D&I Decorating the Workstation Contest

During the D&I week 2007 their was a workstation decration competition which took place, the competition was spread over 3 days in which everyone was invited to decorate their workstations onthe theme of D&I later on judges took a tour of whole Shell House and announced the winners 1 for evry floor, we also did it but we dint win, actualyl i do know why we dint win, the reason was we were never serious abt it until the upper mgmt asked us to do it just for the sake of participation, and whatever we did, we did in half an hour or may be even less, all n all NO FUN :P

By the way D&I means Diversity and Inclusivness :P

The Shell "Brand Week"

During the Shell Brand Week this yearthe focus was one launching the new brand strategy for Shell globally, and guess who ran teh campaign in Pakistan, well you guessed it right but it was a team effort, in the absence of some key personal we did our best to launch the campaign which ran not exactly to our expactations but it was good enough to get declared as a success.

I cant leak the strategy here but you can get an idea about it at www.shell.com.pk

Tameer at EXPO

The Seminar and Exhibition on "HASSLE FREE BUSINESS ENVOIRNMENT"




2nd May 2007, SMEDA organized an event for entrepreneurs and organizations supporting entrepreneurship. More then 40 institutions took part in it ranging from financial sector to coprate multinationals to govt. and semi govt. organizations.






Shell also has a project named TAMEER which promotes the idea of forseeing self employment as a viable career option, altough their is a designated team to run the project, fortunately or unfortunately the team was off for a training sesson in NewCastle UK. So i had been asked to fill in their shoes for one day and present Tameer in the Exhibition, well I did it, good or bad that only attendants can tell :$. but all in all it was a great experience and i enjoyed it.

When Zia was here...

Somewhere in April Zia came to Pakistan to visit his family and friends in Karachi from London.. we went out to places to eat to drink to enjoy to do khwaari and to do alot of badtameezi to the ppl walking in the side of road (this reminds me of Side manager, who was he ill tell you later, that if i want to :P ). we came up with a business plan too. which will either be a failure or a success cant be anything other then it. it was a short trip and things we do are ntohing to address in public, and why would anyone intrested reading it.. huh ??

by the way Zia is my cousin..

Farewell to "Rana", "Mulla Omer", aur pata nahi kia kia..

A not so good friend of ours is finally leaving the town to persue his career primarily and his girl secondarily (if its the right word), one way where we wont miss him much on the other way we will surely miss all the "anokhi thor phor" he used to do (habitual bitch) ... we hope he fits in to the outside life and we also hope he gets the grip of things and girl both, long live dude (but outside khi)..

Mansoor, another habitual yundi, specially dedicated a song on Rana's farewell which goes like

O re babu

O re babu

A teri Got maray chamba... (only he knows what it means. sounds good though)

And The "GIG"

all i need to say is soemthings will never change or shud i say someone will never change ?





all and all it was a good performance, given the circumstances :P, thats what peopel are saying... believe me it was the sound guy and some crap ppl who just never wanted us to play, all i can say to them is "Long Live" ..

The Best "AUR" Jam

After nearly a one and half year leave from Live Stage, we finally decided to go and play Live.




During the days ranging from 21st March to 23rd March marked the best jam, the band AUR has done uptil now, we jammed for a show at BIZTEK, with the new kid Arif on block playing drums, we enjoyed one of the best jam sessions, their are not alot of them anyways.






In a garage (workshop) in an area which is nearly Remote :P, we kicked the instruments all nite long, producing some good music and fun for ourselves, we would have loved to play similerly in Gig.. what happened in Gig, ill tell you later ;)

Adventure of GoAish

GoAish is this new thing of not so new kind but fun anyway, some foriegners setted up here in Safari Park, been there was one the most wonderful time i have ever had, and we never thaught that we will enjoy that much in Safari Park... but believe me this place is fun, if you have courage go and enjoy it, and if you dont have courage you can also enjoy it ... wanna know why, coz i did enjoy too ;) so ..

Swing, High Ropess, Paint Ball Quad Bikes are the things there and we have heard they will be setting up new drills as well, go at your own risk 'coz you might end up dead...

On our second trip, me, zeeshan, sabaina and omer went there, and zeeshan got an injury on high ropes and now he is convincing everyone not to go on it, dude you dont need to convince anyone all of us are convinced ourself that it is very dangerous and physically demanding.. but its fun :D

by the way i forgot wall Climbing, may be 'coz i was unable to do it, shit, but im gonna do it next time , wanna bet ??

1st Day with "Shell Lions" The Shell Pakistan Cricket Team

Sunday 11th March 2007 was my first day with Shell Lions (The Shell Pakistan Cricket Team) in which i was selected recently after a trial session on PCB Academy nets.

Our opponent were Bank Al Islami and the match was to stage at National Bank Sports Complex Ground Clifton.

We reached the place around 9:00 am after early practice and running sessions match was started at 10:00 am, we lost the toss and hence were to bowl first, in 25 aside match Bank AL Islami scored a heavy 172/5 with my performance not to be mentioned as i wasnt even the 12th men, The team preferred to play with senior players who were playing togather for sometime now.

Weather on the day was awsome, cloudy windy and chill. as soon as our bettign started, rain started to pour down heavily and match got abondoned due to rain, lol

next match is next sunday and i am hopeful to get a chance in starting 11 and show my metal.

A Day Back With KU Gang

Friday 9th March it was the wedding ceremony of our very own Waqas Ghajar's sister, may Allah bless her with all the happiness and goodluck in her life yeah with her husband too.

The ceremony gave us a chance to meet some of our KU ppl again, after a very long time, but as soon as we gathered it seemes like we have met hours before, such is the understanding between us. we all talked abt how we miss the KU days and recalled some of our stories from the best 4 years if our life ( i wish i am dreaming and when i wake up in the morning i could go to KU and have fun again *sigh*) but as this is not gonna happen we decided to meet each other somehow somewhere at reguler intervals to enjoy each others company, well its another one of those plans that we come up with, whenever we meet, but hopefully we will materialize this one, or may be not ?, what do you say ?.. no comments ? .. well thats the best way to go about it i guess 'coz even im not sure if we can do that, but their is no "khercha" in tryign so why not just try ?

people who were there were Myself, Khurrum, Fadi, Daddy Talha, Abdul Basit and Waqas Ghajar, we were expacting more ppl but, busy lives are the only thing we can blame..

wanna share some pictures with you :)
