Me and Wasim Akram!
Well guys yesterday was pretty much an amazing day for me. It all started when i left Karachi Shipyard round about about 2:30 with my friend Sanjeev (we both doing iternship there). Actually i had to attend a meeting of IEE at Avari Towers with my friend Whiz who is doing internship at State Bank these days. So i left Sanjeev in the bus and went into State Bank to meet Whiz. It was an amazing atmosphere there. The IT department is superb. I met some of my university fellows there. Whiz took me to their server room ..it was amazing...i saw the server room of that scale first time in my life. That network was connecting all the branches of State Bank within Pakistan. Ok..enough of this..then me and Whiz went to Avari Towers for our meeting. Whiz went to the hall. Our Karachi head told me to accompany our meeting guest. I went to the main entrance and found the Vice Chancellor of our University Engr. Abul Kalam. I took him downstairs to the meeting hall. But some of the people in the meeting were late because of the traffic jam in the city. So the meeting had to be delayed. I went back to the Avari Hotel reception to confirm that any guest that come there should be directed to the Wood Pecker lounge where our meeting is taking place. Ok as soon as i did that...my eyes suddenly moved to the entrance and i saw Pakistan's Cricketing Legend Wasim Akram. I couldnt believe at the first instant that it was wasim but i said to myself .."yeah man its wasim" the cricketer who has done so much for your country is right before you....Ok i decided i will talk to him...I went forward and shook hands with him. He was probably coming from Tennis Court. I requested if i can take a picture of him. He said "Yes". I asked him whether he will come on ESPN or not and he said "haan aaonga". He and I went inside the hotel and there i gave my cell phone to the reception guy . I told him to take the pic and he took it. Too bad the pic was a blurred one ...he was a bit far and he also moved the camera while the pic was being taken.but i was too much delighted to meet Wasim..Ok there was no time for the second one. So i said Wasim "thanks!" and left. The pic is still in my cell and will transfer the pic on my computer when i will get the device. So after that i went to attend the meeting...and after 15-30 mins..there came the snack time...there were Kabab's , Chicken & Cheese sandwiches, Samosas, Pastris and other snack stuff. Actually it was IEE who was financing it so we the meeting guys ate them like nuts :P ....Hmm..after another hour the meeting finished. Me and Whiz and some other mates of our university went to see the Tennis Court incase if we can meet Wasim again but lightining never strikes twice at the same place...so all of us left Avari to our houses. It was indeed a pleasant day . I came back home on Whiz's car which needed some water on the way back but all in all it was a one fine day! :)
