Weblog featuring high-quality editorial commentary
Announcements
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, my second daughter – Sophie Khan Pitafi
Feb 28th
Sorry folks for not having updated the website for long. I have been very busy not only owing to my professional engagements but also because our second daughter was expected. I am pleased to announce that Sophie Khan Pitafi is now with us. Born on February 23 she had to endure a lot of trouble. Doctors took a while to identify the source of her sickness. Finally after admitting her it was learnt that she suffered from congenital pneumonia. After five days of rigorous treatment she has been discharged with a taxing condition that we have to take her to the same hospital twice a day with each visit lasting more than an hour. I am sure within no time she will be just as fine as our Oxana. My these two little angels are my world and my family has finally been completed.
This definitely explains a lot about my absence from the blogosphere. However now I am back and soon new posts will start appearing. Please don’t forget to pray for Sophie’s health and if you want to catch more of Sophie I have added some more pics of my daughter on my facebook account. In case you have not seen it in my contact details please visit my FB account through this link: http://www.facebook.com/people/Farrukh-Khan-Pitafi/666098627 .
Needed Contributors, Moderators and Advertisers
May 21st
Hello folks,
I have created two new projects for my readers’ interest. First is a forum that I have already mentioned in a previous post. This forum aspires to discuss everything under the sun. What I need now is moderators and discussants. Please join the forum (www.pitafi-forum.clanteam.com) and if you are interested in being a moderator choose the section you like and drop me a line in the section. I can promise you that it will be quite a forum after all. Since there is considerable space available by joining you can also benefit from the blogs hosting service. Currently the domain names are a bit lengthy yet I am doing my bit to shorten them as quickly as I can.
Likewise the review blog has migrated to a new home. You can access it at www.review.clanteam.com. I need contributors for the site. If you think you can write good reviews please visit the site and let me know at review@pitafi.com. Please note that the site will not feature voluntary contributions only. There is a probationary period of two months to assess the readers’ response to your contributions. Once that period is complete competitive emoluments will be offered for your contributions. We plan to develop this project into a full blown online and print review magazine. So why waste time?
And finally regarding my original site www.pitafi.com. The site is drawing drawing quite a lot of visitors now. Someone suggested that I should introduce Pakistani advertisements on my site. So I am opening my site for the direct advertisers. Just in case you are interested to advertise here, in order to learn about the diverse nature of visitors here, the visitor stats and pricing all you have to do is to drop a line at advertise@pitafi.com. You can choose to advertise on all the above mentioned sites at the same time. Any queries are most welcome.
Launching my review blog
Apr 18th
Owing to my readers’ growing demand I am launching my review blog. The main purpose of launching this separate blog, albeit hosted on the same server, is to create a permanent niche for the review material I generate apart from the politico-social content hosted on this weblog. Please click here to view the new blog.
Let us face it. I am no Michiko Kakutani or Anthony Gottlieb. I am a simple Pakistani writer with a shaky pen despite lofty ambitions. Needless to say I am a huge fan of both of these authors. On this blog you’ll find my reviews of books, movies, music, lectures and similar stuff. While most of the posts will treat a single product I may also from time to time add my general review essays here too. And by the way you are most welcome to contribute to the blog. I will be adding also reviews by others here too. If you write something good send it to: review@pitafi.com .
Blog aggregators kindly note the blog specifics.
The permanent address of the blog is: http://pitafi.com/review
The site’s posts feed is available through link: http://pitafi.com/review/feed
The site’s comments feed is available through link: http://pitafi.com/review/comments/feed
I’ll be obliged if this site is added to your aggregator too.
Regards
