Places that i have visited.

This is completely different terrain. This was taken in Quetta in a Juniper forest way back in 2004 when it was safe to go to Quetta by road before the army operation in Balochistan started. I also got to see an Olive Forest in Ziarat during that trip.
This was taken when me and my friend were taking a walk through Ayubia National Park and we decided to hike on the mountain just for fun. This picture gives a clear idea of how far out we managed to hike.
This was Naraan three years ago. I went there with my family and it was truly a magical experience seeing those clouds at such a close range. It makes me sad to think that places like these in our country are no longer accessible because of the security issues and the ongoing army operation in our tribal areas.
This was Nathiagali while i was trekking 2 years ago.The total hiking time was 3 hours just to reach the top of the mountain. I took this picture while coming down , it was around 4 o clock and it was raining and the whole area was muddy. I remember i slipped 5 times while coming down.

Wish List

I'm not a football fan but this t shirt looks cool.
I would always welcome one of these on a hot summer day.
I certainly never would say no to one of these.

I was thinking of putting up a picture of a Ferrari or some luxurious car but then i thought , if somebody decides to get me a Diahatsu Terios Kid i'll be happy. =D
The Complete Magnetist II is the most luxurious and the most supportive shoe in our stability category and is designed for the moderate overpronator. The superior engineering, plush cushioning, quality materials, lightweight and smart geometry of the Magnetist combine to provide the ultimate cushioned stability shoe. From the moment you land until the second you take off it’s smooth sailing in the Magnetist.
These Swatch Irony Retrograde Chronograph Watches are among the latest in men's high-tech Swatch watches. The new Retrograde collection provides a mix of traditional and innovative chronograph features built around a new chrono movement and display.I last bought myself a watch when i was in grade 7 =P
I wouldn't mind one of these. The new top-of-the-line Apple notebook computer sports Intel's new Core Duo processor. The Core Duo features two cores. which means it is way cooler than the previous versions.

IBA Go Green Society


g
I joined the go green society and because i liked gardening and i'm an important part of it having already contributed a great deal in organizing one of the events labelled "Paint Plant Pots" in which i helped transport the pots to IBA, i donated all of the plants that were potted and coordinated with the IBA gardener to get the plants potted in the pots that the students had painted.
Although i regret not being part of the painting activity which was done by the students but i couldn't help it because i had 4 consecutive classes that day.Nevertheless it was extremely rewarding to see the level of enthusiasm students showed in painting the pots and the final result. The IBA corridor is looking much more beautiful because of those pots.
Another project which is in the pipeline which Inshallah i'll be arranging is a farm trip for the society members. Once the manager Zia Saeed gets the approval from the patron , we'll be arranging this event at a farm in in the Outskirts of Karachi to help the students 'connect with nature.'

The beauty i find in Plants



Apart from animals my second hobby is gardening. I love to spend my time caring for my plants. I have quite a large garden at home so i spend a lot of time in maintaining it. Although i do like planting fruit trees but my major interest is flowers mainly orchids. I got this hobby from my dad and currently i have around 400 orchids at home. The pictures that you see are some of my orchids that are blossoming.

My Pets



Ever since i was a child i have always loved animals , this , apart from gardening became the only hobby i pursued religiously. I have kept many pets including pigeons,geese,ducks,hens,tortoises,parrots and dogs. I took my hobby to the next level when i interned at a veterinary clinic in my summer holidays when i was 16 despite having never studied biology. I learned a lot from this experience which gave me the opportunity to observe various wild animals at close range like monkeys , Cheetah Cubs and snakes apart from the usual dogs and cats.
Right now i have two dogs at home Britney;a 5 year old Golden Labrador Retriever and Olga;a five month old German Shepherd Dog
