There is a big difference between reality and the perception created by a one dimensional and at times mis-informed media. Thank you for the very heart warming post and here's hoping you get to visit our beautiful country again!
Thank you very much Rishi for scuh a nice and optimistic post. It was indeed very nice meeting you and enjoying your highly impressive presentation in marketing 2.0.
Things that make Karachi and Pakistan standout...the list is long...Irfan and Badar to name a few :)
looking forwat=rd to your next visit to pakistan...
I was invited at the event and was impressed with the range of ideas presented there. More importantly, I liked the way Mr. Rishi talked about global platform and the role of google network in our modern world. In fact, I think Rishi gave out the best speech that afternoon and I remember him because of his fluid style.
Thank you very much for coming to Pakistan. I hope you enjoyed the trip very much.
Attending CIO launch event and listening to worthy people like Salman Ansari, Rishi and Dilawar Abbas was thought provoking and enlightening. I especially would like to thank Rishi for his obervations. I have higher hopes for the world and its people when I see there are people like Rishi who are open minded and open hearted with a sincere and positive outlook of the world and its people.
Just hope that more people like Rishi has a chance to visit Pakistan and see the country and its people first hand rather than through a colored lens before making any judgement.
I also hope talented people of Pakistan have a fair chance to contribute to a better tomorrow, for the people of the world.
Hi Rishi, It is good to see that Google has discovered the potential that exists in Pakistan. As you saw for yourself, there is a lot of passion and innovation taking place in the ICT sector in this country.
It was good to meet you. I am sorry we did not have more time together. We at P@SHA look forward to working with Badar, you and all the wonderful people at Google.
Do come back. You haven't seen anything yet!

I hope you found the bloggers meet-up conducive. Internet censorship is a very real issue for us and we hope that google will continue to have a positive influence in this area.
Thank you so much for such a positive outlook of your Pakistan visit. It was our honour to have you as our guest speaker and we would love to have you regularly. You just need to tell us when....
Very happy to read your observations about Pakistan. In the world of Cyber Space we all need to work together for making it safe. I sincerely believe that now further progress on earth is largely linked with optimum use of latest technologies by all. For this we would have to make joint efforts to eliminate the digital divide. Looking forward to have more exciting discussions with you soon.
An an entrepreneur, I'm happy to discover and work with some brilliant and innovative minds in Pakistan. With Google as competition for talent...it would be tougher, if not impossible, to have the best people working with us...
