on tailoring truths

i keep this blog now as a record of how strange my life is, lest i am pronounced senile in my old age for the insane stories i tell.
a couture designer who happens to be a friend of the family (ive known her for over fifteen years now) messaged me on msn the other night.

I know this place, I’ve been lost here before

Last year around this time I was extremely depressed. For no reason other than being completely disillusioned with the world. And because I am a drama queen.
Last year around this time, I almost quit blogging. Well. I was done. It was what it was. Until a month later, when I bought a car I didn’t [...]

Of sheeshas, shawarmas and other spiritual adventures

I had two thoughts when I woke up today.
Well, three.
(I’m really simple like that)
Thought no. 1: I don’t want to clean the apartment
Thought no. 2: I have to go to sheikh zayed mosque (in abu dhabi) to pray
Thought no. 3: I want a shawarma for breakfast
Thoughts one and two I could deal with, but there [...]

i used to be proud, but now i’m perfect

The hardest thing for me to accept would be criticism. Especially if i dont agree with it.
I like to think I like constructive criticism, but I don’t think I’ve ever received any.
There’s also exists a very fine line between effective analysis and censure, a line that the majority of people cannot walk. Most criticism I’ve [...]

dance along the light of day…

you are missing out on much if you dont.
last night at nine o’ clock i was in my pjs ready to crash. at ten i was in JBR having sheesha with T2. got kicked out by the management at half past midnight because even the cleaner had finished sweeping.
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried [...]

ode to my famoree

i dont feel like an update, but i owe a thanks to all the people who put a smile on my face on a daily basis, and make living worth my while.
Owl sauntered off onto another one of her euro trips, but left me a yellow post it reminding me to:
a) eat.
b) drink milk.
c) not [...]

On the vagaries of the social experiment

Owl: dont go around  corrupting T2.
10 years on, it’s still the same comment. i have the honour of having attended ALL of the notorious institutions in pakistan. my brief academic history is here (for anyone interested).
i remember this episode from when i was 15? maybe… my brother’s friend had invited our family over to his [...]

Mad Cow Disease

a decent pair of black shoes has been the bane of my life. almost three years down the road, it’s still the same issues pinching me.
today i thought to myself, summers are here, and my feet (which ive grown to quite like) will get bbqed in the sun (seeing as how i never wear sunblock). [...]

‘live long and prosper’

things have been strange lately. unfamiliar. ive been dreaming for the last 5 days in a row. which is unusual, because i have a ‘lights-out’ dream-free 7 hours of blissful unconsciousness. and the dreams have not been pleasant. they’ve been all of the thoughts i rock at suppressing. leaving me miserable first thing in the [...]

Aliens and the Hulk do not have a copyright on ‘Green’

and if they do, they must have desi roots.
thursday night the oddest gathering of us ladies went to watch the 20-20 between desiland and australia. there was owl, who knew the lyrics to ‘dil dil pakistan’…

dil, dil, pakistan,
jaan, jaan, pakistan,
zinda dilon ki pehchan,
pepsi, pepsi, pakistan!!!
there was TFL ,who is laughing at me in ALL the [...]

bits and bobs and ‘more beer’

nothing cheers you up in the morning like racing with an R8 driven by a kaiyute emirati. *ding*
well, that, and umm… being chased by a mustache in an X6. (the X6 actually looks like an alienship, but given its price tag, i’ll show a bit more respect). me and sugar were cruising to work when [...]

“surrender!”

“NEVAAAAAAAR!” shouted the soldier in the face of death, prepared to meet his doom. if his life was what his country needed, he would give it a million times over…
*sigh*
almost.
it was more like: “NO! YOU surrender! i saw you coming!”
“no you didnt! i have my gun pointed at your face and you were three [...]
