Yes people, its time to open up the BIG news. I am going to Dubai...
I have found a good job over there and have decided to move to Dubai. I just resigned today from my current workplace and the notice period to serve is a month. So, I should be in Dubai by end of Feb or start or March.
Here I look for heaps of prayers of my fellow bloggers....as its a tough tough situation...to make such a switch...its already a difficult thing to switch jobs and this time its much more than that. Its a change of environment and country...leaving your loved ones here....
I plan to go first and try and settle in and then bring along my wife and kid...
The planning begins...and a new phase in life as well....
Alhumdulillah for this blessing Ya ALLAH!!!
Tagged - 5 Weird Things About Me
So this is my first instance of getting tagged...Here are the five Weird Things About me,
1) I can stay up a whole night playing EA Sports NBA Live ...
2) I have more prettier feet than most women in this world (awww...shucks...)
3) I have changed my cell number 4 times in 3 years...and my mobile phone 5 times in 3 years...and plan to do so again...soon...
4) I have a higher IQ than 95% people in this world....results of a latest recruitment IQ test I went through....recently....(unbelievable for me as well...)
5) I have 10 pair of socks in a rotation policy and I have no idea why...(I think I can do with 3/4)
I guess not a BIG WEIRDO...Even though I dont like the TAGGED game and it sounds pretty lame but ...."I tag everyone who reads this..."

Use of Technology for Umpiring...
I don't know whether umpires are making more mistakes now or its just that the technology available for review is so deep that we as viewers feel that its about time....more Technology steps in for decisions....
The game of cricket has evolved around technology in the last decade or so...with Laptop Coaches entering the game and statistics available more easily....and then the 3rd umpire being used for more and more decisions...it was run outs and stumpings at first and now its gone on to catches...
I think its time it moved to LBWs as well...I know it takes the human factor away from the game but I think its time we take it as real. Its frustrating when you see some critical bad decisions affecting the outcome of the game. There are just too many instances now and the umpires are under constant pressure.
I am not criticizing the umpiring here...they are only human as well and its gruelling pressure with so much cricket being played all around....its just about utilizing technology to improve the game....
I would suggest...LBWs should be able to be referred for INSIDE EDGES....for now and gradually be taken towards actual LBW appeals being sent to the 3rd umpire if thought unsure by the on-field umpires....
There could also be a NO BALL....thing by sensors popular in TENNIS for line faults...I think that should be part of the game as well....even though no balls arent an issue as of now....
There is just too much competition now and technology will make the job easier and more fair to everyone...players, umpires and viewers....as well....

