· · · About Version 9

I always tell people that when I'm forty, I'll still be playing video games like a kid. The irony in that statement is that I'm only 20 now, and I'm already noticing how my video gaming frequency has decreased considerably. This has nothing to do with growing up, but rather realizing responsibility's relationship with time: As responsibility grows, time lessens. Add to that the fact that I'm progressing into the realm of being a corporate machine, my dreams of being a Toys 'R' Us kid forevermore are suddenly evaporating. Slowly.

There's one thing that's left now to figure out in terms of how I plan on live my life. It's a little mix we call Business Casual: The perfect balance of passion and professionalism. We hope you enjoy.

NOTE: The über-blurred image that is the backdrop of the menu is a shot of Times Square. Consider it a mix of our ideals, as the overarching landscape of corporate America is fused in with the passionate creativity that the area's architecture and content represents. (If that sounded like fluff, I apologize. I'm good at fluff.)

· · · About The Creator

In January, I'll be taking a class called Modern Art. It's the first class in my intended minor, which has changed several times only to come back to its initial choice: Fine Arts. In the greater scheme of things, it stands out. On the outside, it isn't me. On the inside? One couldn't be more accurate.

Rahat Ahmed. I turned twenty on August 28, 2001. General stats include being born in Dhaka, Bangladesh, moving to Houston, Texas, in 1990 and then arriving here in New York City in 2000. I attend Stern School of Business at New York University, am double majoring in Finance and Accounting and am overextended in terms of extracurricular actitivies.

I am loyal to my Tennessee Titans, Houston Rockets and Houston Astros, have stopped saying "ya'll" after arriving in New York, listen to too much Korean Pop for my own good, am addicted to Red Herring and am a big supporter of Microsoft.
