The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Govt of Pakistan has just published a coffee table pictorial book containing more than 250 pages book on 'Pakistan'. I am honored to have 12 photos in the book.
For the information of people, the second edition of book is in process which will be sold to the public. The first edition was only restricted to Delagations and Government guests and was distributed among very few people. I also have got only one copy as yet and am waiting for more to buy.

"Winning is not everything but the effort to win is"
Sometime back more precisely some 5 years back; I asked some one who was at his life's prime 'Do you feel you are successful?'
He said, 'No body can answer that; if you think that by having a Saloon car, a 200k pay, a kanal house and a happy family is the definition of leading a successful life then I am successful but if you ask me in real terms then I am NOT'. he said further, 'Success is not all about winning it is about the effort you constantly do to strive your self. Work smart and have faith in Allah and leave the rest, you will be successful'.
I don't know why these lines are comng in my mind again and again but today after spending an agonizing and painful perioid of more than six months, I am back into my life. I can't put my pain in words but those who know what happened with me in the last six months can well imagine the trauma I was passing through. For the last six months only one thing was keeping me alive and that was belief - my Belief on Allah and belief of my close ones on me; and yes today I am back.
Like all the other dark periods of my life, this was the worst but as everybody says, 'After every dark night there is a morning'. Yes, today is the morning and I am embarrasing it with pride, a sense of dignity that yes I faced all with the determination and the faith that I had.
I guess it is the start of another life for once again and I have been waiting to start it since long. I thank my all those well wishers who stood with me in this difficult time and gave me the strength to face everything. And yes Now am ready to face everything that comes my WAY.
