Disappointing Performance by Arsenal against West Ham

I was too disappointed to write about anything after the match yesterday, because Arsenal’s performance was totally disappointing. For a second I felt that Arsenal was just being too over confident with West Ham, who took the chance and scored two goals to put the scores level.

Its stupid to lose such points and dropping points in this match can become a problem for Arsenal when it comes to the League table standing. Just don’t feel like writing more on this…

Preview: West Ham vs Arsenal

I have been so busy lately that I haven’t got the time to watch any Arsenal matches this month. Arsenal’s performance has been great this season so far and for me … every coming game is a big game for Arsenal because we need to keep going on with consistency. Arsenal’s current position on the league table is 4th with 18 points and 2 games in hand as compared to the table leaders Chelsea who are standing up there with 24 points.

We’re very much in the league and all the games that Arsenal play have to be won in order to stay in the ‘title race.’ We have a clash between Liverpool and Manchester United today, which is going to be a thriller and I will go with Liverpool because of two reasons. Firstly, being an Arsenal fan I’m going to naturally favor Liverpool over Manchester United. Secondly if Liverpool wins, ManU is not going to be at the top of the table losing 3 important points. Even if the game is going to end up in a draw … I’ll be glad since ManU will again end up losing 2 important points.

Okay back to the West Ham vs Arsenal game. I am really eager to see Nasri back in the squad, because I feel he can give that further acceleration to the side. It would be amazing to see Arshavin, Fabregas, Nasri and Rosicky in the midfield… just imagine the deadly combination! Okay … I’m off for now … too excited to watch the match .. just can’t wait!!

Lost =’( …

Emo - Alone

Lost the existence that once I used to be proud of. Lost the hope to achieve what I always wanted. Lost the passion to make it bigger than I always possessed. Lost the hunger to attain the goals that I had made. Lost the sense of direction that once used to be so crisp and clear. I’m just lost to the core…

To be precise, everyone in this world is double faced. So there isn’t really anyone who you could trust. Its a world of idiots and people full of greed and jealousy. Hypocrites. Bastards. I’d like to tell all such people… you can just get lost! Yes YOU! … If its you who has been a hypocrite with me or anyone in the world. If its you who has hurt the feelings of people without even giving a second thought how it feels. If its you who has ripped someone apart from your so-called ‘right’ decisions. You’ll get the taste of hell fire. And that too very soon!

I’ve finally just lost it because there is no place in this world for people who trust. But I’m going to return… And when I return… It’ll be plain revenge … because… I hate to say this… but there is no place for ‘nice’ guys in this world… So if you are a nice guy … try changing yourself before this world eats you up alive!

Disability Campaign: We Dont Need Your Pity! We Need Respect!

Since I had a chance to take a PR (Public Relation) course in the summers in order to complete the course count for my MBA, we had to make a PR video campaign as our project. We were a group of a good 8 to 9 people and had to come up with a campaign, through which we can create awareness in SZABIST for disabled students. At present SZABIST does not have a wheel chair friendly environment, and hence we had to focus on creating awareness within SZABIST and then drive a change. Because we were targeting an internal audience, we made the following clips on a few assumptions. The tagline we used in order to keep synergy among all our videos was “We dont need your pity! We need respect!” …  I’m starring (=P) in the first video, but this was discarded, as I assume, the teacher thought I was the only one who worked. But oh well.. do check the following clips and give your feedback…

Back After 4 Damn Months?!!

Hey Guys,

Finally after 4 months, I am reviving my digital notebook yet AGAIN… I know its really stupid to do that, and I have no real excuses apart from the fact that I had been up to several things lately. Though I know I’ve just lost it now, cause I have not been writing anything here lately, but that does not mean I have been hibernating all that time.

Have made pretty decent progress in all that time, and following is a list to update you guys with whatever I have been doing:

  • Had been working on launching PakMediaBlog. Well to be honest, this was the main reason that took up majority of my time and I couldn’t get back here to writing about whatever I have been up to. It is a media blog for Pakistan (my country), where I am happy to have several contributors who write about topics related to Marketing, Advertising, Media as well as a lot of random issues. Its growing and getting noticed further, which is encouraging for me. If you wish to check it out please click here!
  • I’ve also been lucky to get a start to a teaching career. People who knew me from always could never have thought I could speak in public, but this is transition guys … I’m glad I’m over my biggest fear and have moved on.. FINALLY! Yes.. If you would have asked me 4 months ago what are my weaknesses… the only thing I felt I was weak in was public speaking and presentations. I’m also glad to get a good creative bunch of students both in the summer semester as well as the fall semester, which makes the sessions more interesting. Will keep you posted on the progress.
  • I’ve also been up to launching a few more websites, as I have been learning more and more about how dot com business work out. Although they are still in the pipeline, but will be out soon.
  • I had also been working on the concept of “brand blogging,” but the problem is that none of the marketing teams in this country (Pakistan) understand the true essence of blogging. I’m not going to tell you the full details of what has been happening .. but for GOD’s sake blogging cannot be planted .. and PUHLEEASEEEEEE.. can you please maintain the difference between blogging and SPAMMING? Its just LAME .. and no one likes it!! ..

Well that’s more or less about what has been happening at my end lately. And all of this does not mean I am disconnected with my first love. No I’m not talking about a ‘hot chick’ here, I’m talking about Arsenal FC.. a team which is just plain amazing (shoo ManU & Chelsea fans!) … I had been criticizing them during the end of the last season .. because it hurts to see them lose.. but .. Wenger is the man as always .. and he has put together a good team.. I just hope this team keeps on going as it is .. they have given us a GREAT start ..

Au Revoir!
