There was a water. For me, I haven't been quite accustomed to sitting in offices, and sitting with minds whose body is not in sync with their mindful desires. I'll give you an example. Since my 1st primary school, I was in this giant facility which looked somewhat hideous and old-fashioned and in that building I was drawing Ford cars and stuff like that. I was also playing Need For Speed games at that time. Because of nature of things I was exposed to and my limited exposure to a limited kind of art since my childhood, which were video games especially Need For Speed. I remember when I was in First Grade or One Class, I was I think 6, 7 or maybe 8 years old something like that and I played Need For Speed 2 and I was exposed to a Ferrarri in Need For Speed 2. So Need For Speed Underground came and I was blown away by the concept of customization and my first computer "mentor" was actually my 2nd cousin, Awais. But he was in his teenage and I could barely walk when I used to sit with him and actually see what he was doing and how. I had no idea how cars worked and of course I didn't know things like friction and Sadi Carnot's engine theory and things like Photons and thermal energy at the time, but I just drew those cars to perfection and added simple features to refine the design. It strikes me that many of my own relatives forgot the original Aaliyan. One day I had an Uncle named Touseef say to me, "Can you draw? I don't know how your drawing is so I won't trust you for this job". What? Seriously? I mean, me Aaliyan Zahid, born with a sketch pad and a pencil in his mouth. My father draws very well and he actually sketched mom and gave the portrait as a gift before the wedding. And literally, you'd laugh, Mom wrote in her journal [I read it], "I wanted to marry an artist and God listened to my prayer". OMG! Anyways, this is getting personal. Thankfully, with enough exposure, I got to sit on a Mazda RX-8 and even a BMW M3 GTR and at the time, I was freaking playing Need For Speed Most Wanted (2005) so seeing those cars and fucking sitting on them was like Dream come true. Then, actually one of our elders owned a hoodless car and I remember a memory from past that I'm on a road, maybe on Islamabad, and the car is hoodless, pink and my head is out of the ceiling, which of course didn't exist so I was standing. The road was long and weather somewhat looked like Sunny and you know all the fancy weather effects. There are two things that are so common in Pakistan and yet none of our adults have any idea what their child goes through: Gaming. The Gaming industry is sooo huge in Pakistan. And literally 90% of youth is most misunderstood here. Kids get good grades and parents think their children are set for life.
Anyways, in the recent years I shifted my focus towards mind and body parallel to each other. One thing I would like to see in Pakistan is that more and more Startups like DailyBurn. Actually Trivago, an Indian Airbnb-like web-based Startup, is giving adverstisements here on Pakistani T.V. DietBet.com is another start-up. But there are many constraints to fitness industry in Pakistan. I won't go into them but I'm happy that gyms and Internet is helping popularize the idea of keeping your mind and body fit.
Okay, let's switch focus for a second. Let's say a thing, say, Gameball is here. What is Gameball? Using MUGAPP model (Multi-geographical All-Purpose Power solution) and super-conducting violent vibration generator, we can hook up engineers from China and maybe Thailand or Malaysia or Singapore, and then actually a video game plus the Gameball, and in that Video game the sub-marine had all sorts of cool parachutes in it. It will have a web-browser of its own, like the kind we have in Grand Theft Auto IV, and actually the game would give the most private gaming experience ever. Since Private means immersive, so that submarine game would have some elements of Second Life to it (ahem). It would also have a gym, like in GTA: San Andreas, and players would be even able to put stakes if they don't workout and see and compete with other players online by getting the most badges a player can have. Then the game would have a portable version, like FIFA, and it could be played on mobile phone. It would also have VR mode, in which you get an experience the words here cannot describe. In other words, the most entertaining and change-inducing cultural Phenomenon ever in third world countries. Maybe, like Second Life, we would have virtual millionares with fit characters and even players could innpu their real life numbers in the game as they track numbers, like Body Fat percentage or things like Waist-to-Hips WHR ratio and Waist-to-Shoulders WS ratios etc. The other thing is it would have it's own respawn and players would start naked on an unknown island, like the game ARK: Survival Involved, and using a feature called "Ka Boom" players would be able to slowly develop all the luxuries of land (LOL) on any ocean or location they get intially (although they may travel). Think of such game a combination of Waterworld and Transformers: The Last Knight alien ship, which later surfaced when Nemesis Prime stole the staff from Vivienne or Vivianne.
