Interview @ PakSpectator

I was interviewed by PakSpectator today. I think they are on bandwagon for taking the interviews. Interestingly Haroon Saeed had his interview published today as well. I am not sure if he recommended me or PakSpectator observed my fame from somewhere else

Usman Qutab going to Microsoft

I have been away from the blog for some time and there has been a lot happening. Usman Qutab was here in Dubai last month for Microsoft Interviews and we had a great time together.

The good news is that he got selected as SDET in Windows Live Team. I think he will be moving to vancouver first and then to seattle. Usman is the first person from our group (infact our batch) to be selected for Microsoft.

Congrats Usman, may you prosper further in your life. Keep us posted about your work and exciting stuff you will be working on.

Heart Surgery Pioneer Died

Michael E. DeBakey, 99, the father of modern cardiovascular surgery, who invented scores of medical procedures and instruments, developed the Mobile Army Surgical Hospital and established what later became the Veterans Affairs hospital system, died July 11 at Methodist Hospital in Houston. The hospital did not release the cause of death, but he had undergone heart surgery in 2006.

DeBakey stopped performing surgery at age 90, after more than 60,000 operations spanning a 70-year medical career.
