Behind the Curtains – Across the Lines…

IBITIANS.com is just a thought provoking & awareness creation effort especially for young generation of Pakistan to collect and write whatever could be in benefit for everyone. Moreover, the self actualization and moral character building along with information.

In fall 2003, when I joined Punjab University Lahore, I thought that a platform should have which may serve purposefully to institute’s 1000’s of students. Then I started IBITAINS @ YAHOO! GROUPS, Which got good success as far as an educational group is concerned, where members’ efforts were involved to promote it as well. But Later, as time evolved, I started feeling that there are issues around us; which people especially young generation over the internet should know. They should think about real problems of Pakistani society, which may help towards a better Pakistan.

img233/3839/fb14ry9.jpgAs time passed by, many things got change, my studies ended by there, I joined an organization for my economic needs, but this group phenomenon urged me always, to do ’something more’ because the readership and access for the group were limited, and there was certainly a need for a broad medium. Me, instead of writing or preaching just used my Urdu editorials reading habit and directed the selected articles towards readers with respect that they are better analyzers and writers.

Also I would like to mention few events & personal source of inspirations. 1st I saw an Indian Movie… Rang De Basanti (Aamir Khan starer) It was such an issue based movie, which I think having common background of struggle against the British for an ideological land and a sheer level of patriotism, in it, inspired me to perform my ‘role’ according to my capabilities and domain. Then it was suspension of Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry by that time dictator Pervez Musharraf, which filled many of us with anger and frustration. Then the events which took place like 12th of May Massacre in Karachi & the blood-shed incident of Lal Masjid, Jamia Hafsa which actually determined the parameters of BTC-IBITIANS.

This brought IBITIANS.com in to being, as you know it today, just an effort from me to mostly collect and write whatever could be in benefit for everyone with the norms of our religion and society. Since launch IBITIANS.com has been a success story all over the world especially in Urdu knowing community. So July 1st 2007, was the date when this site came into being, although domain was registered a long ago… but finally I managed sometime and resources to start this project. Especially I would like to mention and thanks to Daily Express, Daily Jang, Daily Ummat, BBC Urdu & 100’s of others resources whose website made my work easy… as all of the hard works and efforts are done by their original teams after the writers and I am acting just as a collector and publisher.

In this website, I published thoughts concerning the ins and outs of defining and describing the situational experience of Pakistan. People write frequently about the future of Pakistan but also sometimes the past. And there are times I find it irresistible to delve into Literature, books especially poetry or even social issues in general.

IBITIANS.com is not only serving as a collection of beautiful Urdu columns & articles, but also expanding our national language horizon through internet. In short, mission is to help make sure that you can find and read latest information as seamlessly as possible. I look forward to get your prayers, attention and hearing suggestions on what would you would like to see me cover. Dive in, there’s plenty to read…!

  • amna Said:

    It was tiering day when I was feeling very down due to exertion and monotonus pace of mmy studies when I strat searching on google for good literature that I can read. I enjoy reading good literature but was unable to mantain my this habit due to my studies for last 7-8 years. I found Peer-e-Kamil(PBUH) on your web site and the name and preface attracted me. And then I read it in 5 hrs in asingle setting; and my opinion changed. Two weeks ago while looking for books of bano qudsia i saw few books of Umaira on liberty books and ignored, thinking it must be a unrealistic, ordinay romantic story that I hate to read. however, There is an 360 degree change in my opinion now.it also opened a new door of thinking for me.
    I like to appreciate the afforts of your whole team.I found your web site pretty different from others. Thanks!
    Due to lack of time I could not regulary seach ur website. could it be possible that I can have some regular email regarding whats coming up new here? Or Is there any way to be in touch to ibitians.com via my email adress? though my questions sounds a little bit unpractile but I know that possible for IT experts.
    Jazak-Allah

  • amna Said:

    If u have email add of Umaira ahmed, kindly pass it to me.

  • Ghouri Said:

    @ Amna

    No confirmation but probably…

    umera_ahmed (a) yahoo.com & umera_ahmed (a) gmal.com or try with dot instead of ”_” this is what i found from UA’s interview to some feminine magazine.

  • Ghouri Said:

    @ Amna…

    All praise and Glory to Allah.. its nothing just an Humble from me effort for the people, somehow to contribute or return to society and Allah knows what we show or hide. If you like this effort, you can help just by refereing it to as many people you know.

