About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to fill my hearth with all the goodness of Earth by meeting people from different cultures

ABOUT ME

I am easygoing and userfriendly :)(easy to understand). I am a chemical engineer; travelling a lot. Lived abroad for 7 years and travelled again. I don't go by tours; but walk in the city; use metro or public transportation. I do this to the extreme level; I travel by bus in Pakistan and Iraq.

PHILOSOPHY

One day; a 5 year old boy wanted to go park; but his dad was tired and reading newspaper. Dad handed over him a page of newspaper that has world map on it. He tear it to 100 pieces and told him to correct it. Dad was thinking that it will take hours; but after 5 minutes; boy showed his father the corrected World map. Dad was surprised and asked him how he did it; boy answered "I didn't correct the World; there was a man behind the map; I corrected the man and World got corrected by itsef"...
