HammadUullah Shariff- famously known as Hammad Bahi ( not that typical Karachi bhai normally people are aquatinted to ;- ) This soul is purely an intimate people loving, gentle in nature and live and let live type.

Born on 12th April to a middle aged innocent looking migrated couple. Hammad spend his childhood in the outskirts of Karachi city. He completed his basic education from an area school and then went to a reputed Uni for further studies where he obtained his BBA degree.

Hammad's chilhood

Later in 2006 he joined the present Citrus Talent Modeling Agency as its young manager. ( till that time the Citrus Talent had not been formed and was totally dependent on one man-Fahad Hussain. Hammad's induction to the company which was running without a name til now, gave a huge work relief to the CEO Fahad Hussain and soon diligent Hammad Ullah Shariff became Alpha and Omega for Fahad Hussain. Hammad started adding new featured methods of marketing, innovative and advance though and soon the Wheel of Citrus talent train started getting speed and momentum in less than 2 years time.

Hammad's skillful tactics and accompanying CEO Citrus Talent Fahad Hussain in those drought dried days proved a turning point for the company. And soon advertisers flocked to the Citrus Talent office with multiple queries. Arguably Fahad's faith in Hammad during those days would always be considered a milestone in the short history of Citrus Talent.

With Citrus Talent, train of its manger's life also moved on, and April 2012 marked the wedding year of Hammad and the young lad turned into a mature man.

Hammad's love marriage strengthen the employees intra family ties further and the Company started to look more of a "One Unit" or family run business, though most of the employees were of diverse origins.

As Jawad ( Co-worker and Fahd's brother ) once said "The credit goes to this man who has kept us all as a team"

You may call his dedication to work and loyalty to the company or delay in Honeymoon ( as general peevish people may like to call it ), on his 1st wedding Anniversary Hammad took his bride to Bangkok on a Honeymoon and they spent like good three weeks on the beach, jolting great fun at the streams.

Hammad Ullah Shariff lost in deep thoughts

Before leaving for the honeymoon Hammad would tweet to his wife :

"I owe my wife everything i have till today, who has travelled from her country and conjuring everything for the sake of our love "Happy Anniversary".

'Two Muska Tears' a comedy play to easy your all tensions

Two Muska Tears' a comedy play to easy your all tensions


Being vigilant about your surroundings and staying up to date is a positive trait in a person. But most of us are normally either casual, careless or clumsy and hardly bother to look around us with a keen eye. Take an example, When the whole world was singing merry songs of PFDC in Lahore, another big event comparatively more relaxing and entertaining filtered from inside politics was going on in the city. But those who were updated, vigilant and smart knew about it and the rest would just rely on big "OOOOOz" regretting over their ignorance and clumsiness later when they would come to know of it. This event was a popular theater play "Two Muska Tears". The play accumulated huge applause and appreciation from the Karachi audience in Karachi few week back and was given extensive coverage by all media channels.

Murtaza Ahmed CEO Inspire, Ali Jameel CEO TPL Holding Company, Saad Nissar CEO TPL Direct Insurance

The play Two Muska Tears is a full of comedy play, a great opportunity to ease away your all tensions and depressing thoughts, be it a mouthful hatred words against a politician or frustration over your office colleagues, an irritating practice of standing in CNG queues or annoyances over long load shedding hours .The play will sure to refresh your mind and soul with plenty of laugh out and hilarious scenes.
The ArtTainment Production and professional skills of director Umar Sultan helped look the play 'a piece of art and mere talent playing epic'.

Mr. Saad Nissar CEO TPL Direct Insurance

Two Muska Tears is a story of two vagabond brothers, one who wants to become an actor while the other is struggling to find his standing in the singing world. The two brothers reside with their boasting aunt and a compliant uncle. The story takes a twisting turn when the brothers try to win over the new girl in the neighborhood though all their efforts go in vain.

'Two Muska Tears' a comedy play to easy your all tensions

The girl has come to Karachi to shoot a movie and the boys see this as a golden opportunity to fulfill their long awaited dreams. What happens next is a play full of suspense, joy and comedy for all the attendees.


