats where we “Indian guys” (to borrow your term) strive to be different.
As world citizens and offsprings of the new economic order, we learn to appreciate (and learn from) excellence wherever it occurs and in whichever form it occurs.
