Hi All,

As 2008 says bye tonight, I thought of posting some crap here to kill some time early morning

It has been a neutral year for me all 2008 with many good things happening and some struggle to get things rolling.

Early 2008 I was shuttling between cochin and chennai working with finest musicians in south India. Working for my latest malayalam album was very exciting. Though it haven’t seen light, 2 years of expectation is still exciting me

I came back to Dubai on 15th January 2008 and since then I’m with the business here.

February was when I received mail from Molilim Yacoub, the canadian musician I worked with for the single Show Me Love. 2-3 discussions and 5 nights of sleepless efforts. Joining with Lyricist Karthik Chandan from Bangalore, we made an amazing song.

July 5th a well wisher mailed me saying that someone is releasing an album in Kerala titled Violet , the proposed name for my latest album. And so, I’m still in a process of renaming it before release.

August was my birthday month. No big celebrations. I normally don’t celebrate though. Ended up ordering KFC and eating them with cousins…lol

Today I got options for my new site logo. I’m starting to brand myself online . Getting a arabic calligraphy done to be my logo. I got 2 options today. Will decide and work on something for website. I’m still confused if I should go for a black n dark theme or white elegant one as I have now. but one thing for sure, I will have full flashed website, hopefully.

Adobe released the CS4 with loads of new features…best thing technically helping me this year hehe

This year Dubai ruler has ordered to cancel all new year celebrations because of the crisis in Palestine. So be at home and hope for the best in 2009

Happy New Year
Ifthikar Ali
