'Ifza' - Our New Baby Blogger!

How wonderful does it feels to hold your baby girl for the first time in your arms while she smiles at you! It was the best experience of my life ever! Your brother is finally a father to a little princess from heavens Alhamdulillah and gifted with the most beautiful responsibility of raising a kid. We named her "Ifza" meaning "Protective Angel" so her official name thus becomes "Ifza Mustafa". Ifza is an Arabic name having a synonym 'Hifza', so people often confuse the names because of the same syllable sounds. Since I take the blogosphere community as part of my life, let me introduce this soon-to-be baby blogger with all of you!

Ifza is 15 days old now!

Ifza was born this month on 5th November, 2015 at "Aga Khan Hospital", Karachi. She weighed about 3.6 KG at the time of her birth which equals approximately 8 Pounds.   MashAllah she was the most healthiest kid born that day in Aga khan, after all she is a Pathan kid. :0

Just today I had her hair's cut. Her head is much cleaner now and fully bald. :D Will share the new photos very soon.

Ifza has given us a tough time throughout her mother's 9 months and 10 days of pregnancy and if she is reading this post after some 9-10 years inshAllah then she must know that she barely lets me sleep at night! She sleeps during day time but it takes me hours to calm her down at night. Surely nurturing and feeding a kid requires a lot of hard work not just only for the mother but also for the father. Since a week both Ifza and her mother are at my mother-in-laws house and I am so much at peace now! I am so thankful to God that I can finally take out some time to write this post! =p

Will she be a blogger?

Yes of course why not! But first she will be a Lady Doctor inshAllah!

God is surely the best planner and with our trust in Him, I pray to be a great affectionate father and to provide her with the best love and compassion she needs. After having seen how much intense hard work is done by a Lady Gynecologist and nurses inside a hospital, my respect for them have increased three fold. No doubt cure (Shifa) is in God's hand but medical science is the major resource (Waseela) to it provided by God Himself. 

I am a Computer Engineer and blogger by profession but I always wished to study medicine and serve the humanity. This dream will be fulfilled by my little baby girl one day inshAllah.

This Picture was taken the next day she was born i.e 11/6/2015.

My community unfortunately lacks lady doctors and women here rarely gets a chance to complete their studies after primary education. The major reason behind this is illiteracy, early marriage and not understanding the Islamic rights of a woman in its true essence.

Woman has a great place in Islam and she is the mother, daughter, wife and sister who makes up a family. My sisters and I am educated today thanks to my parents who are educated themselves. My eldest sister is an assistant Dentist in California, USA and she is still supported by my parents with her academic goals in life. 

Ifza will inshAllah lead the row and will become amongst the very few Lady M.B.B.S doctors in my tribe. By the time she gets 10 years of age, I will teach her how to blog and will mentor her on how to share her knowledge with the world outside. Blogs on medicine educate millions of people online to better take care of their health. This is one reason why I respect blogging so much. It's the only diary where you share nothing but knowledge!

Need your prayers!

Do share your prayers so that by the time Ifza gets at least 10 years old, she could read all your comments and know how much people loved her here! :)

STCnetwork's New Letterheads and Business Cards

By the time we developed our mini software firm STCnetwork and started recruiting more and more developers, it came a point where giving attention to every single office stationary became mandatory. We first started the trend of Business cards for bloggers back in 2012, we are next promoting the new trend of Letterheads for small online businesses to better portray themselves to local clients. Presentations count for 30%-50% of your business deals and contracts. The more professional you act and sound the better the rate of return on investment (ROI).

Business Card Design Changes

Company designs should be kept identical at all times without any major changes because after all keeping your identity same at all times is the whole concept behind a business logo. We have made slight changes to the web domain and email domain address. We simply replaced the blog domain address with company website URL inside the new design. We also changed NETWORK to lowercase and made the blue color a little brighter rest all things are kept the same. 

The cards are printed at both sides, matt laminated and match the size of a credit card 310g². Went through 3 + 2 color printing with dye cutting. Its designed by keeping MBT's parent design in mind, utilizing the same blue and black color combination.  The front of the card contains details about the network administration, logo and some contact details whilst the back contains my favorite quote i.e. "I blog for living"

We printed a total of 1000 copies this time:

Letterhead Design Specifications

As a business, every single time you reach out a customer,  whether through an invoice, contract or offer – you’re saying something about who you are. Letterheads leave your trademark on all documentations and business correspondence that takes place. Thus a unique form of marketing that further boosts your authenticity and credibility in the eyes of customers.

Letterheads can be used for both offline and online correspondences. You can print anything inside them using a inkjet or laser printers just like you do on any A4 size paper.

We have kept the design both comprehensive and yet simple in concept. The header consists of the company logo and office address while the footer contains the company web address. We have also inserted a large faded logo inside the center-left of the paper to make things more eye catching.

These letterheads will also be used as certificates in our coming workshops and conferences. The paper consists of a thick layer of 150 g² matt paper with tri color printing

Your views?

How important do you think are letterheads for a business and have you planned designing VC and letterheads for your blog? If yes then do share the design with us by using the following shortcode inside comments:

Our Cards and Letterheads are designed and printed by Waqas Haider from Al - Rehman Enterprises. Waqas is a great friend and an excellent designer without doubts. I would recommend his services to anyone home or abroad. 

Do give us your feedback on this latest development and let us know what could be done to make the cards even more better. Peace and blessings buddies! =>