The Most Important Part
Contributed by: Ovais Khan on 9th July 2003 at http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/thepointofview
My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct answer.
When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy." She said, 'No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.'
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer. So this time I told her, 'Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.'
She looked at me and told me, 'You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.'
Then last year, my Grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. Even my father cried. My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, 'Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?'
I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me. 'This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived your life.
For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you was wrong and I have given you an example why. But today is the day you need to learn this important lesson.
She looked down at me as only a mother can. I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, 'My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder'
I asked, 'Is it because it holds up your head?' She replied, 'No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they cry.
Everybody, need a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry on when you need it.'
Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one. It is sympathetic to the pain of others.
Baba's Little Pwincess is a BIG GIRL now...
Happy Birthday to You....Happy Birthday to You.....Happy Birthday Dear Mahnoor....Happy Birthday to you...May you have many more....May you have many more....May you have many more...DEAR...Happy Birthday to you....
Sigh....Mahnoor turned 1 yesterday....I was happy ALL day yesterday...so happy that took a day off from work...oh yeah it was too special a day to waste even a minute at work...
Mom had come along on urgent basis from Sukker....reached in the middle of the night at 3:00am yesterday....and that added more 'SPECIAL' to the day....my baba couldnt make it....just couldnt...sad but thats life ....
Anyway...somehow Mahnoor also knew....its just my feeling or maybe its the truth that she was a bit extra excited with jumping around and a happy mood all around...she even walks a bit also...and was on her feet by herself roaming around the house from morning....Mashallah....Alhumdulillah...
My idea was to send over invitations to DadaDadi and NanaNani....a special card made just for them...saying...'Daak Babu....Daak Babu....Mera Khat lay jao...Dada Dadi...ko Day aao....AAJ MERI GURIYA KEE SALGIRAH HAY!!!' and similiar for Nana Nani....and guess what? We DID sent it....the joys of marrying a graphic designer....my wife made the loveliest of cards and we sent it on the 12th so it reaches in time....I wanted to send it via our traditional post office....and not courier ....to bring out the DAAK BAAABU effect hehhe....
Then we had planned for birthday caps for everyone...they were these long pointed ones....
I also wanted to have CLOWN noses but couldnt manage to find any in time and neither could I get ping-pong balls to colour red....so that idea didnt work...it was only POINTED caps for everyone....including me & my wife...nana nani...5 mamoos....phupo and chachu....and of course Mahnoor herself....
Another special thing were the little CUP CAKES...yes there were cup cakes for everyone with their names on them....other than the birthday cake....
Looking STUPID? Hehehe....Well I ENJOY being the BABA...and thats 'my' CUP CAKE...so that everyone knows...heheh...
We decided to put Mahnoor to sleep during the afternoon so that she could wake up fresh for evening....BAD IDEA...!!! She woke cranky from the middle of her BEAUTY NAP and took a while before coming to a JOYFUL mood....she was looking a cutie....though...but in a CRANKY mood...when she woke up....
It took quite a while before she settled into a small chair and everybody around started singing the birthday jingle...that is when for the first time during the day, I think she realized that this is HER day...a confused look at every KNOWN face with Baba on the side....all singing and clapping...looking at her...and my pwincess realized....she needs to break the ICE and POSE a bit....and that was it....no more CRANKY...she started enjoying the whole THING that was happening....
There was a time in the middle where I thought maybe I should celebrate a birthday once in a few years also....like seriously...CHECK OUT THE GIFTS hehhehe....yes I found the kid in me and posed in front of my DAUGHTER's gifts...
I know its all pinks and girly colours...and they ARE my daughter's gifts but no harm in posing in front of them right? Heheh...
Dont mind looking stupid or kiddish on my baby's birthday....AT ALL...say whatever you want...
Finally, cake time and my baby knew exactly what she needed to do....
and so did I...slobbering cake all over her nose and cheeks....Please dont think she is a messy baby....its the antics of a MESSY BABA Here....We all enjoyed a well-made cake and I am glad the birthday girl liked the cake as well...Doesn't SHE LOOK A DARLING?? By the way this is the first time her pics are online...I was vary of NAZAR all this while...I still AM (TEESRA KALMA HERE EVERYONE...)
All in all...it was an eventful day...I haven't enjoyed a birthday like this for ages....the gifts were all well thought....from educational toys to make-noise toys to battery operated stuff to ....drawing boards, clothes what not....great gifts...I wont lie here....I was more excited than anyone...about the gifts....My wife all NAFAASAT begum...gently pulling off the wrappings while I and Mahnoor tearing off like JUNGLEES....its more fun that way?? Right...? heheh....
The day ended with tiredness from the excitement and activities...and also a bit of sadness for me...as the thoughts of my daughter now being a BIG GIRL...coming...1 year in a jiffy and soon the next ones would follow similarly....sigh...
It was a well-spent day...Alhumdulillah...May Allah grant my daughter all the happiness in the world....AAMEEN!!!

Un, Ill, Dis, Mis, Not Oriented...!!!
Just couldnt think of the correct opposite of Oriented. Still cant...
Anyway thats how I feel lately... just a temporary phase where...there is nothing to do heheh...Its amazing. Just a month or so back I always had this sword of my MS hanging on top. So when I went home...I always watched TV with a sense of 'I should really give my Research some time...' you know feeling apologetic to myself...
And now...after completing everything else...I just go home and dont enjoy watching TV...heheh...its true...since there is no sword hanging on top...and no pressure of something...sometimes One needs that in life....
As for work...I never take it on so hard that I get pressurized. Its a relaxed job also frankly plus I am a great time manager. When I get things done...they stay DONE. Thats an advantage I have.
Anyway, so what is it....UN-Oriented...still cant get it. Maybe I should open MS Word and write 'Oriented' and click SHIFT+F7....not going to do that....This post would lose its...CHARM hehehe....
Just waiting for something and then the ball will get rolling really quickly. I ll go real short on time then. So, should just sit and enjoy a bit. Good times don't last forever.
DAMN!! We humans never get satisfied now do we?
Dis-oriented...arright yeah thats the word I think...There is so much to do....
yet I am not thinking straight...I guess thats how my mind works...I am looking forward to something which is going to happen...but since its dependent on someone else at the moment...I have nothing to do? Well its something like that...maybe I should get out and get some things done which I havent for quite some time...example....umm...BASKETBALL!!!
heheh...yeah...thats right...umm nah..I gave my basketball to my younger brother-in-law...ummm....then what....get a movie...oh yeah Pirates of the Carribean....wanted to see both of the parts together...hmm maybe...I dunno....its just a few days then my Daughter's birthday, then wife's birthday and then our anniversary...and then....the BIG NEWS....not that many days....
Ok so just a few more days of Dis-oriented Agony...Maybe I need to take a vacation or something....nah cant, shouldnt....need to save my annual leave....for encashment...sigh...
Dis-oriented agony it is...for the time being....and I know...I know....
WHAT A DIS-ORIENTEDLY STUPID POST??? Apologies...please apologies...

