Blog Word Of The Day: Words

2006-09-20T16:08:00.000+05:00

I'm a person of few words. I feel it says more...in terms of character and content.

Blog Word Of The Day: Rain

2006-08-03T13:00:00.000+05:00

You thought a different day had come
A day you thought the earth was done
And if you could have said it all
I know you would have said it all
I am the rain
I'm gonna reign this way again
-UNKLE

Blog Word of The Day: Believe

2006-07-26T19:38:00.000+05:00

I believe everyone was put here for a purpose.
Every organisation has that one "I know it all because I'm just better than everyone else around me". And more often we wonder why that person exists.
I believe it's a reality check of sorts.
I believe he/she has been put there to make us realise how much better we are because we don't argue for the sake of arguing.
I believe that annoyance has been put there to make us further appreciate the ones we already like and love.
To all you non-annoyances, thanks.

Blog Word of The Day: Enough

2006-07-05T18:26:00.000+05:00

I worked. It never felt like enough.
I put in my best. It never felt like enough.
I tried to please them all. It never felt enough.
Enough!!
I know it was.

It's been months since my last post. I feel like an amateur compared to everyone else on the blogwordoftheyday list, but I shall attempt to be a part of this weekly ritual at the very least, bloggingly speaking.

Last year this time while I was cutting my mithai - yes that's right it wasn't a birthday cake, but a piece of mithai - I had no idea that by my next birthday I'd be married...Sara you made this the best birthday EVERYET! Hussy, thanks for the best chocolate cake I've had in AGES!! Asad & Sami, two of the most unexpected grillers, thanks for making sure no one went hungry!

Coming Home

2005-11-20T22:56:00.000+05:00

I think at some point in life everyone wonders what it would be like to come home to that one person that makes all the difference. Last night I came back from my first time away from home after marriage.
Forget all the thoughts you've had about this moment.
Forget thinking and wondering how wonderful it would be.
Forget what you've imagined saying.
Forget what you've imagined feeling.
No amount of thought or wondering can prepare you for the feeling that overwhelms you once you walk in the door and are greeted with the most warm, welcoming smile...her smile.

Good Friends, Great Friends

Good Friends
You open up to them.
They're there during life-altering changes.
They know about the ups & downs.

Great Friends
They know how to make you open up.
They know what songs inspire your taste in music.
They know your favourtie food.
They know all those little things...

Boys Will Be Boys

2005-10-08T13:10:00.000+05:00

Someone called it the holy month of cricket... stemming undoubtedly from the phenomenon we in Pakistan know so well as 'night cricket'. A gathering of friends, team mates, 'night-cricketers'. There's always a list of your usual suspects - the non-cricketing sort who gets his 1-minute of fame because of a fluke shot or a well calculated catch - the brash loudmouth who complains about everything, and i mean everything - the talented friend who shines through while up at bat..the list goes on. Cold nights when winter's approaching, or hot muggy (mostly typical) karachi nights, night cricket's got a loyal following. It's just good wholesome fun with boys being boys at their best...or worst.

It's Been A While

2005-10-08T12:40:00.000+05:00

Forgive me people, for it has been 4 moths since my last post...not that most people would really mind this. It's not like I put up Pulitzer material!
Moving right along, a lot has happened over this time...I don't even know where to begin...
Wait, not true. I got MARRIED!!!! The biggest, bestest change anyone can ever ever expect.
Sara and I honeymooned on an island paradise (and in a growing metropolis). We began life together. I danced...willingly i might ad! We had our first ever house guest! I can't wait to see what comes our way tomorrow.

Changes

2005-05-02T15:27:00.000+05:00

Always inevitable.
Always with reason.
Always for the better.
This time's thinking out in text is due to, you guessed it, changes.
Changes in my life that I see happening every day.
Changes that were set in to motion by a simple 'Yes'.

All In A Name

2005-03-26T10:51:00.002+05:00

It's interesting the names people choose for their blog spots. Does it reflect who they are? Does it reflect who they once were? Does it reflect anything at all?

The Evolution of People

2005-03-19T02:38:00.000+05:00

Over time everyone changes. It doesn't take much to realise the changes in people no matter how small. Sometimes you realise these changes quicker than the person undergoing this evolution of sorts. Other times you completely miss the process, and often end up simply wondering 'What happened?'

Nothing,though, compares to the change one person can make to your life. A simple realisation, a complex series of thoughts and feelings that opens up new truths about you to you, or just feeling right about something or someone! And just like that life's thrown you for a twist, a fantastic twist, a whirlwind of emotional highs. Life doesn't get better than this.

Surprised?

Lust 69%
Wrath 66%
Pride 40%
Greed 20%
Sloth 10%
Envy 10%
Gluttony 6%

And so it begins

Never thought myself to be someone who'd put up random thoughts in writing.
Though I must admit I do like the idea of posting.
Moments fade fast, thoughts fade faster.
Not anymore.
