First of all, I’d like to say Ramadan Mubarak to all of you.

Now I’d like to tell about the greatest beach experience I’ve had. Yes I was with some of my friends at the beach, and not just any beach, it was the most clean beach I had ever seen in and around Karachi, the only reason was that not everyone one goes there, and it’s a fishermen’s area, they fish around that place, and they have their own village there.

So any how, it has mountains around too, the best thing, is we went on to explore both, and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.. true relaxation.. also got to check out fishes right around my feet.. Check out the pictures, and decide for yourself.

4. I cherish the friends I have.. and I hate some of them for fun
5. I m jealous I m Zair’s coding skills I envy him.

7. I panic, like everyone does, sometimes when there’s no need to, but sometimes I might not panic, and it looks different
8. My relationship with M lady is about 7 years old now

A couple of folks at my work place might know this, and alot of my relatives and friends do too. My dad is not well, and had a mild paralysis attack this last Tuesday, two days before the independence day.

Here’s what happened.

We are assuming this Attack was in the morning, since he seemed to have remembered, he had some sort of jerking movement in the morning at around 6, when we all had left the house, or work and school, but since we usually don’t talk in the morning, and just walk our ways, he didn’t notice he had a paralysis attack, he went to the toilet, and returned to bed.. He’s usually up by 7:30.. Some guy had come over at around 8, and dad attended him, but could not speak, his first thought was that he was low on sugar, so he made tea and added around 3 teaspoons of sugar, soon his friend had called for some work, but as he noticed that dad was not in a good condition he rushed to the house, only to find a weaker and ill Farid Khan (my dad), he asked dad to be taken to the hospital, but he refused assuming it might not me somehitng major, and some thing just caused by low sugar, and he lay down.

Around after noon, when mom was home and so was my sister, mom got to know the whole situation and dad was taken to the doctor, where he recieved medicines and a list of tests.. Dad had become a little better since the medicines, but was alot weaker and not in the position to do anything. He wanted to sleep.

Next day I took a day off from office and took dad to the nearest hospital “KIRAN Hospital (Karachi Institute of Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine)” where all the tests were carried out, turned out he had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high sugar, and add to that, he smokes a lot..

The docs advised that he should not be taking oily and greesy foods anymore, and salt intake should be reduced to the minimum, and smokes are a no no…

Leaving long time habbits is a bit task, and a person might get angry and frustrated at that.. Something that I witnessed recently is also this anger.. Though he got the situation..

We had to take him to Liaqat National Hospital for a second opinion, but couldn’t get an appointment, so we’ll go there in the morning tommorrow, but today we went to a different hospital to get the tests again, just a check..

He’s improving and getting better, I hope he’s back to normal soon, regardless of how angry he might get at me, at things that I do sometimes, and regardless of our generation gap, I love him, and he loves me, and thats what matters, I with my family, want to him to be rocking again..

Love you dad.. Get well soon.

Independence day is near, and instead of making some thing very nice on those lines, I’d made up a pretty negative type work !

And why you may ask this is.. Well I m not that bad, I m also going to make one on a positive vibe too, but for now there are too many things to face..

Oh and guess what I m also decorating the design room at my current work place with all sorts of patriotic stuff… so far looks cool.. will upload pics some where soon.

Oh did I forget to mention, Muzzi (aka Soul Maker), has left and infact reached USA now, and is already getting bored.

I m here writing, just a couple of hours after I finally got the courage to say bye bye to my current so awesome job, to join another company for a different experience. As per the policy of this current so damn awesome company I will have to serve yet another month, before I can join the other company.

My new destination will be Trippert Labs, if all goes well, I should be joining it in a month’s time, though I was supposed to join in like 15 days time, but sadly that period has been made into a month.. :S

Any how, I m hoping the ride is going to be funfilled. I’ve already text-spoken to the HR, and the CTO, and they seem pretty nice people.

I know one thing for sure, I m going to miss this place as hell, I seem to have grown with this place, developed and polished myself a lot here. Fallen in love with the entire crew. Raised my standards, and learned alot or principals. Yes thats a good thing, progress is good.

So what now, right ? Well, thinking what to do, right now I haven’t spoken to my family about the resignation, it’s going to be a little bit of shock, but they’ll adjust, though my mom knows about this, almost nothing is hidden from here, but even she wouldn’t be expecting that I’d resign so soon.

Right now I m looking forward for good wishes, and a better carrier/future. Hope I get that.

On the other hand, we have a Teabreak meet up this Sunday, and we even have a Convention of the Creatives on the same day, lets see what happens, the Teabreak event is for bloggers and select folks only, where as the Convention is for everyone. A handful of people will be joining us on the launching event of TeaBreak. I hope it goes around good too… Right now I’ll head out of office with Zair to meet Ammar and Asim to discuss the whole event thing.

Prayers… Love you all.

The new version of Wordpress you know includes the Google gears implementation, in case you folks did not know that, this is one big help, no kidding..

Your writing and managing the blog becomes much more easier, not to mention effecient.

The link at the top right of the admin page in Wordpress, which says ‘Turbo’ is what enables this option. You will need to download and install Google Gears, which is available for Firefox as well as Internet explorer. sweet..

The new other impressive feature is the Pressthis link. Which is much more sophisticated and categorized  to what you want to put online. Surely wordpress has progressed and groomed itself very well.. awesome.

Here check out this video which has a detailed account of the new features of Wordpress 2.6.

Yes this is another random post, just today someone said I should tel people about the inflation in the prices, but hell they already know about it, it’s not somethign they hsould get to know from my blog.

After the release of the new version of my website, I’ve seen some good traffic, and also some good projects coming my way, some of which I had to turn down for a couple of reasons.. Please donot question what reasons.

There’s also some very funny stuff going on between me and Zair, haha I should laugh, it’s an internal joke, that I don’t want everyone to know, and oh since working about work, our asses at work are all jammed for now, so much work, so less time, well thats the nature of this work my friend, that how we roll.. and I m working on a project that’s quite a delicate subject, but very educating, I hope they get a positive and a balanced response.

And then my friends, some of them are crazy pissed at me, and yes I m aware of that, haven’t been able to see some of them in eternity damn. I hope to meet them soon.. And Babrus, the cool digitartist rockstar dude has flown to Dubai. WOW!

Thats all for now.. and oh the new version of wordpress is beteer. yaay.

I’ve also removed justified text from this blog. yaayness.
