To blog or not to blog...

That really has been the question for the past few months. I sit in front of my PC thinking what to write, thinking what to share, thinking and just thinking... and nothing seems to come up and I logout. It has ben so long since I posted or commented on any of the blogs until recently when I finally had some time on my hands.

I cleared all the papers that I mentioned about in my last post. Thank you, all of you who prayed for me, it was only possible through prayers because God knows how well prepared I was. I was actually surprised at clearing my exams, it was nothing short of a miracle. Thank you soo much :)

Life has been really really busy or maybe I've engulfed myself in to it so much that I dont seem to get time for anything. This post is just another one filled with boredom. I think I've lost my ability to blog (if I ever had it). Anyways, this post is dedicated to a fellow blogger. I've posted in tihs week as promised :)

And now I come to the end of this post. I know this one was a really short and meaningless post but thats how it is.

For all the busy people out there:

Sheher ki iss daur mein daur ke karna kya hai
Agar yahi jeena hain doston, to phir marna kya hai
Pehli barish mein train late honay ki fikar hai
Bhool gaye, bheegtay huay tehelna kya hai
Serial kay kirdaron ka saara haal hai maloom
Par Maa ka haal poochhne ki fursat kahan hai
Ab reth mein nangay paon teheltay kyon nahin
Ek sau aath hain channel par dil beheltay kyon nahi
Internet pay duniye se to touch mein hain
Lekin paros mein kaun rehta hain jantay tak nahin
Mobile, landline, sab ki bharmar hai
Lekin jigri dost tak pahunche aisay taar kahan hai
Kab doobte huye sooraj ko dekha tha, yaad hai
Kab jaana tha shaam ka guzarna kya hai
To doston, shahr ki iss daur mein daur kar karna kya hai
Agar yahi jeena hai, to phir marna kya hai?

Keep smiling friends and keep blogging :)

PS: I read Harry Potter 7 and I'm so anxious to put up spoilers on my blog :P

A trip to UK :p

Arey, dont cry my faithful fans and visitors, what the title actually means is a trip to University of Karachi :P
Yup, yours truly went to KU to give my exam. I got off the bus at the main gate and started WALKING, walking, walking, walking and walking. Is the university big or what???
After a lot of walking, i came near the ISPA thingy where they have a telescope I think. There on the left side of the road was a sign that said 25 kms. Believe me I almost fainted. I was like who is going to walk TWENTY FIVE kms but as I came near I saw that it said Speed Limit 25 kms :P (but it did look like that, seriously)
There is a lot of walking required to reach anywhere in the university and now I know why people who go there are so smart and slim and for those who arent, yes I agree with you, the samosas are REALLY delicious :P
Anyways I reached the venue and OH MY GOD, who in this world gives their exam in a tumboo (tent). I'm glad the weather wasnt bad. Fortunately my seat was in a class and I dont think they've heard of gaps between two candidates beacuse the seats were placed like they normally are placed in a class.
The paper ended and I came back home but this trip taught me a lot and being the good person that I am :P, i'll share them with you:
1) Reach the university well before time because you never know how much you will be required to WALK :P
2) Know where you are supposed to go in the university. If it had been not for my best friend, I would still be wandering inside the university, LOST :P (Shouldn't there be a map placed beside the road so that people know where every department is? ). And thank YOU so much for telling such an easy way to get to the venue my friend :)
3) If you're a i-dont-wear-a-watch-coz-my-cell-has-a-clock person, do wear a watch, because cell phones arent allowed and there isnt any clock in the class.
4) Pack a BIG water bottle, because the water that is available doesnt look okay, better yet, pack a cooler and food and a bedsheet, you can have a picnic later on in the botanical garden (and the garden is soo beautiful, its a must see)
5) Dont take G17 or G13 from university back home because both get stuck in traffic or bad roads.
6) This is much of a suggestion. I think they should start chair-lifts like the ones in Murree from the gate or from those two mountains on either sides (ISPA and the one in the botanical garden) to the end of the university (whereever it is). It sure would help everyone. And where did those buses vanish, last time I went there those buses went quite inside the university. By the way, has anyone seen the end wall of the university?? :P

Thats about it for today fellow bloggers. And yes one more thing. Yours truly will be at Karacih University on this Saturday, for another paper, so everyone anyone someone (koi to hoga :P ) who wants an autograph, knows where to find me :P

Take care friends, keep smiling and keep blogging :)

Pakistan Zindabad :)

