Summer Vacations and Me….

That’s probably the only thing me and my mom agree on, for entirely different reasons though!
Don’t feel like writing much these days but I’ve vowed to make a new post everyday (for the foreseeable future ).
Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be able to offer something more substantial, till than enjoy the [...]

Age Of Innocence Where Art Thou….??!!

Either Life was extremely good growing up or I’m going through a really shitty time of my life rite now.
Not winning the Afternoon Cricket match, Played with a Broken Bat and a Plastic ball used to be the biggest disappointment.
Sitting with galz in class was to be avoided at all costs!!!  *They Have GERMS *
Having an [...]

I hate my thinking self.

When there’s electricity, there’s no gas. And when there’s gas there’s no electricity. But hey at least we are not getting bombed, right? wrong!!!! An army operation is underway barely at a distance of 15 mins from my home, in jamrud Khyber Agency. What a wonder full world we live in…………..
Sometimes when I am in a [...]

The Pakol Story

 
I bought Myself a Pakol today. For those of you not familiar with Pashto, its the Hat worn by the man in the picture. Its traditional for Pathan men from Afganistan and N.W.F.P to wear a Pakol. But it was given global fame by a man who was not a pathan. Ahmad shah Masoud a.k.a [...]

The Pleasures Of Shopping.

Today I was “lucky” enough to be asked to escort my mom and khala to the bazaar. My duty was to follow them looking like a lost and hurt puppy and occasionally pinch myself to make sure that I was still alive. I wont mention carrying the dozens of lead filled shopping bags as that [...]

Fighting for freedom!!!!

Living in Peshawar has many drawbacks, for instance there is no traffic system. Most of the people you meet are Pathans ( Please note that I am not a Pathan Basher, but there are only so much Pathans-are- gay  jokes to keep things interesting). Bomb blasts get less news coverage than Saima’s wedding. Rockets can [...]

How does it feel to be loved?

After finishing a ton load of assignments , Iam finally free!
There is a saying in my beloved urdu “Khaali zehn shaitaan kee aamaaj gah hua karta hai”  (An Empty mind becomes sattans abode)

Specially if that khaali zehn has been indulging in highly intellectually challanging ( read sucky) activities previously!
So i got thinking, How would it [...]

Weirdo in the rain!

It rained today in Peshawar, not for long but still something is better than nothing. I sat watching it under the shed in the back of our home. The rain drops were falling with loud splat like sounds on the floor. I wanted to get up and stand under the rain like I used to [...]
