DAY 85

All’s well that end well but why am I mentioning this in the beginning of my blog today? The person who was really angry with me due to my second last blog is now relaxed & happy. Well! I really don’t know if it was my words that changed her destiny but I know it was defiantly the prayers. I came to know that she cried after reading my blog which really hurt me but somewhere during her cries, GOD heard her & suddenly something happened in her favor. Thank you GOD for not hearing anything that she said about me during the cries.

I did share the comments with one of my friend which were posted by her on that day & which I did not allow to publish. When he read them he was stunned. He was asking me to remove the blog of that day but after reading the comments, I just asked him should I. He was speechless but I was calm coz I knew that in anger most of us do write or say words that they never wanted too. So now all ended well as she is happy & I’m satisfied with my blog activity. Now I believe I can bring a revolution in lives with my words or I can really create very good number of enemies.

I really wish the Pakistani Cricket Team could read my blog too so either they start resigning from their posts or they start playing. I’m sure now the ICC would be thinking of taking back the World T20 Champions title from them after looking at their last few games. They even lost a practice match. I think someone should force them to read my blog because sometimes I really feel that they cannot even win against the blind team. Who should we blame? The Executives of the Cricket Board are even useless. I think we can only blame ourselves for everything because in the end we are the one choosing them to lead us…

Me, my friend & my re-friend, we had a very fantastic group chat yesterday. I wish I had saved it because it started in a sad tone but in the end almost both of them were laughing like crazy. Why not me? Well! I’m not crazy but I really know one hell of a crazy family… Nah I cannot tell you which one because sometimes you have to keep a secret.

DAY 84

Yesterday’s blog hurt someone’s feeling which was not my aim. Therefore, I apologize on my words. I had been rude with the words but it was never my intentions to hurt anyone’s feelings. The comments I have received were full of anger. With due respect, I am not able to publish those not because you called me names or asked me to go to hell but only because once the comments are posted, everyone would know who I was talking about. So just to avoid names I am not publishing your comments.

Regarding my last blog, my aim was to create a power in you so you can standup & face it. Not being your enemy in any way. If it was a war, would have mentioned names but I did not & I never mention names. After reading all your comments, I felt that heat of anger that you need to stand against your life but instead of using that anger there, you used it on me. I really don’t mind as I know anger made you write all that. I know I am no one at all to judge anyone’s life. My words were only there to make you feel that life is slipping away & not to insult you. If I had to insult you I would have mentioned your name.

Why take my words in negative? Being honest, after reading your comments I felt that anger in you to change your life & not let anyone play with you. That is all what I wanted although I have no relation with you but never wanted to hurt the feelings as well. I apologize once again.

I would also request you to remove your comments from Facebook not because you have called me names or have insulted me directly but just so you are not insulted as your friends can read your comments & then they might read my blog. I will not remove them as I respect each & every comment in or against my words.

DAY 83

There was a time in our culture that a girl would always feel shame while telling that she is pregnant but now time has changed. My colleague is going through the process of being a mother & she told everyone with a smile on her face & confidence. Time has really changed… Even a wife used to take time to tell her husband but now even friends & colleagues know the upcoming event.

Another friend of mine, ops! Not mine, friend of my friend, is going through tough times. She fell in love with someone who is nowadays living with some other girl. According to him there is no one to take care of her, so he gave her a place to live. Soon there won’t be anyone to take care of this friend of my friend & again he might give her a place to live. This girl has no guts to tell her family that she really don’t want to get married to this guy. The marriage is scheduled sometime this October.

So the question is why she cannot tell her family? Well according to my friend she can’t take a bold step as we men can. So that means you have to go through all that even if you don’t want to? In a sense, yes. Girls in our culture have to accept the decision of their families. Can you believe this? In this same culture there is a girl that announcing her pregnancy & there is a girl that call’s herself tomboy & can’t do a thing about her life. Wow! What a culture we have. I have only one question to ask. If you cannot do anything then why the hell cry? Just accept it & live with it coz you don’t have guts to take a step. When you had to tell your family that you liked that same guy, where the hell this courage came into you? You can tell them that you like a person but you cannot tell them that you hate a person? Wow… Sure you are a tomboy & yes you deserve a clap.

