What am I up to?

1 Comment    [ Posted in Personal ]

As usual, I don’t actively write anything here even after promising multiple times. Just to give a glance on what am i doing these days, I just summarized my schedules and on-going activities.

Studies
Went through the toughest semester at IU, finished it up with 3.3 GPA at last. New semester has just started yesterday.

Travel
I have not been able to go anywhere for past couple of months. Its been a long time since i saw the beach!

Photography
Don’t ask! Shot few photos at cousin’s wedding last week. I can’t find myself enough time to test my new D90 thoroughly. Might plan a trip coming sunday :)

Work
Oh, I never mentioned, my latest project is Zaiqa.com, which is passing through a tough emergence period. The site covers daily Pakistani Recipes aired on Geo TV, Masala TV, and ARY Zauq.
For past couple of hours, I have been trying to integrate current user database and login system with vBulletin 4, which is quite a headache, and unexpectedly driving me crazy with little, complicated, Fatal errors.

Future Plans
Since Blockstatus.com is declining, and I don’t see any growth opportunity, I’m trying to divert its current visitors to a related, new website, which could at least help me cover server expenses and other projects development and marketing cost.

Blood and Tears by Qutubuddin Aziz

Blood and Tears by Qutubuddin Aziz
The book “Blood and Tears” by Qutubuddin Aziz is a must read for all Pakistanis. It is based on the crimes committed by Indian-trained Mukti Bahini on the people of East-Pakistan in 1971.

Zaid Hamid suggested every Pakistani to read this book in his recent War-1971 program, and uploaded at the Brasstacks website as well. It can also be downloaded from HERE

Got the Nikon D90 finally

Nikon D90

After waiting almost a year, finally got the slightly used Nikon D90 with 18-105mm lens today.

Personally i do not like 18-105mm for its high barrel distortion. 16-85mm can be an ideal lens, but cost Rs.50,000+ :(
