inshAllah if i ever make it to jannah i'm pretty sure i'll remember ribena

jummah mubarak all y'alls! so over here they say that if someone teaches you anything no matter how small they are your ustad. your teacher. so they deserve your respect. you owe them. that's how we should all treat those who teach us. including our parents. scratch that. especially our parents. so no matter how tough someone is being on you you're still indebted to them. show them you owe them. that's all for now folks. have an excellent day

busted nano in the kitchen. she looked over. i got the impression that drop it like it's hot ran through her mind. guess it just ran through mine

is it me or do you too feel like a dancing machine?

the perfect eyebrows. never been tampered with. pity they're lost to a guy

console myself of not slowing for a yellow by checking my rear view mirror to watch the other 3 cars immediately behind me break a red light

chillin' with one of my buddies from medical school. it's established that i need more girl friends. i'm taking applications but it really doesn't have to be that formal. that is all for now. at ease

baji is so funny. earlier i was playing a game of literati with her and she kept me laughing during most of the game. i was telling her how stupid my posts were getting and that i needed to stick to something intelligent. or at least not nonsense. she's like. and i quote. dude, i've got a panda giving reviews on cartoons... end quote. ok so that wasn't a real quote. cause it was funnier than that. man. sometimes you shouldn't talk about how funny it was

one of my cousins here insists on speaking to me in an accent especially formulated for me. i know this because i've heard him speak to others in english and it's not the same. my personal favorite is when i ask him to do something for me and he responds with a "m baaaji i canhot [sic]!" ofcourse i'm inclined to request absurd things just so i can hear him say it over and over again. something about repetition that's just always amusing to me

stupid song in my head

hey baby they're playin' our song
the buckinghams

hey baby they're playin' our song
the one we used to hear when we used to get along
hey baby they're playin' our song
let's get back together that's where we belong

it's the one with the pretty melody
it's the one that made you fall in love with me
it made us feel so groovy
we fell in love, just like in the movies

hey baby they're playin' our song
the one they used to play when we used to get along
hey baby they're playin' our song
let's get back together that's where we belong

pleasant memories are comin' back to me
can't you remember the way it used to be
it made us feel like dancin'
it gave us time to think about romancin'

hey, baby, hey, baby they're playin' our song

jummah mubrook. so it's raining out. and as we all know i dig it. water, baby, water. ha. i need some sunshine. where's yasminay when i need her?

caught a double matinee. i watched the incredibles earlier. you gotta go watch it. it's everything you expect and more. also saw garden state. that's a must see. i feel like i've become like mummy when it comes to watching movies. i haven't been watching too many lately so i absolutely love the few that i did. as in the two that i did. now that i finally have some time to relax a little. actually today was my day off from my life. or at least a couple of hours off. so i chilled with some friends and some family and some family friends. and a delicious nap to top if off

whenever you get angry there's this thing that happens to your voice. broheme and i have a sound for it. it's called dub dub dub dub dub

ever feel like

jocosity. recently stolen from one of my favorite reads

i got a call from this kid who says he remembers me from when we were in 2nd grade. now that's about a 1/4 of a century ago so i'm trying to recall who from 2nd grade was memorable. all i remember is my own family. the kid did name a few things that only someone who knew me from way back when would have known. is it me or would you attempt to look up someone from 2nd grade after so many years had passed?

happy birthday abu ji!

1st of moharram. happy new year to all dem muslims

lately i've been down about school. i didn't tell nano a thing and i've been discussing it with nana ji the whole time. i guess she was listening in on some of our conversations and felt how frustrated i am with everything right now so she gave me this poem. my nano is my personal hallmark card. it's now stickered inside my medical physiology text book

don't quit

when things go wrong as they sometimes will,
when the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
when the funds are low, and the debts are high,
and you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
when care is pressing you down a bit -
rest if you must, but don't you quit.
success is failure turned inside out,
the silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
and you never can tell how close you are,
it may be near when it seems afar.
so, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
it's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit.

the other day i committed the unforgivable sin of wearing socks with sandals. why do i do this to myself? socks with sandals. who comes up with this stuff? and why did i knowing full well that this was not a right but a wrong subject myself to this? these are the more important questions plaguing me. that and whether staying here to finish up schooling is such a good idea. by now as is not the case i thought i would be in it to win it [extra points for those of you who know which song i just referenced]

not sure if this is enjoyed by all but i could go for a quick sparring of words right now. back in the day this kid i used to practice jujitsu with and i decided that instead of bowing to each other prior to practice we would just do some trash talking to make it more like real life. as dumb as it was, i miss it

just drove home from lahore. dead tired. that's right folks! i just drove. on the motor way. in the dark. in the torrent [yes, torrent!] rain. up the salt mines [how cool is that?]. from lahore. to islamabad. in a 1000cc guddi. woo ha! i mean pshhh it was cake

saw jal play and THAT was fun. wow. those kc girls get wild. we also saw ali zafar play. kids from the crowd started throwing bottles at his head for him to quit playing. that was awesome. he had to actually dodge a bottle and then got hit by one. he finished up the song and probably went in the back and cried. pansy. then one of the teachers told all the girls to calm themselves and that he was whining that he wouldn't play unless the girls quit picking on him. ok so she didn't say exactly those words. i embelish. then he came back to play again. and it was established that whenever we want to say "oh that's just gay" but avoid that phrase in a disapproving public we can use oh what's up with that are you an ali zafar fan or that's very ali zafar like or damnit quit being ali zafar or i think he's an ali zafar fan. i got carried away. all in all it was fun good times for the girls of the fam

ok first off, jummah mubarak! second, trip to murree with class is cancelled. third, in the off chance that we find a brother type to take us, i'll be going to lahore later on today. fourth, there's a concert that maichoo, ushi, lali, td, imani, smalls and i will be going to if we make it to lahore. fifth, i'll get to fly a kite for the first time this weekend. last, gonna strut some churiyaan

detest that greedy behavior that people show regardless of how much they have. especially when it comes to food. the disgusting slurping sound they make when they see something delicious or the attempt at hording whatever they can or the things said in jest holding some truth [the one where the person telling the joke laughs the loudest] and reflecting their inner sickeness when they know it is a rare commodity. the correct word to describe what kind of behavior i despise would be chaval. yeah. i don't like it in people and unfortunately i see it in them. i wonder if it's seen in me

things that make me feel good
1. mummy
2. when you fast and nobody else knows about it
3. warm under a blanket when it's cold outside
what are a few things that make you feel good?

one of my uncles has a gutli in him. gutli is a mango seed. it's actually a fat deposit in his arm the size of a dime. it's great. every time i get a chance i attempt to feel it. it moves. you should try it

this ice cream is yum. i've come to a conclusion about me. i am desi. very in fact. and it is inevitable that i will have this belly for a while. if not now, then later. since i will stay a fatty, why fight it? henceforth, i denounce all fat free products. if i was the pakistani government i would ban it. has it been proven that fat calories make you dumb? did i just do that?
