The naihar concept for food has been around for some time. Over time, we hope to have a full site up much like we did before.

Until then though, we bring you the naihar blog — a place to share food, of all kinds. Enjoy the pictures and comment away — we’ve integrated facebook commenting to make this an easy process.

Happy fooding!

The curse of a g33k. Ofcourse, I wouldn’t know anything about that…

Sysadmin to the rescue. Absolutely love it.

The March 18 movement started in honor of blogger Omid Sayafi, who died in Tehran on the same day in 2009. If you’d like to be a part of this movement, I suggest you follow on to this blogpost, giving you details on how to be involved, through videos and a PSA.

Bloggers across the globe are being imprisoned for writing posts that are deemed “blasphemous” or are accused of “spreading false information harmful to the country.” On my sidebar are examples of just two out of the hundreds of bloggers worldwide who are currently serving sentences. Below is a brief of a campaign defending the right to freedom of speech on blogs:

The food wasn’t expectional, but the decor was interesting.

So another year has come and gone. Honestly, this year, I had no expectations. Outside of going to buy myself a new desk chair, no presents were in line either.

It started around 11:40 p.m. when some of my twitter buddies started their countdown to the birthday, and happy birthday songs exploded at midnight — an extremely pleasant surprise.

Followed by a morning breakfast and my day couldn’t have been better. While it didn’t entirely get much better due to a hospital visit at the end of the day, the wishes and messages definitely made me smile.

Fast forward to Geekfest 2.0, the following night, where I got wished in person by a lot of tweeple, only to then be surprised by an ice-cream cake by someone who knew that I had to spend the previous evening at the hospital. Sometimes, you are surprised when you least expect it.

Thanks everyone!
