Self-Portrait in Front of You- Yumoo Komal Ashfaq

In her eye you will
Find no reply,
No voice to say hi.

In her hair you will find
Light air
Through the strands.

Her hands
have scars

Her mind filled with stars
And planets. And thoughts
Sentences and dots
To forgotten words.

Butterflies and birds
On her dress
“I confess-“

She begins
And stops.
Her gaze drops.
She does not
Know what you thought.

Slight fear
Of being near.
Of touch
Saying too much.
Of the gaze
Holding praise
And scorn
Both.

People are nicer than they think

I was in the mood for some trolling yesterday, so I typed out this text message:

"PLEASE HELP ME I CANT TURN CAPSLOCK OFF ON MY FONE AND ALL MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS HATE ME NOW BECAUSE THEY THINK IM SHOUTING AT THEM PLZZ HELP"

and sent it to 20 people. Only 3 got that I was kidding, and the rest actually tried to help me. Please keep in mind that most of these people consider themselves very...kamina. But in reality, they are extremely helpful people. Yeah guys, take your badassness and shove it down the toilet. You're all rainbows and butterflies. Ha. 

Oh and ILY guise. Esp Loner, who went on Google and searched for the solution.


Humanity does have hope ^_^

- Result.

It's okay, I mean it isn't horrible. But lower than what I was expecting. Shoutout to the R-Pakistan: MS for getting a brilliant percentage.

Also, my regular stars, Malice, Edwartiya, Jia and Paddy. Proud of you guys ^^

- Dear Universe,

Sometimes I wonder why you choose to be so tough on her. I know she's a strong person, but that doesn't justify everyone looking towards her for support. She's just a frail little soul. Who blames herself too much for stuff that doesn't involve her.

So, dear universe, I know you like testing her and stuff but please, be nice to her. She's sweet and she cares about you, return the favour?

KTHXBAI.

I think this post has been somewhat inspired by Improbable Letters by NSKY.

- Give me fifteen years

This is going to be more of a 'mein aur mere awesome log' blog post, so to the people I don't really know, I apologize. You may leave. If you want.

The other day (only yesterday actually), I was thinking about how our lives would change over the years. And I started wondering what we would be like. Where would we be? Will we still be as k3wL? And I was like *whoa* gotta blog about this. It's a topic worth exploring. So, let's get on with it. Remember this is just all my point of view. It could be very very different from the truth. I'm no fortune tella. Like gagabiryani spawnz.

MDD:

Fifteen years from now, I see Daw settled in Europe with her family. Two boys and a girl on the way maybe. Two cats. A really nice doctor she'd be. With her own little clinic. Her kids would be very intelligent, and artistic at the same time. They would have huge eyes, like hers. Her house would be somewhere remote, where she'd have a nice little plot behind it. She'd grow vegetables and flowers there, and if it's not getting too cliched, throw in a tiny stream too. All in all, it would be a perfect sanctuary.

Malice:

Malice, in fifteen years, will be an exceptional surgeon, with her charity hospital running smoothly and her MAKBU (M- Aga Khan B- University) one of the most sought after by pre med students. Ofcourse she'd only let in O level then Inter students. She'd be engaged to a hot shot doctor, and he would be a workaholic like her. He would help her build her dreams and also charm her by his chivalrous nature.

MA:

I think she'd be married, with five kids and one adopted from Cambodia or something. I'm not sure if she'd be a doctor (sorry Mehsen) but I kinda see her being an awesome business person. Doing something cool like being an event organizer or maybe an artist with her work displayed all over. The point being, she would be moderately and respectably famous in fifteen years.

Hasper/Paddy/HQadir:

Kickass surgeon. Married. Two kids. Position holder kids, btw jsyk. Kids who won't get to eat chaat ever, since their mom is sucha nice hygiene loving daacterni. Her husband you ask? Filthy rich and smoking hot. (It's because I like you Paddy)

Aloo:

Aloo would be some high ranking political person. She'd own a chain of classy restaurants too.Appearance? High heeled shoes and huge sunglasses sitting on top of her now over sized hair. She'd still be the prettiest one around, and would be dating this international athlete. (lolwut? yeah)

MunMun:

Settled in the US. Two kids. Doctor. Working at HUGE hospital. Shopaholic.

SS:

Married. Dentist. Five kids, one daughter. Settled somewhere abroad. Would be regularly seen in catwoman suit for some strange obnoxious mysterious reason.

LoneR:

She'd be a housewife. Like, complete housewife. Cookie baking, biryani making housewife. She'd have a beautifully decorated home, complete with pictures taken by herself. Her kids would have the neatest uniforms and the coolest stationary. She'd attend kitty parties and have a cooking/photography/relationship advice column in a magazine, and would be sufficiently rich. Married to BKhan of course. He'd sing to her all day as she would cook kheer for him in ze kitchen.

I'm really really sorry for missing out SO many people on my very close friends list. This is very random, and I just wrote whatever came to my mind. I might post more, but I'm very sporadic at posting themed stuff and probably won't. Anyhoo.

Comment and tell me how you see me in fifteen years.

