lovers at first sight, in love forever…

got an sms from TFL yesterday afternoon:

random wtfs

mark twain said he could live for two months on a good compliment.
i cant live on a compliment, i want my chai and stuff, but yes, compliments definitely cheer you up and make for great memories.
a few weeks ago, an H3 decided to chase me down al wasl road. i took the longer route via beach [...]

when no news is good news.

the last time there was a blast in lahore, i found out when i stepped into my office - with my boss asking if everything was ok back home. looking at my completely blank expression, he’d figured i hadnt heard the news, and asked me to call my folks and report back.

Little Wonders

Tucked away in a little corner of Dubai Mall is a nondescript outlet of seemingly useless over-hyped movie paraphernalia – trinkets of little value – like magic wands of the harry potter lot – or bellatrix’s mask – or Indy’s whip…
Should you spare a moment and look closely, you’ll find things which stab at your [...]

Inverted Bucket-List - things to do OMDB:

“I have no idea,” I [...]

On love, lust, and one-night stands

i was gonna tell you the perfect hair dryer settings are temperatures of 30 degrees and wind speeds of 100km/h, with Akcent’s ‘that’s my name‘ playing in the background…
and that despite all my reservations and adamant denial that anything made by nissan could ever be on my chart of “must-haves” (HEY! snoopy is not NISSAN), [...]

“The credibility of our institution does not ensure virgins but well educated ladies”*

Censor courtship!
Drive against road rage!
Troll lock-down!
Dressing down short, short skirts!
Throwing out the boisterous with the bath water!
why did that guy have his hand down the hijabified girl’s shirt in FULL VIEW of EVERYONE at the restaurant? that’s a strange place to lose your keys. or marbles.
WTF?!
but more seriously. is it our dissatisfaction with out own [...]

upstaged backstage

So while I was in Lahore for eid – did I mention I was in Lahore for eid? – artemis was kind enough to point out “your blog has started to suck. You don’t do proper updates anymore.”
Guilty, but this verdict is a bit harsh, don’t ye think?
In a sense she was right and I [...]
