Mphtashim is a well known Seasoned IT Professional, and is contributing a lot to help improve the IT industry in Pakistan.
He is one of those individuals, I have found very creative with full of innovative ideas.
He is also one of those who are doing alot of hard-work and involved in many activities at the same time, and so he is ALWAYS BUSY!
I wish him GREAT LUCK…

Mohtashim, can you please write a review about our web portal (http://www.bastee.com), currently in beta. Please don’t mention my name because we are operating in anonymous mode because of being employed with different companies and can’t take the risk of disclosing the ownership. we are university graduates and aim to make it the best property site in Pakistan with very unique ideas we are planning to implement on incremental basis.
At this moment, we need scope and support to introduce our portal http://www.bastee.com to public. In the days to come, you’ll see more unique web products from our company platform, InshaAllah.
Regards
Waqas.

Mohtashim, amaana is aggressively hiring top engineering talent to move beyond Beta. How do we reach out to your audience and network to connect with the right people? Please shoot me an email back with your ideas. Thanks

Waqas, now the WHOLE WORLD knows! Dude, one would think you know you’re posting to a public forum!

Certainly a quick and focused refresher on the EyeTee happenings in the local scene. I usually drop by once or twice a week whenever I am reminded of it, been following it when it was living at WordPress.
Keep up the spirit Mohtashim, and though I not know them personally I have met Ghais and Nasir, and yeah a friend of mine Aamir Kidwai is associated with Inbox for quite some time now maybe in network deployment.
Anyways thats it for now, me getting back to fiddle around with Linksys WRTSL54GS in a desperate attempt to create a Wi-Fi blanket at my home.

Hey mohtashim,
I accidently stumpled upon your blog today, which was a nice incident btw, I dont think you’d remember me, but I was one of the guys at FRT, Lahore in its early days. Good to have found you here, I’ve subscribed to your blog at my RSS reader, and I guess, I’d be hearing a lot more news from you, coming from Pakistan.
Keep rocking.