My ignorance to the person in my office is still in process. She (The story teller) has now started to feel that I am ignoring her but does it make a difference? Well! Hell not to me. I am happy the way I am but a bit disappointed as did not get the opportunity to slap her. She’s a lucky b____.

Oh! Just heard a sound. No not of a slap or a clap. It was the thunder. Thanks GOD the weather has changed. It has been raining only in the night for the past two days which has really dropped the temperature & I hope it continues as the anger inside me has already raised my temperature & I cannot afford more heat.

DAY 81

I really did not feel writing anything during my weekends as I wanted to relax with no words to share. All this time I kept on singing a really nice song of Kishore Kumar & the lines are… KISI BAAT PAR MAIN KISI SAY KHAFA HOON (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x896fItBVuk/). So why I kept singing this song? Well! My last blog can explain that.

What is that thing that you most hate in an office environment? Well! What I hate the most is politics and this is what’s going on right now in my office. I mentioned a person in my last blog that made up a story about me & pictured herself as being insulted and one of the most innocent persons on this planet after our mistakenly selected Minister of Water & Power. She still poses as nothing ever happened but I am still controlling my anger as I am really scared of it coz once it’s on me, I really don’t care about anything and as a result I might definitely insult her by either slapping her or by shouting at her on the floor reveling her dirty tricks. Hopefully this anger stays away from me, hopefully…

So why did I mention the Minster of Water & Power again? What did he do now? Well! The question should be why didn’t he do anything at all so far. Simple coz he has nothing to do. Can you believe his statement that we have to bare few more days? WE??? How can he say we? He is not even part of us. It is just YOU not WE. Does the electricity at his residence go away every 1 hour? No way, then how could it be WE? All his statements are useless and bullshit. Sooner or later I am having a feeling that people will start beating him publically after each & every nonsense statements of his. Ok that is not just a feeling but my wish too…

Oh I forgot to thank someone that was concern about me after reading my last blog. Thank you for not sharing your concern directly with me as according to you my mobile is out of order & perhaps I don’t check my emails at all. I know it really doesn’t make any difference to you but thanks anyway for showing your concern.

DAY 78

Is there a time in life when you actually start hating or ignoring your life partner? Well! It must come because nowadays it’s all over my UK boss. He is in love with a girl (Not suitable for any living being in this world) even being married. Why am I writing this or mentioning her? Last evening in the office this girl made up a story & told my UK boss who is not only blind in love but also trusts each & every word of her. The story was that I emailed the admin department saying she is disturbing the office working environment. Well! She was doing this but I did not email anybody even after being tortured by her horrible singing. Now I wish I had. So now this bossy boss of mine has started pointing out my mistakes. Well! I have decided to ignore her from now on & as for the boss, he will learn his lesson one day. Are rules made for everyone or they are made for just a few people? The second portion is true because all the rules are for us in the office but for her is only love. That is the only reason people say love is blind.

In my last blog I mentioned the Punjab MPA who stole a credit card & did shopping & was denying. She has now resigned from her post. Now why would she resign?? Guess her driver told her too or was it her butler. Oh no it was his father. I even mentioned yesterday in my blog that The Supreme Court has taken their decision back over the raise for electricity tariff. Yes they have but they have also instructed NEPRA to inform before applying any raise in tariff. Good! So they did not join them, at least.

