Nomi and Timmy

Two of my very good friends started blogging. They are both a gift from Pakistan Telecom Authority (PTA) to me . I worked in PTA as Assistant Director for nearly an year and these two guys were my colleagues there.

Of Nomi.

Noman Yasir Jelani (NYJ) was hired in PTA with me and we got the same "Engineering" department. I was in "Type Approval" section and all kind of telecom equipments imports used to make their way to approval through me (please dont get impressed- the work sucked big time!! ) . Noman was/is in the Numbering Plan section. All kind of telephone codes, UAN numbers etc. make their way to approval through him. When i left PTA , Noman started handling both the areas. He is quite an efficient and hardworking person and is a really fun work partner. Together we have seen a time of hardships and frustrations. I consider him quite mature and I guess i can discuss almost everything with him .A few of my present day concepts have resulted because of my long discussions with him . He doesnt usually know about the cutting edge mumbo jumbo (IPod, Iphone wagheera) but grasps new ideas very quickly. He is a very very very good friend of mine and i always enjoy his company a lot.

Of Timmy

Timmy is in some software related department. I never understood his work . :D . He is a luminite (graduate of LUMS) and has interests in japanese animes and gadgets. He is the one who introduced me to the world of Naruto though he curses it now as i keep telling him the spoilers. See! he only watches the anime (cartoon) whereas i also read the manga (the comic book) and I am always more updated about the story than him as the manga's story is always ahead of the anime. When i returned from US i brought a Naruto action figure for him and he is still keeping that in his office. He owns a Nintendo DS, an Xbox 360 and a PSP and i am waiting for him to buy a Wii as well :D . (you can see the naruto action figure along with Timmy's other gadgets in the picture) Now all these possessions clearly give an idea that he has a good knowledge of the latest technical Mumbo Jumbo . He can easily talk for hours about the various differences of the different gaming platforms, their future strategies & plans and their upcoming games and blah blah ... but sometimes it becomes impossible for me to bear him and that happen mostly when he is making a request and when he does that , he makes use of a long-duration low-frequency low-amplitude sound that becomes so irritating that the listener finds himself with no choice but to accept his request .. not only to stop the sound but also to stop his lower lip that vibrates aimlessly to help him generate merciful feelings in the hearts of the others.

Of these days

Life is going all fine. Unusullay, Princess is going fine. No customers yet. I received calls but very few people actually came to see it. bad :( . Islamabad is having the Lal Masjid issue , not sure wether its over or not. Once you are in office you are not connected to the real world anymore - there is no TV here :( and you have to wait for things to appear on internet to know about them. Lal Masjid is near to my living place . Its in G6 and i am in G7 but nothing crossed the sector borders. Life remained peaceful in my area. I am completely unaware of the latest update but its really sad to see people doing such things. Once i used to have such kind of thinking (yeah! I used to be a devoted Tableeghi) but I am happy that now i have chosen the right path :D

Of Spiritual

I might start a 6 days class with Art of living Foundation . I came to know about them while i was in US. Got their Pakistani branch's address from there and now the Islamabad branch is going to have some classes next week. I might attend them . Unlike the fourth dimension and mind power , this seems to be more oriented towards Yoga and breathing exercises. I am not sure of the course contents yet but i hope it will be more of a practical thingy. You can read a wiki about them here.

Of today

Me leaves for Peshawar today - For the love of Starcraft . Bodi gave a sacrifice last weekend by being my ally in the game - As expected we lost all of the games and then a frustrated bodi taught me a Protoss build order (though i still think i can play better with Zerg) that i am suppose to follow religiously to increase my chances of winning. Lets see how it goes this weekend.
