Could you tell us what made you decide to blog, and what was the inspiration behind it?
It was all started when I used to share cracks/serials/keygens with my orkut friends. Actually I wanted to help people, but didnt knew that it is a wrong way to help. Then somehow I came across to Saad Hamid, The Sizlopedia guy. He told me that why dont you start a blog and write what you want to share with other people. So I acted upon it & started my first blog on blogger.com.
What do you think sets Your blog apart from other blogs?
My blog have nothing special. But one thing I have to mention that I do post what I feel like posting. And I think that sets me apart from all the MFA and other money generator blogs.
If you had to describe life as a blogger in a Twitter message (140 characters) what would you say?
When you do something, do it with passion, or do it not at all. This also implies to Blogging.
If you could choose one characteristic you have that brought you success in life, what would it be?
Hardly anything catches my attention. But when I stick to something, I stick to it like a glue!
What was the happiest and gloomiest moment of your life?
When I heard that I got admission in IIEE, then it was the happiest moment of my life. And the gloomiest was when Google blocked my Adsense account for no specific reason.
Urdu Blogs have got huge potential, when do you think they will really take on the online horizon in Pakistan?
They will pick up when there will be readers and writers both in great numbers. There are readers already, but sadly, writers are not much in number. After buying some time, I will definitely consider to start an urdu blog.
If you could pick a travel destination, anywhere in the world, with no worries about how it’s paid for - what would your top 3 choices be?
China–because of their unique lifestyle
India–bebecause of its diversified and colorful culture
Germany–I am a big fan of WWII games..thats why 
What is your favorite book and why?
Hard Drive, The book which tells the story of Microsoft is my favorite book. It is so because I came to know through this book that those Microsoft guys did not sit where they are now with an overnight effort. But they worked really hard with passion and consistency (and a bit of clever-ness).
What is your favorite meal, dress, and sport?
Sea Foods, Casual, and Football.
Which are the top 3 places in Pakistan for honeymoon?
Haha! I really dont know about this. But the northern areas can be a suitable choice.
What’s the first thing you notice about a person (whether you know them or not)?
A little bit idea of what they are thinking about me.
Whose Future is more bright in Pakistan; English blogs or Urdu Blogs?
Definitely english blogs. But urdu blogging should be welcomed same as the english ones. And after the launch of Google Urdu Indic Transliteration engine, there is a better hope for urdu blogging, as typing in roman urdu is mostly common among the youngsters.
How Pakistani bloggers can benefit from blogs financially?
In beginning, they could put Google Adsense ads. And after gaining thousands of visitors, they should go with affiliate ads or can also leverage benefits from services like buysellads.com.
Do you think Pakistani bloggers tend to remain somewhat self-centered and really don’t go out of their shells? Is it the oriental style of blogging, or they are still unsure about it?
This phenomena existed in old days. Now bloggers are becoming more and more social oriented(and coming out from their shells )
)What do you think where the Pakistani blogosphere is right now?
It is a bit old than an infant. But it is growing by leaps and bound, which can be witnessed by all those Meetups and Tweetups.
Who are your top five favourite bloggers in Pakistan?
Awab Alvi[Teeth Maestro]
Saad Hamid[Sizlopedia]
Haris Nadeem[Sizzledcore]
Amir Attaa[ProPakistani]
Mohsin Naqi[BloggingBits]
Have you ever become stunned by the uniqueness of any blogger in
Pakistani blogosphere?
Yes. And Awab Alvi is the name. Whatever is going on the political
sphere of the nation, he cover it up like a pro. He indeed is a pro :).
What is the future of blogging in Pakistan?
The future of blogging in Pakistan is very bright. And in the few upcoming years, blogging in pakistan will be as common as the SMS.
You have also got a blogging life, how has it directly affected both your personal and professional life?
It is a bit difficult to maintain the balance between these two. When I try to to focus on one, the other suffers. By the way I am trying to manage both and keep a balance.
What are your future plans?
After my studies, I want to be my Boss.
