December

The month of December starts tomorrow. Another year nears its end. The month of December, for me, brings 3 seasons with it. And this has happened for the past 3-4 years. Firstly the season of winter, which I simply love. The chilly air hitting your face on the bus-stop, Never wanting to come out of that warm bed, The cold water hitting your face when doing ablution for fajr prayers. I always wait for winter to come.Then there is the wedding season. Its been happening for the past 2-3 years that most people I know get maried in December and they are such close relatives that I cant afford to miss these weddings.
And lastly there is the Exams Season. Yes exams season is back. I envy all those whose exams have ended :). I just wanted to ask all of you a favor. whenever you are praying, just drop in a little one for me " Ya Allah, Saad ko her imtayhaan main kaamyaab farma (Ameen)". I would be utterly grateful.

Exams

I think you people already now what I'm gonna say. I think the heading says it all. Sadly this post isn't going to be a rant ( Although I was so looking forward to write one :) . I'm just writing to wish everyone goodluck for their exams. I know how important they are for our future, our career and for our life. Time passes away very quickly and after a while only regrets remain, If only I had read that last chapter, if only I had more time to study, if only I had 10-15 more marks I could have made to a better college / university. We don't realize how precious the time, that we have now, is. We aren't getting any younger and the time that we have now will never come again and it is how we manage this time today which will determine our future. Everyone says that school / college / university years are the best years of one's life but these are also the foundation years for our tomorrow. I pray that all of us who have their exams or are going to appear for them pass them with flying colors. I pray that we are able to pass the exams of this world and are able to pass the exams of the hereafter. Always remember impossible is nothing. I have seen people who barely passed their first year of O' Levels get B's and even A's in their O' Level papers. I have seen people who barely scored 1.5 GPA score 3.0 and 3.5. all it takes is a bit of hardwork. I know this sounds a bit unrealistic but believe me truth is stranger than fiction. And I'll discuss the other side of the picture too. People who are studying to become CA's (Chartered Accountants) are the best example. If you know someone who's doing CA then you know what I mean. The pass percentage of CA's is 2%. It means no matter how good you are, only 2% of the people appearing in exams will pass. Imagine giving a great paper, scoring many correct answers but still failing. Imagine the frustration. Yet I see people trying harder and again and again and eventually passing. There is nothing bad in failing or repeating as long as you don't repeat the same mistakes again. I pray that may all of you pass all of life's endeavours and never give up, I pray that life never lets you down, I pray that all your wishes come true, I pray that you become what you want to be. Study hard because it is what counts. Imagine yourself 30-40 years from now, sitting with your grandchildren, telling them about life's experiences. The experiences that you are going to share with them depends on how you spend your life now.
Ok people thats it for now, I know this post was a bit boring for some of you but what can I say. Thank you for bearing me.

PS: Following is something I read on the back of a bus

Sapairoo nay sanpoo ko iss liyay qaid kar liya
Insan ko dusnay kay liyay dost hi kaafi hain

Thought provoking, isn't it ???

Weekend

This weekend was the same as usual. Boooooooooooring. Isn't there anyplace a person could hangout. Most people I know are having their exams and I really do feel sorry for them. I mean when do exams end anyway, first its quizzes, then mids and then finals and the break that you get between them is spent studying. Just think how many things you have missed because of these exams. Weddings, parties, gettogether with friends and all that stuff. Although deep down inside I know its the right thing and the things I just mentioned won't make my resume sparkle but still I miss those great school days when you could just study for those mids and finals and that too happened only once a year which brings me to another thing. Is semester system good or were the good ol days of school better when exams happened only at the end of the year ONCE. I had a discussion on this with a friend and according to him semester system is better coz we learn more, our knowledge gets tested often plus the burden is less coz you don't have to go through the whole years course but just of the past few months. What do you think ?
Anyways watched Paycheck this weekend, its a nice movie. I always have been fascinated by time travel and knowing about the future so I liked the movie and I would definitely recommend it. I know its an old movie but I usually dont have time to watch the movies as they come out.
The season of quitting blogging is on and one of the great blogger friends I know has a suspicious post up (Yes I'm talking about you VL). Please dont quit. Plus I was really gloomy when PG left and it took me a while to figure things out. Anyways right now all bloggers are accounted for, although they aren't posting that often but I'd say its a relief that atleast they are still there and not thinking about quitting. ( Yes all of you are not thinking about quitting, now repeat after me, I will not quit blogging).
Anyways friends that's it for today. Keep smiling :)

Eid Mubarak

Ghao kitna hi gehra kyun na ho...Bharta kabhi to hai
Koi kitna kareeb ho... Bicharta kabhi to hai
Waqt kitna hi sakht ho... Guzarta kabhi to hai
