Chapter 1 - Advance Party in Pindi : The advance Party of me, Linda, Matthew and Anisa got to Pakistan a week before the rest of the group.  We had not too much time to get Trekking permits, food, handle logistics and get everything in order for the rest of the team to move without the delay.  Saadia, Zaby and Daany timed their visit for the same time to creat the greatest amount of "rownak" or happy activity around the house.  We got to go to Trek 3 for a training hike and then to Murree for a nigher altitide hike at 8000 feet.

Chapter 3 - Skardu and the Jeep Ride to Thungol : A Boeing 737 that was being flown like an F-16 swooping and banking as it came in for a landing. A picturesque hotel on the cliffs overlooking the Indus in high flood.  A jeep ride on narrow trails clinging to the mountainside and through swollen streams where our guides had to construct fords to create passage. Scrambles on a precipitious ledge with the Braldu below or what we fondly called "the jaws of death", and finally Thungol, our first campsite.

Chapter 2 - The Team Gathers : The day before we are supposed to head out to Skardu, the remainder of the team start coming in.  I drive to Lahore to pick up Rich, Tanya, Erin and Jeff who come in from JFK and Ignacio flies in to Islamabad from Mexico via London.  We try to fly to Skardu on the 9th of August but the flight is cancnelled after we are all checked in and mentally ready to go.  It did however five our folks a little time to decompress before going on another whilrwind trip.  It also helped that Saadia whipped up a great brunch on our return from the airport.  The rest of the day was shopping, visiting ATM's and going out to dinner at BarBQ Tonite.

April 2006 Training Camp : Now I am doing monthly visits to make sure the team is tracking to the plan.  The goal in this visit was to get some good numbers for time trials to see which events we can be competitive in.  The athletes did ergometer testing as well as extensive seat racing and time trials.  Zaheer got very good at getting the information plotted so the athletes could see it.  We finally started to break ground on the ergometers where almost half of the athletes go their personal best while everybody got the best score of the season.  The sweep boats are still not going as fast as I would like, but the double sculls are really moving along.

National Team Training - November 2005 : I coached the Pakistan Rowing Team for 10 days.  This band of two dozen athletes are drawn from the Army, Navy, WAPDA and Colleges and made some impressive improvements.  I also gave a coaches clinic for aspiring and current coaches.  Zaheer Ahmad was crucial to getting things to run smoothly. Rizwan was the man behind the scenes who got all the events organized.

Karachi Boat Club : In November 2006, I was able to go our for a day to see the Pakistan Team row out of the Karachi Boat Club in preparation for the Asian Games in Doha.  In the evening I got to see Kiran and Sama row.  They were coached by Linda in the summer for the Junior Asian Games.  All of this was arranged by Arif Ikram, the genius behind the revival of rowing at KBC.  It was wonderful to see the hustle and bustle at the club as boys and girls got on the water.  KBC has an impressive set of new shells and oars, and is hosting an international regatta in December.

My Sketches : I'm not an artist but sometimes when I am in a good mood or when I am stressed up then I do draw sketches here and there on the pieces of paper, just to be binned later on. But sometimes I do like some ideas behind those drawings and I keep them to be uploaded later on, on my website. It's only since the end of last year (2006) that I have begun to draw more and more - couple of sketches per month. I feel that I have got the artistic germs but I don't know whether at this age (in my 40's) I will have the time and the patience to develop it any further!