A FAST-friend's GET Together
It had been so long since some FAST friends had got together in one spot to enjoy a few laughs and memories...life is just so busy it seems. Anyway, I had decided on EID that there is going to be a get-together and its gonna be my place...and so it was...
With invitations sent out via email/sms...it was set 7th Jan 2007, 5:00pm Hi Tea...my place...
I havent got a big place at hand so was only able to invite 25 odd people. 20 were expected only 14 came. Anyway, it was enjoyable to see all of them at one place, hopefully they had a bit of change as well. Unfortunately, it wasnt really a catching-up-on-old-times event which I had imagined it to be. It was more of a whats-up-these-days event....and of course the occasional leg-pulling here and there...
My wife was at her best...with her hunter-beef sandwiches, cholas, brownie cake (yummy!) and the best coffee in the world. Some friends even had a second round of coffee...
The best part of the evening for me was seeing all of my friends grown up a bit...from the last time we met like this at my place....exactly 5 years back on 7th Jan 2002. The last 5 years changed us a lot...and it was showing... There were the same old crude jokes and the squeaky laughter that one of my friend is really famous for... but overall there was hint of maturity (finally) ...heheh...on everyone ....
We all have moved on in our lives...and though there is a definite missing of the old days some where...I think there is more happiness than sorrow and hopefully no regret...none for me at least....Alhumdulillah...
May we all be able to pursue our dreams, do things for our parents & siblings & family according to the teachings of Allah....and still be able to remain in touch...Aameen...
Tribute to all my friends....."Friends Forever"....Inshallah...

Year 2006 - The Emergence of Greats
It was the most happening year I must say for the world of cricket in recent times considering the fact that it was ruled by mostly off-the-field incidents...but I think enough will be written about the same hence I chose to write about a few players who are emerging GREATs...of the gentleman's game...
Firstly, Mohammad Yousuf. Call it coming of age or a religious influence towards his breakthrough but what an year? Mr Consistency all around. He has taken over as the most reliable batsman of the Paki lineup ahead of Inzimam and Younis Khan. Considering he faced indifferent conditions all over the year including a visit to England, Mohammad Yousuf has shown he is a force to reckon with. Hopefully he can keep up his form and lead Pakistan towards World Cup Glory.
Next comes Michael Hussey. What a player? His God-like average and unbelievable adjusting skills in both forms of the game make him another one of the emerging greats. He had to be part of the Australian team in some way or the other and hence was moved up and down the order all through the year but that didnt affect him. He went on and played a big part in most Australian victories in one way or the other. Great talent to watch.
Another name that will be a force in the upcoming years is Mohammad Asif. Other than the off-field events this guy shows great promise of a great Fast bowler. With the talent to move the ball both ways, reverse swing it as well and then his great height has the making of a great fast bowler all around. Lets hope the youngster can build up on his achievements and be a great ambassador for the game.
There are lots of names to watch out for in the coming year but I felt these 3 names required a special mentioning while remembering the most controversial of years in recent times.

