Plan out another happy day.. probably tht one just wasnt meant to be….
Today ‘can’ be a happy day….
untie the knot..
Bad bad gut feeling.. weird knot in the tummy.
The heart feels burdened with a reason mostly unknown, probably known.
I am a person who is good with handling a thin count of threads and patient enough to solve the knotted puzzled chemistry of the threads… Why is it soo tough to untie the knot in the tummy?
*sigh*
Gut feeling.. You bad bad gut feeling.. GO AWAY!
Please? :$
Time flew away? Where?
I turned 23 last week. Dont feel like a 23 year old though, Whats the difference though? Not much, am the same Ghazal that was a year back, a little more thought provoked and an intense planner and an extreme workaholic(killing myself type).Birthday was great this year, Started with Adi Abida Parveens continued performance at school. Worked reallly hard for this event, was made the coordinator for organizing it. Alhamdolillah everything went by great. Made a few great friends during the event including abida parveen, who thought i am a miracle. ‘Ghazal aik maujza hai..’ 
Birthday followed the next day, was great. Had friends over for lunch. Was a great sunday. Some unexpected calls made me happy, hafsa apa thanx. The best gift i could ever get was a handmade card from mahnoorie. Luv u shoo much guddo ranoo. Oh and the blue, black and white balloons i wished for , for so long! Thanx fa. Zainu baked the most scrumptious cake for my birthday! missed baba, ada, mayg api and mahnoor. Ammi made a day trip just for me.
Its been pretty long since i wrote. Its been very hectic, Lifes busy. Havent had time for myself at all. To think, Indulge. Miss the starry nights. Friends have been there for me when i needed them most. Luv them all. Luv buddy m for being there, best friend, hero. Dont know what would have done without them all. Life is good , Alhamdolillah.
Was wishing for sometime off and head to a vacation, right time for prayers to be accepted and it did. Am off to thailand for a week. *Bliss*
No no, Its not a personal trip, its a work trip, study trip as many would call it. Taking the final years to see crafts around Thailand. Its going to be a week long trip and absolutely looking forward to it! Missing the India trip back in 2007, thesis time. A post still due regarding that, a detailed one.
Had the most amazing day with fishy today. Slumdog millionaire and bonding session in one go. Prayers from aunty. Alhamdolillah.
*from ‘i dont know’ to ‘Yes i know’*
2004 was the year when i joined indus as a foundi(freshy as most would call it). As a student, life was very different. I was carefree and responsible too but for the pranks played on classmates and ragging to the juniors! It didnt matter if i wanted to sit at the cafetaria all day long and work after school hours. It didnt matter if Urdu elective class was spent sleeping away since friday mornings were bad. hahah good times though! Finished life as a student 2007 december. Graduated with a Founders Award (alhamdolillah). Made my family most proud of me and that made me the most happiest!
Was offered a job at indus and 2008 jan’ i joined back as a teacher, a faculty member. Seemed so weird. Same place, same department, same studios, same teacher(now colleagues) but no matter what they remain my teachers for life, same juniors but what changed was, My Life!
My friends had gone and i had remained to continue being a friend to my juniors and to teach them what my teachers had taught me. Its been a year since i started teaching. Alhamdolillah its been a great journey. As a student it was easy to say ‘i dont know’ but not i can proudly say ‘Yes i know’.
From a student to a teacher, life has been good. hoping it continues to be the same! I have been the person as a teacher as i was as a student, Just my position at school has changed! but alhamdolillah i continue having the much loved Tea time with my juniors who are more than friends. My junior gang is now in final yr. Lots of prayers for them all! Inshallah they’ll make me proud!
Yes, i know!
=)
New year – New plan!
Every passing year things change naturally and selflikingly(if thats a word ;]) am sooooooo looking forward to this year, the year 2009!
Looking back at a wonderful 2008. the past year was full of many happy moments while some majorly sad ones. But alhamdolillah i got the faith to get over them and move on! Now am moving on to what i want to achieve. I want so many things in life but surely understand that everythign will when the time is behtar.
