Disturbs ME ... Annoys ME and Repeats ....
The type of dressing you choose in the morning describes your present mood and how you will spend your day. Some people like casual, some people like formal and some like ......... hybrid!
I just love the way she claps her hair :P
It's real tough when man sitting in the next cubical keeps the messy personality. Urrg.
How to annoy your colleagues:
Category 1
Steps to execute:
1. Look at him/
2. Just go straigh to him.
3. Put your finger in your mouth.
4. Rub it on his monitor.
5. Then look at him and give him a blood boiling smile.
Category 2
Steps to execute:
1. Go to him hurriedly
2. Grab his mouse and say 'LET ME CHECK IT FIRST'
3. If he never let's you to touch his mouse, straight a way turn off his monitor and 'SAY CHEEEEZZ' :P
These two and few more i am suffering from these days. I want to hear from you what type of categories you are suffering from.
BUT i would just like to say 'I love the way she claps her hair' :O

Nothing is forever ....
This article is taken from The Ravi – annual magazine of GC Lahore. I am sure it will be a good read …
Theme: Life is enchantress,
who seduces us with her beauty.
But he who knows her wiles,
will free her enchantments.
I push the night, each night away to get the dark reality of me – Night is dark; Night is Night! It comes close to me and envelops me with its cold pangs to narrate me a story, a version of my own interior. I push the night away – I try to push the reality away so that I can live in the fantasies of my sleep… But NO! I close my eyes and it is even there. The DARK… WHY??? I swim through the night to find the brightening day telling me that a few more hours and the night would approach me again. The day certainly ends as the night goes to sleep. When I walk through the flowers early in the morning, the dying flowers tell me that once they were in bloom. The rain stuffed clouds – when shower on me, compel me to think that they were not forever and even it can’t rain all the time….
I – walking through the days and the nights, the rains and forests of my life --- I waked through you and I still walk with you. Then the evening came and I blinked to admire it and it was gone before I could….. I could see the merging and the moulding reds and the yellows and greens of the evening but it all just in a while turned into a deeper shade of grey… The night huskily came again…. This time it used the claws of reality and I couldn’t break through. … Nothing is forever. Every speck of nature on earth told me that it was as if pain was oozing out of my body ---- soul. The time of my deconstruction had come. The picture I had painted all my life had gone all abstract….. I realized that I had once loved the day…. I had bathed through the rain and dried myself in the sun. I had played in the fresh petals and dried the dying ones. I had smiled through the evenings and dawned through the nights…. I slowly remember --- I had once loved you… I had loved you and I had loved everything and now when I love you I am indifferent to everything – WHY?? The fact poured into my mind --- NOTHING IS FOREVER. The night had told me that --- the day --- the rain --- the spring --- the years ----- loving you had told me that ………
But I had gotten myself into this thick tangle of deceit and could never untangle myself until the agents of nature got to my help. The night helped me the most. Because it narrated a version of my own interior and so the story of my life had a beginning at the end – The beginning at the end -- It made me realize that everything seduces and then everything goes away and everything has an end and that ………………… NOTHING IS FOREVER.

Today, just five minutes before off time, my manager told me that Plant Manager wants me to stay at plant; i can get the next day off but can’t get any relaxation regarding 26 working days. Then what’s the use of this next days’ rest? I thought to myself.
Manager: Agar aik din ki relaxation day dain to theek hay werna mat rukna.
Me: :-׀ ( Lagta hai in ki aapas main lagti wagti hai)
Khair, Pm ko main nay sab araam say bol diya. My point was that I can’t stay on plant for continuous 32 hours. As I am suffering from kidney pain, it will become difficult for me. (Bemari to kab ki khatam ho chukki … it was just an excuse.)
Regarding relaxation PM Said: I can't promise on this but i'll try, it's not clear in company's policy. ( a diplomatic answer)
Khair, ghar to main aa gaya hoon but perhaps I shouldn’t. My manager has misguided me.
Should I stay at plant and get late by one more day? I want to know your views on this issue.