    Its nice to know that finally you managed sometime, and inshaAllah you will find this site more useful and interesting, and your questions are not unpractical, as we have already this service, if you browse at the end of the page the ‘footer’ section, where you can see and option to enter your mail, for subscription to updates, it actually send you a single mail in 24 hours containing the latest updates in site.. whichever interests you, just click and read… no updates.. no emails, i entered your email already.. just approve/confirm the link which you might have received in your mail and you will be on your way!

    anything else, you wana ask or share, or something you wana read.. just let me know!

    Thanks and cheers!

    Keep Reading, Keep Visiting, Keep Sharing!

  • amna Said:

    Wonderfull! thanks for reply.
    I like these efforts and i hope this web site will remain a healthy source of intertainment and learning.
    This is actually my last year of fellowship and MSc clinical research with very busy and tight schedules. I would definitely try my best to get some time to be in touch with ibitians.com.
    I would like to contribute for this site once my study year would finish.

    Allah hafiz

  • amna Said:

    I have’nt visited ur website completely and would clear my querries once explre it!
    How do u mange running this website that not only requires time but some financial support as well?

  • Ghouri Said:

    @ Dr. Amna

    Thats great news.. May Allah give you ease and facilitate you for your academic and career excellence. And you are always more than welcome to do write whatever you want, there is a separate contributor section… and ibitians.com readers surely like to see another addition in it. Keep praying for it untill…

  • Ghouri Said:

    I told you, its Allah Who manages all, both financially and resources wise… As i described above in About that I started keeping in mind only to Play my part.. as a cause you can say.. not like one of those “What we can do alone” so me too is really unable to DO anything, so i thought that at least one thing I can do.. contribute online with some thought provoking material and give the youth and Pakistanis something healthy to spend their time over the internet, while not making it preaching, or boring or way to heavy ….so this came into being and Alhadulilah, success.. as up to 3000 posts are read daily :) keep praying, all I want if you like it.. share the links of the posts with your contacts, in facebook, orkut or other site.. another service is add it to digg or stumbleupon or another bookmarking service if you have account there. I do my job and manage the site mostly prime time, late night or at weekends… its hard but somehow things are moving, as i told you :) Allah hai na!

  • Farooq Tahir Said:

    So here i have found an old buddy! Bro, i m from the F01 batch, the pioneers of IBIT and i remember your stage performance on the stage in the fare well party. That was great. you are an artist and have multi talents in you. I dont know whether you remember me or not but i still remember you as a naughty and a jolly fellow. Just to give you a hint I was the 1st captain of IBIT’s cricket team and we won the very 1st university trophy for IBIT.

    Tc and regards

    Farooq

  • Ghouri Said:

    ya i remember many of the people from 1st batch and at least there faces. Nice to meet u bro, so i think you must be happy to see the ibitians name live and shiny :) the reference of trophy is enough to recall your pic, so wats ya doing now a days… hope to be settled well.., i am, as i was, naught n jolly :) but now people dont let me perform :P hehehe, few fellows suggesting me to join media thingy, which i am seriously considering, anyhow let see what Allah has plans for us, meanwhile you keep reading, keep sharing and keep visiting ibitians.

    thanks and best wishes

  • Farooq Tahir Said:

    Asalaam-o-Alaikum!!!

  • sundas Said:

    Assalamualikum!
    a great site. you are gathering such a bounty of prayers, Mashallah. that’s a reward in itself, u know. add my duas and good wishes to ur share, bro.
    1 is a very powerful number. every no. adds to it. May Allah keeps His blessings topped upon u. AAmeen.

  • sundas Said:

    one thng more, as a student how can one help Pakistan? studying,yes but that’s a mundane, must-do affair.and frankly, i can’t consider education of this time as a very mind-challenging, thought-provoking, creative past-time.
    the thing is when u are reading and listening to such horrific, disturbing things going on, it becomes frustrating to sit and do nothing.
    a little advice will not go wasted, Inshallah :) .wassalm.

  • Ghouri Said:

    @ sundas

    Thanks for wishes, keep praying, I dont like to give advices to people, because of 2 things, 1… I am not that much knowledgeable person to do so… 2… I am not yet too old to do so… :P

    Any how you asked about Pakistan… simple, help Pakistanies, hmmm Share, whatever you could, a piece of knowledge, a tissue paper, a smile, a bread from your dining table, and a should with someone to sympathy…. help others in small, routine matters, be available, thats all!

    PS: One man can make a ‘difference’.. we have heard that… and you also know it very well, ….

    you just have to explore WHERE….

  • Nouman Said:
