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

Eid Mubarak

A very very happy Eid Mubarak to all of you. May Allah bless us all and...
ENJOY the SHEERKORMA :P

Take care fellow bloggers and enjoy the virtual cake :)

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.