The raindrops on my window....
Contributed by: Umar Pirzada on 30th July 2003 at http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/thepointofview
I sit by the pane of glass gazing out side at the trees and winds, the birds fly and the ice cream truck sings its jingle and as I keep looking, the sky opens up and starts pouring the rain which is supposed to relieve the pain but the drops on my pane stay outside and I ...oh why have to stay inside....? See the world outside from this side of the pane, oh the pain why cant I release the pain ...?
I wanted to be a pilot, a pilot I say....flying through the skies like a bird away from everything away from the pain....sigh away from this pane...but why God why cant I fly why not.....I lay over here seeing the world in those raindrops hoping I could take walks outside hoping I could have talks outside, feed the birds, smell the roses why God ? Why cant I....? Why not...? The world so blurry through the pane....the world so blurry....
The doctors say I am gonna die soon sigh I got cancer oh why oh why....? but hows that fair .....? Why doesnt anyone care....I wanna go out, play in the mud....if only oh if only i could....oh look at that girl her hair so long all soaking wet with the rain in a song.....sigh I wish I had hair and that long, I wish I could go out....sigh oh sigh why God? why....?
Oh a pc...the internet they say you see a world through this screen....hey could this be the thing to fulfill my dream...I am going online I wanna talk to you.....my name is sheeba, you wanna tell me yours too...I am gonna die so we cant be friends for long but you never know my presence might exist for long....everyone is non-interested nobody wants to talk oh why oh why....?
Here comes someone oh he's so sweet he listens me out and ends my weep.....oh in one day he made me go out and actually told me how the world is out there.....he takes me in a plane in which I fly high .....he lets me have ice cream and I slurp and I slurp oh boy this is so much fun...I wanna do it everyday....oh God oh God lemme have some fun before I die... so I kneel down to pray.....
Oh here he is again he's the best thing that has happened to me for awhile....just cos he's willing to talk and listen to my cry.....he makes me feel content...sigh he makes me go on.....hes trying so hard... poor soul I know I dont have long....he wants me to be strong to fight the deadly disease....seems only when I stand up and walk that he will be at ease.....such pure love for me I cant really handle....fine I ll get up and take a walk taking in hand a candle....there I go its dark at night but I got my light....I go ....sneaking out the door I go and find my way out on the floor.....sigh there's the door to happiness I wanna explore....oh God give me strength.....to take that one step more.....
Opens...door....
Oh wow oh wow oh wow oh wow....the rain, the wind so beautiful it is....oh my God you let me see the truth....now I wonder what it really is....I walked and walked outside the door all soaking in the rain.....oh God thank God relieve me of this pain....oh I feel dizzy I am going down I am going down.....sigh....my last wish....has been granted...bless that soul who made me think I can actually go out that ...barrier of the door....
As I leave this rain and leave my pain....I have no regrets from this world....and I pray for that man who did his best to do what NO ONE CAN......may he be happy forever and ever and may he find love...an infinite of its kind....he gave me love not like a stranger....not thinking wrong or right....
sigh...

Oh here he is again he's the best thing that has happened to me for awhile....just cos he's willing to talk and listen to my cry.....he makes me feel content...sigh he makes me go on.....hes trying so hard... poor soul I know I dont have long....he wants me to be strong to fight the deadly disease....seems only when I stand up and walk that he will be at ease.....such pure love for me I cant really handle....fine I ll get up and take a walk taking in hand a candle....there I go its dark at night but I got my light....I go ....sneaking out the door I go and find my way out on the floor.....sigh there's the door to happiness I wanna explore....oh God give me strength.....to take that one step more.....
Opens...door....
Oh wow oh wow oh wow oh wow....the rain, the wind so beautiful it is....oh my God you let me see the truth....now I wonder what it really is....I walked and walked outside the door all soaking in the rain.....oh God thank God relieve me of this pain....oh I feel dizzy I am going down I am going down.....sigh....my last wish....has been granted...bless that soul who made me think I can actually go out that ...barrier of the door....
As I leave this rain and leave my pain....I have no regrets from this world....and I pray for that man who did his best to do what NO ONE CAN......may he be happy forever and ever and may he find love...an infinite of its kind....he gave me love not like a stranger....not thinking wrong or right....
sigh...
Indigestion Mubarak!!
Heheh...people say its an Eid of Qurbani (Sacrifice)...some says its Bakra (goat) Eid heheh...
I think its always an Eid of Indigestion...oh yes...Eid at ours starts with a bowl of SHEER KHURMA before Namaz....and then a very old tradition of a Heavy Special Breakfast of liver and the 'other' stuff...with PARATHAs....I wont go into details on the 'other' stuff as most people would say YUCK and wont read further heheh...but I love that breakfast and wait for it all YEAR...
Then comes the visits to people...In my hometown...its the men who collect and pay visits in the morning...and the ladies collect and pay the visits later on...all family live very closeby so its a walk all around...its an excitingly different EID than what people do in the big cities....of course on this eid it starts after the QURBANI....hence everything delays a bit more....
With these visits however come the GARBAR GOTAAALAs of FOOD....CHOLAs, Dahi Barha, Nimco, Biscuits, Mithai, Beverage (hot/cold)...at one place and the same things at another house....by the end of the VISIT journey....you have had at least 10 rounds of the same menu heheh...and its only a ONE MAN STOMACH...
Then comes the heavy lunch at home or uncle's and then odd timings of sleep or rather no-sleep....A great great recipe for INDIGESTION!!!
Everybody sleeps on single beds...taking care of their own...FARTS...and frequent visits to the loo...(on that note has anybody read the AUTOPEE post on DILBERT today hehhe...this guy is CREATIVE....)
Do you know who makes the most money this Eid? Qasai (butcher)? Telecommunication Service providers? Food Masala Powders Manufacturers? Hehehe....NO!!
I think its the AIR FRESHENER MAKERS!!! Big Time BABY...hehe...
Anyway....recieving lots of email and scraps...i wanted to reply with a wish for a Happy Indigestion but then decided some might say....what a thankless person I am....hence replied everyone with the CLICHEs....and decided to post here...
HAPPY EID OF INDIGESTION....EVERYONE!!!
