My Blog: A Year of Greatness

Hi All

Yes, readers, time does fly by when you're having fun reading my blog. The month of July and the year 2006 do in fact mark the month of my one year blogging adventures anniversary. And here's now an outlook of what that means and where we've been:

I've taken you from my wannabe funny and witty initial entry to odes of my fish, a girl named Jessica, Nathan Vasher and Rex from Da Bears (and their last season), my own company, a very special ode to my Nani Ammi, and the highest of all to the most Precious and Beloved of all.

I've shared with you my personal thoughts on sufism, beautiful stories in Islam, stories of New York, stories of fishing, stories of horror and personal heroism and even moments of utter stupidity.

I connected you to my family by giving you some insight on my brothers (about 50% of my entries are created to make fun of their blogs or them in general and 90% of those aimed at Umar and his often boring entries), cousin's weddings and engagements. I invited you into my house with my Iftar Party. I even gave women the opportunity to be my wife.

I introduced you to Prince AH. To T-Man. To Google Video. To Junoon. To my basketball skills. To Texas & Islam.

I provided accounts on fatherhood without knowing what it really means. I put myself on the line by letting the world know about my dieting plans (note: I don't plan on a follow-up on that posting). I even told you other people's thoughts about me. And I would continue to give you Deep Thoughts by Imran Shakur.

So, the point is I've taken you pretty much everywhere I've been and inshaAllah will continue to do so ever in the name of my own self-given title: man.myth.legend.sufi.lover.fighter.punjabi.

To further commit myself to myself and of course you, I have now included two new things on the right-hand side of my blog: direct chatting abilities (I found this thanks to Kamran) and email subscription. Enjoy me always, folks, and continue to spread the word... ;)

Sincerely,

Imran: man.myth.legend.sufi.lover.fighter.punjabi.