The ex-President of Pakistan said that if PPP leader would have been alive, he still would have been the President and he also whispered in a crying voice that then no Chief Justice would have sent a notice. Damn! She has to leave. To be very honest, no one in the PPP even care who killed her, how she died. They all are happy with their current posts & as usual our idiotic & foolish Pakistani public, always forget everything so easily so no one has even asked once that what happened to those words that “We know who killed her & when the time will come, we will revel”. Can anybody tell me when will be that time? Anybody? Hello? Anybody there? Ah sleeping as usual…

DAY 77

Once again the Minister of Water & Electricity has assured that the shortfall of electricity will be ended till 31 December but again he did not mention the year so when they will be asking for votes the next time, they will have an excuse that it was about to end but unfortunately the 5 years completed. They even want the public to be calm. Could you stay calm without fans or air conditions in a temperature of 45-50C? I think you should because you do not deserve these at any cost. I request you all to vote for them the next time as well & the next time after that so we can at least completely finish the short fall of everything because they would need at least 15 more years to fix this & it would not be fair to them if we do not even give them a chance. Come on at least they deserve 15 more years. It’s not an easy job.

Now give me at least one good reason not to write against these officials. Please I beg you to give me at least one reason. Just one please. God I just can’t believe this. They can put PPP flags all over the capital and the cost comes from the taxes that we pay but we cannot have electricity for which even almost everyone is paying. I don’t even understand one thing. When there is no light almost half the day then how come we still receiving the same bills that we used to receive when there was light.

The Supreme Court has taken back their decision of suspending the raise of tariff of electricity. Why? Really have no idea but a very good decision because now or later the Chief would have been removed once again. So this time go with the government. If you can’t beat them, join them.

The Punjab MPA who stole a credit card for shopping is still denying it. She said that she did not steal the card. So then who did? Your driver, your butler, your laundry man, your milkman or was it your father? Father? Yes! Because she said that all I had was my father’s credit card. I think we should investigate his father instead of her coz I’m having a feeling that either he might be having an affair or his father has changed his sex & name as well.

So clapping once again for us “The Public” for choosing these officials and naming them “Our leaders”. Hope you all know where they will lead us to. One thing only comes to my mind and that is behind bars…

DAY 75

Today I have decided to end the Lahore trip on my blog, so let me see where I left it. Ah! So there it was. The train on which we had to travel back to home parked beside the Indian train waiting with a new adventure for us. I will name it the “Adjusting Adventure”. As soon as we stepped inside the train we set on seat 84 & 85. Started waiting for that one passenger that will be seated on 85 so we can request him to sit on 92 as we wanted to travel along. There came the passenger. He was with his family & he got stupid seat numbers himself. So he set with his wife waiting for the other passenger that would be seated on that chair he was occupying so he send him to the seat that I was on. Oh GOD! This is so complicated. Is it? Well! If this is complicated then wait & tell me what the hell is next. I went to the seat 92 which was assigned to us to see if the other person would change the seat but he refused. So when I came back, I saw a passenger sitting on the seat which I left vacant & my friend arguing with him. I reduced the argument by my politeness & request mode & asked him to take that seat which he got ready for so while I was taking him to that seat another passenger came to my friend saying that it is his seat. I looked at him & walked to him while the other guy that I was taking stood there with no comments. Again I convinced him to take my seat & I took him there and ask him to be seated here. I came back relaxed & after 3 minutes another person started staring me & said it’s my seat. Now who the hell was that sitting on my seat? I took this guy to my seat & when we reached there, the scene was changed. I saw a girl sitting with her mom & when I said it’s my seat she started requesting me to let her sit. Oh GOD! Now what? The person who came with me was a nice one so he said, you go there & sit I will get my self a seat. I came back & now started waiting for someone else to come & stare me which thanks GOD did not happen this time. So I convinced 3 peoples in half an hour to get that seat. That is an achievement.

The journey started and the train started moving towards the destination & we started discussing every moment we spend in Lahore. The train kept on moving but it stopped at almost every station. Throughout the journey I noticed that there was one girl in covered face with her family & she kept on sending sms or kept talking to someone on her mobile. BOY! What a stamina… I really can’t do that coz my thumb start hurting me if I keep on sending sms(s) and I don’t really remember but the mobile she was using was Nokia & it did not die on her throughout the journey. Wow! What a battery life. During the journey my friend said let’s make a bet. Who ever get more numbers of sms(s) would pay for the drinks after the journey. I loved it as I again won it by 14:06. He never thought that it would happen but it did thanks to the so called good friend of mine, the same one that ignored me…

At 10:30 we reached the city & I informed my family that I’m back & so did he. We went to drink fresh juice & yes he paid for it. From there I took a taxi back home while he was near to his home. Reaching home I was so tired but my family was waiting for my story & if I bought something for them. Oh GOD! I forgot. You know why this happened? All because of my dear friend as he planned to buy something & then when I reminded him we were don’t even know how far from that place coz he did not even know the name of the place.

