Favorite Products

Full Disclosure: Links included in this post are not part of any referral program. I will not be making a dollar or penny if you decide to purchase items listed on this page using these links. I have not taken any money from these companies, and these are just my favorite products that I have purchased from America or Europe in the last 10 years. The simple desire here is to help you, the reader, to benefit from an experienced person’s trial and error process so that you would not have to waste extra dollars while trying to refine your shopping cart or basket.

Owing to circumstances completely outside of my control that majority decline to accept openly — telepathy and mind control — I am experiencing severe difficulties composing my thoughts on the items that I absolutely treasure because of their quality and the attention to detail that the respective manufacturing companies have paid to make them spectacularly comfortable to use.

I deem following items as thoroughly outstanding for people on a budget. They do not necessarily qualify as extremely cheap, however, for people willing to forgo some non-essential items for a couple of weeks to buy a properly enjoyable and durable product in any of the following categories, then these have been tried and tested by me, and I rate them as truly 5 star products considering their price. Considering the price, they only qualify as excellent products that do not break the bank.

The “Buy On ...” link should take you to that particular product’s product page on the mentioned company’s website. Links refer to product pages on the main companies’ website and not the base page or website of that company. You should not have to carry out a search after clicking the link.

  1. Remington HC 5880 Buy on Remington Europe Website
    Buy on Amazon.com
  2. Remington HC 5870 Cordless Hair Clipper Buy on Amazon.com
  3. Remington HC 5750 Maverick Hair Clipper Buy on Amazon.com
  4. Beats By Dr. Dre Executive Headphones Buy on BHP Photo Video
  5. Kobo Forma or Koba Sage eBook Readers Buy on Kobo Books UK
    Buy on Amazon.com

    Excellent devices for fiction readers. Do not purchase an eReader with a screen size approaching 10" or even larger if you do not plan to use it for designing and drawing work. eReaders with screen sizes approaching 10" become too big to handle for longer periods of time. Kobo Forma and Kobo Sage both have approximately 8" inches screen sizes, and I deem them perfect for longer periods of continuous reading. Also, when choosing an eReader, make sure that it has buttons to flip the pages on the sides rather than bottom of the device’s body.

  6. Nescafe Taster’s Choice French Roast Buy on Amazon.com
    Buy on Nescafe Global Website

    For those of you who do not like to deal with the whole process of brewing coffee, I have not been able to find a better instant coffee. Nescafe’s Taster’s Choice French Roast is the best instant coffee that I have tasted to date. I started drinking coffee when I was 14 and now I am 46, so over a long period of 32 years, Taster’s Choice French Roast still remains the best coffee that I have ever sipped.

  7. Tweezerman Facial and Nasal Hair Scissors Buy on Amazon.com

    To date, these scissors remain the only pair that have not caused any discomfort while trimming my nasal hair. I have this feeling that my nasal hair grow at a slightly faster rate than the average person’s nasal hair. Consequently, I have to use them quite often. This pair by Tweezerman has so far remained the best in class. Highly recommended for those who have problems with nasal hair.

  8. Tweezerman Stainless Steel Slant Tweezer Buy on Amazon.com
  9. Clinique For Men — Exfoliating Oil Control Facewash Buy on Amazon.com
  10. Oxo Good Grips Scrub Brush Buy on Amazon.com

    The best in class scrub brushes that I have ever held in my hand or used, truly spectacularly designed. The attention to ergonomic detail is remarkable.

  11. Oxo Good Grips Dish Brush Buy on Amazon

For those of you into arts and crafts, I have used the following items and found these extremely affordable products almost excellent. If you like such activities, then you will probably quite like them, too.

  1. Staedtler 10 Fineliner Set Buy on Amazon.com
  2. Staedtler Triplus Fineliner Large Pack Buy on Amazon.com
  3. MT Masking Tape Buy on Amazon.com
    Buy on Amazon.com

    For those of you interested in using a tape without strong adhesive properties that would be easy to remove without damaging the paper once the work is done, these are the perfect tapes.

