man this was one looonnnnngggg weekend...it seemed it would never end..im so not used to two day weekends anymore...first of all would like to wish everyone happy independence day..i saw such nice things yesterday that i wish i was able to take pictures and post em here.alas was driving..flag upon flag fluttering beautifully in the wind..yesterday was a gorgeous day here in Lahore...it rained quite heavily for a while knocking out the electricity and cable for a while...but instead of getting humid afterwards it was extremely breezy and overcast.14th august is like new years for me.a time for reflection. new years its more of an individual thing.14th august iis more about the collective..only difference is there are no independence eve parties..there should be..hehe..heard lots of positive stuff on the tv yesterday...heard some negative things from a couple of friends...a couple were of the opinion that there was nothing to celebrate...for me im proud we have our freedom yet its sad we've become insular, cynical, less tolerant over time...khair the thought that best encapsulates what i feel is when someone yesterday said that by talking to someone from palestine or lebanon one could get a very clear picture of what freedom is and what it means...i know 14th august is a day of despair for many...another year gone by of more and the same..i pray its a day of hope for the majority where they could look forward to a better year both for themselves and this land..

finally got to watch MI3,Xmen 3, pirates of the carribean 2 this weekend...like i said..its been a long ass weekend..
