Yes, it's true... Pakistan has three very talented people who have three things in common.
1. They have a fascination with computer development.
2. They have worked rigorously on Microsoft technologies.
3. They have passed the Microsoft Professional Certification with flying colors at a very young age and when I say young I mean like pre-teen.
First Up: Arfah Karim Randhawa (Faislabad, Pakistan)
She went into development at a very tender age and cleared her certification when she was just 9 years 9 month and 11 days old. She was the youngest MCP at the time. She was invited to Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, USA and met Bill Gates.
Here is the link to her very interesting interviews which give an insight into the intellectually developed mind. You will be astonished as to the way of her talking and understanding. She acts so maturely that its freakish at times:
Second: Babar Iqbal (D. I. Khan, Pakistan)
This dude has got so much done. Here is the list.
1. World's youngest Microsoft Certified Professional (age 9 years 27 days).
2. World's youngest Certified Internet Web Professional Associate
3. World's youngest Certified Wireless Network Administrator
4. World's youngest Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist
He is now in the gulf working with Microsoft research. He has worked on Microsoft Surface, XNA studio. Been to Redmond, USA... yes the Microsoft headquarters to meet with people who have worked on XBox, Kinect.
Third: Umema Adil
She is the youngest MCP in ASP .net and she has recently cleared MCTS, Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist for windows application development. She says that with all that is going on in Pakistan, harvesting in the field of technology can bear wonders in days to come. She keeps quoting this peculiar line "technology is the best revenge." Here is her interview.
So here they are, three gems who I would like every Pakistani to know about. They are right in the middle of it all, going head on head with the world. Not just thinking and trying to make their lives meaningful but actually doing something real and showing the world (and us) the meaning of determination.
