2010

A year ends today, a decade since the new millennium!


So much happened during the last year and when I look back, it really does seem as if a decade has passed by. This year had its share of happiness and sorrows and I would say that "Aal izz well" that ends well :P


The year went by well, alhamdolillah and I have no complains.


Please pray that 2010 brings happiness, prosperity and peace in our lives and for our country and makes us better Muslims, ameen


Wishing all of you a very happy and prosperous new year, full of happiness and peace :)

Ouch and Future Ouch!!! :(

As the title suggests, I kind of got myself in a painful situation again :(

During my yearly check-up, my doc told me that I probably might need two fillings in my teeth. And when I asked him if it would be painful, he said "No, no, Not at all" (liar!). so I went to this dentist. Young cute girl about my age but with tools that would make you run away even if she's half a mile away :P
After an inspection and a X-ray, she tells me that one of my tooth might require a root canal (OMG!!) and the other is a simple(??) case of extraction. And she gives me an appointment of the dental SURGEON.

Let me tell you something friends, a trip to the dentist is like one to a haunted house. People of any age are afraid to go there and so was I :S

So he begins with another inspection and then gives me two choices. Cleaning and then root canal or root canal then cleaning. He said the extraction wasn't necessary if the tooth wasn't hurting me (and to my convenience, it wasn't :D Seriously, I didn't lie, it really isn't hurting :P)

I told him that I wanted the less painful stuff to be done first and he started with cleaning but when he took out the looong syringe with the mile long fat thick needle, I almost jumped off the chair. Isn't it ironic that you put anesthesia in such a dreadful tool. It should be in a toffee or chocolate, you chew it and your mouth is numb :)
He gave me eight shots in my gums and they hurt really really bad. Allah dushman ko bhi dentist say bachayay, ameen :)
It took around 45 minutes and I came out with a half numb mouth, feeling stupid but with pearly white teeth :) (and the teeth even shine when I smile, just like on TV :P)
The root canal is scheduled for January 1, 2010 so my year is kinda starting with an ouch :P Do pray for me people that it goes well.

On a different note, I was reading something about a not so practicing Muslim who became a practicing one and there was one thing he said that I really liked. He said that there were times when he would offer Salat and then there were times when he wouldn't but there was thing that he didn't let go and that was the company of good Muslims because that influenced his thoughts a lot. May Allah bless us with the company of good Muslims and guide us towards the right path, ameen :)

It seems like ages since I last blogged and although I started with the thought that I would write a lot today, I think I shouldn't. a very happy and belated Eid-ul-Azha mubarak to everyone. And a happy new year to all as well (Muharram 1st just passed by). May Allah make this year a more successful and more peaceful one for everyone, ameen.

My commenting system is shutting down from January so was playing around with it for a while and have somehow managed to bring back Blogger comments but don't know if it's stable. I'm on the look out for a good commenting system and a good rain themed template. Let me know if anyone spots one :)

Take lotsa care people. Keep smiling and keep blogging :)

Winter :)

I woke up this morning and the cool breeze told me that Ms. Winter has finally arrived in Karachi. I know that proper "thund" will start by end of December but still, the change in weather seems nice :)

It's been so long since I last posted that I've forgotten the password to my account and I will probably post through my BB. Life is just going on, not much to talk about. Everything is going well alhamdolillah but I don't know why, dil chah raha hai k kuch budlay :S [but definitely for the better]

I’m glad that the weather changed because I really didn't have anything else to post about. I was thinking of posting about the new shoes that I just got and then I realized that… I need more GUY friends!!! Seriously (in Grey’s tone), what the hell? (in Dean’s tone), I mean who posts about their shoes??? [I just noticed that I did post about my shoes above so I’ll just carry on. They’re leather and super comfy (comfy??) :P]

Anyways, I’m on a series watching marathon since the past few months and have watched all of Supernatural, House, Grey’s Anatomy and am now watching Snoops which is a British series. I watched so many American series that it took me 4-5 minutes to actually understand the British accent but then it was smooth sailing from there on. The reader in me has also woken up and I’m reading Alex Rider series these days. It sometimes really surprises me at the kind of books that win bestseller awards. It really pushes me to start writing the book that I have been planning to write for so long. Sadly, all the people that agreed to help me write it have gone :(

