1. Ask Allah for facilitation (tawfeeq) to benefit from the blessings of Ramadan daily, from now onwards.
2. Make a firm determination to abstain from all sins. Especially those committed by the eyes, ears and tongue.
3. Try to free as much time as possible from work and other commitments for pure worship (ibadah).

Medigineers is the name of music band launched by him along with (medical doctor and engineer) friends and hence the name ‘medi-gineers back in 80s while studying in Karachi.

Along the way medigineers (Mehdi) graduated from NED, worked 18 years as a business professional in strategy formulation, operations planning, team building and quality assurance after doing MBA in Finance and Operations from Scranton-PA and held senior leadership positions in manufacturing, automotive, semi-conductor and consumer electronics industries working in North America and Pakistan.

As the curtains draw on the first round… yes we have seen some heartbreaks and some joys.. But over all a lot of surprises… Some crazy surprises..

Frank Lampard
The way the cup is shaping up…. I think we are in for even more surprises…. But the ones I am awaiting are the magical moments that would come… and would ensure that we get the best of the best… from the creative forwards and solid defenders… or the mid field kings… yes there is plenty to come… watch out for these teams as they remain my favorites for they have one of them to become the ‘Golden Boots’ for the cup..
One reason for this world cup not being so rich is the absence of big name ‘Mid-fielders’…. Last edition of FIFA 2006 we had so many… if you all remember Zidane for France, Beckham for England, Fuigo for Portugal, Kaka and Ronaldhino for Brazil, Tito for Italy, Ballack for Germany and so on… the mid-field Kings decided which side will make the last eight and then the last four. Well we have a few of those this time around as well.. To start with …
10- Frank Lampard – England
One of the finest goal scoring mid-fielders, Lampard can set the pieces for his forwards Rooney and others. I know many think its Rooney who may win it for England… with England not doing so well till now, I still feel if it was Beckham who could do it from the mid…. It will have to be Lampard to do the job this episode.

1. Sleep less. This is one of the best investments you can make to make your life more productive and rewarding. Most people do not need more than 6 hours to maintain an excellent state of health. Try getting up one hour earlier for 21 days and it will develop into a powerful habit. Remember, it is the quality not the quantity of sleep that is important. And just imagine having an extra 30 hours a month to spend on the things that are important to you.

I’m always amazed that more people don’t know the little tricks you can use to get more out of a simple Google search. Here are 10 of my favorites.
1. Use the “site:” operator to limit searches to a particular site. I use this one all the time, and it’s particularly handy because many site’s built-in search tools don’t return the results you’re looking for (and some sites don’t even have a search feature). If I’m looking for WWD posts about GTD, for example, I could try this search: GTD site:webworkerdaily.com.
2. Use Google as a spelling aid. As Rob Hacker — the WWD reader I profiled last week — pointed out, entering a word into Google is a quick way to see if you have the right spelling. If it’s incorrect, Google will suggest the correct spelling instead. Additionally, if you want to get a definition of a word, you can use the “define:” operator to return definitions from various dictionaries (for example, define: parasympathetic).

We all know times are tough. So many people are unemployed, underemployed or underpaid, that any available job can look like a golden opportunity. That is, unless it’s one of these. From the obviously disgruntled boss to ludicrous requirements, these positions aren’t really suited for anyone except the self-loathing or the clinically insane.
