I am a self employed Karachiite with a questionable work ethic and a penchant for founding companies that run into trouble. After spending all of four and a half years outside Pakistan, I headed back home on New Year’s eve ’02 to find that it was far easier to live and do business at home… Economist, WSJ and the rest of the world media be damned. I started blogging so that if you ever wanted a contrarian opinion on my city, on working for yourself, on Pakistan or my two cents on just about everything else, you will have me pop up on google.
My claim to fame is a book on failure that failed to become a best seller.
