I graduated in computer science from GIFT University, Gujranwala, and work as a software engineer at Techfoot, a product company, where I am building BillSpree, a billing platform. Philosophy is what I read for myself.

This site began with one book. I am studying Muhammad Iqbal’s The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam, and almost every paragraph leans on someone else: Plato, Ghazali, Kant, Bergson. To read Iqbal properly I had to understand them first, and each time I wrote down what I learned.

The Game is that record: the context I always needed, and could never find in one place. It starts with Iqbal because that is the text in front of me. Each new thinker, school and idea I meet gets its own page, so the map grows as my study does.

This site will keep changing. As I read, my understanding grows, and the pages change with it: notes get corrected, sections are rewritten, and new ones appear. What you read today is where my understanding stands today. In the game’s own terms, this is a match still being played.

It is a student’s work, not a scholar’s. If you spot a mistake, or want to talk about any of it, write to me.
