About: Mehdi Hasnain aka Moon uses pen (or mouse) name medigineers. 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. These are also the early days that shaped the social media context for him ultimately resulting in what we have today as www.doodhpatti.com.
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. He is currently working as Global Quality Director for APC-Schnieder and is commuting between Boston and Karachi.
“Medigineers keeps me connected with my inner creative, communal and entrepreneurial instincts”, says Mehdi and thus culminates in launching projects such as ARRA International (during his early days in Karachi), Advanced Management Group and now Tohfay.com and Doodhpatti.com. Medigineers is a writer, singer and a poet (in humorous genre, a pupil of the great Late Dilwar Figaar himself) is often reciting mushairay in North America and Asia. Calls himself a teacher, a student of finance, economy and human behaviors.
(Mehdi is the CEO of Tohfay Inc and heads the strategy and global expansion plans for all related portals).See Authors Posts (57)

Every single Pakistani and Australian journalist and blogger have written on why in the world would Afridi do such a stupidity.. calling him a plain idiot to asking what the hell if at all he was thinking. It is indeed mind boggling and would remain in memory as such till the day he plays cricket. Here are our top ten real reasons of why Shahid Afridi started biting the ball (read eating) as the match got closer to finish…
10 ) Apples are good for health.
9 ) Was checking to see if the Australians had bitten it.
8 ) Seem like a good idea at the time…
7 ) Just trying to prove that he not dumb or stupid… but a ‘smart’ captain…
6 ) Hadn’t eaten dinner.. It was past 11:00 for God sake.
5 ) This was a publicity stunt for his new contract with PEPSI for a campaign where the fans would get an Afridi bitten cricket ball for every 100 bottle caps they collect.
4 ) This was a publicity stunt for his new contract with CLOSE UP toothpaste for a campaign titled. “What’s the next you will use your teeth for”?
3 ) Change the media focus from 8-0 whitewash defeat to something more entertaining.
2 ) Oh Khochay hum tum ko bataati hai……
..and the # 1) Reason,
1 ) CHOMP CHOMP Afridi !
awwsoommmmmmmmmmmeee,atleast he had the guts………and he did not lie about when he was asked,unlike Yousf bitting his finger nails………..
haha… best of the lot
4 ) This was a publicity stunt for his new contract with CLOSE UP toothpaste for a campaign titled. “What’s the next you will use your teeth for”?
@Samar Jafri (Tx)
haha… what guts are you talking about, that was the only thing he could do at that moment to survive.
CHOMP CHOMP…… I hope we stop hearing the slogan …Boom Boom once and forever..
We are sad,, we are angry!!! how can we expect good things from our cricket team when our leaders and other people who are in power not delivering accordingly …
“Cricket balls are a rich source of Vitamin A, B, C & E. I chew thew them regularly to stay fit”
(Chomp Chomp Afridi)
no more more boom boom afridi…from now on….chomp chomp afridi
Shahid Afridi was caught on camera biting a cricket ball during the recent Pakistan vs. Australia match. Unfortunately people have misunderstood his motives. Here are some plausible reasons for his biting the ball:
1. Afridi wanted to see if the entire ball would fit in his mouth.
2. He thought it smelt funny and wanted to see if it tasted funny too.
3. The bitch slapping from the Aussies had a psychological effect on Afridi and he momentarily regressed into a 3 year old.
4. Afridi was just sharpening his teeth!
5. He thought it would be easier to just lick the ball to shine it!
So as you can see it was all very innocent
