It’s been quite some time when it was a visual upgrade for this blog, and it’s quite that time again that it gets a new coat of paint. I believe that even though everyone’s getting newer and faster internet connection, this blogs should load faster and smoother than it does now, so I’ve decided that when the new version launches these things are taken care of.

A few things that were also on my mind if that there should be no sidebar, and the main focus should be the blog, though technically there will be a sidebar, but visually you might not consider it one, which is quite my objective.

I’ve also taken care that things do not cut of like they mostly do when you open a single blog post, specially if there are no comments. I m also going to focus on one single blog post on the main page, so that only the most recent comes to you first, and if you choose you can browse for older written stuff as and when you wish for it.

I’ve pretty much completed the design and it’s like a 100% change from what it looks like right now.

Let’s hope it goes around well, and works on all browsers, Amen.

Incase you’re going to question the random map on the above image, that is the percentage of poverty in the world right now, as can be shown on the left.

As for the issue of poverty in general. We usually take things for granted, think about our own problems and consider them very big, take a look at the corporate mess for example, you’ll see everyone wants a piece of a pie, but no one wants to pay for it. It’s a normal yet not normal way of thinking.

Take a look at the nature, we’ve eaten it up, without thining about the consequences, we are the selfish beings we thought we are not. yet we stand at a global problem, where food and resources are getting scarce ay by day, and not so slowly humans are dying of hunger, and rot on the land.

What would you say ? If you were one of them ? I honestly wouldn’t say much, because not many would listen, regardless how hard I screamed for help, only a few gifted people on the planet actually take the iniitative to help others.

On this day, I would like to use this oppurtunity to urge people that please for god sake consider what we do, and act, and how we waste the resoueces, we could instead send that to those who need it most. The medicines, food supplies, clothing and what not. We know many people don’t live in a house, simply because they cannot afford it, so they live directly under the sun and the moon. Without shelter, few pieces of cloth, no food and very little drinkable water, the life of one becomes very pathetic. So please, please think about how we can help those who need our support the most. This world is our mother, and the humans are it’s children, that makes the poor our rothers and sisters, and humans look after each other, specially the loved ones, it’s time that we help our brothers and sisters who need us.

Recently, my website and blog both had been facing downtime, and it wasn’t due to some tech issue, it was actually my negligence, yes I was the one to blame..

I had received a couple of emails of notifications that my domain will soon expire if I do not renew it at the earliest, and I was way caught up with work right those times, so finally my buddy Hassaan comes online, “Your blog ain’t F**KIN workin !”  and I m like, what the hell how can that be.. I rush to my inbox and check the expiry dates.. Voila there you have it, the domain expired, and it’s going to be just a month before my hosting expires too.. I visit the bank early morning to pay for the hosting and email the receipt to the hosting asking them to renew my account/domain.. phew… I m back online.

Anyhow, one lesson learned, I should blog more to know my blog ain’t opening.. or is opening happily !

What else you may ask right ? I’ve been going out now a days and staying and spending some time out of my room, to get a good amount of freshness back into my life.. I needed a break I m getting one.. which is good. I was near the sea yesterday morning, and it was fun. Then some working bits dropped on my head, so I had to deal with that work. I m done with it too..

I think I should do something else right now… Bad way to end a post.. I know..

The good things first..

My blog was listed in the 100 inspirational blog designs, which got me do a little wowing

Also, it’s was also the 5th birthday of Wordpress… YAAAY !

Ok, so thats about the end of todays good part

As I said it’s been a random day, total random day ! I hadn’t really slept well then again, when do I ever ?, any how, I hadn’t slept well, and then this shit load of work, well it wasn’t that much, but since i was way sleepy, it seemed like it, but I completed it, which is a little achievement for my inner brat And oh boy, alot of systems at our work place got infected with some crappy chinese virus haha !

But most of the systems are now clean, and those that had the issues weren’t major machines, except a couple of them, which means we probably will get a dedicated server for the design team soon, hopefully. Thank goodness my computer was still safe, otherwise things would have been much more bizarre, in the wrong direction.