The theater was hosted by Trakker Private Ltd (TPL) Holding Group in Lahore for its business partners and dealers at the Ali Auditorium on the 23rd and 26th of April followed by a finale show on the 27th with exclusive and elite invitations for the who is who of the town.

Playboy Club in Goa Controversy

The ever growing controversy of allowing a Playboy Club at Goa is once again in the news. This time the local of Goa govt. has plainly rejected the idea of allocating a corner the Playboy club. The Govt. says, such a step will promote vulgarity and profanity to the well in demand tourist site and may damage the image of the district.

Playboy Club in Goa Controversy.

Goa in India is the hub of Everything, staring from to beautiful bewitching sceneries to the deep waters of the sea, from drugs to human beauty, from women trafficking to clubs and parties. Allowing such moves will doubtless attract the tourist from around the world but at the same time it may devoid the pleasure to the general people of India.

Inian Navy officer's Wife swapping Scaandal

Drawn by his handsome looks and six-pack, IIT-Bombay graduate Sumedha (name changed) quit her Morgan Stanley career to get married only to see her dreams shattered within a few months. Not only did she witness her Navy officer husband in a compromising position with a senior officer's wife but was told that she too would have to be part of the "wife-swapping evenings" if she wanted her husband to keep his job. 
 

Inian Navy officer's Wife swapping Scaandal.

"When I saw my husband with the other lady I started to cry and question my husband. The woman instead shouted at me, slapped me and threatened me with dire consequences if I did not keep quiet," the 25-year-old said.

The Navy has flatly denied the allegations with defence minister A K Antony seeking a report on the matter.

Sumedha, who was living with her husband in Kochi, reached Delhi late on Thursday evening. Remarkably calm and collected, she recalled how her frantic calls to the Southern Naval Command, residences of Chief of Naval Staff and the defence minister went unanswered. Sumedha, who is preparing for her civil services, said 20-30% of naval officers indulged in wife-swapping. "There are parties every day and the women wear very revealing, almost vulgar clothes I found later that wife-swapping was common there," she said.
When asked how she could substantiate her allegations, Sumedha said, "I know what I have seen. There has been a complaint filed earlier about wife-swapping in 2011 on INS Dronacharya but the officers involved were posted out and the issue buried."

Sumedha, who has filed a complaint with the Harbour police station in Kochi and the Vasant Vihar police station in Delhi, said she was molested by senior officers in the presence of her husband. "I was bound down and molested my three of my husband's colleagues. My husband then threw me out of the house," she said.

She added that the only time her husband had shown remorse was when he told her that he had to indulge in this "wife-swapping" or he would lose his job. "Officers and sailors, they were all afraid to say anything or come to my rescue because they feared being thrown out of the Navy," she said.

When asked about allegations that she was mentally unstable, Sumedha said, "How can a marriage counselor certify my mental fitness. Anyway, where is the proof that I even went to a counselor?"

On the Navy's denial of her allegations, Sumedha said, "It doesn't matter what they say. I know the truth. I have already asked my lawyer to take up the issue with the police." She also claimed that she had been offered Rs 2 crore to settle the matter.

Defence minister A K Antony has sought a report from the Navy on the allegations even as naval officials said they had already launched a probe.
The defence minister's office, however, said they were yet to receive a formal complaint though the lieutenant's wife insisted that she had sent a complaint to the minister through registered post in the first week of March but had not received any response. 


An Southern Naval Command official confirmed it had launched an investigation. "The Chief of Naval Staff 's office has asked for a report, based on the lady's complaint a week ago," the official said.

In a statement, the Navy said, "The wife of the officer has leveled unfair allegations against superior officers in her husband's chain of command, their spouses and other officers who have interacted with her. These officers accompanied by their respective spouses had tried to unsuccessfully resolve the issues dogging the couple's personal life in a bid to leverage the strength of the naval community bond. Unfortunately, the lady had resorted to such methods of dragging her estranged spouse's colleagues into the vortex of their unhappy relationship in the past too in other units in which her husband has served. The couple was also sent to a marriage counselor under the aegis of the Navy Wives Welfare Association."