In other news Eid-ul-Azha (Bakra Eid) is right around the corner and you can hear the mooo-s and maiiii-s of gayein (cows) and bakras (goats) respectively and some sounds of doomba-s (lambs) as well (can’t remember what sound a doomba makes, do you?). On the day of bakra Eid, you’ll be able to witness the chivalry, talent and strength of our qasai-s (butchers). The way they expertly halal the animals is a sight to watch (but not for the weak hearted). Once upon a time, I was really fascinated by it and would go far and wide to see how they halal an oont (camel). I don’t think I ever mentioned, but once I played the role of butcher with my father, chacha and my brother and we cut a full bakra down to small tikka botis :) Anyways, that’s a story for another time.

I’m off for now, take care people, keep smiling and keep blogging :)

EID Mubarak

Wishing a very Happy & blessed Eid to everyone & their families.

I woke up on Eid day and the weather was awesome, I felt happy for no reason. I sent out Eid messages/emails to all people on my contact list while lying in bed(thanks to my BB) and then finally decided to get up for a shower.

And that is when I realized that no one had told me to hurry up. No one reminded me to get my topi while leaving for the mosque, no one gave me Eidi right after Eid namaz & no one told me to keep wearing my Eid shalwar kameez & not change back to my usual attire as we had to leave for the graveyard.

Regardless of the fact that I did all these things just as I did them last year, I missed being told, I miss my Father! Eid is usually the one time when everyone is at home & my Dad took his leaves near Eid and visited Pakistan. And now, ever since he passed away, Eid just doesn't feel like Eid anymore!

Over the years, I had started to avoid accepting Eidi from relatives and my Dad was the one who would make me do it. He was the only one who could make me do many things that I didn't when my mom told me. And now, I feel so grown up, I do things even when no one's there to tell me and at times, believe me, you feel as if it's still your age to be told things.

Cherish your time with your parents my fellow bloggers, you don't know when anyone's time is near.

I hope all of you had a happy, joyful & peaceful Eid and may Allah grant all of us even more, ameen.

27

Time flies by so quickly. And yes, that is exactly what it does, it "flies". You will never hear it walking or running, it "flies" and we seem to never know where it went.

The holy month of Ramadan is coming to its end. I can't believe that Eid-ul-Fitr is just around the corner. For some reason, I dunno why, but Eid always brings the feeling of happiness. Even when I am super bored on Eid day, I still feel happy. And this is not because Eid-ul-Fitr brings the much awaited Eidi with it (when else can you squeeze money out of your most Kan-juicest (miser) relatives : P) . I’ve been able to excuse myself from giving Eidi ever since a friend told me that Eidi is only given by people who’re married. So now on every Eid, my younger cousins pray that I get married so that they can get Eidi. Neat na? :P

Life is going well alhamdolillah, nothing new to report and that is probably one of the reasons that I haven't been blogging.

In other news, I just turned 27 a couple of days ago. And let me tell you, it doesn’t feel any different. I feel the same as I felt when I was 26. I guess 27 isn't such a huge milestone. Maybe I'll be more conscious when I turn 30. However, it’s interesting to see what you can get on the internet on searching 27 years:

The 27 Club (A group of musicians who died at the ago of 27)

The War of 27 Years (War between Marathas and Mughals that lasted 27 years)

Jailed wrongly for 27 years (A person who was wrongly imprisoned for 27 years)

Anyways, I guess this is about it for today. I’m almost about to finish a book recommended by a friend. It’s an excellent book and a must read. The title is Peer-e-Kamil. Hopefully, I’ll be posting a review in my next post, let’s see. Till then, take care, keep smiling and keep blogging :)

Home

Sitting alone in a hotel room in a small city in Punjab. I can see from the window, rain drizzling down on a small green field, its a beautiful view but it doesn't feel right, there's something missing.

That something is my city Karachi, the feeling of being home, the feeling of belonging, the feeling of freedom. Rain falling on the charcoal roads of Karachi looks better to me than rain falling over here.

