2 days of extreme fun, it almost felt like those good old days of hostel life were back. We chatted, took on each other, played loads of cricket and had some luvly food. I think it was first time after our graduation that five of us were together and that is the maximum number of us being together after 30th May 2000. Life mashAllah say gets at its best when I am with them and makes me realize how blessed I am to have such wonderful people with me. I thank them all. Nasir and Awais have gone back to their respective working towns. Ather is in Lahore where his wife and 1 year old son landed a night back and Sajjad is on leave.

Wednesday is gonna be a big day, its Hammad’s Convocation and since Abbu couldn’t make it so I will be accompanying Ammi to GIKI. It will be my first visit after October 2000 and am sure like last time it will be highly emotional, especially when just 2 days back I was with those special people who were there with me. I am not really thinking about it much because it wont help and I will try my best not to think much. Lets hope it all goes well. As far as for my schedule I will be flying tonite and will be back inshAllah by Thursday night yup it is one short trip I can’t afford much leaves right now from work.

Anyways till then take care all of you and I shall c you soon :).

Ather is already here, Awais and Nasir will be flying here tomorrow for the weekend and I have taken Saturday off . We have planned a lot for this short reunion. Looking forward to it. A lot is happening at workplace and I mean a lot.

At sports end Team Pakistan has won the first ODI against West Indies, it was a boring match, I felt that both teams were competing each other who will bat worst and in the end West Indies beat us there :D.

Sad Day II

Although this post should have been right after the next day to the previous one, but a very close friend’s marriage and then extra work load after his departure for his honeymoon and more importantly my laziness and recently my screwed internet connection made me not to write/update.

Anyways, the day after my adventure a friend of mine had to part ways. I wont go into details of that, just want to dedicate this post to him and the seven months we spent at work. Initially it was just a hi hello but the day I mentioned to him that I was at GIKI there was no looking back. He happened to be a very close friend of my hostel mates and since he wasn’t from this town so I found it my duty to make sure that his stay in Karachi is as memorable and comfortable as it can get. I don’t think I had a major success with that but nevertheless I tired. At least he had fun at times.

My social life saw its peak during those months. It had theater, concert, eating out, shopping and trips to sea view. Apart from that we both are huge Pink Floyd Fans and shared similar thoughts on many subjects(except few) so naturally we had to become friends plus the kind of companion I was looking for at work place from a long time was there. Its very crucial to have a like minded soul at work place(I am not saying there is no one like that, there are quite a few who I get along well) it helps you to stay fresh and u can take out all the frustration.

Anyways coming back to my buddy. I have seen very few people who would go to any length to help out their friends, one man I know would always be there. Always there to help out and give advices. Possesses great knowledge, you ask him any question about anything and majority(infect almost always) of times he would have a fairly large explanation on it and will definitely satisfy you. Good sense of humor, very fond of eating, a very capable aero modeler and a very honest man.

It wont be easy killing time at work without his presence. I would definitely miss our entertainment sessions which used to start anytime during hectic working hours. Our daily coke trip to dahba that included Aman as well(now he is gone too). Going out for lunch and etc etc.

There is a lot that can be written but I am no good with words so I shall end it here. All I know that the feeling of not having friends in town which was quite dominating for past 4 years and when it was finally beginning to faze out. He had to go.

I really really Thank you for everything you did for me and making a difference.
I wish you all the best in your career and life. Although we will be meeting on and off but the past days will not be returning unless I join the same work place which you do ;).
