About Me

18-May-2009

I have been through a thing or two in life, and have always wanted to share whatever I know, with the world.  I’m on a never-ending journey of self-improvement and growth.  I also want to understand at least try doing everything that I lazily can, needless to say I don’t like to needlessly inconvenience myself.  I’m a strong believe that nature chooses few to educate and elevate in life, and if you’re one of the lucky ones then you must do more than you could have done if it hadn’t been you.  I also believein signs.  I believe nature has many options, and you’re just one of them.  If she wants to give you a chance, she will show you the signs and prod you in a certain direction.  This prodding comes with discomfort, pain, and misery.  It comes at the price of having to leave your comfort zone.   Growth and progress comes to those who see the signs, react to the prodding, and are willing to expand their comfort zones.  If you don’t, then nature always has other choices, like the say, opportunity knocks once.

For those who don’t know me, I’m a Pakistani down to the core, and have made my birthplace, Karachi, my home. Born on 16-August-1964, I was educated to be an Electrical Engineer (class of 1985), but today I’m anything but that.  I started my professional career in the family business called Emzed Engineering which has been involved in electrical equipment since before I was born, but that was not me.  I had to try something on my own, and thus I got onto the I.T. bandwagon in 1996.  I had to become a DIY programmer and did actually write a lot of code in the early years.  However, nature did some “prodding” in 2006, and steered me towards the rapidly evolving media industry, with which I have been associated ever since.

I also belive that life is about more than just getting married, reproducing , and earning a living.  The line “What man is a man that doesn’t change for the better the world he lives in?” from the movie Kingdom of Heaven (said by Balian of Ibelin), is the core of my life philosophy.  This pursuit of change has kept me involved in many things including, Jaycees, Mensa, Loose Ends Pakistan, and now “People’s Action Movement” and “One Pakistan One Nation”.