They say that home is where the heart is and my heart is definitely in Karachi (these days :P) Oh how I miss home and I'm still here a week abhi. My city is my city, Karachi is Karachi. Today when I got calls/msgs from friends telling me that it was raining in Karachi, I missed my city a lot. (I know all of you called me to tease me knowing that I love rain). According to the weather forecast, its going to rain the next three days as well, I wish it rains when I come back :)

I pray that it rains and brings prosperity to all and the rains pass by leaving everyone safe and happy, ameen :)

It seems like ages since I had home made pakoray, cholay etc. I've never felt homesick before. I guess that since this is the first time I'm away from home in Ramadan that's why I feel like this.

I salute all those who live away from home because of their responsibilities. It really is a tough thing to do. May Allah give them courage and help them to come back home safely & quickly, ameen :)

Take lotsa care friends and remember me in your prayers when possible :)

And another random post :P

"The devil you know is better than the devil you don't"

I heard this somewhere and it made me think. Is this really the point where we have come to? Is this really what we have become?

Is the choice between good and evil not there anymore? Are we to choose between the lesser of the two evils now? Is there no good left in the world?

Think about it? What are we doing about all the wrong that is happening around us? Its the holy month of Ramadan and I don't see any change in people or their attitudes. We are still backbiting, still lying and still being corrupt.

Change people, change yourselves. There is no specific time to start a good deed. If you're planning to do something good tomorrow, then do it today and now.

I pray that may Allah guide us all to the right path, ameen

Hope everyone's ramadan is going well. Its a 14 hour roza in Pakistan (still 4 hours to iftar but I'm already dreaming of pakoray and cholay :P)

Take care people, stay happy & keep blogging :)

Another Random Post!

As salaam u alaikum

Here I am, sitting alone in a hotel room, thinking all sorts of things. (As they say, khali dimagh is devil's workshop or is it farigh dimagh?)

And one of those things is, as the subject suggests, that this is going to be another random post :P

Firstly, my prayers go out to an ex-friend, may she have the best in life hamesha, ameen. I hope her life is on track to getting married, inshaAllah :)

Secondly, I found out today that a very good blogger has come out of hibernation. This blogger is a doctor & is doing marvelous things for the less privileged but we never get to find out, partly because of her modesty and partly because it isn't reported. I hope and pray that the work continues and Allah rewards her & fills her life with happiness, ameen :)

Lastly and before I state this stupid thought, I would like to say that this is just another odd thing that has occured to me & I hope I would laugh at this when I look back at it after some time. This means that none of the readers are to give it a second thought and just ignore it.

Man is a social animal but I'm sure there are exceptions. I was just thinking that most of our reasons for happiness and for sadness, are people. What if we subtract that from the equation? A person just lives alone, prays alone, works in the jungle collecting fruits & vegetables for the day and that's it. No people interaction, no ways to get in to trouble, no ways to commit any sins and no ways to be sad about anything. Seems simple, doesn't it?

But it isn't. As I was writing the above, I had flashbacks of the moments of happiness that I've had, the moments when my friends have been there for me, the moments that make life what it is. And now I'm wondering why I wrote the above. Man really is a social animal, can't do anything about it.

I guess we are built to care for others, to help others, to be happy when our loved ones are happy and to be sad when they're sad.

Wishing all of you the very best in life. May Allah grant us the courage to walk the right path and fill our life with happiness, ameen

Take lotsa care friends and keep blogging :)

Independence Day

Jashn-e-Azaadi Mubarak to Everyone :)

Pakistan, our beloved country turns 62 today. Sixty-two years have passed by since the time when people gave their lives for this country.

We celebrate independence day every year on 14 August. But why is it that we become patriots only for a month, or a week or a day? Why can't we be like this the whole year?

Why can't we care for our country and love our country the whole year round? Why do we just wake up at this time? And why do we wake up in such a way? I though we were short on electricity but look around and you see all buildings glowing with high wattage lights? Where is the load shedding now? Why is it that we love our country so much and yet we are dying to leave it? Why is it that we study here and when we become something, we just pack our bags and leave? Where is our patriotism at that time? This country has given a lot to us and it still is giving. But have we ever considered that what have we given back? Do we pay our taxes? Are we doing anything to save electricty or water wastage? We aren't even doing the small things and there we are putting up large flags. When was the last time we sang our National Anthem?

Things just keep coming in my head and the list goes on. I guess I'm just grouchy today.

