So I've decided to put up a post to get the blog moving.
Do you remember Farhan Munsif and his initials FM.
I was wondering about that much more and looked at his elder brother
Adnan Munsif AM.
FM and AM ...what a coincidence.
Younger brothers
Dawood Munsif… DM (Doc Martens)
Marwam Munsif…. M&M ??
If you are not laughing yet, go have some laughing gas!!!

Apple launches...
Apple already did something which it was bound to do today or tomorrow. I am talking about the introduction of Intel chips in Apple Computers. Two models, an iMac and a completely new model PowerMac pro were introduced. I am not going to talk about the iMac only because it doesn’t look new but also because I didn’t go over the specifications.
Apple has significantly done what it does all the time, take my breath away. I was going over the deliciously detailed specifications of the PowerMac Pro and I was harboring the pity of not being able to afford one myself.
With every new product Apple does add a significant feature which makes the heart skip a few beats, like the Apple remote on the iMacs (the ones with the iSight built within the body).
PowerMac Pro has the Apple Remote too. Not only that, it has a particularly new system of power cord attachment: A magnet. Yes, a magnet which secures the power cord to the laptop. Apple says it is to prevent:
1.The notebook from flying of the base it is placed upon if someone trips on the cord.
2. Lessen damage to the connectors by putting force when connecting to the notebook to the charger.
I don’t know how Apple has divided itself over the minimum power of the pull for the magnet to break away. We wouldn’t want our laptop to be put to charge and just a little accidental touch to make the cord fall down. That’s for no.1.
And for no.2 is: the more the cord falls down the more the connector has liability for damage.
Not so long back the buttons on the fourth generation ipod were given the extra-sensitive label.These matters do affect the end consumer. Ipod couldn’t be rivaled since its release, but how does Apple convince consumers to go for its notebooks rather than the manufacturers which have already been dominating the market and have significant architectural experience to match Intel chips which Apple does not because it is oh-for-so-long being playing with other chip manufacturers.
Unlike the THREAT-ENDING which I have given in my previous Apple posts I will not end this post by a threat. But by a simple Question ….Does Apple know the meaning of free? If it does… then my e-mail address is callmerightnowatmynumber@hotmail.com.
I’ll provide you my shipping address over by e-mail.

Project Update: Subject Research complete
My final project on Sufism here at Vancouver Film School is taking shape... Have finished the research phase. The project is sort of taking a structure in my mind and somewhat on paper... Now during the next week I would be doing early sketches and mockups along with the user research.
The topic of Sufism and Man's relationship with spirituality is off course something that cannot be understood in its entirety in such a short period. But I think I have covered some good ground in the subject area and have a pretty reasonable understanding what needs to be done for this project. I am having a time of my life doing this project.

do it yourself marketing ppl
I was supposed to create a poster for CAIR... you saw one draft earlier... the one I recycled... the poster you are seeing on this page is a work of art... it is done by a fairly talented team called strategic inspirations in Michigan... basically into marketing...
this poster can show you that you don't need a designer at all... just do it yourself...
*Thank God I am not working for them anymore...*

Mr.Dunlop
Some news which I believe would be of interest to those who read and manage this blog.
Mr. Zia-ur-Rehman, known popularly as Dunlop has been through some high and low times of late.
1. He is married. (Old News? Oh! I am sorry)
2. Dunlops mom passed away, (may her soul rest in peace)
3. Dunlop has a son now.
Dunlop is a Pathan, and keeping in traditions borne by the Pakhtuns he had a child.
Other than the first piece of news, he didn’t tell me about the other two himself, until I got tumbled by the news.
Also, he names his son, be ready for this one … Salman Khan.
On hearing this name, you will surely laugh, but when you think about it, you will realize that he isn’t wrong. The name is basically Salman and then Khan is a traditional surname in the Pathans, so it makes complete sense.
What else? I haven’t posted here for quite sometime so I can’t see myself go like this, with such a short post eh?
I went to the Eid Festival at my ex-school Pakistan Education Centre and there I met Dunlop there too, the worst part of going to these festivals is that people who know you forcefully hug you whether you like it or not.
Anyway, I got these “katlammas”,which turned out to be really spicy and I ate two full ones, vowing never to eat them again.. but maybe I’ll eat em’ again, if they are not so spicy :)

The journey is the Goal Itself
Believe me or not I just feel overwhelmed by the fact that how my life journey is turning out. In the past I have been in certain situations where I said to myself that there must be an explanation of all this. What all this? All these lies I was living like fake personality and all... the most important thing I wanted an explanation and solution for was: why am I the biggest "approval junkie" I know?
With the course of time I have managed to trace the roots of the problem... through endless discourses... and I believe that it is not only me that has the problem since I am part of a society eventually the whole society has the problem.
Answers and Solutions are out there. All we have to do is look for them. It sounds as any other cool sentence we might have read in English but seriously that what it is... WE HAVE TO LOOK! Killing time and spending time on useless activities will get you to be cool... on the "guest list"... but won't get you to be your true self... your INDIVIDUALITY... NOT PERSONALITY... personality is just a showcase of yourself...
SEEK friends... we should stop accepting what has been imposed on us... Never become knowledgeable... always remain LEARNING
