One of the oldest mosques in Rawalpindi city, one Markazi Jamia Masjid at Jamia Masjid road is a true architectural wonder. The building has been embellished with intricate tile work and detailed frescos in vibrant colours which have stood the test of time.
According to historian Shiraz Haider, The mosque was built in 1903, just outside the old city of Rawalpindi, at Circular road. That portion of road is now known as Jamia Masjid road due to the mosque.
Muslims of the city provided the donation to build the mosque. Residents Qazi Gohar Ali, Mian Nabi Bakhsh and Mian Qutbuddin played a major role in contraction of the mosque, said Shiraz Haider.
Molana Muhammad Kech Makrani, father of renowned folk artist Afzal Pervez was appointed as the first Khateeb of the mosque after its completion. The fresco artwork on the interior walls was done by Ghulam Nabi Kamil.
The Jamia Masjid presents a panoramic view with only one entrance from Eastern side and central courtyard in front. The Mosque has three domes and several small minarets. It is one of the few mosques in the Pothohar region which replicated traditional Mughal architecture.
The mosque is a continuation of a centuries old tradition, Dr. Ghafer Shahzad, an architect and architecture writer told Dawn.
According to Ghafer Shazad the facade of the mosque is a multiplicity of a basic design element the arch. While the mosque has been decorated with traditional fresco but the materials, colours and techniques used are not traditional. This reflects the development of a local tradition in architecture and aesthetic expression. The domes are not as large they are in traditional Mughal mosque design but the odd number of arches and domes are inspired by Mughal style.

An aerosol can exploded and one person suffered minor burns in a small flash fire at a northwest valley senior apartment complex Friday evening, fire officials said.
Las Vegas Fire and Rescue officials received a report at 5:22 p.m. of an activated sprinkler system at the Decatur Pines Senior Apartments at 6741 N. Decatur Blvd., located near Deer Springs Way, spokesman Tim Szymanski said.
One person suffered minor burns and was transported to University Medical Center, he said.
The fire was extinguished by sprinklers, and fire crews cleaned up the scene, he said.
Someone was using a leaking aerosol can and lit a candle in a bathroom, starting a fire that lasted only about one second, the department said.
The sprinkler system was activated, and water from the sprinklers seeped into other apartments, causing electrical issues, Szymanski said.
The American Red Cross of Southern Nevada is aiding eight people displaced by the fire, he said.

Grief-stricken former colleagues of Stuart Scott spent Sunday remembering the popular ESPN anchor, who succumbed to cancer at the age of 49. Good Morning America host Robin Roberts had a special connection to Scott not only did she work with him at the sports network, but she has fought her own battles with cancer.
Roberts put together some thoughts in a poignant Facebook post, in which she recalled Scotts moving speech at last Julys ESPY award show. She posted this photo of herself interviewing Scott that evening:
Here is what Roberts wrote:
As we were about to board our long flight home Amber checked her phone one last time. She pulled us out of the line and all she had to say to me wasStu. The news we were dreading and not at all prepared to hear. Stuart Scott has died.
This picture was taken shortly after Stu was presented the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance at last years ESPYS. He gave a speech that still had me in tears as we chatted backstage. Tears of admiration and profound gratitude. Grateful that this beautiful, strong man was a dear friend. Grateful that he had the strength that night to deliver such a powerful, meaningful message. Admiration for how he valiantly faced cancer..again and again.
As I stared out the window on the flight home tears again streamed down my face. By the time we landed so many had posted wonderful tributes to Stu. President Obama, LeBron James, Tiger Woodsand our ESPN family. Im still struggling to find the words to express my feelings. But then I think of Stus own words at the ESPYS. He was right. You beat cancer by how you LIVE, why you live, and in the manner in which you live.
He closed his speech, with his sweet daughter Sydni by his side on stage, by saying have a great night and a great rest of your life. That was Stu, always thinking of others.
Bless you, my friend, for showing us how to live and how to love. Tonight after I say my prayers and thank the good Lord for Stuart ScottIm going to climb into bedand flip my pillow over to the other side. XO
Here is an ESPN tribute to Scott, narrated by Roberts, that ran on Sunday:
This former editor and part-time writer at The Post is now happy to prove that if you combine 'blowhard' and 'blaggard,' you get 'blogger.' He previously had used 'Desmond Bieler' as his byline, but feels that shortening the first name to 'Des' nicely conveys his ever-decreasing gravitas. He also covers Fantasy Football.

