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

I travelled 45 days in different parts of the world since last 45 days
and i found multiple answers to many questions.
I found that everyone in the world wants to be different, yet be the same.
I found tha we are all exactly the same no matter which countr we are from.
You can categorize people into different kinds of people, shrude,
sweet, humble, macho, sweet, swarrow, scared, friendly.
I found same kind of people in all countries, no matter how much we
think we are better or worse than others we are the same.
You take a person from anywhere in the world and put him in a family
from another part of the world, and the result will be almost the
same, but the thing is, do we know what the result have been in the
other place, i think the personality is the same, the knowledge,
circumstances, and culture distrupts the results in the people.
I wish that we could put the world in a shaker and get people to be
part of familes from other parts of the world, and we would become so
much alike.
Language is one of the biggest challange that keeps us far, and i
think that the internet and google, and facebook is going to bring us
all humans much closer to each other, and those who will take
advantage of the best of the things around the world instead of
attacking and fighting will be most financially and otherwise
scusessfull.
Knowledge is what makes us who we are, i was thinking today why the
first ayat was, kul, with the name of ur creator, and rabbi zidni
ilma.
Our brain is capeable of doing 100 times not 100% more, we have to
train it, and let go of egos, hatered, jeliousy, and just have a huge
smile and love for all around us, and treat all equally, and we will
be living in a beautifull place.
People asked me how is Pakistan and i told them wonderfull.
It has all the best in the world, and the things that are not there
yet, are a opportunity for us to bring them to us and see how we can
enjoy small things in life together.
I saw this week people running , cycling and rollerblading on public
streets with police in front of them, enjoying, and i think it was
wonderfull.
I saw last night people hanging out on a hill at montparness, singing,
playing music, smoking having fun, and why cant we have that, does it
take money ? Or just a will.
Will share more….

I saw a great video today of an ad, it is below, i saw similar one in Malaysia and wanted to make, but was not able to, but today i am so happy to see this beautiful ad.
It shows how a good human must act like.
I hope you like it and share it with others also.
Then I tried to find who actually started this web site azme ali shan, but i was not able to , but it looks like an effort of Tahir Khan, Chairman of Interflow Advertising Agency, which also runs TV1 in Pakistan, and then I found his Launch speech below, which is beautiful and the correct direction for all poeple in the world.

A quick question, if I may and just for my understanding that why Pakistan
is always so vulnerable to such negative propagandas. For that matter, we
know Iran, Tunis, Saudi Arabia.all are Muslim countries and known to be
Internet black holes, and yes though Pakistan is also trying to become one
but nothing much in the press about these nations?
Not being an expert of ANY sort but just out of my personal experience, I
could write a thesis on the sorry state of internet access and how and who
is blocking further developments.
Why all these developments only for MAJOR CITIES. Is it Government’s
official policy to intrigue mass migration of population to large cities
seeking necessary basic amenities?
For that matter, my city is also listed among these 414 cities, where
Internet revolution is happening led by our very own PTCL. In papers, my
city actually has two broadband service providers but both of them truly
helpless due to one basic thing – age old copper wire infrastructure, which
PTCL never bothered to invest in. Just day before yesterday, I have been
refused a “Business DSL” by PTCL staff in Islamabad, plainly saying that we
cannot provide the service until network is renewed, which I know is not
going to happen for next 5 years as we have been hearing about it for last 3
years.
In this situation, wireless broadband seems to be an option but
unfortunately, this place is heavy on defense installations and there are
jammers here and there and will not let the signals get through in strength.
The solution PTCL officials gave me is to lay optic fibre at my own expenses
to the end-user point! Do you think it is a good idea? However, PTCL could
not provide me an estimate yet. I know, whatever it may be, I will not be
able to afford that. So all these tall claims are only good in papers or for
rhetoric in jazzy presentations. Please please please know that on the
ground situation is very different. That is why, we know that despite best
efforts, we are still struggling to increase internet user base in the
country. The city I am talking about has 3 major universities, huge defense
installations, and still vibrant industrial estate with almost 100% literacy
rate. And all this in the vicinity of maximum 10 kilometers.
I sincerely request now to please guide me that how can I get benefit of
booming internet revolution by PTCL and other service providers. I am ready
to pay Rs. 15,000 per month even for one mbps connection and if need be even
more but I need a stable connection. Wish I could afford my very own VSAT
Using my data stick (2-3 kbps max, when am lucky) I can only download
emails, continually praying that someone have not attached a heavy file J
This situation is also depriving me from the online courses I am taking.
By the way, who is blocking 3G or 4G in Pakistan? Is it Telcos or PTA
itself? Whosoever but unfortunately, citizens are not at the heart of this
decision making process. If you go see on the ground, this situation is not
only depriving citizens from development opportunities but also national
exchequer from billions of rupees of regular income.
Who to blame? Or just leave ourselves at the mercy of merciless decision
makers?
Thanks and best wishes