If I have to rate this journey, I would rate it PG but you learn every time while you have an experience. What did I learn? I learnt that the person with me throughout the journey is a great human to be with coz you can always judge a person very easily if you get a chance to travel with him. All’s well that end’s well.

DAY 74

Was not really feeling to write anything for the past two days as I just wanted to relax & do nothing but even this can’t be done on weekends as each member of your family looks at your lazy behaviors with those suspicious looks & ask are you taking us out or not. Well! I don’t answer that coz I know what could be the result.

So I left the journey of Lahore on the “Yaadgar” with a link of Aamir Saleem’s song on my last blog. Let me take you back there. I think I can write a whole book on my trip to Lahore. Can you believe it that it was last weekend when I was in Lahore & still I have not finished my journey in the blog.

So there we were beside Menar-e-Pakistan taking some snaps & fighting with the heat. Kept on drinking water & trying to avoid strange beggars. After wondering around the Menar, we decided to walk towards the Qila & Badshahi Mosque. I have been here before as well & the last time I missed the Qila. So we decided to go there first. As we went towards the ticket window, there was a very strange sign saying “For foreigners ticket price = 200/Rs.“ I was just wondering when suddenly a girl in a group standing just beside us asked the same question from the person on the other side of the window that how do u know they are foreigners. Question was totally valid as no one shows his/her passport. What if someone from India? They would never recognize. The person was speechless. Good going girls…

We started wondering inside the Qila & found it so bad in shape. It was taking a huge space but nothing much to see as no one ever cared for it. There was renovation going in some of the areas but don’t really know how long it will take them to bring it back into a good shape. They can never bring it to its original shape.

Now after visiting the Qila we were so tired that we decided to go back. Back where? Well back to the station & back to the home sweet home. We took a chingchi & there we were back from where we started a day back. We went to the info counter & then to the ticket counter & took two tickets for the first train back to our home. The generous lady that handed over the tickets to me did not even mention the seat numbers on the ticket. I noticed it went I was standing at a store & ordering some snacks. I send my friend back to the stupid lady while I shopped for some snack. When we got the numbers there, it was 84 & 92. Are they near to each other or are they opposite. So just to reduce my confusion I went back to the same stupid lady & asked the question & she said you would have to adjust as there are no more seats available. Oh GOD! Adjust... This is a story itself.

Sitting on the station, having our so called lunch with some drinks, discussing the trip & waiting for the train which was thanks GOD not late. We even received the call from that same friend that ignored me at Pizzahut that don’t go now. Your tickets would be paid. Go tomorrow. Yeah sure, so I could be ignored again. No way was the answer & you would again have to wait for the upcoming adventure….

DAY 71

So it had been a very busy & hectic day & almost after 30 hours we took our first official nap. I really don’t know when I felt asleep or even did I sleep at all because I was awake when my friend slept & even I was awake when my friend ended his nap. So I’m really not sure did I sleep or not.

The next morning was even more hot in weather than the previous day. I think now even Lahore did not want any more people on the land. We had our breakfast. Can’t say early as it was 10 in the morning. My dear friend ordered 3 parathas with eggs & I think I only ended up eating half of it as I was on phone with my family. So he took the advantage & I took the half only. No he is still a really nice guy. After our breakfast, we started our journey inside Lahore after checking out of the hotel by first visiting the Darbar which was only 10-15 steps away from the hotel. Ok for my friend it was 20-25 as I am the with long legs. Entering the Darbar, I read the note very clearly that not to pay more than 2 Rs/- for a pair of shoes. Wow I have to get my shoes back by paying. These are mine. Why to pay to get them back? I had paid when I bought them?

