Thank you for stopping by on Rehan.com. I started my first venture (Pakistan Computers) in 1987, Used to do it for 3 hrs a day after school when I was 14, the business used to re-sell Commodore 64 Games :) and most of the people came to know me by Rehan Allahwala

Someone the other day called me a Facebook Rishtay wali Maasi, Some of them have deleted me and even blocked me because I refer to many people to them.
A Rishtay wali Maasi used to be a lady who connected 2 families to each other, for a possible Marriage between the 2 families, in the India-Pakistan arranged marriage region.
Why do I refer people to others?
I love the idea of what every single person in the world has to offer, be it religion, be it your country, be it work, or bet plain life.
Many in the world do not understand how is it possible, that how YOU think, and when we talk to them, they may understand and even accept our point of view, and spread love, peace and harmony in the world.
I use Facebook to spread this awareness and love.
These are not just profiles, they are people, you can add them in your Facebook, and go on with your life and let them just see how you are doing good in life, and this maybe will let them understand you, your religion, your country and your point of view.
If any one of them BOTHER U , simple, delete and block their profile.
hope u like the idea, and will start adding people.
My goal is to have 20 people from every country in the world, what is yours ?

Today in an hrs span I got messages like
tinyurl[dot]com/pofb3m/, 588715
I removed 2 of my friends, I thought it is a spam being sent to me, but it turns out that I am getting more of these.
I think there is a worm / Virus in facebook, which is sitting in browser, and attacking friends of our facebook profile, by sending ads like
tinyurl[dot]com/pofb3m/, 588715
Do not remove your friends, as probably they do not know about this.
Hopefully facebook will soon find out about this and fix it.

Now you can start using Facebook.com – the Largest Social Networking web site in the world in Urdu Language.
Though I personally am NOT a big fan of using Urdu on the Internet, as I feel it will limit the users into the same BOX that he is already in, however this no doubt will bring more masses of
Since this service is now just starting, you can not signup using Urdu Language ( YET)
To use Facebook in Urdu, you need to first signup on Facebook, and then go to
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/translations/?ref=ts

Then Select language as URDU, You have to scroll down a little.
Once you do this, Your Facebook will now be in URDU.
You can also make suggestions on some of the pages, that you see are still in English, and convert them in Urdu for Facebook People.
If you wan to switch back to English, Simply open the profile page of yours, and go all the way down.
There you will see the option to select language, and you can select English again.
Happy Facebooking!!

Importance of Communication:
For the last few months, Many people have been adding me, specially from Pakistan in Facebook.
I am happy to know them, however, when you have nothing written on your INFO page, and it does not show a picture, I do not know what to tell them, and what to do with them.
I do not really have time to chat with every one and ask them who they are, if that is what they seek, they should be adding some one else, not really me.
If you want to know me, go though my web site, my blog, and you will know me, if you want to interact with me, first know me, and then ask me but I am not really into small talk, have NO TIME for that
The other biggest problem I have with People is language, Today I was being messaged by a Masters in Public Health, Now I fail to understand how a person can be that if his language does not even indicate normal grammar of a matriculate person ?
It becomes very very annoying to understand, and communicate.
The problem is , if I remove them or say it to them, then they think I am a hard headed person with bad heart, and I have received messages from people saying so, that I am a very bad and mean person.
Life… Can not please every one can I ..

How to grow your Facebook Network.
When you signup on Facebook, Most people have almost no friends on their Facebook, and that makes Facebook very boring, You must have at least 100 people on your Facebook, to really enjoy it and make good use of it.
People who are new to the Facebook Networks and have some times on their hands to learn how it is done and to actually do grow their networks, there are my suggestions to them, on how they should do it.
1. Invite all your friends to Facebook via the Friend invite option, by entering their emails, even if they are already on Facebook, DO NOT use the add a friend option, but try to invite them via email.
2. Invite all your contacts on your emails to your Facebook from the Friends >> Invite Friends >>> Import Email Address
3. Find people of your own Family or Last Name, IE I am Allahwala so I found many allahwala on Facebook and some write it allawala so I looked and I found many.
4. Once you find your Family on Facebook, I strongly recommend you to add them to geni.com also, I will write another blog about geni, but it allows you to connect and network with your family, this way you can eventually see , how you are connected to your entire last name / Family world wide, and how though we seem to be very far, yet we are very very close to everyone.
Warning:
Please remember that Facebook WILL delete your account if you try to add more than 50 people a week on your network, again there is no written rule by them, but many have had to face it, and that is why I suggest NOT to add more than 100 people a month On Facebook.
Happy Networking
