When the man of the house looses his cool....

I woke up from the bed to find him all dressed up...his cologne was too hard for me to bear. My empty stomach was whining even though it had just been a few hours since I last ate. I saw his grumpy face as he walked down the stairs...his eyes gave me that hopeful look that I might just stop him and ask him to work from home...just today....

But well, a man's job is a man's job...and my job here is to rejuvenate this man somehow..amidst all the odds that the weather and the Holy month has to offer...so guess what?...I today decided to bring that twinkle back to his eyes and make him what I call a series of Lifesavers...ehehe..

A rendezvous with Ayeza Sumsam Mohiuddin (Brand Manager,Skin Health Care Category)

My meet-cute with Ayeza was out of any professional and academic settings, we met at a mutual relative's place and instantly clicked. She was a year younger than me and yet her take on life inspired me at that point in time too. We then lost touch of each other only to meet again at IBA, where we used to pass occasional glances and smiles as we both were too occupied to make a decent conversation. Today, when I searched among my Facebook friends for an inspirational marketer, Ayeza's named popped in my mind and on my screen almost immediately,I reached out to her, not expecting her to message so promptly as I knew she is a busy young lady. But, this bright person made me awe struck once again, by the very manner in whichshe welcomed the idea of "The Placement Office", I could feel her giddy with excitement as she answered all my questions pain painstakingly detailing as much as possible. I hope our conversation with Ayeza today, can inspire hundreds and tho...

The curious case of PLAB

Today was a good day when my nagging self got hold of Dr. Usama Basit, who gave in to my constant messages and some thought provoking questions regarding the professional exams in the field of Medicine. For all of you out there who what to save lives, do have a look at what our life saver right here has to say about the much dreaded PLAB examination, a professional exam which helps you make way into the medicine in the UK. What is the PLAB exam and how does it help in initiating a medical career in UK? There are many routes of entry into the UK for doctors who wish to train here.

Let me tell you a bit about this - basically any country that you work in has their own authority that confirms that you are good to practice in that country. For Pakistan, that authority is the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council, for the UK it is the Ge...

Of Fathers and Daughters....

It was on a chirpy morning of the 21st of April when a little birdy came and snuggled in my arms. I don't remember much from that day except for the fact that to me she looked exactly like her dad...and I smiled at this thought as slumber engulfed me Today as I see my daughter chirping around I feel a strange emotion, one that can't be put into words...my love for her is strange..part of me want her to grow up fast and achieve all the milestones I have in mind for her..the other part longs for that biiig hug and a wettest possible kiss that smears saliva all over my face... (I'll always miss this)...but my bond with her is innate....we were meant to be friends,rather best friends..its just how God programmed us..embedded love in our biology...love that can never ever fall weak... However whenever I see her longing for her dad all day long with a sullen look, my heart goes out to her...when I see her eyes sparkle at the sight of her baba jani..my heart ski...

Life as Sid knows it...
