As the title says it all. I’m obsessed with Wordpress more after the launch of 2.7. The new Admin UI and features are just great. What I like the most in new Wordpress is the updation of plugins & Wordpress. This will probably be the last time I upgraded my blog manually. Now whenever Wordpress have updates to install, I’m just two-click away – awesome. Wanna know more about the new Wordpress 2.7, click here.
Oh yes, I’m alive . Damn, I haven’t updated my blog since ages. Okay there is so much to tell and write about so here I go:
SOCH ‘08
Got this project from batty. I liked the cause and it was great working with Rumaisa Reem and Kiran Nazish, specially Rumaisa. I hope I did justice to this project in such a short timeline.
Learning jQuery
On a very beginner stage rite now.
WAP/Mobile websites
Did a basic WAP project at office (can’t share the link here). The optimization for mobiles take hell loads of time . But its again a good experience for me – learned something. Oh btw, my blog is now mobile friendly .

Coke Studio is a journey into the heart of a recording studio where you will be able to experience the magic of live music being performed by some of the most talented musicians and artists of Pakistan.
Born out of a dream to merge tradition with modern, consistency with change, we have embarked on a journey to create a first hand experience for you to witness live studio sessions – something very few people have witnessed before as studio recording sessions are a secretive process normally only reserved for producers and musicians to witness and experience.
The performances of Coke Studio were recorded live in front of a select studio audience in Karachi in February 2008. Featuring in these performances are Duets by Ali Azmat and Rahet Fateh Ali Khan, Strings and Ustaad Hussain Baksh Gullu and Ali Zafar and Tufail. There are also select performances by Mauj, Sajid and Zeeshan and other traditional percussion performers. The Coke Studio House Band features Gumby on drums, Omran Shafique on guitars, Mannu on Bass, Zeeshan on keyboards and turntables, Saba and Selina on backing vocals, Shezi and Babur on percussions and a 4-piece Baluchi percussion band led by Abdul Latif. Rohail Hyatt is the producer of Coke Studio.
So get ready to experience fusion music like you’ve never heard before. Get ready for Coke Studio… Starting 8th June at 10:00 PM (PST) on your favorite TV and Radio Channels
These two songs are on loop in my playlist these days.
Strings – Koi Anay Wala Hai
Strings is always being my favorite band since “sir kiye”. I always like their work and I love this new song and new video.
Audioslave – Cochise
Old track but loving it more these days as it’s also an OST for Iron Man
