The response to the pre-launch of my first book 101Wisdumbs was “overwhelming”.

101 Wisdumbs is a pocket book in which I have unraveled my own wisdumbs on bosses, wives, success, social media, meetings and life in general. InshaAllah it will be available soon in the market. During the pre-launch phase, I met three important personalities namely Hammad Siddiqui, Sarfaraz Rehman and Mansoor Soomro. Hammad SiddiquiThough I wanted to meet more but I ran short of the initial copies of 101Wisdumbs.All three of them shared valuable insights with me on how to market and promote 101Wisdumbs. I am grateful to all three of them.Mansoor Soomro

Hammad took the lead and he not only tweeted himself in spreading the word about 101Wisdumbs on twitter but also promoted it on his Facebook and Linkedin page. Gratitude Hammad :)

Duddoo Aur Dhobi

That’s my new addiction. Though it is not meant for me but I love it :) It’s fun and educational too. “Duddoo Aur Dhobi” from “JugnooMedia” is a brand new mobile app in Urdu for toddlers of ages 1 to 3 years. Oh, how lucky you guys are.Duddoo Aur Dhobi

Presenting Urdu poems in an interactive and a highly graphic form is really a novelty not only for our young nursery going kids but also for parents like myself. The app creates an engaging/fun learning environment which is quite conducive in learning new things.

ToffeeTV is also doing a wonderful work on similar lines in promoting urdu language through story animations, songs and fun filled activities. The initiatives taken by ToffeeTV and JugnooMedia represent a paradigm shift that has started taking place in our local educational market.

Along with ToffeeTV, JugnooMedia is the latest Jugnoo all set to provide engaging content based on local languages, themes, heroes, stories, traditions and context.

Currently this wonderful app is available for iPhone and iPad, but sooner an android version will also be available.Duddoo Aur Dhobi is also available on the Apple App Store. Click here to download on your iPhone and here for iPad.

21 December 2012 – End of the world (The Mayan Calendar)

The Mayans calendar will end on 21 December, 2012. There is no further date in it. OMG.  Are you worried because it may be the doomsday on Planet Earth? Or are you happy that you have already spent your credit card limit in shopping and you won’t be receiving the bill. Whatever the case may be, here are my funny predictions :)  regarding how the world would come to an end:

21 December 2012 End of World Mayan Calender Mayan Apocalypse Doomsday

Nuclear Accident

A nuclear scientist will inadvertently put a large chunk of Uranium in his kitchen microwave for his lunch and will set the thermostat at 5 minutes. Within nano seconds, Boom Boom…. It will trigger the nuclear holocaust and will bring the world to an end.  Not a single soul will remain just to find out what that nuclear scientist was planning to eat and mistook Uranium for it.

 Genocide

Mark Zuckerberg will suddenly find out that his family roots link back to Mayans. To honor the Mayan doomsday he will shut down facebook abruptly without even informing the Security Exchange Commission.  People will come out on streets to protest. During protests facebookians will actually meet their connections for the first time in real life. And once when they will find out the true identity of whom with they were interacting, that will trigger the real genocide leading to the end of the world.

 Global Warming

The global bhatta mafia will unite globally and start money extortion from all retail outlets in the world. To protest against bhatta, the ice depots will go on strike. Their closure will further worsen global warming and will raise the temperature of planet earth by many Celsius degrees. Ultimately it will become unbearable and the world will end.

 Pollution

To protect the environment, many countries have implemented green movement initiatives in their office building, homes, shopping malls etc. The city planners had launched so many green projects without realizing that quite soon they will run out of the green color. That day, pollution will become so rampant that eventually the world will erode away.

 Hadron Collider

To protect and safeguard oneself from the doomsday, a young couple while constructing a bunker may dig into the tunnel of the Large Hadron Collider near the border of France and Switzerland. As a result the 38,000 tonnes, 27 km circular tunnel of the world’s largest particle accelerator located 100 metres beneath surface may explode resulting in disturbing earth’s orbit and increasing the risk of colliding with an asteroid. That couple will actually start the countdown of the destruction from which they were trying to save themselves.

Karachi, where locks shines quite often :)

Karachi, where locks shines quite oftenGood news for Karachiites. Besides being on the verge of disaster, our city can also be on the verge of creating a world record. Due to phenomenal sightings of the closures within the city on a routine basis, Guinness World Records 2013 may reserve a place for Karachi in the “Closed for living and doing business” category.

Generation “B” :)

200,000,000 + = > 200 million plus blogs are being published worldwide.

Do you have a blog?. If not, you should start one.

How come I started my blog.  Simple, got tired of waiting for every Sunday and getting bewildered when I don’t see my hard work published in the offline newspapers.  And so by launching humorcarbons.com I became my own newspaper and my own Editor. And now, every post of mine gets published at least virtually.

Blogging is fun. By expressing and sharing your thoughts, opinions, experiences, knowledge and even cartoons & wisdumbs etc. you can connect yourself with the whole word. It helps in building your identity. Your blog becomes your brand and you its brand ambassador.

These days, learning how to blog is trending among our younger generation. I call them generation “B” (B for Blogger, Blogging, Blog).  And there is one person, Hammad Siddiqui, whose tsunami of training sessions on blogging in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad are highly popular.  No wonder, Hammad is doing an excellent work.