It was really a nice & religious environment inside the Darbar but just near the wall of it a shopkeeper was playing Indian songs on a deck at as loud as he can. There goes the religious part. We went there & prayed for the dead ones & then prayed for that friend that ignored me while leaving PizzaHut. Prayed for my family & everyone that surrounds me. The only thing I hate is that people actually praying & doing “sajdas” to the dead ones. So ignoring those stupid people, we walked around & then left. Came back to take our shoes & he asked for 20 Rs/-. I pointed towards the board & ask then what the hell is that 2 Rs/-. He said it’s only for Thursday like I have just come from America. I asked him show me the Thursday word written there & he was quiet & said ok give what ever you feel. I still gave him 10 Rs/ as I know they are poor people but did include a line saying that you should not lie just to make them ashamed but I am so damn sure that they must have ignored it.

After coming out of the Darbar we went back to the hotel as we left our bag there & told them that we will be collecting after visiting Darbar. Then we planned to walk towards Yaadgar (Menar-E-Pakistan). Reaching at Yaadgar, we took some pictures & went as near as we can to the Menar but unfortunately we were not able to go all the way up as they had closed the doors & I really don’t know why. All this time I kept on singing Aamir Saleem’s song “LAHORE”. (http://www.esnips.com/doc/253d9f7c-4c4f-42cf-b673-ce69e4c6ca9c/lahore)

DAY 70

That day when we left PizzaHut with a guilt in our hearts, I came to know that guilt is also served at PizzaHut. Who was at fault? Well the SMS says not me but my other friend & if that was the case then what the hell did I do? I guess nothing but someone’s anger dropped on me. After receiving that SMS, my temperature even raised higher then the outside temperature & I decided not to talk to that friend of mine. So the friend with me kept on asking me to be cool throughout the journey back to the hotel & when we reached there, no lights. Now people tell me not to criticize on government. Well! Once you are in a hotel room for an hour without light & your mind is already boiling, I’m sure you won’t praise the government.

So we kept on talking for an hour & had a real good argument which I eventually won and transferred all my guilt on my friend coz it was his mistake according to the message. After this really not felt staying in Lahore even for one more second & planned to leave the next minute but then he started an argument with the friend that ignored me & left us at PizzaHut & I had a bit of sleep. Oh! We had a plan to visit Wahaga Border but due to the false guidance of the hotel staff we missed that.

We went out of the hotel at around 10:00 in the night & planned to visit Fortess. I did spoke to my family at that time & he spoke to his & we both planned to take something for them. We kept on asking people from where to find the transport for Fortess & they kept on guiding us in wrong direction but we did reach there as we took the rickshaw & broke the rule not to take any. Reaching Fortess we found huge crowd there walking around in no directions or perhaps just wondering what are they doing there. Even we kept wondering that why are we here & guess what, no answers but we had a good chat & made each other felt good & I was even calm now. We planned to skip the dinner as none of us was feeling hungry & we planned that we will visit a few more places next morning. It was almost midnight when we planned to go back to the hotel but it was still looking like 9:00 at night as almost all the roads were filled with heads moving around. We planned to walk half the way & then broke another rule by again taking a rickshaw back to the hotel.

Reaching the hotel we had a fresh juice before going to the bed as my friend felt drinking something. So now we were in separate beds & I was not even sleepy but he took no time & was out. So all the night I was talking to ghosts & he was just using simple templates of yes & no or hmmm… So what could go wrong now? How about turn off the lights? Well we never got the chance to do that as WAPDA is always there to assist you in turning off your lights & taking away your naps. The journey continues…

Wednesday, July 15, 2009

DAY 69

Was not in a mood to write anything today but then would miss the remaining part of my trip. So we were actually in Lahore rented a hotel, had our breakfast & the next minute out of the room on the streets of Lahore. The weather was changing as if someone informed it that we are here so be hot on us so we don’t stay long. Already too much population in Lahore so can’t afford more coming in.