Cheers! xx

-Cement Mixers

Hello all, especially my followers! You guys are 31 now which is awesome. I know I can't put that achievement on my resume but it still means a lot to me. ^^

Today was Nestle's seminar on Osteoporosis at college. It was pretty informative despite the fact that more than half of the attendees were premed students and we already knew all that shit. Anyhow, it was still pretty useful. Why am I mentioning this here? BECAUSE WE GOT FREE CREAM. Nestle Cream. Two packs. TWO. Free.

And SL won a couple of Nesvita glasses for answering a quiz question which was pretty kickass, since she wanted them so bad. Congrats baby. Even though you think my sentences are too long.

Another eventful (maybe?) thing. I burnt my gown. A huge hole in my sleeve. I'll have to get a new one now. =__=

CEMENT MIXERS.

I realized today how awesome they are. They are huge things. Which mix cement for you. Khud sey hi. AND you can ride in them at the same time.

It doesn't end here. I would please like you to give me one minute of your time. Now think. A transparent cement mixer. A bottle of instant coffee. Lots of milk. Sugar. Cream. Mix.

If your mind is blown, you officially have an awesome imagination. If not, you belong to the species from which SL and MS take their genes. Meh.

Also, a shout out to SJ, the coolest and most epic chem lab partner. With a guy who has rum AND hash in his name.

AJ+MA you were missed.

I should stop now.

- So much green.

New blaaag on the block.

Here's my friend MA. (Jeremiah) She has a blog, and it's pretty kick-ass. The thing is she doesn't know it. Yet. Go over and read her stuff, and tell her how awesome she is.

Aaaand. Her latest post is about me: YAY.

- OMG JASON CASTRO REPLIED

Twitter is officially cool. Fur realz.

I don't tweet much but I was online yesterday and I tweeted to Jason Castro welcoming him back to his youtube datenights because he's gone out of touch with his fans ever since his marriage in Jan 2010.

I was going through my mentions right now and I found that he had replied. OMG.

If this would've happened in grade 9th, I might've had a cardiac arrest.

P.s. I really want paloosa, zashy, happy bug and deeba to read this since they'll be able to relate to my happiness. Oh, and ofcourse, my flashaaz.

- Dekho dekho kaun mashoor hogaya bhei

Pervez Musharraf. Nai, vo pehley hi mashoor tha. His visit to Manchester. Here's the video.

Orange sweater. My friend. MAK. Woohoo.

And here's a bonus picture by SS. It's so beautiful, with the sun in it's perfectly fiery shade, and the bird sitting so calmly unaware of the enigmatic entity behind it. What a shot S!

Super girl XD

Happy Birthday to one of the awesomest people I know. *drumroll*

Saira Siddiqi.

She's truly an amazing person. She's sensitive, and a very good listener. Knows how to give the best advice and she's so complex (in a good way) that you could talk to her for hours and not get bored.

Saira is a good friend. A wise friend. A caring little munchkin she is. She's a multi tasker and doesn't admit it. Saira, you underestimate yourself too much.

Our friendship is something like love at first sight. LOL. Literally. The first time we met. We spilled everything to each other. Every little secret. Major, minor. Everything. And it's only gotten stronger since.

I know sometimes I act stupid and hurt you. I'm sorry for that. I'm not as experienced or good with life as you are Sai. I'm learning, bear with me pliss? :)

Lastly, thank you for being such an awesome friend and even awesome-r person. You're beautiful on the outside, but even more beautiful on the inside. I'm glad to be your friend and I hope this lasts forever. LOVEYOULOADS.

xx

OH, and HAPPY BIRTHDAYY BUDHHIII!!

Amna Muzzammil's awesome urdu counting

Me, after checking my infolinks account: AMMMNAAAAAA! Meiney unnees rupay kamaey hain! Just by blogging!! Merey apney unnees rupay!

Amna: Congrats! That's awesome.

Me: Nineteen Rupees!

Amna: Acha unnees nineteen hotey hain? I thought twenty eight hotey hain.

Me: =___=

Yeh awesome kya hota hai?

A question that is perhaps bigger than the reason for our existence. Yeh awesome kya cheez hai bhei? Or in other words, how do you categorize something as awesome. Well, I don't know. If I did, I would be rich. And famous. And not spending my time typing away at this very dispensable keyboard.

Whenever something amazes me, I deem it awesome. And I've noticed it's usually something that's living and breathing rather than plastic. I meet so many interesting kinds of people every other day, they make my tragic little monotonous life a little less mundane. So, I have decided to bring in the *zing* to my blog by featuring these people. I don't know how regular this is going to be, since my plans are very sporadic, but I know quiet a number of people who deserve to know they are- awesome. I'm going to label these posts with 'Mein aur merey awesome log', so if you are interested in finding these posts from the pile of mess I keep posting, you'd just have to find the link in the labels box on the left. No, your other left. Yes, there.

Happy reading, and send me suggestions as to who I should highlight here! :)

P.S. Maybe, it's going to be you next time. He he. ( See, I'm bribing you to follow me ) ^^
