About Lil Ole Me

Smiling JehanMy name is Jehan Ara. I am a person of average intelligence who can best be described as a pretty good human being, a communicator, an entrepreneur, a mild activist, a believer in the general goodness of people and an optimist.

I was born in Karachi but moved to Hong Kong as a child. It was in that vibrant and fast-moving city that I grew up. The kind of things that Hong Kong stamped on me were:

- a real appreciation for good food
- the importance of hard work, and
- the value of time (mine and everyone else’s)

If there is anything remotely angelic in my character, I owe it all to my mother who was the nicest, kindest and most beautiful human being on the face of this planet. She always wore a smile (even during the times when she was in pain due to the state of her health) and had a wonderful sense of humour. She had a kind word to say about everyone she met and her patience and compassion knew no bounds. We were lucky to have had a mother who taught us the basic lessons of love and sacrifice.

My father must be held responsible for teaching us the essential values of integrity, hard work, loyalty and commitment. Stories of his generosity and his hospitality have spread far and wide. Many a time I run into people in the course of my work who inform me that they have had the pleasure of staying at our home in Hong Kong. Should I tell them, I wonder, that the traffic through our apartment would put the traffic on our freeways to shame?

Amongst my vices, topmost is the pleasure I get in bestowing gifts on family and friends – this has earned for me the nickname “Santy Claus”.

What do I enjoy? I love to write, to talk, to read, to listen to music, to watch movies and go to the theatre whenever I get a chance. I love to travel – see new towns and cities, experience different cultures. I am a gadget freak and especially love everything “Apple”.

I am passionate about anything I undertake – whether it is the branding of P@SHA, the planning of an event, the development of a product, cooking a meal, counselling, working with younger people, or taking on a cause and pursuing it to the limits.

Amongst the things I fail to comprehend are the instincts in people to bring each other down, to be unhappy at the success of others, their inability to unite towards the achievement of a common cause and their selfishness in the pursuit of commercial or monetary gain.

Does this make me a social entrepreneur? I don’t know. I don’t like labels. All I know is that whatever I do, it needs to ignite in me a passion, an interest, a sense of achievement, of pleasure – a need that goes beyond mere monetary benefit.

    love the title!!! :D

    Love the page layout!! I met Jehan in my third year at college (she was a final year student). The meeting was verrry interesting, but a separate story on its own. After an initial comic setback, we became the best of friends and have remained so ever since. At some point on this friendship path, we decided to become sisters and the bond has remained strong despite the miles or oceans separating us; when my cjhildren were born, she naturally beacme the godmother for both.

    Jehan, you are a wonderful person, a true friend, a lovely human being and the best sister ever!!

    I read an article about Jehan, and decided I had to meet this woman!! She was 100% better than her write up. It’s been a pleasure, a privilge and an experience working with her in various capacities. Being a newcomer to Pakistan, there were many dissapointments,but people like Jehan renew my hope. Sharing her magic through the blog is a great idea!

    Hi. Frankly this is the first time I am going through this site and honestly I came across this link through casually browsing the net since today seems to be an extremely slow day at work. I like the way you have described yourself and your background here in a very casual funky manner which gives an image of the sweet bright girl next door. I came directly to this page and was captivated with what I read so dont have much of an idea as to what this entire site is about so i guess i’ll stop dialect here and browse your web. Cheers!

    I think the idea should be to expanding rather than limiting our vision. The idea should be to look out rather waiting for people to approach an organization (like yours). I am sure that there are a countless folks who wander off into nothingness right beneath our noses.

    I personally think (and i can be wrong here) the organizational structure follows ‘occupation’ strictly, where by grouping takes over ‘teaming’ and that in turn clogs the flow of something innovative.

    Those are just thoughts from a troubled head that is expanding, in one way or the other (and your write up had me tearing emotions :p/just a joke/).

    On a personal note, I appreciate the vision you have and you as a person.

    Hey Jahanara;

    I accidently stumbled upon your website and was glad to find about your exciting blog space. Well, the reason that I am writing this post is to seek your guidance in communicating and assisting the I.T. industry of Pakistan.

    I am an employee with the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan, Government of Pakistan and am assigned with the newly established Services Export Development Cell. I am an MBA by qualification, a brand strategist by passion and a trade marketeer by profession. TDAP is now seriously looking into developing and promoting the services exports of Pakistan.

    In this vein, we would like to meet the stakeholders of the I.T. sector. If you can kindly suggest the names of the people who we should meet to get a wholistic view of the industry, its problems, its challenges, and obviously how it wants the government to help it out.

    Hello,

    Hi Im Ahad a Flash Platform Evangelist, and *Ruby on Rails Developer from Karachi Pak.

    Would you help me promote the Rails Development Stack here in Pakistan? Heres how you can do that:

    1. Post a screencast on your blog.
    2. Find out where you could help me post screencasts (CIO, other blogs etc etc)

    I believe in Rails (Twitter is based on Rails) and its an amazing development environment, all being controlled by the Command Prompt. Thus you can even add users to your database via the command line.

