yesterday i passed out from exhaustion. to think, i laughed myself into a headache and slept only cause i couldn't physically handle staying awake and being coherent at the same time. i'm in lahore for maisoun's wedding. i stayed away as long as i could and then i had to break down and come here earlier than planned. uncle will help me study if i stay here a couple of extra days. until then i'll relax and try to soak in anything i can by studying early in the mornings before the masses awake while i'm here. we went to the farm for a swim under the stars. it was so cool. literally. with the moon shining above us. i got to enjoy that for 2.5 seconds. after that there was a whole bunch of screaming, splashing, laughing. and. well. you know how we do. oh and we played this game we made up. something about a mean lady that lived at one end of the pool and she would catch someone from the other end of the pool and they would become the mean lady. regardless if they were a boy named abdullah. a distorted version of tag. then we tried to appease mus ala mus and had to jump out of the pool when he stripped and thought to whip us with his swimming trunks. after eating everything in site we thanked zafar taya and afshi tai for letting us pee in the pool and eat all their food and reminding them that that's what family's for and came home to more gup shup and laughing. whew! abu ji, mummy, broheme, l, hbiddy and ism i missed you all so much. you really would have enjoyed this shadi ka ghar atmosphere
