Currently the favourite game at my place is Who can we set Sohnii up with? The participants are my evil sisters and their some-what evil friends. The poor victim is me (and I am not enjoying it, contrary to what you think). The object of the game is to come up with an eligible bachelor, try to sell his idea to me and then attempt to fix the both of us up.
The ideal bachelors line-up has included, till now, their totally delicious, totally good looking, totally narcissistic friend. Rejected on the basis of being a big huge Snob. Next in line was their Chicago-born who had major brownie points for being an eklota bacha. Unfortunately, it turned out to be false information and he was, infact, the middle one in three brothers. So they rejected him too. (Funny that you should think I would be the one to reject a guy since I was being set up. It doesn’t quite work that way with this lot. They choose the guy, they reject him. Just adds to the list, as another one of those things I don’t really understand about them.)
Then their was the Super-nova Wolverine who happens to be pretty cute but shorter than me, and Crazy Mayo who is a friend of mine, cute in a very boy-next-door way but has the weirdest sense of humor this side of the planet. Him, I personally rejected. A girl’s gotta have her laughs proper. And now their nazr-e-karam has shifted to my friend Memphis. Please note my emphasis on the words my friend. That rejection was by me too, simply on the basis of those two very words.
The conclusion is that while they have their daily laughs, picking out guys and dissecting their very fabric of being discussing their personalities, I sit back and think being the youngest in their group isn’t so cool anymore. Like my dad always says, “its your curse. You have to live with it. Sag baash, duktarey/bache khurd na baash.” (Translated from Persian: better a dog then the youngest daughter/son.)

Sigh. I hate hospitals. Yes, this is coming from someone who is in 4th year of Med-school, just a year and a half shy from graduating. I hate hospitals. Even if they are as nice as AKU.
My friend's dad is sick. He had a stroke. Please people, everyone who reads this, please say a little prayer for him to get better. You might not know my friend, (he's a great dude by the way). You might not know his Dad, (I dont either). But he's someone's dad, someone's husband, someone's family. So please, just pray for him to get better.

Dad is here. Before I get used to the fact of having him around, he leaves. Two days are never enough.
I sent the email. Now, Im wondering two things.
1. Is that email address still working?
2. Was it stupid of me to send that email?
Something I read in The Garrick Year by Margaret Drabble. I haven't associated with anything so strongly since a very long time.
I find it takes very little time for me to become thoroughly bored. To me life seems to be perpetually on the verge of extinction, and I could bear anything rather than die in a moment of boredom. I feel that I am insulting something when I am bored. I began to miss London: it was not so much that I had many close friends there, for I have few friends, but I missed variety. My tastes are shallow; my life is shallow; and I like anonymity, change and fame. In Hereford I could have none of these things: I was condemned to familiarity, which beyond anything I find hard to mantain with ease.

The farewell made me realize just how much I will miss them. Before this I always thought of them as my sisters' friends. Now I realize that they have been my friends too for the past four years. Maybe not very close friends, not as much a part of my life as my regular group, but nevertheless, still my friends. I'll miss you guys. :(
Saw The Lake House over the weekend. It was a bit confusing to wrap my mind around the whole time glitch technicality thing at first. But I liked the movie. Yes, I did. Like most romantic movies, I loved this one too. Maybe I am too much of a sentimental fool to like all this romanic junk but kiya karein. They fill me with hope. And that's all I need most of the time. So yeah Lake House goes on my I Like list.

I feel good...
One of the nicest compliments I've ever gotten...
"I like your smile. You smile with all your heart. It says look at me, I'm happy within."

My baby's back... after two whole months, my baby's back!
Baby being mentioned here is my laptop whose little fan had died on me... so it went to get fixed with some guy my Dad knows... now after two whole months, my baby's back and there is no windows on it, no DOS on it, nothing except a black screen. The Mother-of-all-boards also died on me, apparently. And the page-up button has come off. Sigh! As we speak, Im trying to coax it back to life...

I dont remember where I heard or read this but for some reason, I've been thinking about it the whole day...
With perfect strangers, people we dont even know, we are courteous and kind. The people we love, however, our family, our friends, the rest of the works... these are the people who get our back lashing, our unkind words, our temper tantrums and our contempt.
Also have been thinking...
House job requires wokin for 36 hrs every other day for most of the one year here in Pakistan. I can hardly keep my eyes open and myself alert after 6-8 hours of college. How the hell will I manage after I graduate? Real world... Im sorry, Im not ready for you yet.

