DAY 236

Since Thursday till now been having some great days of life. Thursday was a really a great day you can ask for. I took a day off from the office & went out with a friend. First to the bank then had lunch. Also invited another friend for lunch but he thought according to him it was not a good idea so he came, walked a few steps with us & then left. I tried to convince him to stay & at least have lunch but he refused so I did not force him & he took a taxi to the office. Actually it should have been him instead of me but he wanted me to go so thank you for the chance of a life time. After lunch, we went for shopping & this friend of mine acts like a child when she shops. It is always interesting to watch her face expressions while she shops. It’s like a kid having ice-cream for the first time. She actually wanted to shop the whole store but I said noooo, lets goooo. Again we were actually choosing the same color combinations. She was shopping for her mother too & for the first time her mother actually liked what she shopped for her. After shopping we decided to visit the lake view point. It was really nice & quiet out there and not to forget toooooo cold. We walked there for sometime & had a cup of coffee. Well, actually two cups of coffees at different times. It was really so peaceful. First time in life we had those long conversations & things we never talked about before while standing near the railing & while sitting on the bench. The cold breeze actually wanted us to leave but we seat there & had some great chats. Then I took her back to the hostel & from there I took a taxi back home.

Next morning it was again me & her 8:30a.m., cold & we travelling towards the breakfast (HALWA PURI). Again a great time & somehow we got lost in HALWA PURI & got late. She had to catch a bus at 11 for Lahore but unfortunately we missed it. She was about to cry & was in a great tense so I had to do something to calm her down. I requested her to stay calm & don’t cry but she was in great tense. While in the taxi I messaged my other friend to talk to her over the phone & while he was doing that we all planned that we take the next bus to Lahore. We had to take a 2nd class buss or main be a third class. Now I never wanted her to go alone in that buss coz was not feeling safe & she was really tensed. Even the stop the buss would make in Lahore was far from her place so I decided to go with her. I called up my other friend as I was short of cash & thanks to him that he came. I wanted him to go but he made an excuse. So me & her on the buss towards Lahore. Throughout the journey I almost kept talking. Damn! I do speak a lot. I even discovered what are the good things in me & the bad ones. Nowadays trying to fix the bad ones… We had a great time & had a very beautiful memory in that buss that I will never forget. We reached Lahore & then she got dropped at her place & I took the rickshaw back to the terminal where I had to catch a buss back to my city. She insisted that I should go in a better buss & she was so nice that she immediately called them for booking. Then it was me all alone. It got seat number 40 but then it was not only me having that seat. There was another guy with the same seat number. So I came first & I got seated. Later when I saw his ticket, I came to know that he is 30 mins late. He should have been in the buss that left 30 mins before. Well half the buss was empty but I don’t know what happened with him. So my journey started back to home & it took me almost 4 hours 30 mins to reach the city & 30 mins to reach home. When I reached home, my back pain was like hell & I just got in the bed & within no time I was asleep. Before sleeping I was really happy coz I had such a wonderful memory during my journey that I will never forget. A wonderful experience to remember. Thank you my friend for giving me lovely memories…

Last two days I had fasted & prayed for something & I’m hoping the prays to come true but I can only hope because sometimes you want something & you don’t have a way to get it & I am that unlucky person with beautiful memories. Last two days I even had some great chats with my friends & some really nice words to share. The chats were one of a kind. I never had these chats with my friend.

Today after 4 days of long weekend I’m back in the office. Before coming to the office I had to attend a funeral of my boss’s mother as she passed away yesterday. May GOD bless her & may she rest in peace. I had to travel a long way to reach the location. On the way I almost skipped 2 accidents. Both of them were very close ones. So I was thinking that weather I’m going to someone else’s funeral or am I going to mine. Reaching there I saw lots & lots of famous people. I meet my boss & he is such a nice person that he was actually walking towards everyone & hugging them. While sitting there I saw the famous Imran Khan “The Cricketer”. He was simple & I was amused that there was no such thing as security. After sometime Ijaz-ul-Haq (Son of late Gen. Zia-ul-Haq) came in. After the prayer, I actually shook hands with Imran Khan & it was nice of him to smile back. After that I came back to office but on the way I had lunch with my buddy.

In the end I would say that I am one unlucky man with so great memories…
