Hey people, have you tried out NuvoPad lately? If not there's a good chance you are missing out on some huge improvements, and of course a cool editor. Remember, it's free to use as well. So what are you waiting for? Go to the website right away

Some pics of a typical scene here in Jeddah Saudi Arabia after a mild shower of rain ;)

With the Groom, or shall I say Man for the Day, Amin himself.

Some new photos here from Amin's wedding party. Here, I (yep, that's me in the traditional dress) am seen sitting with my colleagues at my friend and office colleague Amin's wedding party.

I am pleased to announce to you people that my editor (NuvoPad) has got it's own home on the net now. Also worth mentioning here is that NuvoPad is available on 2 of the most visited sites on the internet namely, Download.com and Softpedia.com
Make sure that you check it out.
For more information, please check the NuvoPad website or my blog. In case you require any help, get in touch with me on nuvopad.at.fiqbal.com (Please substitute .at. with @. This is to ensure the email address is not stolen).

Here is a view of the Al-Hamran Center on Tahliah Street in Jeddah

Hi, people I wasn't able to post new pictures since I haven't taken any at the moment. But pretty soon, I will be taking pictures and posting them here. I was (and still am) busy with the holy month of fasting, Ramadan. However, I have been updating my main blog: All Pumped Up!

NuvoPad has also got it's new home www.nuvopad.com and I will soon be uploading it's own website. It is already available for download from my site.

For those of you wondering on what NuvoPad actually is, it is an advanced word processor designed to replace your standard Notepad and also WordPad (which come with Windows). So download and check it out.

Here you can see a minaret (minaar) of the Holy Mosque at Madinah. This minaret is part of the new construction to the Prophet's mosque.

This photo shows the burial ground of the martyrs of the battle of ohud, even as pilgrims throng the site to pay their respects to the fighters of Allah. Also seen in the background is the Ohud Mountain.

Seen here is the mosque at the resting place of the martyrs of the battle of Ohud at Madinah, KSA. A place of great historic importance for Muslims and Islam

Seen here with my cousin

At the beach. Me and my nephew in the pic. Also seen in the background is the Jeddah Hilton

The Jeddah Westin Hotel can be seen here. A good look on the sea is the prime attraction for this hotel. I haven't been to it though. But you can't rule out anything at the moment! BTW, visit my main blog site All Pumped Up! for details and musings which I publish there. I have also made available for download an alpha version of NuvoPad (which is an advanced word processor). Also don't forget to post your comments!

A view of the Jeddah Hilton hotel near the beach. A great one since I been there a couple of times. The roof top restaurant is cool.

Hi everybody! Lot's been happening since I last posted here. Oh my! BTW, I have put up a blog called All Pumped Up! on my own domain. So my search for a stable blog is over. I will keep on updating this blog. But as the name suggests this will be only for photos. It will include interesting pics of other places also apart from holding my photos! See you on my blog for more news, my software and other news and my musings. For looking at my pics, you can always come here.

Hi everybody! Happy teacher's Day to you all. I wish my teachers a happy and long life and may they guide other kids to the right path like they did with me.

Btw, I have finally setup my very own blog at my site. It can be accessed from here. Seeing you all on my new site. Of course, this blog will be available as usual except for one thing. I will be posting my photos on this site like always. See you all!

The Trad. (traditional) & Cool is here... to stay...

SARFAROSHI KI TAMANNA AB HAMARE DIL MEIN HAI,
DEKHNA HAI ZOR KITNA BAZU-E-QATIL MEIN HAI...

(Rough translation: WE HAVE ALREADY THOUGHT OF FREEDOM AND HAVE IT FIRMLY IN OUR HEARTS,
LET US SEE HOW MUCH FORCE THE ENEMY EXERTS...)

(ps:- I am not a very good translator of URDU to ENGLISH, but I tried my best to put in the spirit of the "Kalam")

India has always been a land of freedom not since 1947 but even a hundred years before that! people used to live peaceful lives, yes this is the land of the brave, the courageous, the free. Indians are a tribe which shall never accept any kind of diktat from any other people. We love to be what we are. Yes we have a lot of flaws, we have a lot to learn but we are happy to be Indians. Happy independence day to you all, may india prosper and conquer all!!!! :) JAI HIND..!
