Who, me?

Briefly: I have written for SPIDER Magazine and Huffington Post, have been interviewed by the BBC and WIRED. I am by profession, either a writer, blogger and/or a designer, depending what time of the year it is.

Not-so-briefly:

Hello, peace and Asalaam-o-Alaikum,

I am Momekh and no, it is not my real name and I am not German. I hail, so to speak, from the bustling city of Lahore, Pakistan. I qualify as an entrepreneur, but I have had a hard time in categorizing myself.

I have been involved with the Internet since its inception. I was a published writer (IT and Politics) before I was a blogger.

• Written for SPIDER (as a contributing author – written two cover stories including numerous articles relating to IT and IT lifestyle)
• Interviewed by Wired Magazine for my blogging activities (2005)
• Written for The Huffington Post

Only recently I have been advertising online (using Google Adwords and Microsoft Adcenter), and generating relevant traffic. I intend to get the Google Adwords Certified Professional certificate.

I have been blogging since 2001 and run a small blog network (three blogs and counting), so keyword analysis and SEO are business as usual.

In an attempt to categorize myself, I have been known to call myself a Marketing and Business consultant. It can also relate to the fact that I have consulted small and mid sized business owners on presentations, marketing and human resource matters. I have been interviewed more than once (once by Wired’s Jeff Koyen, and twice by the BBC) due to my blogging habits on matters relating to disaster relief efforts and the freedom of media. Making friends along the way, I still blog and write about whatever the heck I feel like. (Mostly at Lahore Metblogs and here, Life(ETC))

Cutting an exceptionally long story short, I believe that this life, all of this, is not some form of creative sport and that there will be a day of reckoning where all of us will stand in awe of the Creator. And like I always push my clients to do as well, I like to plan ahead. At least try to.

God bless and good luck to us all.