  4. Pilot Parallel Pen — 2.4 mm Nib Buy on JetPens.com
    Buy on Amazon.com

    As a once top-rated calligrapher in my school, I have tested the 1.5 mm and 6 mm nibs, and I have found that 1.5 mm is too narrow to create satisfactory works and 6 mm becomes too wide for small A4 sized papers; 6 mm would probably suit those working on big charts or trying to create larger works. Nevertheless, the quality of their nibs was excellent. If you would like to play with different widths, then give them a try to find what suits your tastes.

General Purpose Items

  1. Lock and Lock Twist Jars Buy on Amazon.com

    These containers are excellent for storing powdered producs like juice mixes or others powedered items delivered in sealed paper bags like coffee. Excellent quality jars for storing such items.

  2. Deep Heat Pain Releif and Massage Cream Buy on Manufacturer’s Website Buy on Amazon.co.uk

    Excellent product to address minor aches and pains and for general massage of the fingers after a long day of typing. As a person who spends almost the whole of the day in front of his laptop writing or typing, I find applying it on my fingers and then massaging it deep into the skin extremely calming and soothing.

  3. Febreze — Air Freshners Buy on Amazon.com

    Spectacular air freshners to improve the ambiance. Personal favorites:

    • Lemon Scented
    • Lenor

Meet Farah Zia: Loved By Despicable, Horrendous People

Before narrating the tale of this woman’s reprehensible, criminal conduct so far and the general state of affairs in Pakistan, let me disclose the charges that I, as a person not well-versed in legal matters, feel should be leveled against her. I am certain that in a free and fair trial, which is spectacularly difficult to arrange in Pakistan, she would be found guilty of at least a few of the following charges. As an extremely concerned member of Pakistani society who has witnessed all of this conduct, I firmly believe that she should be tried and put behind bars without any leniency or plea deals. As finding neatly presented digital documents in Pakistan, especially pertaining to the field of law, is a challenge, hence I will be using American documents to prove her reprehensible character and heinous and criminal misconduct so far. Also, I am presuming that various legislations on the wilful concealment of incriminating information for personal gains while acting as a p...

Unrivaled Powers of Persuasion: Master Negotiator at Work

A phenomenally, spectacularly talented member of the mighty Mughalia clan, named Omar Mirza, who possessed prodigious talents when it comes to excelling in academics, has proven that he has mastered the craft of negotiations, as well. As it turns out, he now possesses unrivaled powers of persuasion, too. Recently, somewhere in 2019, he was able to get his hands on an extremely in demand breed of dogs loved by dog lovers for a meager, meager sum of 15,000. I have heard that grownup dogs of that breed can actually cost in excess of 60,000 PKR. He has developed a unique skill amongst the spectacularly decent people of not telling the owners of dogs and other properties and now just negotiates with the doormen. If any one amongst you is looking to get his or her hands on an item costing 500,000 PKR for a mere 50,000 PKR, then please get touch with Omar Mirza from Rawalpindi. He excels at getting his hands on stuff that does not belong to him, and he can acquire the items at 1/10th o...

Short Tale Of A Vacation Gone Awry

The post was originally written in October, 2023. I am reposting here for improved readability experience. Until five days or so ago, I had been working, albeit extremely slowly owing to the circumstances completely outside of my control, on a few different projects: writing articles and posts, developing browser extensions, and providing people with feedback on their works. Some five days ago, I decided to take a break to write a short data-backed article to discuss some issues that I see in Islamic theology. During the last 5 days, until this morning, I had not been able to write even a couple of proper paragraphs, forget about complete posts. Based on the severe difficulties that I have faced in the last 5 days, I have concluded that my vacation plan has gone spectacularly awry. Metaphorically speaking, when I had booked this vacation in a friendly nation which was supposed to have bright, sunny days throughout the next 15 days, I have landed there during a truly aberr...
