SiD’s Sphere!!

we had our presentation yeterday, after almost missing it. We were late. But thankfully, the judges decided to take a tea break. We did well. I messed up with one of the most fundamental graphs. The speakers weren’t workin initially and 2 of the 3 videos i had worked on were unable to make an attepmt. Thankfully, by the time we had to play the most important one- the interviews, the speakers had been fixed. The judges were impressed by not only an all girls group but by the motivation. Little do they know how hard it is to work in an all girl’s group. specially, if one of them is someone u can never agree with. one groupmate, nonetheless, came to call me ‘the yes man’. just coz it was always to easy to convince me. all this to cheer someone up. its been some experience.

we made it to the next round. which means more sleepless nights as we brush up the original thing.

i’m not used to working very hard. I’ve always found shortcut for doin things. but this whole thing taught me, that if i get myself down to doin something i can do a pretty good job. n staying up nights can be pretty rewarding.

u know life’s changed when there are 4 firsts in such close proximity; breaking down in front of ppl for the first time, gettin hugged for the first time, staying up lte to work for the first time, shouting at someone other than my brother for the first time. add another one to it. not rememberin a very important day.

last night, came back home with dad. forgot my phone at his office. its funny how much i depend on that one device. i am materialistic. i had even promised to meet samar today. thanx to not havin my phone, i couldnt get in touch with her either. and obviously, i hadnt baked her brownines either coz of the tiring day yesterday.

everyday is becomin a new learning experience…

here’s one more thing i learnt yesterday.

if i’m stationary and a luminous object is movin, the light in a picture will mark the path of the object.

and if i’m the one moving, the lights will just dance around in circles.

I decided to go back with a camera..How many houses in Karachi can boast of this view from their balconies?

Its 1:30 in the night. I should have been sleeping ages ago. But there’s work to be completed for the final presentation tom. The one presentation that put everything else on hold. The reason I put myself through this voluntary nightmare of a project was worth it.

I stepped out in the balcony a while ago. Except the whirrin of my pc somewhere in the background, there was not a sound to be heard. And then the calmness of the night would be pierced by a deafening shrill of the ‘chowkidaars’ whistle. I wonder why I dont hear it everyday.

My back has started to hurt. bad.

day before yesterday I set a new record of stayin up till 4 to work. lets see if i top that today.

i feel like attachin a pic that bhaii just took from his n 73. show off. so what if i have a stupid vga. at least i dont look so ugly in my vga. i want the chicken pox marks to go away already.

Mera Qaatil Mera Maseeha ab Bhi mujh per merta hai

I would like to visit you for a while
Get away and out of this city
Maybe I shouldn’t have called but
Someone had to be the first to break
We can go sit on your back porch
Relax
Talk about anything
It don’t matter
I’ll be courageous if you can pretend
That you’ve forgiven me

‘Cause I don’t know you anymore
I don’t recognise this place
The picture frames have changed
And so has your name
We don’t talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn’t give to see your face again

Springtime in the city
Always such a relief from winter freeze
The snow was more lonely than cold if you know what I mean
Everyone’s got an agenda
Don’t stop keep that chin up you’ll be alright
Can you believe what a year it’s been
Are you still the same?
Has your opinion changed?

‘Cause I don’t know you anymore
I don’t recognise this place
The picture frames have changed
And so has your name
We don’t talk much anymore
We keep running from these sentences
But what I wouldn’t give to see your face again

So maybe I shouldn’t have called
Was it too soon to tell?
Oh what the hell
It doesn’t really matter
How do you redefine something that never really had a name?
Has your opinion changed?

‘Cause I don’t know you anymore
I don’t recognise this place
The picture frames have changed
And so has your name
We don’t talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn’t give to see your face again

I see your face
I see your face

Happy 26 th March!! Is wanting to see you wishing for too much?

too much to say, too much to talk abt, write abt, think abt. too little time.

i write on my blog to keep a record of my life. as geeky as that may sound, that is how it is. i’m afraid i miss out on too much important info while puttin it down here and in a lot of cases, exaggerate things too.

but then again i’m human. n i’m afraid of bein judged.

n i have insecurities too. i realised today how insecurities define a person, how they act, what they think. Insecurities that are rooted deep within our hearts and cant be pulled out no matter how hard we try. Insecurities that cause needless pain and disappointments. Insecurities

Its funny how each one of us is different, yet so similar. Its a blessing too. It helps me empathise. To know what someone else is thinkin.

And with so much happenin all around me already, how can i be expected to hang my heart out on my sleeve.

for a blogger friend, u know who u r: hang in there. noone ever said life was fair.

ps: Joie de vivre!!

Today I learned that its possible to laugh and cry at the same time.

That it is possible to be in depths of despair and height of elation simultaneously.

A lot of things changed.

I can no longer brag about never crying in front of someone. I can no longer say that I’ve never been hugged.

In a way, I also proved my theory that emotions, like energy are not created and are only transferred from one person to the another. My happiness has meant a lot of hurt and pain for someone else.

Joie de vivre!!
