So finally we hear from the Mind Storm Studios regarding their upcoming Cricket game. Cricket Revolution — will be available from Steam on Sept 18, 2009.

I am excited about this release for two reasons:

1. It is a cricket game. Looks awesome and with P2P features, I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

2. It is made by a Pakistani company. I don’t even know of any other game that has been developed and released from Pakistani company.

It will be interesting to see how successful does this get. I am not sure if they are releasing any console versions of the game, so if the guys from Mindstorm Studio read this post, can you please comment on this?

First watch this:

Very interesting and thought provoking. So what does this mean to us entrepreneurs who are trying to put a solution in front of our customers. If you are making a new social network, does it fall under the same problem? Too many choices for the end user and they might not be satisfied with your product.

I think it is important to consider this question when developing your product. Will your customers be able to identify it as something different, something new? Are you making just another ______ (whatever that is)? or are you creating a whole new product that will make your customers say “Gee I never thought I needed this solution until I saw this..”

It is very easy to fall into this trap. Don’t go for the generic stuff, create a brand. Make yourself unique.

To all my readers Ramadan Mubarak! May Allah (SWT) bless us all with His mercy and give us all a chance to become better Muslims. InshaAllah.

When I first read a tweet from various Pakistani twitter users about @farhanmasood‘s initiative of creating twitter avatars with green background and such, I had a weird feeling (very weird). So today when I read on PakCrunch about this same topic and how Imran Hussain had a similar feeling, I was relieved.

I love my country, I don’t need to prove it to anyone by my twitter stream. Actually I agree with Imran that no one cares how much you love your country. I think what is important to do this August 14th, is to make an aim. Yes we all love to make aims in life. So let’s make an aim that whatever we are trying to do to improve Pakistan — whether it is by starting a company, launching a new product, cleaning our neighbourhoods, helping others in whatever way possible — whatever it is, let’s keep on doing it.

Show your love for your country by your actions, not by tweets alone.

While I applaud Farhan for what he is doing, I really do think that his talent and skills can be put to better use rather than creating these avatars. We have bigger fishes to catch, we have bigger problems to solve. Let’s use our talent for productive activities.

Yes you read it right: nobody cares about your startup.

When you start with your little dream to create something super-amazing, you need to remember that nobody really cares about your idea or startup. You need to give them enough reasons to really believe in what you are doing is worth caring about.

This is hardwork, but then again, who said there is no hardwork in creating a startup? That’s the fun of startup life.