So all in all, waiting for things to happen my way and His way. Teaming up with allah mian is the best thing that can happen to anyone:)
Yayyy… Happy new year folks!
*lost – me*
Where is the happy me? Am not happy anymore like i’ve always been, my energy has drained. With being so busy otherwise I have lost my own self. I haven’t had time to think about myself, my life, my future, about Me. Sigh!
Need to re-discover, re-unite, re-cover, and re-create myself. Need to do something crazy for myself, that’ll bring the ME in me back!
“Happy New Year”
Signing off with a lot of prayers for every one of you…
shall be back soon..Inshallah!
*happy sunday with funny girl*
Am back to admiring people who are truly special in my eyes. Funny Girl as i call her, though she calls me rumbles! She’s a gem, the more i talk to her, i want to know more and more about her. She’s a deeeeeeeeeep well where there is so much to talk and learn from and at the same age as mine she’s done so much!
The first time i ever spoke to her was a month back i guess.. she’s been infront of my eyes all the time and she never spoke to me because she wouldnt do what others would do. She is some one who is on her way to find herself and on her way to this she is doing things that she wants to do. She’s passionate, she has played football on international level and has attended culinary school, been there-done that = glass technology. She loves travelling, that tooo trains, social workand leadership is all this girl is all about. Might just open a restaurant…
All in all she is someone i’ve found to be the most amazing in recent times. Hope u keep up with the spirit funny girl. And i shall remember you as the most important person of my life as u, Maheen Khan.
Ps: she claims to talk to me for a few more times and within a month she’ll be ready to write a cse study on me! i’ll be waiting for that =)
*Sc’08 and MHB*
Yayy…SC ’08 once again does wonders! We in collaboration with bullseye 360 and Ufone had Mekaal Hassan Band over at school for a concert! Ufone launches its U rock Package for music lovers.

manzil pay pohachtay hain do ik,
ai ehl-e-zamana qadr karo,

*Crimson*
Crimson
Years of conversation,
In fragments and as a whole,
Memories,
That grew into something more.
Til when a day came,
It all had to flutter away.
But Crimson was strong.
She didn’t sway.
When her heart was broken,
She smiled.
When her smile was weak,
She laughed.
And when she could laugh no more,
Tears came to her eyes,
As life was a joy.
And everything that came with it,
Was only a beginning.
The beginning that would march to her free spirit,
Bright, Bold, Beautiful and full of Belief.

*big things in life*
While talking to my friend/student currently in the foundation year at indus, found out that there are big things to be done in life…presenting… Nadir shehzad khan.
Nadir has dreams, he wants to become a super hero though he is a communication design student. Doing not so well according to many, but according to me doing absolutely amazing. He thinks indus is snubbing his talent and ideas but i keep telling him that to get to the talent bit his skills need that polish that foundation year will give him. He agrees yet disagrees(i know). Its funny how thinks in a complete different way. He is content and will be happy if has no 2nd yr ahead of him. Found some1 else other than me, who is content in this age and world.
Nadir, i see you as some BIG in this life ahead. You are a good boy, Keep it going. Hope you fullfill your dreams and all of us get a real life super hero. Ameen.
Go boy, get the world. There are just a few people who accept you the way you are!
What is life?
What is life?
Life is to live; to live for others,
Life is to see and admire the little things in it
It is to cry and laugh and then cry and laugh some more,
Life is to have no regrets, regrets hurt.
Life is to love flowers and people,
Life is to laugh, smile and make others smile,
Life is ‘jaadu ki jhappi’
Life is to doodle,
Life is color,
Life is to be positive.
Life is to pray, bless,
Life is to have faith in yourself,
To have faith in the Creator.
Life is -chocolate chip cookies and chocolate cake(homemade)-
Life is to love ‘someone’
It is to loose a friend and find your love
It is also to loose your love and find a friend for life.