Anyways, happy independence day to everyone. This country is one of the best and may Allah bless this country always, ameen.

Take care friends and keep blogging.

Zara num ho to yeh mitti bari zarkhaiz hai saqi :)

PAKISTAN ZINDABAD!

Another random post :)

It rained in Karachi :) It was so nice, droplets of water falling from the sky, giving everything a new and fresh look. Karachi always looks so "dhula dhula" after rain. I always say that Barish is Allah's rehmat.

Every year we have rain fall in Karachi and every year Karachi gets flooded with problems of electricity, of drainage and of pata nahi what else. People say it shouldn't rain but I strongly disagree. I even got in to a fight with T over this. Her fb status said "God, no more rain" and I think that is just wrong. Rain is a blessing but it is our system that makes it a nightmare for some people. I think it should rain every week or at least every month. Yup, you guessed it right, I love rain :)

I walked in the rain, enjoyed myself and well... have been coughing and sneezing since the past two weeks. Had to finally go to the doctor when my cough sounds starting resembling those of an old truck's diesel engine :P And as it happens when I get ill, now I'm living on multi coloured tablets including a dose of 1500 mg of anti biotics each day :( The cough's gotten better and sounds more like a purr than a roar :P

And now, it's time for a tag. I was tagged in the everyone-who-reads-is-tagged kinda way so here it is:

Seven things that make my life worth living:

1) First and foremost, I am grateful for Allah. I always know that He is watching over me and I believe that everything that happenes to me is for my betterment and that there is a reason behind it. I know I don't always thank Him, I know sometimes I think life is unfair but I usually get back to being myself again. There have been many moments in my life when I've just looked up, about to cry, amazed at Allah's greatness and kindness and have simply said thank You. I love those moments and I am really grateful for them :)

2) My family. I don't know what I would do without them. They have always been there and I know that I can always count on them. I really don't have words to tell how much my family matters to me.

3) For me being me. I don't mean to sound pompous and I'm not blowing my own trumpet (not that I own any trumpets :P). I'm grateful that I am not physically or mentally challenged. I'm sure I have a lot of weaknesses and a lot of faults but I guess I'm content with who I am. I'm glad that I am who I am and not like some one else. Well I may be like someone else or a part of me might be but still... Ermm, I think this is gettig confusing but you get the point na. I'm just glad that I turned out to be what I am right now.

4) For the crazy friends that I have had and the new ones that I keep on making. For some reason, I am unable to continue friendship with people after a while but for the time that it lasts, I am really grateful for that. I am really really grateful to all my friends who were there for me when my father passed away, I always had their shoulder to cry on and it meant a lot, it still does. Sadly, I'm friends with none of them now, but those times still mean a lot. I'm grateful to all those people who have been a part or are a part of my life as friends (and sometimes as more than friends :P). In one way or another, you have been an influence :) (and are probably responsible for point 3 [the place where I say I have faults] :P )


(Now it gets hard to jot down the points. Is it okay if I cheat and copy the points from the original post :P )

5) For Ideas. Yes, you read it right, "IDEAS" or rather for the food for my thoughts. Movies, books, games, people, even match boxes. Things that make the wheels turn, that make me curious, that make me think, that give me ideas. I've come across some really brilliant (welll, I think they were brilliant :P) ideas, thoughts that (I believe) have had an impact. Having some background in computer programming, my ideas that seemed totally outrageous at that time (i.e. during programming labs or programming competitions or during daily routine) have clicked and had solved problems in a cool way (I know I sound nerdy right now :P )

6) Okay, this one might seem odd but I'm grateful for technology in general and specially for my Blackberry :P Everything that has made life easier, more comfortable and effective like TV, computers, cell phones, UPS, generators etc. etc.

7) And last but not the least, for rain [I'm sure you guys already expected me to say that :)]. Rain has a magical effect on me. The way the clouds turn all dark, the weather gets all lovely and cloudy and then water pours down in the form of millions of tiny droplets. The way the earth smells when rain hits the surface, the sound of rain on the dhaba's roof when you're enjoying a doodh patti :) It is one of Allah's blessing and it feels really nice :)

So what are you grateful for? I too, tag everyone who reads this :P

Take care friends, keep smiling and keep blogging :)

Busy busy

The last one week was really something. It was full of fun activities, a busy and hectic schedule and about meeting new people.