We also had a little design team meeting today, which was god, and nice one, and guess what, I’ll be leading the next one, not really a very interesting thing really, specially since I m going to be doing it, not much is going to come out of it

Oh and boy, I got late coming home too, missed my office van, and took ages to grab a cab, and then the long route..Woah.. nevermind.

Teabreak is growing, and moving steady, in the right direction, which is definitely a very good thing.

It has a good number of people signing up each day, and more blogs get added and a whole big number of blog posts aggregated every single day.

It’s also a very heavy site, which is good, heavy things stand the competetion longer than the rest

Any how, this post was meant to bring attention to all the folks that there now is a facebook’s teabreak fan page, if you’re on facebook, and you like the rich addition teabreak brings to your blog or webspace, and you think you can return us a small favour, join that fan club

See you all at the fan club, and oh get the discussions started

It’s the week end again, Well, welcome the week end

It’s been a not so hectic week really, I m not really staying late at work the way I used to, and it’s part of the streamlining process we’ve started, I mean our dev/design team, which actually needs us to come on time, leave on time, and that the work be finished on time.

Any how, on the other hand, I m talking teabreak and more teabreaks, so yeah, the design is almost done, lets hope the rest of the things turn out cool too, Inshallah.

I m supposed to have meeting tommorrow with the tea break gang, lets see whats happens…

Life’s good any how and I m dying to get a laptop now..

Yes, I know it’s been some time, since I appreciated life, but any ways, better late then never…

I m having some good times at work and otherwise, I m considering buying another .net address specially for the blog, interesting isn’t? I think it is !

And since work has been challenging at work, that’s one reason why it’s fun. There’s no fun without challenges. Though one thing that I found out, is that one of my friends has broken up with their former better halves :P, yes it’s sad, but also good for them, and the other sad part is that one of our managers at work, broke one of their fingers. ouch.

Then one of my friends has got another pair of fun lives, yes he’s got twin sisters. That’s nice.

Also, I’d like to thank Asim Imtiaz from my work place, for making my life a little easier with all the tech stuff.. check him out on his website. He’s one funky fella !

It’s been ages since I last blogged, and the most sincere (and probably also the lamest) excuse I can give right now is that I dont have an internet connection at home and I dont blog from my work place, but since I had a little time I thought I should today, maybe that’ll also make some people happy.

Any how, I’m having some really good days now, I attended H-N’s Gig, which went pretty good, except for some little things, and he’s too happy about it too, and then I have a new blogger friend, I dont know much about her though !

On the other hand, my work is going awesome and I m loving every moment I spent at my work place, secondly I got all my official letters yesterday, which makes me feel to give everyone a treat… but you know I m just kiddin

Any how I m going to be writing a review for H-n’s gig next !

Life’s being merciful, and sometimes it hits back hard !

I was supposed to meet someone after quite some time, and I was really looking forward for it ! Then it turns out, that may and may not happen, things turned from being confirmed to fluctuated It’s kind of the same thing that happened with Gunaah’s Jam session, but this was something different ! I feel very odd right now ! no kidding !

On the other hand, I have my best pal sitting with me, cheering me up ! I m blessed, or so I feel like one, for having a friend like him ! Yes my best friend is a guy, and that’s not a bad thing !

I got a nice desk lamp, in blue, and that looks awesome, my work place looks much better !

The other good things is, we finally decided to do Asim’s bro’s project, that had been hanging for a while, but now, maybe, it’s see the light of the day !

I m also so damn happy that Asim’s to blogging now, so he’s less in a bad mood ! In fact I like going out all the time now too, but I rarely get the time, but that’s not necessarily bad

Then we may have a Gunaah’s birthday bash Gig next month, which is good !

One thing that bought a big happy smile on my face, is this blog entry by MB.

On the work side of things, I may and may not be working with Zindagi Trust for another project
