Good things and bad things happened just about the same time. boinkers..

The good first.. Paras Amir Ali Allana who I know through flickr and Raheel Lakhani was in town recently with here family.. And since she’s a friend how could I not show her around, even though I haven’t seen this place much.

We went to a couple of places, including The Toy Museum, a full ride of MRT line (though it wasn’t intentional), then it was for a 3d movie experience, I took them to see G Force, and then the bungee which was my favourite, and then to round it all up, we ate at Lao Pa Sat. It’s a matter of one’s taste but Paras’s sister didn’t quite like the food there, which obviously made me think I should’ve taken them to some other food place I guess, but anyhow.. the day was fun.

Some days later I find out, my website and blog is being marked bad by google. some malicious links had been reported.. I was like woahh.. hello… bring that thing down.. I looked up, checked properly, verified and then requested a review… which was pretty quick and my website status on google was restored ( ).

Anyhow, it’s about only 2 days to Eid, and some how it doens’t really feel like Eid, but I did make a Eid card to put online. You can leave a comment about it on this page, it’s facebook page or the deviantart page.

Also now that I have my fish eye lens, telephoto lens, wide angle and macro lens I think it’s alot fun to do photography.. Also I m going to attend the GCT in the morning…

Here are some photos I took recently.

I have been really pissed about people ripping off my artworks recently, with the recent patriotism in Pakistan, alot of people had started doing something or the other about our online image.. I m really happy about that, and I wish all these people who start something like that all the best.. where I do draw the line is why the F*** do you have to steal some one else’s artwork to do just that.

I saw a rise in such incidents, where not only mine, but works of other artists were not only ripped off by known websites, but wannabe artists as well.. Whats more at some places it was being used for profit reasons. I count myself as a patriotic person (in a limited way), and I don’t think stealing is one of the things I’d like to do.. and stealing my work is no good thing, infact stealing any one’s stuff is no good.. specially if they make a living out of it.

My artworks have been online for quite some time, and I don’t watermark my images because it takes the beauty away, but if you like one of my works, and want to use it at some place, you know you can just ask for it, I m sure we can come to some terms to work on. But no… some people just take things for granted..

Please people.. respect the effort one puts in their work.. and stop stealing.. and then calling some one else’s work yours… it’s not !
