Break and back

Time doesn’t travel fast, we do. It feels nice to tap the dust off of this blog after 2 months. I hope my writ­ing hasn’t gone rusty. I sup­pose not, since I’ve writ­ten what seems like tons of drafts for B school essays meanwhile. Winter has maneu­vered its way out of no where on to the east coast. I already feel ripped off of a good sum­mer, which never smiled upon NYC this year. How­ever, now that I’ve got some time to just sit and relax a bit, I do feel more cheer­ful than what the growl­ing winds out­side warrant.

I fig­ured out my home page did need a major revamp­ing. An abstract design and fluid lay­out was long due and came out as a good exer­cise to get the wheels rolling back. So, here is the new snap­shot (cre­ated using thum­bal­izr).

From my first design (can’t find the snap­shot right now), I think I’ve pro­gressed well in inter­face design­ing. Although I am get­ting more exper­i­men­tal with pho­to­shop, I’m far from ‘com­fort­able’. I should buy that PS tips and tricks book soon. My recent love hap­pens to be in the field of typog­ra­phy — known as ‘art of types and glyphs’ or ‘font styling’ in very sim­plish terms. The type aes­thet­ics can make all the dif­fer­ence to the look and feel of a plain vanilla web­site with­out a sin­gle image. This, in part, incited me to choose a typo­graphic theme for my Moon­struck blog, which I’ve fully ded­i­cated to poet­ries now. Moon­struck means mentally deranged, supposedly by the influence of the moon; crazed; dreamily romantic or bemused. I thought it applied well to ghaz­als and their phi­los­o­phy. I hope you like the blog’s design or its lack thereof.

I have a lot to write about that I couldn’t jot down over past few months includ­ing juve­nile court tri­als expe­ri­ence in con­nec­tion with a non-profit org (AGYP), MBA déjà vu, more web tricks, lus­ter­less post US Open ten­nis sea­son, polit­i­cal dol­drums in Pak­istan, Obama’s Nobel prize and the movie ‘Amadeus’. To fol­low soon. I hope you have had a won­der­ful time since you last vis­ited here!