This time we took a public transport. We had to meet our friend & had plans to have lunch together. Well plans were to have breakfast too but our friend was so slow that we decided to have the break a bit faster. So we were asked to be at Hafeez Centre in 30 minutes & our confused friend was there in just 15 minutes. I guess our friend loves standing in hot weather. It actually did take us 30 minutes as when ever you want to be early at some place, you always get late and especially when you have this friend along who has record of being late on daily basis.

For the first time we meet this friend & it was a really nice. We moved around in rickshaws on the same street three times searching for Masooms which was actually not even on that street that we were travelling. So we visited CTC. Nice peaceful atmosphere there. It was my first visit there. Don’t usually go to places to have an expansive coffee but yes it was fun. We had lots of talks & there I discovered that I speak a lot. After spending a really good time there we again started searching for Masooms which we were again failed to find as our confused friend was lost in the city. This is the same city where my friend actually lives & being living there for a long time. Oh! But later we did find it as we accidently passed by it.

Went to Pace to do some window shopping & not even bought a single thing coz it was disappointing that there was no window to shop. There we decided after so many arguments that we should have pizza in lunch so our next destination was Pizza Hut.

Pizza Hut is always a place where u find peaceful environment & of course PIZZA so we ordered but even that order took us 10 minutes because there I felt both of my friends cannot even make a quick decision. They left the last decision on me to choose the flavor & I did not as when I started choosing it they started giving ideas which were not coming out when the menu was in their hands. I think they saw the prices first & got lost in them when they had the menu. While eating I was the one who kept on talking & I went on & on & on but really don’t know what happened and suddenly I felt being ignored. So I stopped myself & then I was ignored by our new friend for almost 5-6 minutes like I said something that made my friend sad or I made my friend hurt. It all started so great but ended so bad that our new friend suddenly just changed the plans & left without even saying proper goodbye and with a sad & tense face Me & my friend left behind kept thinking that one of us did say something wrong. There was a guilt & both of us were quiet as if I have done something & he was thinking as if he has done something. It took us almost 2 minutes to resume our talks & share our guilt & both were without a clue. I was really upset with myself as I was the one kept on talking & I thought that I did say something that made my friend left in sadness but after receiving the SMS saying no it was not me but him (the friend with me), I got so upset because if it was not me than why I was the one ignored in the last 5-6 minutes & not him. Well have to wait for tomorrow till I can share what happened next.

Tuesday, July 14, 2009

DAY 68

So where did I leave it yesterday? Oh yes left it in the train. No not my luggage but the Lahore trip information. So after all that adventure we were in Lahore around 5:30 in the morning. The weather at that time was so cool & romantic. Me & my friend, we both were still not sleepy as if we were sleeping in the train which we really did not.

Now was the time to look for a decent hotel. So we just started walking out of the station towards unknown location & found a few people walking towards us & asking if we need a room. Yes we do but our plan was to rent near to a certain location where we could easily move around. So when we said no to them, they said come on, we can even arrange entertainment for you guys as well. Ok now that was totally adult talk & we were not in a mood or not even part of the plan so we skipped that part & kept on walking till we reached at an intersection. There we asked the rickshaw driver to take us to a decent hotel with no entertainment please. So he did just by moving here & there or you can say making fool of us & bringing us to Data Darbar which is not that far from the station but he charged us 100/Rs. From there we decided not to take rickshaw or taxi until the local transport is not available. We did rent a room there after all. My friend was a bit sad that no entertainment. Ok that’s a joke. We were just having fun by teasing each other. Even after renting the room we were not sleepy at all. So we had breakfast, bath & ready to move around. The rest will be in the next blog.

Have you ever been ignored by a same person twice in the same week who actually calls you the coolest friend? I’m sure you are not but yes I am the lucky one so the trophy goes to me. Why being ignored? Can’t really say that but yes my fault as I really forgot that even being the coolest friend, my number was somewhere in the last of the table of 10 & once mentioned that I am just another addition to the friend’s list. So I have decided not to disturb my friend anymore as that so called friend of mine has 9 other coolest friends & lots of other additions to the list. So if one is out of the list, life does not stop. Let’s hope it really does not because I still have a lot to do & to share the whole Lahore trip.

