This Sunday, Dazzling Lounge in Toronto dazzled in the company of young Muslim professionals to network and to extend their hands to help the victims of earthquake in Indonesia through Islamic Relief Canada.  Professionals from all walks of life were there to meet and greet each other and grow their social networks. Some considered networking essential for their businesses while others came with the idea of speed dating in their mind. Well, whatever the aims were, the event was a success. With over a hundred participants, the event was well organized, well managed with delicious appetizers and charming company. Engineers, doctors, lawyers, accountants, project mangers, IT specialists and yes, the media people were all there to talk about their respective life and their perspective on it with their newly made friends.
Our host Farrukh Qurashi, a software developer by profession, modestly accepted that this was the first event of this nature to be hosted by him. He was grateful to Mo Hakim for sharing his organizational skills and helping him make this event a success. Co-hostess, Farrah Naeemuddin commented, ‘ The event was up to our expectations. A lot of people have made many business contacts and friendships tonight. Makes me happy.” Light music by DJ Lune and a live performance by Samer Shahid Khan of Nai Roshni School turned the evening into pleasant event. This fusion of music, food and networking provided a great opportunity for Muslims in GTA to socialize and grow their networks.