No its not Independence day or Quaid's birthday or any such thing. Its just that the patriot in me has woken up coz of something.
Today I heard the Pakistani National Anthem after a long loooong time and it really was something. The version played was the one played at the SAAF Games (if anyone has that version then I would be very grateful if you could share it with us). It was so beautifully sung by children, had so much emotion and patriotism that its not possible to describe it in words.
And believe me I got so emotonal, so patriotic and was filled with energy by the end of the anthem. It was simply beautiful, the feeling, the environment, it was just great :)
Listening to the anthem brought back so many memories, the good (not so) old school days, the fun, the friends, everything was so simple, life was so simple, so beautiful :)

"Yeh daulat bhi lay lo
yeh shaurat bhi lay lo
bhalay cheen lo mujh sya meri jawabi
magar mujh ko lauta do bachpan ka saawan
woh kaagaz ki kishti, woh barish ka paani"

I would request all the Pakistanis out there, just listen to the National Anthem, it really charges you up and brings back a lot of memories.
Thats it for now, take care friends and keep blogging :)

Zendagi migzara :)

I apologize for the looong absence, I know none of you are visiting my blog so that really is an incentive to update :P So here it goes...

I am on my leaves these days and have suddenly realized that what and how much I was missing. I caught up on family (never had much friends so no need catching up :P ), on books, on games and... on LIFE :) And since this blog was is a part of my Life so I thought of updating it too. Well... actually I had thought of updating it quite many times but as usual didnt have anything to write about (I still dont so you still can close the window and save yourselves from getting bored :P ), a close friend insisted that I update so here I am :)
After what seems like an eternity, I read some books, good books and it felt so good, so nice to read again. I played games with my younger brother on his PS2 and it really felt good ( I lost on ALL the games though :P )
I watched a few movies and I watched Lagaan again. This time, however, I was totally immersed in the movie. I really felt sad when Tipu got out, felt what could happen if WE dont win, felt as if all was lost when Kachra couldn't hit that sixer. And I really felt happy when eventually it rained, rain always does me happy :)
The year is coming to an end and when I look back on it, I feel really happy. I helped out a lot of people, did some good deeds, made people cry (thats not what I'm happy about), discovered that I can have a very loud voice :P, made a really good friend and lots and lots more. What amazes me is that time has gone by so soo quickly. I remember as if it was yesterday and 2006 had started and now 3 days to go and we will enter the year 2007. Seems so... unfair. Life has become so hectic, so fast that we dont even have time to relish the moments that we should, to care for the people that we should, to stop and soak ourselves when it rains (and not be worried about getting home quicker). Two-three days back, a friend asked "How goes the enemy?" and its so true. We really have become so soo busy and time really has become our enemy. There was a time when every weekend, I would go out with my brothers, my cousins, kids from the neighbourhood and go and play cricket in the scorching heat or shivering cold and nothing could stop us (well except school and homework and mom and and and... well you get the idea :P )
Life went by at a slow pace, we relished and savoured every moment (well except when we had exams, that is when life kinda stops and doesnt move atall :P), speaking of which, please pray for me as I have my exams. It's so unfair that my exams start when everybody is free of them, its so NOT FAIR but then... so is life.
A relative of a fellow blogger passed away, a fellow blogger, Sheza, left blogging. All I can say is "Zendai migzara" i.e "Life goes on". As harsh as it may seem, that is all that it comes down to. People come and people go, we keep on living, we must keep on living because, sadly... zendagi migzara
I pray that may Allah forgive the departed soul and grant him a place in Heaven. And for all the bloggers that have left, I'd say that keep blogging, no matter if its just a few words a year :P
Take care of yourself my friends and keep blogging :)

I'm back.. again :P

After many ermmm.. gentle reminders from my friend Zee, I'm back with yet another boring post :P
These days I'm really busy, unlike some people :P. NO, thankfully I'm not giving any exams but I pray for those who are going to have them. May all of you score really really good in your exams and pass with flying colors.
Nothing to write about these days, my routine has become so hectic that it's become hard to notice other things. The weather has changed though. It's really cold in the morning these days specially at 0500hrs. Yes I wake up at 5 a.m in the morning :P
Eid passed by, surprisingly my lil' cousins asked me for eidi this time. I mean it doesnt qualify a person to give eidi if he/she gets a job, does it ??? :P
Haan, if he/she gets married then its another case. So anyone who wants eidi, knows what to pray :P (and these are the words of a friend, not mine :P)
Although Eid-ul-Azha is a bit far away but people in our mohalla have brought bakras (I know its called goat but it doesnt just seem right :P ) and gayains :) and you can hear their errmmm sounds at night and during the day too :P
Thats all for today my friends, I hope it satisfies SOME people and they take the label of being... (dare i say it) "lazy" off from me :P
Take lots and lots of care friends, dont eat out these days with the fever spreading, eat healthy foods and save some for me too :P