    If you could help me promote it that would be great indeed (being that you are GENUINELY interested in the growth of Pakistan and its people)

    Two other points here off the topic but related to your post.:

    1. We need to understand the fundamental concepts before heading into the meat. I.E. – if you cant design CSS based layouts how can you succesfully use Javascript or JS based Frameworks (SproutCore, *Merb, etc etc)

    2. People with a small minded and selfish approach DO NOT:

    - Spend the time to learn the job well.
    - Never gain the deep statisfaction of doing the job really well.
    - Never give anything back.

    There is a huge talent here, but its about refining that talent and doing it the right way. After all skills are cultivated over years and not months.

    Though our project didn’t work good that time but we really were impressed with your great humble personality. I also remember, you showed me your new apple mac.i.e. iMac.

    Assalamalkium
    One thing we share in common is Gadgets! but i go for reading about it in any new invention and find its implications!

    And one of my inspiration in life is to meet people whom what they are, the courage they carry, and want to know what inspires them in life and what drives them among all odds. Would like to meet you some time! and learn more;

    I have read many biographies in my early studying days, one thing i found common is focus and commitment towards whatever that inspired people. Thomas Addison after thousands of failed attempts became successful to invent Bulb. Lucky to read so many books and had the moment to analyze. On a different note want to do something about coming generations, What I sense in our society / Pakistan everything is competition, starting from primary studies, one kid never realizes until he/she meets the people abroad and finds there are other things in life better then competition. I try my level best to open up minds of students whom i meet and get inspiration from people like yourself and many figures like Dr. Ata ur Rehman, Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, Akio Morita (SONY) my Father Zameer Mirza Rizki Famous Architect, my father inlaw Abul Khair Kashfi, Quad-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah. and many more!! Perhaps i suggest to start a topic to read about whom and if you could share few more names to read.
    Best wishes

    hello,

    Been a keen follower for a number of months but this is only the first time i’ve actually posted here.. goes without saying that you’re doing a brilliant job!

    Having been really interested in the market on mobile initiatives in Pakistan recently i thought i’d check to see if anybody else has more information on an upcoming (presumably) solution by MCB Bank.. Haven’t been able to get my hands on the solution, but the URL is http://www.mcb.com.pk/mcbmobile/

    Anybody else here know more about this? I really like the website though (and the ‘app’ that springs up if you click Login).

    Dear Jehan,
    Thank you for the quote from Breakfast at DAWN… I was pleased to see that it caught your attention, and through this blog, of many others too!!! (in case you are wondering I am talking about the Qurbani quote!)

    Hi
    I am a journalist and content writer from Mumbai. My family is originally from Karachi and it is so wonderful to find so much blogging activity there. I feel we here live in our own pond are blinded by what the official media tells us about Pakistan…surely though bloggers we can connect better to get a complete picture

    This Video clip belongs to the AAJ TV morning transmission in which Pakistans young Scientist / Graphics Designer / Scale Modeler / 3D Animator & Teacher Syed Adnan Ahmed Subzwari was invited as a Proud Pakistani.

    In this Clip he has shown his talent to the whole nation specially his research work in the free energy field. He claims that he has designed a fuel less engine which can help Govt. of Pakistan in the energy sector.

    Adnan has a very impressive background in different fields and he has received so many national & international awards

  • 74. Muhammad Bilal  |  July 26, 2009 at 3:33 pm

    We are very glad to see your biography, blog, and activities. If we get a few more like you, I think we can have some good news coming out of Pakistan as well, rather than just the depressing stuff on regular TV.

    I appreciate your hardwork, dedication you are putting in to promote talent from Pakistan, which is a thing, we badly need to show the world, that we are capable to do Non-Destructive things. :)

    Best wishes

    [...] it comes to blogging to send a little bit of MAS your way, no one does it better than my friend Jehan. Now if only some of my other missing in action friends (yes, this means you Adnan), would wake up [...]

    What a delightful blog this is…its good to know you on twitter and even better to be reading your blog :) Please keep up the good work…All the best.

  • 79. Irfan Akram  |  September 8, 2009 at 3:33 pm

    I know that your are the president of PASHA, but that is not a full time job, or is that? You did not mention which software/IT company you own? I was kind of interested in knowing that. It should have been part of this post.
    I have just watched your interview with Badar Khushnood and really loved it. Keep writing!

    Since I found your blog on Twitter, I have been visiting it quite often. I would like to appreciate your efforts to strengthen the image of Pakistan in the World in general and particularly in the IT industry. For the last couple of years Pakistan can now rub it’s shoulders with the leading IT outsourcing nations, because of the tremendous improvement in the communication technologies in Pakistan and good work done by some top IT firms and individuals. And no doubt, now we have some world class bloggers, as well!
