Introduction

Welcome to my corner of the web! I'm M. Ali Yaqoob, a November-born individual fortunate to share my life's journey with my beloved wife and two wonderful children, Hashim and Humnah. Family is at the core of everything I do, and I cherish every moment spent with them.

When I'm not immersed in family life, you can often find me indulging in one of my favorite pastimes: watching movies. Among the myriad of films that have left a lasting impression on me, "Lamhe" from Indian cinema and "Troy" from Hollywood stand out as timeless classics.

My love for exploration and adventure often leads me to beautiful destinations, with Neelam Valley in Kashmir holding a special place in my heart. And when it comes to satisfying my taste buds, nothing quite compares to the aromatic flavors of chicken biryani - a dish I simply can't resist.

While my wife, a dedicated teacher specializing in mathematics and computer science, inspires me with her passion for education, I find myself drawn to the intricacies of human behavior. Psychology has long been a subject of fascination for me, allowing me to delve deeper into the complexities of the mind.

Despite my penchant for reflection and introspection, I always relish the opportunity to spend quality time

with friends, sharing laughter and creating cherished memories. So, come join me on this journey of discovery, as we navigate life's twists and turns together.

I am a staunch advocate for ongoing learning and development, viewing it as an essential component of personal and professional growth. This belief drives me to actively promote continuous learning and development initiatives wherever I go. Additionally, I am deeply committed to social responsibility, which I fulfill by delivering educational lectures and raising awareness through sessions at universities whenever the opportunity arises. However, I choose not to speak at conferences as a matter of personal preference.

Central to my philosophy is the belief in simplicity—preferring clarity over complexity in navigating life's myriad challenges – inspiration taken from my mother. I firmly believe in maintaining a delicate balance between diplomacy and honesty, recognizing the importance of authenticity in all interactions.

I maintain an active presence on LinkedIn, leveraging it as my primary platform for professional networking. In contrast, I've chosen to disengage from Facebook for several years now. Instead, I prefer to socialize and communicate through LinkedIn and WhatsApp, finding them to be more conducive to meaningful connections and interactions.
