About Me

This is the page where I'll describe myself in more detail.

I was born at Lahore (Pakistan) in 1967, but my native city is Sialkot, the city of great poets Iqbal and Faiz. My small village (Kotli Joshan)is situated at 25 kilometers from Sialkot.

I got my primary and secondary education from Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi. Intermediate from Murray College, Sialkot, Bachelor's from Govt. College, Faisalabad and Master's from University of Agriculture, Faisalabad (you`ll be astonishing that I got my education from almost all major cities of Pakistan).


Presently I am engaged with teaching and research activities at the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. I completed my Doctorate (Ph.D) in Agricultural Extension. The title of my project is,"Analysis of institutional changes in forest management and their impact on rural livelihood strategies in NWFP, Pakistan". This research project was done in collaboration with the NCCR North-South and Zurich University, Switzerland.

RESUME

Travelling, hiking  and trekking are my favourite hobbies, although I cannot spare much time for such activities. I have travelled to the mountain region of North West Pakistan for my research work and also travelled the beautiful mountaineus countries of Switzerland, Kyrgyzstan and Laos.
 
I am also fond of reading books, newspapers, palmistry and computers.

Favorites

My favourite poets are Faiz, Iqbal, Fraz, but for the last many years I`ve not read any literary book.

I like Chinese and traditional Pakistani food (but with less spices and chillies), sweets are my weakness although I try hard to take less sweet dishes but .......

Foavourite places in Pakistan are Islamabad, Kaghan valley, Nathgia Galli and Lahore. The capital (Islamabad) is best place to live in Pakistan.
 
I have also visited few countries (Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Turkey, Krygyzstan, UAE, Malaysia, China, Laos, Bangladesh, South Africa). Kyrgyzstan and Switzerland are my favourite so far.
