After 7 months of crappy service I have finally canceled my PTCL Broadband subscription 🙂 Feeling relaxed now!!

After a long time of shooting with Point & Shoot, I finally decided to move to SLR to have more control over photos i capture… After a lot of research I finally ended up with Nikon D40 (with 18-55mm lens) as my first dSLR 🙂

Also bought SB-400 external flash, a tripod, UV Filter and carrying case with it 🙂

Happy New Year everyone!!

2007 changed the lives of many people. It was a difficult year for the whole nation  Lots of things happened during the year which we could not even imagine!

I hope, 2008 will be beneficial for us and pray that this year bring lots of happiness in everyone’s life. Aameen

Upper Kachora, Skardu, Baltistan (Northern Area of Pakistan)

Finally, I’m leaving for Islamabad in 22 hours.. i:e 7:00 in the morning tomorrow. From there we will hopefully be going to Gilgit side. This is for the first time I’m going there.. and I hope it will gonna be a great tour! Due to shortage of time i can’t write much.. so.. Bye 🙂 wish me good luck!

For more than a month period i got busy in shifting home… that not only caused me project delays, i was even not able to read and reply to emails. Now finally i’m 90% set here, just got the internet conection, but my pc is still at old place 🙂 which i will hopefully move tomorrow…

First step would be cleaning my mailbox, second would be avonix 🙂 which is my life.. hehe.. and I hope everything will be back to normal in a week time 🙂

While transferring my old backup, I came across this poem.. written by a friend in 2005.

The sun is setting
my heart is sinking
where are you?
I’ve no clue..
Tears stream down my cheaks
and laugh at my sorrowful eyes
they’ve also abondned me
without even saying Goodbye..!
I think of you..
as i walk down memory lane
why did u leave me alone?
what have u gained?
why did you promise me to always be there?
now i’m waiting for you..
But can’t find you anywhere!
I’m going to die
‘Coz you’ve caused me so much pain
I can’t bare it anymore
‘Coz it’s driving me insane
You said you loved me ..
was that true?
now you’re love is dying
….It’s dying only for you!
Oh, please come back
My heart cries out for you
I’ll always be yours
‘Coz I love you!

It looks like someone hacked geo.tv 🙂 news have been replace by some bad words,

according to an email forwarded to me, it happened today morning at around 8:30 to 9:00, and I am still seeing those pages! 🙂

here are the screenshots:

After few days of searching, searching and searching, I was unable to find a good wordpress theme..
Everything looked weired, many of them were nice but not what i was looking for. So, finally i decided to come up with something myself, took few hours off my routine work, and here is the result.

Though its not perfectly perfect 😉 and look like a rough theme (just because i didn’t put enough time), I have a lot of other things to put on this site. And i think it will at least keep me happy till I decide to design something else 🙂

This is the first time in my life I’m so ignorant of cricket world..
For the whole series i was unaware of whats going on, who is playing, and who won! I lost my interest after Pakistan’s exit. But I didn’t want Australia to win 🙁 they play a real mind-game, control pressure superbly, and even divert stress to the opposition at times.

The cup has once again stolen by Aussies! Will someone ever beat their rankings? at first i thought Ireland would do that in a year time, hahaha.. but it seems like Aussies have got “Jadu ka Chiragh” that never let them lose.

Put everything at one place, and talk about Pakistan? I’m sick of these tyrants ruling PCB, i don’t know what the hell they are going to do now.. the team is destroyed completely, they need to rebuild it from the scratch, but not like they did in 2003. I strongly believe that Pakistan is better than Australia, the only difference is that Aussies are taught to handle complex situations and play under pressure, their minds are so strong that they can’t even think of being beaten. We need to do the same, setup proper institutes and teach players how to control stress……….. *don’t wanna lose my temper*
All these discussion is useless, unless they think seriously about it… I can only hope for good, and pray for them, it will indirectly benefit me 🙂 how? will disclose later 😉
