2. Set up a cafe

This is a dream that might come true one day, having a cafe and serving fine food and coffee to locals.
In order to make the place more interesting, can have another business running at the same place. Like a flower shop? Bicycle shop? or a music store...

3. Provide Massage Services

Have an online shop, people can book a massage and you can drive to their house/ workplace.
Have a menu of variety of massages available.
This is where the NY course comes handy :)

Can be called CALL ME AN ANGEL!

4. Set up an import/ export Company

Option 1:

Create a company to be the business partner in xxx.
Business in the local area will buy the software and services from your company.
You pay the parent company for the software and re-sell to clients for profit.
You will probably need to develop a business case (including start up costing) to present to the parent company.

Spiritual Perfection

A bit difficult to write this one down, don't know where to start...

This is about Irfan, about quality in living... about how much we can earn from living on earth, what are we going to achieve?

Ever asked yourself, who are we? where have we came from? where we are going?

Irfan is to find answer to such questions to read and understand the book of universe, the book of existence.

Sounds unbelievable at first, but the book of universe, has all the answers and solutions in itself, we just need to know how to read it...

27/07/2010: Had a very hard night, struggled, I am hoping for relief soon....

22/08/2010: Came to this conclusion tonight: we are here to enjoy life, to enjoy each others' company and to learn things about being, my goal in life would be to enjoy and not waste a moment in hope of future or regret of past.

24/09/2010: Should be happy, I have got every thing my life, shouldn't think one part missing is a total tragedy, every thing that has been given to us is temporary, I want to feel good, can't make every one happy, thought I am in right track, still unsure, are we here to not break every one's heart? Hard to do that, every day I am breaking people's heart, people that are really important to me. Life passes fast, but how can I make sure I am not doing bad more than good???

03/11/2010: Want to be fair, trying to, but I see sometimes I fail and fail hard... shall I go back and talk to fix it? Or shall I continue but try to change my manner? Is this enough...? I wish I could remove "myself" from here so I could see others.....

11/01/2011: Woke up at 5:50, great feeling, one less... made me think of the time that I was in Moaliabad house and how unhappy I was, I took many things for granted... try to not do it again... Had a great feeling from morning yesterday, still the same :)
Called mom the moment I came out of it... good to hear her voice... talk to dad beforehand in the evening.
Thank you!

Will be adding my feelings and learnings in this area....
