I hail from that wonderful city called Lahore, which seems like a distant memory now, having been away from it for a good long two decades.

Engineer by profession. worked mostly in Europe and now in US. Oil Exploration.
Random Thoughts: Love loitering on Chowk. Wrote a few articles here and interacted quite actively during 1997-1999. Moved away. Trying to make a comeback! :).
Favorite Reading: Well mine of course! Seriously, I loved the Don Schultz article, recently. I dont believe I have read a better satirical article for quite some time; and yes that includes The Economist too.
Favorite Writers: Haroon, Temporal, Ferozek, Sohail Rabbani, Saima Shah, Bina Shah, Godot, and some of Urstruly`s ones.
