Current Affairs — Personal and Otherwise
This is what I am thinking and watching — today, this week. A world that defies Compliance with Sense and Sensibilities.
Coming Soon - TruPoint VN and TruPoint PK
This is what I am thinking and watching — today, this week. A world that defies Compliance with Sense and Sensibilities.
I am the Chair, the CxO, the clerk, the accountant, the janitor, and the coffee machine of TruPoint, LLC.
This site reflects upon what I am thinking, watching, and writing — today, this week, this season in and of a world that has lost compliance with sense and sensibilities.
Some of it will be about financial crime and the institutions that commit it with impunity. Some of it will be about Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia — and the conflict between aspiration and machinery in places the West misreads by design.
Some of it will be about a bank destroyed for the crime of competing. Some of it will be about a surgeon in Tampa and what he may be doing now in Jacksonville.
All of it will be true.
I am Babar Shameem. Decades in the making and yet evolving. Inside global organizations and in entrepreneurial settings.
Data Products. Oceanroutes. Shameem Enterprises. Dhanak. Kehkashan. Sprint. TradeLinks. Shipping Connection. Verizon. Deloitte. EMC. Medello Consulting. Canon. Intrinsic. Citigroup. TruPoint.
And breathed, lived, and slept on intersections nobody owned. I carry that not as credentials but as evidence.
I have lived in the United States since 1972 and hold no illusions about any country I have called home.
The spine holds. Barely. But it holds.

“Babar exudes light in a sea of dark. A mentor, a strategist, and a trusted leader.”