The tough schedule came with few hours of sleep a night and sometimes none at all. And it has gifted me with a sore throat, a voice I can't recognize and a slight fever.

But I think its worth it. I learned new things, I found new things about some people and experiencing last week is something that I'm sure I won't forget for quite some time :)

Thank you everyone who was a part of it, it wouldn't have happened this way if it wasn't for all of you. And I mean it in both ways, good and bad.

I'm sure that anyone who is reading this post doesn't have a clue about what I'm writing about but I think that's how my posts usually are :P

Anyways, I hope all of you are having an exciting weekend & are not lying in bed, chillaxing like me :P

Take care friends, keep smiling & keep blogging :)

Half over

It seems as if it was yesterday when everyone was wishing a happy new year. And today six months have passed in a flash. It seems like a dream that half of the year has passed by so quickly, just gone.

And when I glance back, I don't think I have done or achieved anything significant in terms of deen or dunya. I'm not being ungrateful, alhamdolillah Allah has showered his blessing upon me. Its just that when I look back, I don't see anything that I have done to thank Him.

I was discussing this with a colleague and according to him he has done something in regard to both deen & dunya. He got married in the first half of this year and has thus achieved a milestone, according to him :P

Jokes apart, what are we really doing in terms of making this world and the hereafter better for us. We have the same old routine, home-school/job-home. We listen to Azaan as if the call for prayers is for someone else and don't pay attention to it. We become muslims every Friday and on Eid days & you can see the mosques flooding with people. Its so odd, isn't it?

Think about it people, half of the year has gone. Let's make the other half productive ( and by that I don't mean you go out and get married :P )

Take care, keep smiling & keep blogging :)

Down but not out!

Today I feel a little down, a little broken hearted. I had become passionate about something after quite some time and it didn't turn the way I wanted. I had made so many plans, had done quite some thinking but....

I didn't get admission in the Masters program. They said that my Bachelors degree is already equivalent to a Masters degree and hence I can't take admission for a second Masters. The excuse is so lame that I just can't imagine what to do and that's the reason for me being low today :S

Yes, I'm a bit down but I'm not out. I have complete faith in Allah and I believe that everything happens for a reason and Allah surely has something better in store for me :)

Everything is going very well alhamdolillah. The weather of Karachi is really nice these days and it seems as it would rain. I remember that it rained on 20 July last year. Let's see when it rains this year.

Take care of yourself friends and remember me in your prayers :)

Rangoon ki tanvir hamesha rehti hai
Khushboo ki tauqeer hamesha rehti hai

Khwaab to hain phir khwaab, bikhar hi jaate hain
Par khwaabon ki taabeer hamesha rehti hai

Rang to aksar ur jaate hain chehron se
Lafzon ki tasveer hamesha rehti hai

Tujh ko dekha hai to yeh mehsoos howa
Aankhon ki tehreer hamesha rehti hai

Dukh aur sukh hum baant to lain milkar jaana
Leikin ye taqdeer hamesha rehti hai

Kiya hota hai tinkon ka anjaam kaho
Phir bhi tadbeer hamesha rehti hai

Un dekhe kuch rishtay aise hote hain
Pairon mei zanjeer hamesha rehti hai

BORED!!!!

As salaam u alaikum

Stuck at home, nothing interesting on TV, no friends online, no crazy updates from people on fb, can't call my usual phone friends because they aren't up yet and on top of that can't seem to find anything interesting on the internet.

What does that mean??? That means I'm super BORED!!!! :(

I tried reading the alchemist, tried to read great expectations by charles dickens but no to use. I guess I've lost my reading habit :(

Life is going very well alhamdolillah. I'm planning to finally start my studies again and complete Class XIII :P Just kidding, I've submitted my form and documents for a Masters program and am hoping I get in. The only thing that could be an issue (i hope it isnt) is that I did O levels instead of SSC. Anyways, keeping my fingers crossed, let's see what happens.

