I guess there is not much that I can say about me, because I am still going through the process of discovering myself, which may last a lifetime... maybe even more. I am from Pakistan, but these days I am living in solitude somewhere in suburbs of Seattle, in the US northwest. To pay my bills in the capitalist world, I am working as a software engineer at Microsoft. Besides that, I am finishing masters, and planning to do an MBA to keep myself busy. After that, whatever time I get for myself is spent making music with a 6-string electric guitar, sketching semi-abstract ideas with oil pastels, writing random thoughts or driving on the country roads with 60’s psychedelic rock. As a teenager, I was pretty much a typical long-haired anarchist, finding satisfaction in challenging the established beliefs fed to our generation. I am still very much a dreamer, and still very cynic, and a certain restlessness is an integral part of my being, which wouldn’t leave me till the much anticipated end of the movie of my life. Peace.
