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

Brush up your spelling :)

Today was quite an interesting day. I was at the Dawn Spelling Bee today and it was very exciting. The children were so well prepared and the anticipation and enthusiasm on their faces was very exciting to see. Specially when it got to Sudden Death for the decision for second place :), that was quite tough. It was a great experience. I'd say do visit the competition and see for yourselves how talented these children are.
I know this seems like a very random and incomplete post but my internet is playing tricks and I want to post something before it dies completely :)
Take care and keep blogging.

The FLU!!!

Atishoooooooooooo !!!!
Yup, thats what's happening this weekend. I've got a very bad flu. atishooooooo. yup thats how bad it is :).
The weather has finally gotten to me. I mean I was waist deep in cold rainy water and nothing happened, I was outside soaking wet almost everytime it rained and nothing happened. And I had to catch flu the easy way, came out of the shower and atishooooo. One small sneeze and it began. Now not only do I have a bad cold but a fever too. Thank God it's the weekend coz I can't imagine going like this to the office. Pray for me friends that I get well soon. I tell you, having a flu is so boring, just lying there on the bed, sneezing like crazy. Stay away in case you catch it :)
Take care fellow bloggers, atishooooo. :D

RAIN!!!

Oh My GOD!!! There was soooo much rain last night that I am simply unable to explain it to you in words. There was so much rain, so much rain that everywhere you looked, you could see only water. Let me tell you from the beginning about what happened to me yesterday.
It started to rain really heavily around 4, my office gets off at 5, I left the office with another colleague in his car and we had 3 other colleagues with us who lived on the same route. When we came on the main road, there was so much water and it was raining so heavily that believe me it was impossible to see what’s just two feet away. The journey to my home from my office usually takes around 2 to 2.5 hours. I’m a bit bad with names of places and addresses so I actually don’t know which route we took, but whichever way we went, the only thing that was visible was water.
After traveling for about 2.5 hours we had completed 25% of the journey & that is when we had the adventure of our life. We took a seemingly right turn, which turned out to be very very wrong. Water started to fill in from under the doors of the car and we were sitting in waist deep water in the car and then the car’s engine stopped. Three of us jumped out of the window because we couldn’t open the doors as more water would have poured in. We then started pushing the car, which was floating actually and we were in about waist deep water while we were doing this.
The main danger to us at that time was of broken electricity cables, because we did hear that people got electrocuted in the same area, where we were pushing the car. The other seemingly less dangerous thing was the danger of open manholes & while pushing the car we were also hanging on to it incase anyone of us dropped in one.
I don’t know how to tell you this but it was nothing short of a miracle that the car started afterwards and if anyone saw a car in which 3 people were using glasses to throw water outside from the car then that was us :)
We decided to go to another colleague’s house near our office, we got there at 11, stayed the night there and I got home at 7 in the morning today. You can imagine how high the tide was by the following picture that I took from my cell during the journey (the lightning was bad and don’t u dare say anything about my cell’s camera :D ) and yes this is a road, NOT a river.



And incase you were wondering, I still LOVE rain and I enjoyed myself yesterday :D