Monday, July 13, 2009

DAY 67

So at last I came back from Lahore. Been a busy schedule. Did not even sleep properly. Slept after almost 30 hours and still feeling sleepy. So how was the trip? If I’ll be honest, it was ok. Not too good nor too bad. Been through a lot actually. Well! One thing is nice about Lahore, even after midnight you can find people out of their houses. Why? Because there is toooooo much load-shedding so why stay in, go out.

The minute I started my journey, the entertainment started. I was on the train for not more than 5 minutes & a fight started in the cabin where me & my friend were seated. We both played a role to stop it & it worked but only after 30 minutes a new fight started but this time in the next cabin. This time we did not bother to play any role coz it was between a family, ticket checker & the police. The family had guts especially the lady there. No ticket but travelling and kept on arguing & even punched a guy who actually tried to stop the fight. See why we did not bother. So it’s not bad to travel via a train after all. Only two fights made it interesting. Did it? Nah! There was a third fight as well & this time again in our cabin with the guy who brought the tea. Oh the tea guy is the same guy that got punched on his eye while trying to stop the previous fight. So I just asked him to leave before the guy sitting next to me punch on his other eye. Yes! That was fun & we did not sleep throughout the journey. The person sitting next to my friend kept on talking & preaching him regarding Islam as if he was unaware while I acted as if I am sleeping. The remaining of my journey would be in my next blog coz I have a lot to tell.

Just before I end, a respected person from my family sent me an email asking me to stop criticizing the government officials. Why? They do anything & we keep quit? Why asking me to stop? Why not ask them to stop doing foolish things so no one would criticize? It’s not a cyber crime to criticize any public selected official. It is my right & if not then I would call it "so called democratic country". I don’t mind being criticized on my blog, on my writing so do let me know what I wrote wrong as here I write my own feelings. I am not a journalist reporting. I am just one common man living in the country & expressing one common man’s thoughts & feelings which is absolutely no crime in any democratic law.

DAY 62

Last night when I reached home, I got a bad news that the cat that came home day before yesterday went away after just passing 1 single day with us. It was sad as I was planning to add him up in the family but I was the only one who wanted to do this. Rest of my family was against it. Maybe they show him the door. Well! Whatever happened was sad.

Today I won the bet fairly. My friend did not even try once to make me loose. I wonder why. He not even once tried to beat me or to be in time. He could have made this draw if he was not able to win but no sir not at all. He got late three times & had twice a draw and still two more days to go but I know he will not even try now. Even though he cannot win it but he can draw rest of the two days but I know he would not. So even the bet was not able to make him punctual. Have to try something else or I think now I should give up.

Plan is already agreed & we both are ready to go to Lahore coming Saturday & hopefully would have a great time there as we got our salaries today. Would miss the blog as won’t be able to write while travelling but sure that would have lot to write when I will be back. We will be meeting another friend there in Lahore who is really a great person that I came to know for the past 1 month & hope to have fun with her too. I would describe her as a happy, smiling tomboy or she got the name TOOTS from a Facebook application. Don’t really know what does that means but sounds a bit scary & funny at the same time. I wonder how would anyone be looking while scared and still laughing at the same time. Weird I guess.

DAY 61

Took a leave from writing my blog as I was not feeling well but now I am back.

So my day started good with an interesting SMS but later it turned into anger with another SMS from another friend.

It has been almost 3 months now since me & my friend has been planning to visit Lahore but this great friend of mine keeps on changing the plan every last hour. So again got the message & I got fired up & my reply was that if not this week then I will not be going with him anywhere anymore. So let’s see what happens.

The bet is still in progress & still I am leading with 3-0 & 3 more days to go. My friend still have a chance but I will not let him win so easily as I am not a Pakistani Cricket team. They just lost a test match which they actually were winning. Cannot believe it. How come? Only required a few runs & they all went back. My colleague was saying that if only one of them had played well, we would have won. Why only one??? Others are not paid to play??? Others are there for what??? To pray that one of us might click??? Well! Nothing could be done but they still have a chance to prove themselves.

