*Walk your Talk*
What are people thinking who aren’t being themselves and acting out to be someone else. Whats the whole deal of imitating others while your aren’t that somebody. How hard is it to be urself?
I’ve heard this a lot, ‘don’t change and be yourself, you’re loved the way your are’ and i’ve always wondered, how does one NOT be oneself.
I love it when i can be myself with a certain group of people i call friends. Bless them all. Ameen.

*the voice of the dying horse*
All in the name of good humor, me and the ‘drrrum it’ friend S, laugh our heads off when we talk about mohd ali and zeba(shabbo style) of our very own Pakistani film industry. S, so rightly put it saying this dialogue, ‘‘shaboooo’’ *inserting this- the voice of a dying horse*

Who are these right people?? Are they the ones, you like? Or the ones you would want to like? Or the ones who like you? Or maybe someothers?
Life’s been good Allah ka shukr. Hectic and busy, but that’s all part of the game called LIFE. Semester ended yesterday and I’m sitting here, hugging the holidays and planning things out that are kept untouched and marked ‘to do in the summer break’. Need to plan an exhibition with friends, PSL(Pakistani sign language for the hearing impaired) is on my list, a quick trip to sukkur, Revamp my bedroom (that includes painting the walls)*excited*, have a few weddings to attend and be back at work, 3rd week July.
Am doing a few projects simultaneously and a few I dont even know about and friends make me realize that I did this and that and it really made some1 change their perspective towards LIFE. Woah.. now that’s an achievement I guess.
High on learning, admiring, realizing, planning and hoping to execute, welcoming new friends in the circle, Ad and Amy.
I have met the right people. Alhamdolillah.
High on happy living…wohoooo….

To compare or not to compare!
This came to my mind when i read this
http://umarpirzada.wordpress.com/2008/01/25/dont-compare-yourself-with-anyone/
comparing can be of different levels, if ur comparing urself to some1 regarding work for instance if some1 is better than u in class at work and always gets a better grade than u and ur striving for the best yet not the best…then u tend to compare urself, ur potential, ur work to others…
that sort of comparing works right ada???
‘cuz, then u tend to learn from ur mistakes and try to fix where u went wrong and actually get better at what u weren’t….
‘be urself, everybody else is taken…..so true…’
