I would try to post some photos here that are not on my Facebook, mostly related to events that I was part of and if I have something to say about them (Given that I would be writing captions to these photos, this posting process would be slow for the time being).
Note: I got my first phone with embedded camera in 2011, and prior to that I didn't care much about taking pictures or keeping record of pictures taken with friends' cameras. So most of the pictures here would be from 2011 onward.
Note: For very recent updates with media attachments, Please look HERE
Atta and me (at the front, wearing traditional dresses) holding national flag after country presentation at UNM (US) as part of our cultural exchange program in the US. We were joined by Uzbek and Tunisian exchange students. People from different countries mainly the US, were in the audience. We cooked traditional foods, played traditional songs, did some traditional dance, and a slideshow presentation to share interesting aspects of our countries with the audience. It was a very interesting opportunity for Atta and me personally (as cultural representatives of Pakistan at the UNM during our program) to exchange ideas on bringing nations closer through mutual cultural sharing, and developing people to people contact based understanding while breaking stereotypes. All of us loved the atmosphere, and we cherished success of this event with this group photo. (HOKONA Hall, UNM, 2015)
