Mr. Ali Nawazish of Rawalpindi has broken a world record by passing 23 A-levels in subjects including pure mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and Sociology.
The 18 year old received 21 A grades and a B and a C, and will be a part of the Guinness Book of World Records.
He has opted to study Computer Science at Cambridge University.
He studied at Rawalpindi’s Roots College International. 
“
He appeared in these exams through London’s Ed-Excel and Cambridge International Examinations.
“I set myself no plans and at one point I found myself studying one subject for five minutes before switching to the other and then the next and so on.” The Daily Mail added, “Ali also achieved a top score in the U.S. admissions test and was accepted by most Ivy League institutions, including Harvard and Yale. Apart from core science subjects he is self taught. He studied for up to 12 hours a day, using energy drinks to help concentrate.”
Pakistan has been marred by bad economic and political news. It is therefore a welcome change when one hears of something so positive about Pakistan. It shows that our country has the potential of competing at the highest if we put our minds to it.
Congratulations Ali! You’ve done all of us proud and may your example inspire Pakistanis, both and abroad, to excel in every field and bring more laurels to Pakistan. As a wise man once said: a nation is true potential is not judged by its sword but the pen of its scholar.
Pakistan Zindabad!

Dear Kalsoom
We have comments moderation on – this is why your comment has appeared a little late. We have corrected the post above. In general we are careful with sources/references – as you will note from this blog-zine.
Thanks for alerting us.
Actually Raza this might not be your fault … http://hotelmohenjodaro.blogspot.com is to blame for this … they hadn’t put up a source. HotelMohenjodaro has rectified the issue now.
Dear Kalsoom,
This post has been linked since your first post.
It was my fault that I had put up your article on my blog hotelmohenjodaro without crediting you. I have rectified aand Raza rectified the mistake here before you.
I am not sure what you want. Your post has been approved and you’ve been linked since Friday atleast.
The Entry has been edited extensively and now Kalsoom can rest assure her blog is not being “plagiarized”.
Yasser-
I don’t “want” anything – I made you aware of the issue and you fixed it, that’s all I cared about. I don’t think I was being ridiculous in my request – I think it is ethically wrong to take someone’s work without crediting them, regardless if my work is copyrighted or not. We are all part of the same Pakistani blog community, so I think we need to support each other’s thoughts and ideas. Anyway, no bad blood on my end – thanks for rectifying the problem.
Very Nicely Done!
Proud to be a Pakistani
