utter helplessness and rumour mongering

yesterday was by far the most interesting sunday ive had in years.as everyone living in Pakistan knows we collectively suffered a power breakdown yesterday afternoon leading into the evening..for the folks up in NWFP it must have been so much worse cos they obviously had to fast one day before the rest of us..the breakdown kind of messed up their iftari plans..wow but what propensity do we have to spread rumours..all of a sudden the world was falling apart...tarbela's been bombed...lahore's ring road is getting electrical poles set up..no...regime change..PPP's in power..American invasion...nuclear installations and grid stations have been taken out...musharrafs had a heart attack...well for a couple of hours pakistani imaginations especially those belonging to the "chattering classes" had run amok.
for a few hours not having any electricity meant not having access to information and that made me feel utterly helpless..made me think how we've become so hooked and dependent on mordernity..if theres a slight hiccup that lasts a bit more than a hiccup should we kick into panic mode ..i guess its the day and age..war on terror/political instability...khair thank god for modernity cos i was able to use the internet on my cell to finally check out geo and see what the hullabollo was all about..we sure do live in interesting times..

ramzan mubarik y'all!!

the holiday that almost happened and pre ramzan jitters

man this sux!! i have had my dubai visa ready for the past three weeks but ive been unable to go cos of some unresolved stuff. now this "stuff" is on the point of being sorted out but will give me no time to go to dubai cos ramzan's round the corner.hehe talk about signs from God or plain rotten luck..haha..anyhows my visa remains valid for 60 days and guess when it expires..around eid!!!so ill end up paying more for a new visa or extension. the positive spin that i could give to this is that the weather will be gorgeous in Do-Buy..hmm this time round ill shop for new sweaters..must update sweater and jacket collection..jeez i cant believe im blogging about what im going to shop about...whats the world coming to?

ive decided im going to relaunch my gymming career during ramzan.how ill get the energy to lift weights and get on the treadmill after sumptous iftars is a bridge ill cross when i get there.i will have to cross it though cos ive been sitting on my ass doing all kinds of unhealthy things..so another pre-ramzan resolution...must get back into some kind of reasonable shift..

ah ramzan the time when i watch all the tv serials ive collected over the years...i wonder where my sunharey din and chand grahan tapes are..hehe...i think i should also renew my car insurance cos driving is going to get real crappy in the coming weeks.its funny how ramzan is supposed to make u stronger mentally and spiritually yet most people while fasting are just waiting to explode.hehe

my sisters as well as my best friend's weddings are coming up this winter and i have the unenviable task of preparing dances..khizzy if u have any good and new songs to suggest tht'd be great...im trying to do research by checking out the indian music channels periodically..but somehow the songs i like is by that aashiq banaya guy..but they're so hard to dance to for me at least..hehe..the wedding season..when ramzan's upon us u know the wedding season is lurking close by as well ..just thinking about the shaadi season right now has me drained..

till next time ta-ta

khizzy's tag

am thinking about...what to do tonight...parents are outta town..friends in town....

I said...love is like wine...u feel great initially but eventually end up with a hangover!(actually i didnt come up with it but ive said it a dozen times..hehe)

I want to..become filthy rich...have loads of influence and always live above the law..yeah baby!!

I wish...there were bars and nightclubs in lahore..

I miss...hmmm like khizzy i could say college but i guess ill say the good times..

I hear... city fm 89 alot!!

I wonder...y we as a nation are so dishonest and corrupt

I regret...not being near the sea

I am......many things to many people..haha so typical..but seriously i am a good, decent shy sometimes sly fella..

i think.....too much at times...over analysing stuff can lead to indeciveness..not good

I dance...when not in my senses..cos why would i want to embarass myself and those close to me by torturing people with my dance skills..

I sing...in the bathroom...these days its God save the queen...britain's national anthem.having colonial withdrawl symptoms perhaps..

I cry...in my dreams..crying is for wimps...hehe jk..

I am not always...right..woah thts something really big for me to say publicly..hehe

I write...nonsense,gibberish etc etc

I confuse...watching sport on the telly with actually playing it

I need...to shed some major weight..become visibly more friendly..also maybe go to the dentist..my tooths aching right now

I should try......to hook up with someone..im not getting any younger or prettier..hehe

I finish...by saying heres to a better tomorrow