Robin Roberts sheds tears of admiration and profound gratitude for Stuart Scott
Those who would like to maintain that Tony Romo is some sort of "choker" through his career, despite his formidable late-game quarterback rating, and overall performances in December, will have a much tougher time forwarding that tired old story after the Dallas Cowboysrallied to a 24-20 win over the Detroit Lions to wrap up the NFL's wild-card round.
Romo had a rough first half, to be sure. The Cowboys trailed 17-7 at halftime, and that became a 20-7 deficit halfway through the 3rd quarter. He was off on several targets, frequently underthrew open receivers, and had issues holding the ball too long even late in the game. But he forged a comeback win against Detroit's outstanding defense with limited participation from his star teammates. Running back DeMarco Murray had 75 catches and a touchdown on 19 carries, and Dez Bryant caught just three passes for 48 yards. But Romo threw two touchdown passes to receiver Terrance Williams, and managed to transcend an offensive line that had a great deal of difficulty adjusting to Detroit's well-timed blitzes.
Super Bowl XLIX predictions|Latest NFL coaching rumors and buzz
"More than anything, it's trying to keep your poise," Romo said after the game of facing a Lions defense that pressured him ceaselessly. "That was the best defense we played all year by far, and they deserve a lot of credit -- they played awesome today."
As for the Lions, they'll spend the offseason wondering how they squandered a big lead to a team that went 4-4 at home in the regular season.
Some other quick thoughts:
1. Dallas' defense did its job
The narrative for the Cowboys' defense all season was pretty simple: outside of lineman Henry Melton (who was out of this game with an injury) and cornerback Brandon Carr (who has underperformed through most of the season), it's been a unit brilliantly coached by Rod Marinelli, and if you kept it on the field, you would wear it out. That seemed to be true in the first half, when the Lions beat the Cowboys 17:57 to 12:03 in time of possession, and Detroit held that 13-point lead in the third quarter. But as the game went on, the Cowboys stuck to their spacing concepts, got enough pressure on Matthew Stafford, and were helped by a couple of interesting calls (more on that in a minute). Yes, Detroit's defense was impressive for the most part, but it was Dallas' undermanned and seemingly unimpressive defense that stuck through adversity, as it has all season, and helped take the Cowboys to victory.
2. The good Matthew Stafford showed up... but it wasn't enough
3. Defensive pass interference needs to be reviewable

More than two dozen homes have been destroyed as South Australias worst bushfires since the 1983 Ash Wednesday blaze continue to rage in the Adelaide Hills, with dangerous weather conditions forecast for the next two days.
The weekends firestorm eased slightly on Monday, but the South Australian premier, Jay Weatherill, said 11 live fires were still burning and sudden flare-ups and falling trees presented a very clear danger.
We know we are in a dangerous phase when people are getting fatigued, people have a false sense of security because it appears the worst is over, he said. Weve got a bit of a way to go until we can relax.
He said 26 homes and 41 outbuildings had been destroyed in the past four days, but that number was expected to climb as authorities accessed burnt-out areas.
Fire has burnt through more than 12,500 hectares of the state since Friday, the most serious blaze in the Sampson Flat area, in the Mount Lofty Ranges about 38km north-west of Adelaide. More than 1100 properties lie in the fire-affected areas.
More than 700 firefighters, aided by 10 water-bombing aircraft, have battled the flames, with reinforcements from New South Wales and Victoria due to arrive within the next 24 hours.
Strong winds forecast for Monday evening are causing concern, while firefighters work to strengthen containment lines ahead of temperatures in the high 30s forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday.
A total of 29 people had been hospitalised, including one suffering a serious asthma attack. Dozen of animals also perished in the inferno, which tore through a boarding kennel and cattery at the weekend and continues to threaten wildlife sanctuaries in the Adelaide Hills.
The cause of the fire remains unknown, but the South Australian police commissioner, Gary Burns, said an incinerator on a Sampson Flat property was the likely source.

An academic researcher who contributed significantly to the growth of the Mens Shed movement in Australia where it all began has admitted to being highly impressed by the growth of the organisation in Ireland.
The remarkable growth of the movement in Ireland in the past five years has been such that we now have more outlets per head of population than Australia, the country which came up with the idea in the mid-1990s to improve the overall health of its males.
There are 1,200 sheds Down Under compared to 230 in Ireland, according to George Kelly, chairman of the Irish Mens Sheds Association.
Apart from an obvious need for places to which men with time on their hands could go, he said, co-operation between individual sheds was important. Theres a great support network throughout Ireland, Mr Kelly said.
While each shed is an independent entity, they network with each other, help with problem-solving, and share experiences.
Associate professor Barry Golding, patron of the movement in Australia, recently visited Ireland and noted that sheds here differ markedly from others internationally because of their community links.
Sheds in Ireland are already very well networked in contrast to other countries, said Prof Goulding, who who has dedicated much to the shed movement and is renowned internationally among shedders.
An experienced researcher in adult, vocational and community education, he is the author of a NCVER publication, Mens Sheds in Australia: Learning through community contexts, which has been one of the most valuable tools and most common references for those initiating a mens shed project.
He conceded: Ireland has a history of community development which we dont have in Australia. Youve got community agency at grassroots level and its beautiful.
Finding a suitable premises and then paying rent can, however, create difficulties in some areas.
