A blog about creative web pixels!

I was passing by TV when I saw little portion of Olper’s new Ramadan ad for 2010 and it appealed me. Few days later, I saw it in on YouTube and the 1st time I saw it, I could see 1 scene copied from AirTel advertisement “little girl and boat”. The Vision Factory made a good ad but I couldn’t find any reason for copying whole concept of 1 AirTel ad. See for yourself, after 45 sec in Olper’s ad the little girl tries to cover the bird from rain..

And here is the AirTel ad, one of my fav

Look around 360 degrees, every other person is occupied. Some in their life, others in worries. Gadgets, money, work, friends/social-networks occupy more than 80% of our day. The rest goes to family and the remainder to our Rab! An ordinary Muslim spends a maximum of 2 hours (out of 24) even if he prays 5 times of prayers. But do we even do justice in that? Our mind is heavily occupied with dozen of thoughts which lead to performing duty in unconscious state. And it lacks a connection!

Recently I observed couple of Muslims, who when offer prayers, do their RUKU and SAJDA in real hurry (in less than a second). May be that’s the way they offer prayers or it’s just that their mind is heavily occupied. I have myself been a victim of heavily occupied mind but we all can try to improve ourselves. Hmm, I did observe something different while I was in Qatar and on visits to the Holy cities, Makkah & Madinah. The Arabs prefer to have long RUKU and SAJDAH specially during Qayyam (in last 10 days of Ramadan). And it really makes your prayer beautiful!

Zindagi guzar rahi hae, aur guzar jaye gee. Jou kuch houna hae, woh Rab ki marzi sae hee houna hae. Mager phir bhi jub hum apnay Rab ke samnay jatay hein tau hum jaldi jaldi mein bhaag atay hein, aisa kyon? Ibadat hou ya kaam, uss ka HAQ tau ada karo! SAJDAH mein Rab sae banda sub sae kareeb houta hae aur woh hee sahi na karein tau bacha kya? Jub apnay Rab ke samnay RUKU aur SAJDAH karo, tau kuch ehsaas tau hou ke mera Rab mujhe deikh raha hae. Apnay Rab sae rishta jor ker tau deikhou!

Perform your prayers in a manner that you feel connected with Allah, the rest shall become secondary because worries end where faith begins!

Sometimes I wonder, I keep thinking about different things, and there are so many things that still bother me because I find no proper reasoning for it. And one of them is: how do creative thoughts click your mind? What exactly is creativity? I believe it’s not about market research, experience and other geeky terms! But somehow some thoughts click your mind out of no where but out of YOU – really don’t know how :S

I sometimes get to hear negative comments from people around: silly, weird, sensitive and what not?! I don’t care about the comments but I think, a combination of this + freedom helps you to be yourself, to do whatever you want and that’s what it’s about. Not caring about what others might think, say or observe – but if you believe in something, work over it and bring it out, express yourself! And “kuch kuch na kuch naya hou jaya ga” :$

I know it might seem like an odd post but do share your opinion, how do you define it?

I have been using WordPress for couple of years now but when it comes to themes, things get a little difficult. It’s just that whenever I try to search for a theme, I Google it up or visit many popular websites but all of them end up showing me same content. Anyway, this time..I Googled more and found another themes website which looked similar but I thought I’ll give it a try. ThemesVillage.com looked similar to other sites since it had categories, tags and all. But what I liked was “Featured Themes” section and guess what? The featured section really had quality themes and it got me many new themes which I have never seen!

ThemesVillage seems new but I think they can do well by providing fresh content along with more exciting features. That’s all for now

We shake hands with the right hand and eat with our right hand. But there is more to it. Islamically, we should always wear from the right side (right sleeve first). While entering mosque, we should always enter with the right-foot. Upon greeting a friend circle, we should always start from the right side. And if you’re stuck in the situation while entering a door (‘AAP PAHLE, AAP PAHLE’), then the person on right should proceed!

May Allah accept our deeds and guide us towards the right path

Hmm, here is an old video that I came across last weekend. A guy just had a glance of the city from helicopter and then he draws it for 3 days, and you can see the result – simply amazing!

I just had an hour to enjoy my self on the tablet, and I tried some cutie old school stuff too. I know they look kiddish but I like my car

Oops! It was my first day, first hour using the tablet and I was really loving it I tried some more random sketches and came up with..

It was an ordinary morning, a little lazy one today. I was feeling a little numb or may be lost and was expecting a slow day ahead. Had lunch in just few minutes and when I was back, I saw my neighbours trying out sketches on Hina‘s tablet. It seemed fun and I couldn’t resist it either. From grade-6, I have always drawn a fishing boat using pencil as it is one of the best things I can draw around :$ I tested out the tablet by writing few stuff in Urdu, and then I finally did my first sketch

Special thanks to Rambler for pressing Ctrl-Z every now and then. And to AubyKhan for appreciation on every step Well, this is not it, I did some more sketches and will be sharing in upcoming posts!
