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.

I was happily shopping for some sneakers in the market with H-N in Saddar, when suddenly out of no where comes a man and tells the shop keeper ‘Do you know anything about the Marshal law?’ before the shop keeper even said a word I asked him ‘What marshal law ? where?’, ‘In Pakistan janab, Pakistan is back in trouble’, thats what he said !

My first impression was that either this guy is an idiot for no reason, or there are some stupid rumors going around, as soon as I reach home, my mom tells me the same thing, now this gets me a little curious, TV ain’t working.damn !

I go online, and since H-N is with me, he looks a little online and searches for some clues (he was much more concerned, he has gigs lined up !), so any how, Yes Pakistan has Marshal law, yet again ! I hope this goes away soon, and we come out of this emergency situation, this basically sucks !

I’ve never really cared much about politics, and I’ve never been on either sides of Bush-Mush bashing ! But such happening did raise my eyebrow ! I m not a supporter of any political group, nor do I enjoy political talks, but this my friends is just too much !

Please let us live normal lives, and it’s a call from one idiot Pakistani to not only the president, but to all the people, who make world a bad place to live ! ‘Live and let live !’ God bless this world, and the people of this world ! Ameen.

Excerpt from Dawn news :

ISLAMABAD, Nov 3: President General Pervez Musharraf, in his capacity as the chief of army staff, on Saturday declared emergency rule in the country, suspended the country’s constitution, and issued a new Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO).

---

This is the second time in General Musharraf’s tenure that an emergency rule has been imposed, and PCO issued. First it was at the time when the military seized power on October 12, 1999. This time it was when President Musharraf had already ruled the country for eight long years, and was faced with a situation where there was a strong possibility that the Supreme Court may rule against his move to get himself elected for the second time as the head of the state.

Excerpt from The News (Message from Pentagon) :

WASHINGTON: The Pentagon said Gen. Pervez Musharraf’s declaration of state of emergency in Pakistan does not affect U.S. military support, a spokesman said.

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates is monitoring the fast-developing situation, Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said.

Oh God, please save Pakistan, from the evils of this world !

Update : I just got to hear a bit of his address, makes much more sense than I thought it would !