Another cat has been added to the family. Now we have 3 cats. A baby cat was crying out in the street last night & I brought him in & served him milk & now he is not planning to leave. I left him outside on the streets in the morning but he jumped up the stairs & got himself back inside the house again. So I have planned to add him in the family. Let’s see how long has he planned to stay. Still have not named him but will be named soon.

DAY 57

This bet thing is turning my friend into a bit punctual person. A bit? Yes only a bit because today he was on time but no he did not win the bet as I was on time too. So I was a draw but I am still leading with 2:0 which is really nice & relaxing but I would not be relaxing like the rabbit & let the turtle win, NO WAY…

So at last the most hated government has increased the prices of the petrol even though the prices all over the world are still low but who cares. Do you? Do anyone else in the public? Nah… Everyone is calm. A few will make noise & then after 2-3 days will shut-up & then the government will do something new 7 few will again raise against it & so on & on…

Our very close neighbor “INDIA” has announced homosexuality as legal. What a news. I am thinking that tomorrow some from Pakistan might standup to get the same right. I am still unable to understand the pleasure in this thing. Why not going behind opposite sex? Well! The real Judgment Day is not far now.

DAY 56

As per my last blog, the bet is still on & I am now leading with 2-0. What a great achievement from me as I don’t even have to work hard for it. My friend is doing it for me by working hard & not even trying to struggle so the result is in my favor for the past 2 days & hopefully I will win.

Yesterday I was going through the pics of my friends on Facebook. There I saw so many faces that I have not met for more that 5-6 years. It was exciting to see them grownup. Me & one of my used to be best friend used to call them BACHA LOOG. Sometimes I hate myself. Since I have moved to Pakistan, I have observed changes in me. The change I hate in me is being a bit selfish. Why am I selfish? The reason is that I lost my very good friends in the path of life just by ignoring them on certain stages while acting as a selfish person. I really do try not to be but in some cases I do become selfish. It is not part of my nature but it’s a famous quote, “If you can’t beat them, join them”. I found most of the peoples selfish in this country. Don’t know the reason for it but yes have found a lot. To be very honest, there are still good & very good peoples in this country too. I think in every part of the world, you will find good & bad peoples but unfortunately we Pakistanis are always considered bad & perhaps terrorists.

Regarding terrorism, here goes another suicide attack & this time in Rawalpindi. Still not sure how many died but still unable to find any reason for killing them and once again the government has failed to stop it. They always have reports but they always fail. Reason, simple. They do not have time as they are hidden terrorists themselves. They are killing people without blasts. They just increase prices for every necessity of life and eventually public dies. So this is another way to reduce population. Day by day my hate for them is increasing & I wish just for once I could build myself to fight against them. Not by killing them but just by removing them from the positions that they are currently occupying & honestly do not even deserve to be part of any nation.

DAY 55

I previously did mention in my blog that there is one close friend that mostly gets late at the meeting point where I pick him up on the way to the office. For the past two days I was getting late & yesterday he told me that he will be accomplishing a hatric but I answered him that he might not. So today he was late again & while I was teasing him he said, "let’s make a bet that who ever comes late maximum times in this month will pay for burgers". Guess what! He messaged one of another good friend & she positioned herself as a judge and the bet has now changed. Instead of burger there is going to be "GARBAR". Well! Can’t mention it here but yes the bet is on. We have 10 days to compete & I have already won the first day which is today. According to our cute pretty judge, my friend has already lost 20 points.

Oh yes! He is going to pay as he made our cute friend sad & tensed for the past two days. From the day I know her, I always found her smiling, laughing & in a cool mood but she was really not herself for the past two days. In other words my friend ruined her birthday which was really sad. On one end he wished her on her birthday & the next minute he fought with her. What a birthday gift. Now it is payback time. So my buddy, be ready as I love challenges. I will do anything to win not because of the reward but because you made her sad on her birthday.