Lights are out. Its half past five in the morning and the lights went out some 45 minutes ago. Me and moti mao are the only ones up. Its hot. Well, not so much. But there are definitely a lot of mosquitoes that keep biting me. Do they bite? Im not sure. I know they suck blood. What’s the terminology I'm looking for over here? But anyway lights are out and I’m sitting here with nothing better to do except blog. Ive been trying to watch a movie since 3 am. Jennifer Aniston’s Friends with money. Its actually a pretty good one. I love the whole subliminal-deeper-message-touching-reality types. Something that keep me thinking till later on. Been watching Oprah’s 20th anniversary special edition too. Have gotten through two dvds with the help of a lot of tissues. That woman is bent on making me cry every 5 to 10 minutes. Whats with putting all the heart touching stories on the first dvd anyway. And I do like her show.
Its been raining like anything around here. Yesterday when Sana and I were out Chips n kebab shopping, there were mini rivers flowing on the roads outside within a matter of 10 minutes. It was a whole separate ordeal getting to the car then. We proceeded by swapping chappalz, me carrying Sana’s shoes and going barefoot till the car, making my way through the rivers and streams. No I'm not really the hippie type who dances in the rain, jumps in puddles and connects with Mother Nature. I do like dancing in the rain but jumping in puddles is just not me. And as for connecting with Mother Nature, I think I’ve done more than my fair share by letting these blood sucking mosquitoes feast on me. What can I say. Lol, I’m delicious.
So anyway there we were, making our way through river Nile, poor me bare foot, carrying groceries in one hand and Sana’s shoes in the other till we made it to the car. And what do you know. An hour later, her room got flooded by rain water coming through the connecting balcony door and her same precious, previously dry shoes were floating in it and well, not so dry anymore. He he (evil laugh)… I guess Mother Nature really does like me. So that was that for Naz and my best-laid plans. Karachi turned into a giant swimming pool and we decided to call our movie night off. After that I proceeded to eating all the noshes I had bought earlier for the two of us, while watching LOST. Hey if I was watching for two, I had to eat for two as well, nahi?
Now, its getting a little hot and im hoping the lights come back soon. Movie watching and finishing has been postponed till later. I just wanna have a good, non-sticky shut-eye.
Hmmm… other than that, the fact that I disappeared of the scene of blogging and all you lovely people missed me, it had much to do with our Pc modem dying on me, my laptop still with somebody else, going home for an engagement ceremony (not mine, you twits), and just being too plan lazy to actually write something, all in the above order. Hope you guys did all right without me (at least say Sohnii we missed you :D). I shall now have to bid all you lovely people adios. Im sticky and itchy and sleep deprived. But most of all, I'm hot (you know I am **wink wink**) And that my friends is a dangerous combination. So that’s it for today. Enjoy the rain and keep safe.

Motii Mao
Since my browser still refuses to show me verification boxes and I cant comment on people's blogs anymore, I shall have to resort to lower means... like commenting on people's post via writing my own blog...
So here's to Khizzy who wrote abt pets... :D I have one too, Khizzy, a cat, who is also gay, only its a 'she' and is actually not so much gay, but more of a anti-cat mano billi. She HATES cats. She really actually does. Wonder where she go that from though.

I like being looney at 2 in the night
At Mrs. R's place....
Mrs. R's dad: Kiya huaaaaaaa
Mrs. R: Aba chakkkaaaaaa marraaaaa
Mrs. R's dad: kis neeeyyyyyy
Mrs. R: Pakistaaaaannnn neyyyyy
(After 5 seconds)
Mrs. R's dad: Kiyaa huaaaaaa.....
And when the kids at her place wouldnt stop torturing the murgha, he ran (flapped?) to the roof and put his head into the loo there and commited suicide.
*****
:)
Janni Bhai's 8 year old cousin: If you wish hard enough, the ice cream van comes.
*****
Baby Titan (when he was 8, maybe 9) scribbled this down for Chicki. (This is something coming from someone who's always had a room that looked like a garage sale):
Ive learnt that just when you get the room the way you like it, Mom makes you clean it up.

Aunty H's daughter is a lark. At different instances during our conversation:
Her: My son was really tiny as a baby and I was scared someone would step on him so I wud carry him around all the time. My family gave him a nick name after that.
Mom: what?
Her: they started calling him my mobile.
Her: I didnt tel anyone when I found out I had Gall stones.
Mom: why?
Her: I was hoping they would get lost by themselves.

Da da da....
World cup's finally over...
Italy won. I am not that sorry, they played an excellent match... they were excellent on the field. Ive little (very very little) know-how of football but man, they were solid and quick. They deserved to win.
Still feel a little bad for Zidane and the career end with the red card but even then his head butt was awesome. And he still won the Golden ball Award...
So here's to Zidane and what the final for me was all about :D...

What Godzilla said to God when his name wasn't found in the Book of Life
A song title I came across... I have no idea what Godzilla said in case you were wondering...
Watching Fifa Finals:
Zinedine Zidane:
Ok I haven't been in awe of someone (at TV distance ) like this for a very long time. And this was even before I found out he was muslim (which is brownie points for me all the way)
Man, he is sooo amazing...
and seriously, this time not solely based on his looks. His whole attitude on the field is so zabardast... except for the latest red card header obviously. Haye I hope Zizou wins...
Oh and if anyone cares, he is a muslim, his origin being Kabyle from La Castellane, an Algerian Frenchman.
I really hope France wins the penalty shots... (will find out by the time I finish this post)
