Its the Season

This is zee best time of the year and you guys know why? Ok let me tell you.
Because it’s the “STRAWBERRIES SEASON” yaaaay. For me strawberries are one the best gifts of God, simply unmatchable. Its unique color is so refreshing *sigh* feel like having it now. My love with strawberry goes back to 4 years right after my graduation, since then I simply wait for its season to start every year. So the strawberries are back well they were back 2 weeks ago, but I usually wait for 2 weeks at least, that’s when best quality starts to come.

I would have them with sugar, nestle cream(ummm yummy), try out different recipes of shakes and this time I am gonna try home made vanilla ice cream with chunks of strawberries in it :D.

To inaugurate this year’s season, took couple of my friends to Flamengo at Boat Basin, it has the bestest strawberry shake one can have. I wont describe its tastes because am no good with descriptions but its simply heavnish. To all whom I have recommended this so far have simply loved it and I would ask all of you(in Karachi of course) do try and rest can send me their addresses and I shall try TCS ;).

Have fun, Have Strawberries ;)

PINK FLOYD - Sorrow

The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers,
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking
He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
He's chained forever to a world that's departed
It's not enough, it's not enough
His blood has frozen & curdled with fright
His knees have trembled & given way in the night
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
His step has faltered
One world, one soul
Time pass, the river rolls
And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
And silent replies that swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
A grim intimation of what is to be
There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder that words,
Of promises broken

Break

After working for more than 80 hours this week and finding no time at all for myself, family and friends. I reached a point where no Positive memo, Words of appreciation, Medal,Promotion or Raise meant anything to me, where word "BREAK" felt like having million dollars worth, where the dream of reaching home early burnt stronger than ever. Dont think I am giving up, no am not, I am just stating my feelings of last night(saturday) at 1 AM. Some stuff better be left unsaid....

Annaul Dinner

Difference of Perception

This post "Of Moons and Rotis" from a friend of mine Virtuous Lady is about how people have different way of looking at things(line taken from her blog :P). Just before reading this post I had an interesting argument with a friend which got me bit hyped-up too(should not have provoked me), didn’t save the log :(. Anyways she thinks that people who blog are actually desperate who have nothing better to do in life and are looking for fame. She used the word “khuwar”. And I guess we all bloggers know how inaccurate is this. It seriously pisses me off when people label anything which is unusual for them as lame and keep saying it at your face and include you in the similar category. I would call it extreme narrow minded thinking. And yea most ironic part is when you point out any of their weird habit they will call you narrow minded.

My new Cell :D

Gig

My colleague Abdul Ahad and his band performed today in front of 100+ crowd and I must say they made our time well spent. It was a good performance from those working or studying individuals, Yasir(whose home was the venue) was really good on vocals specially when he sang Aadat, Rangoon mein and Gun N’ Roses Patience. Ahad was simply at his best while playing the Lead and I do feel he should do it on regular basis. But the two kids who really impressed me were Talha and Ali(I think they were from CBM first semester). Talha was brilliant in playing flute, never heard anyone so fluent and matching lead guitar. Ali considering his age his vocals were too professional, he had an amazing control on his voice and the Fuzon covers he did were mesmarizing. All in all it was a great fun and made me re-evaluate myself.

Yes I have my new cell too :D, ok its not new its first owner had been using it since past one year but still its new for me :D.

PS: I am not good in writing reviews and certainly not good with choice of words

Call of Duty Part II

Should have been posted on saturday...

Was called upon on Today(Saturday) too, had to complete that project and submit it. Reached there at 3:30 and left by 11(all was done with changes floating in as usual), plan to get the new cell phone from a friend and a visit to Indulge went down the drain

Call of Duty

Had plans to goto Amir Zaki’s concert at Creek club. At 3:30 my team leader tells me, there will be some urgent tasks coming our way, I knew those will take some time to get achieve. I was fine with it, thought max it will go till 9 PM and that should be give me enough time to reach Creek on time. Little did I know that by the time I will be getting off it will way past 9 PM and much deeper into next day, my sign off time was 2:45 AM. There goes the concert, there goes any chance of having any sort of entertainment. And the best part from 3 PM till 1AM I had literally nothing to do, just sat, ate, slept and listened to music while browsing net aimlessly.
Something is seriously wrong somewhere.

We as Pigs, Dogs and Sheeps

The tragic incident with a Female Doctor at Sui and then its follow up events has proved once again how our nation has become numb to tragedies and sufferings of others. We have the capacity to take any event and live over it as if nothing has happened, not even giving a second thought about the victims. I myself have completely forgotten about until tonight I listened to Dr Shahid Masood host of views on news at ARY, reading out her letter which she wrote to him in order to clear out false stories roaming around in media. She had written each and every single detail of went on before and after the event, and the behavior and attitude of her employers and how they tried to cover this all up. It was heart breaking to hear that how the ones which have power in our society can get away with any crime they commit and how the poor souls suffer. Her husband has lost his job, their careers have been shattered, lives destroyed and there is no one in the population of 15 million to come out and support them. That is what we are simply Pigs or Dogs , crushing Sheeps where and however we can.

For last few days I have been quite busy and that explains lack of updates. On Thursday I was out with Nasir and other batch mates for dinner. Nasir is Controls and Instruments Manager at ICI’s soda ash plant at khewra. He was here for Eid holidays so we got together( just for one day , yea that is sad), had dinner , did loads of talking and had a good time. From Saturday till Monday there have been wedding and engagement functions to attend, I am now just sick of it don’t want to go anywhere anymore. And guess what just when I was writing these lines, here drops another invitation AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I feel like jumping out of the ground floor window.
This week hasn’t been best for me so far, suddenly work load has doubled and I have 2-3 different guys wanting me to finish their work first. Today was worst and I had a bad headache , too much of work and tension and really felt like kicking someone. Add to that a really good car deal was going which just broke off 20 minutes back. I wasn’t able to get time out to check for car papers myself and instead took someone’s help but it got delayed by 4-5 days and owner was in real need of money so he sold it today. The reason I am upset about it all, that car was in good condition and deal seemed good. Owner himself was a nice person and the car was referred and checked by a mechanic and all gave green signals. Just the damn paperwork and my stubbornness to get the papers checked. Some might say I did right to wait for papers but then the other party bought it too, so it all comes down to my bad decision making. And frankly now I don’t have any motivation to search for another one. Calling up people on Sunday and then asking my cousin for a favor to take me along to potential sellers is not something I am up to it. From past two months I had made my mind to look for one and so far have just checked three cars that should give an idea how appropriate this deal was for me. Worst fears coming back to life.
Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I just want to sleep.

The only great thing about the day was Pakistan wining an all important match in VB series and will now play Australia in finals. It was a truly tensed match and www.cricinfo.com really came in handy, Go Pak Go ;).
