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 :)