I was talking to a friend the other day and she told me that you have to know Arabic if you want to work in Dubai/Oman etc. so I'm searching for a good Arabic course in Karachi. Let me know if any of you out there know anything about it or even if you know a good website. I'm a quick learner (i think :P)

Khair, take care friends, keep smiling and keep blogging :)

FLU :(

Yes, as the title says, I've got a really bad flu since yesterday.

Who gets a flu in this scorching heat :( so now I can't have anything cold or sour (there goes the cold drinking water and falsay), just lie in bed and wait until this flu gets over. On top of that I have a really sore throat and it even hurts if I swallow food :(

The rest of the things in life are going well alhamdolillah. My busy session kind of gets less busy this Tuesday.

Please pray that I get well really soon :)

Friends :)

I wrote the below post but did not publish it because I had a feeling that I had used the same subject before. And when I read my previous post, it made me laugh out loud :D

-------------------------------------------------

Lolzz, a smile comes to my face as I write the subject of this post :P

Anyways, I am thankful to Allah that even though I lose friends regularly, I also gain them as well.

Life is a bit hectic but going well alhamdolillah. Things are slowly getting in to focus and everyday is a new day for me :)

My cousin and old partner in shararats has come back to visit Karachi but I haven't been able to meet him yet because of my schedule. We spoke on the phone and were discussing Karachi's weather and he said that "Karachi main sirf do (2) mausam hotay hain. Either it's hot or it's VERY HOT!! " :P

That is so true. The heat has really gone to new levels this time and I've already started praying for rain. My advice to all of you is that drink lots of fluids these days and make onions a part of your diet. I've heard that it helps.

Please remember me in you prayers my friends :)

That's all for now, take care and keep blogging :)

Friends :)

I have recently made a new (and improved), very nice (freshly baked) friend and I believe that this person has the potential to be one of my best friend but lets see what happens :P

The person seems to be freakishly sweet or sweetly freakish, I can't really decide :P 
I guess that my friend is from the same alien planet that I came from, where people help others without expecting anyhing in return, where people care about others, where people aren't selfish and self centered and where people eventually get hurt but I hope and pray that it never happens to my friend, ameen

Alhamdolillah I have been very lucky in terms of friends and it's my luck that I made this new friend. I have made many good friends and the times I've had with them are really memorable. However, I've lost friends as well. sometimes because of my foolishness and sometimes because of someone elses.

Life becomes busy and sometimes in our busy schedules, we forget to stay in touch with friends. some people understand that and some don't. Why can't people just say what's on their mind and get it over with. Why lie? Why make excuses? Life is too short to stay unhappy, to stay angry or to stay mad at someone.

I guess I'm not going anywhere with this post and it is just getting random. I started to write about my new friend but I guess I just wandered off.

Life is good alhamdolillah, work has been keeoing me busy. The next 20-30 days is my tough and hectic season at work. Please pray that all goes well :)

Thats all for now friends. Keep smiling and keep blogging :)

Betrayal

I don't know what just happened. Two of my very close friends just gave me so much attitude that I'm shocked.

And to add to it, I have no one to share this with and for some reason I am glad because maybe I would have received the same from that friend too.

To the best of my knowledge, I know it was uncalled for and I had done nothing to deserve that from them.

May Allah solve all their problems and help them in this tough time, ameen

100th Post

Since my first post in September 2004 to my 100th post today, I must say that blogging has been a wonderful journey. I met some wonderful people and made excellent friends, most of them whom I have never even seen and yet we became the best of friends.

I have been busy with my job and with life (and maybe some laziness) and so didn't get time to update my blog. The last fifteen months of my life seem like a dream. I lost my father, my grand-mother and my grand-father and only someone who has lost these loved ones can understand my pain. Furthermore, I lost some excellent friends or rather I pulled away and didn't look back.

The thing that urged me to blog today is a fellow blogger's post. I just found out that she is getting a divorce from her husband. I have been a reader of her blog since she was in uni and had been following it ever since. I saw her go through good times and through bad/tough times, read that she was happy & smiling and sometimes sad and crying. I hope and pray that Allah helps her pass through this tough time and gives her the strength and courage to overcome this stage of her life, ameen.

Please remember me and everyone else in your prayers my friends, I would be grateful.

Take lots of care, keep smiling and keep blogging :)

Blackberry

This post is just to check if I can blog using my blackberry.