Life is not easy,
Life, sigh…
Life is ‘mann ki lagan’
Life is to give respect,get some back,
Everyone needs a mate in their lives… to live.
Not everyone gets theirs easy…
Life is to move on….without regrets…
Life is with the ‘hand’, raise them to pray….
Life is a charm, Live and let live.
*happy living*
Square one?
Sigh.. okay i am some1 who luves life…alhamdolillah. I beleive in living life to the fullest and hence i use the term *happy living* , now ofcourse not everyones like me..and i have no worries with that BUT if i want to do something for some1 and they dont let me, that bothers me. I am absolutely good with names, important dates(read: birthday and milestones), and telephone numbers for that matter too.. but thats me. I certainly dont expect everyone to be like me…if all of us were the same, where’d the charm go? what the hell..square one!?!
If things dont happen my way… I wait! Thats me!
*happy living*
*Roses from him…*
PS. perhaps the best short story i have ever written.
Goals or Dreams?
There was a lecture at school from the “soch ke Pehlu” series, turned out to be the most successful. There are some people who preach but dont practice the same but we heard this guy talk for 3 hours and each and everything thing he said made so much sense. It was just great. He actually practices what he preaches.
We live in a world of our own, NOT thinking about the world which has everybody else in it. We work for our own goals, career, business… purpose of life.. GOALS!
Where are the dreams? Do we dream or have we forgotten about dreams while getting carried away by our goals? is the world running tooo fast? or it life running tooo fast? or are We running too fast?
*lost in my own thoughts*
_Faisal Qureshi rocks_
*Another day has come….*
There are somethings so important in your life yet u dont seem to treasure them everyday. Life runs off so fast that one has no time to stop and realize and be thankful for Allah’s blessings. And then one fine day, just one sms can make you realize that yess this is something i havent thought of lately. A good deed that i do everyday for some1 is being appreciated by Allah [i know]. But just one sms could make my day [i didnt know].
The day has just begun, i dont know whats ahead of me, BUT i know its going to be a great day. Inshallah. Thanx Mate.

shift and partyy!!!
Shifting apartments can be crazy with all the precious little things you’ve collected for so long and specially being an art student half ur life, u collect things thats ‘Kachra- read TRASH’ for most of the people around. only some can relate to it, “ammi and mayg api”.
From the little wrapping papers trimmings or even napkins which were meant to wipe ur face were kept in the handbag for some art activity (beleive me, we’ve managed some cool things from them though), oh and not to forget the endless amount of paper which u just dont want to throw away, stationary, craft books which take up all the place and are heavy too while u pack them in boxes marked *IMP-Craft magazines*
Oh and ofcourse all the huge-ass assignments you’ve done at indus, where do u keep those? oh u cant throw them away, its part of the “portfolio”. Sigh!
With all the deciding what to keep *almost all of it* and what to throw away *nothing actually* i shifted to the new apartment. Alhamdolillah. With all the shifting being done in exactly 2 days, which were ofcourse crrraaazzzy but lets come to best part of it all. The new place is an old building where i have spent 9 years of my childhood (0-9 years), where kids from the entire building played simon-says with my nana. Its good to be back from where i actually started my life… but this time its different.
Responsibility and management but thats fun! oh did i mention the best part yet, the apartment is on the top floor (oh yes the lift works!) with the entire terrace to myself, at night the view is beautiful. its a true definition of karachi being the city of lights! its a photographers dream to have a view like this. I stand and watch the sun rise in front of eyes and everyday Allah has a variety of colors for me to cherish. hayee…alhamdolillah.
Its rare to be living in a city and enjoy a starry night like i always do in sukkur! Waiting for ada, mayg api and mahnoor to come. Mahnoor you’ll have a large play area now! this calls for a family get together! Come soon folks!
*Alhamdolillah, Afterall whatever happens, happens for a reason*
=)