"میں سیاح ھوں ۔۔۔ میں نھیں چاھتا کہ ایک جگہ رھنے سے میرے پاؤں زمین میں دھنس جائیں اور میں ھمیشہ کے لیے ساکت ھو کر رہ جاؤں۔"
" ایک جگہ رھنے سے ہي، ساکت ھونے سے ہی شاخیں پھوٹتی ہیں- پھر ان میں پھول لگتے ھیں-"

During this whole week I had been preparing for the interview. The whole emphasis was on downloading data from internet and memorizing important points while taking notes from the new and already present data in the hard disk. And it was after a long time that my computers’ hard drive had to read the data sectors of its' D partition!
Khair pehlay din I logged on at 6:00 pm and by 10:00 pm what I had downloaded was a video song by Call, checked emails, visited many pages / read scraps on orkut, signed up on Zebo on a friends’ request and read blogs. Time daykha to it was 10:00 pm. Switched off the computer and went to bed. Pehlay do teen din yahi hota raha. Is doran kuch downloading ore kuch perha’ey bhi howi.
Anyway, I tried to prepare as much as I could and on Friday reached at the given address and took the test. After one hour the names of candidates were announced who had qualified for the interview. And my name was also in that list! Two out of three females also qualified for the interview. Waisay from deep inside i wanted these two to be selected as well. Heeh Heeh. I don't know what happened with them afterwards.
Interviews were in progress when they announced a lunch and prayer break of one hour. I decided to have lunch from a nearby market. Abhi thora he agay gaya hoon ga kah two people, both wearing helmets, appeared on a bike from somewhere, aimed a pistol at me and demanded for my cell phone and money. Mobile ore paisay nikalo. Jaldi. That was just like a scene from an action movie, in which a couple of badmaash of a dingy street try to harass the hero but he fights bravely with empty hands and defeats them. And the fight is followed by a romantic song filmed on the hero and heroine. Heeh Heeh. But this was a drama going on in real life. Firstly I thought to resist but I wasn’t sure whether I will be able to do that with empty hands. I looked around for any help; no one else was on the road. They snatched the phone, emptied my pockets and disappeared from the scene. What a pity. Khana to khair kia khana tha … offered prayer and came back.
Khuda Khuda kar kay interrview ki bari aey. I asked for the permission to enter the room, I casted a glance at all the six people present in the room, greeted them in a soft tone and took the seat. Interview started with a couple of formal questions; what is your complete name? Show your original certificates etc. etc. They were not interested in my present job experience rather asked questions about digital signal processing and my final year project. Interview lasted for about 10 to 15 minutes. I came out of that room and an attendant there inquired me, “Have they asked you to stay for a while?” I said ‘Nops’
At that time my face had a desperate look. Yah chance bhi gaya. I was about to leave when he re-appeared from that room and stopped me, ‘Mobark ho ji app ko … have a seat’. I was overjoyed and thanked to Allah Almighty, mayra is main koi kamal nahi tha.
He gave me a form and advised to fill it fully and return as soon as possible. I stepped out of that building happily and reached at Adnan’s flat which was at a walking distance of 20 minutes from there. khana wahan khaya got some money from him and reached home happily. Now I shall post that form tomorrow. Let’s see, when they call me.
And now I don’t have a cell phone. What I have learnt from this incident is:
- You must keep a back up of all your contact numbers and addresses.
- Cell phone must not be an expansive one. KhamKhoa afsos hota hai.
- One must get some self defense classes but there isn’t any need to show heroism in these situations. Life is precious. Isn’t it? What do you say?

Khair .. khawab and Naqi (yar tum to mujay jaantay ho :) although I am not into flying, but I find a certain sort of fascination in it.
This is, at least, what I feel about the crowded airport lounges, round the clock busy terminals, people with fresh and tired faces, naughty children running ahead of their parents (as yours truly was in his childhood :) luggage-packed trolleys, canteens, wide and long runways glittering with thousands of multi-color navigation lights– with each color having a specific message for the pilot, ‘control tower’ covered with rigid and transparent glass from all sides, its’ cold and numb atmosphere, rapidly changing LCD digits on large screens, continuously engaged operators with the flights in operation, efficient ground crew, mighty Boeings and Air Buses, attractive logos of airlines, an experienced gentleman flight captain with his very polite crew, splendid interiors, stylish flight kitchens, specific aroma of the food which wafts in the cabin as soon as the steward starts serving the food trays by pushing his trolley slowly from one seat to another, usual sound of engines and continuous mild vibrations, a smooth flight and a perfect landing!
Is that enough? :)
Declaration: This was the last post on this subject. Thx for bearing.
