Hi there folks, I m in a process of rebranding myself (and obviously my work identity Conceptual Konfusion Creative Park). These changes will obviously start to show slowly since I m also occupied with lots of office work, plus I have more activity going on in my life since I moved back to Karachi, PK.

With this change I m trying to convey more openness and boldness in my approach, and the new things I’ve learned over the years. I m certainly more capable now than I was before and I would love to show that with what I do. I m not perfect and no one can be 100% but I sure can try.

You can download my new CV here, or if you’re looking for a printer friendly version, download from here.

Cheers.

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 never blogged about this, but around the time I joined Xuqa, I was also working on a website, Peanutlabs Media, which after some backend development by the Peanutlabs team went live recently.

Let me tell you, it’s a rather simple website, and contains simpe and bsic info about what th company does, it’s nothing too flashy or iconic, and really nothing out of the box or new. But I wouldn’t say it’s bad, it’s good as long it serves it’s purpose, and as long as the people who’re paying the bills are happy, and that they are.

Also a simple note, I m not taking anymore freelance projects, but if you want to get some projects done, I m sure I can hook you up with the right people, or maybe serve as the middle man

I had been busy working at a company called “illusio” in Dubai for about a month now, and the two things that I m doing or was doing were the website and the brochure. The website is live now. You can see it in action here.

It’s not a very big website, and the biggest challenge in this website was the content. Which one would feel is still missing from alot of places, since the company is not willing to do the copywriting again, and they have a very scattered record of their old projects, though things are being skimmed on that part.

I m hoping to complete the brochure soon too.

Lets see what you have have to say about this.

It’s the week end, now isn’t ? so I should be out going crazy and acting like a holligan… but i m not, infact I was out playing cricket with about a quarter of my office staff near my collgue’s house.. coolness.. yes, very much yes.. It’s one of the ways I get to excercise in my otherwise very hush hush routine..

So I played, and I played much better than the last time, a little good show of progress

On the other hand, Zair my long CSS rockstar friend at work will be on a little leave for his cousin’s wedding.. enjoy the time bro

And boy am I excited or what, we have the first Teabreak get together on the 27th July, 2008. Sign up if you’re blogger and join us at the get together.. should be fun I suppose.

Oh and my website is almost ready, need to squash out some stuff..

Yello fellows…

Alot of great things are happening around me, and alot of things for me, right in my favour. Remember I said I was on board for a really cool project, well it’s getting an upgrade soon, I m working on it’s new look and feel, which means, it’s gonna look new, soon. What you see above is going to be it’s new logo, looks cool, isn’t ?

Any how, me Asim, and Batty had a meeting recently, and we talked about a couple of things for the project, the most important of them all, was the new look, which is right now in the works, but should be out soon, hopefully.

I’ve also been doing some random artworks, check them here.

On the other hand, Gunnah, which is my amigo’s band, is going pretty well.. Awesome !

Oh and some time back I had done a horror background sound for my mom’s school project, the whole project turned out to be a hit, it even got in the news papers.. bohot aala ! Mashallah !

As for the work at my work place, it’s going good… though it’s a little painful.. but hey we folks like pain..

The bad thing is that my really cool collegue and friend, Zair, ain’t well, and really really not well. Prayers are requested.

I don’t get what the title says itself, though it may hold some meaning for some, and not so much meaning for others…

Never mind that, I m acting like a moron already, you see less sleep leaves me drained !

Yes I was at office again, and late, I thought I’d leave but surprise surprise, no means of transport..DAMN !

Had to come back to the office work a little more and sleep, then wake up again, and work more.. oh hell ! But it was worth it, ya know I left the office at 1 pm. Woah !

Any how, after that the day was slow..should’ve stayed at the office

I have some friends telling me, they’re feeling pretty down..i tried calling, and they were either sleeping or un available…WTF ! Will call again, I hope to get them back in their spirits ! wish me luck !
