In a few hours time it’s going to be a brand new year, 2008.

Here’s a wishing, Happy new year.. May this year be more blessed and less eventful than the last one.

I thank everyone who helped me around this year, smiled at me, laughed at me, made fun of me, or had good or bad times with me. I can not thank you enough.

I thank my parents, family and friends for being there for me. I thank the staff at my work place for being kind gentle and fun to work with.

Thanks everyone and once again, Happy New year.

Thursday 27th of December 2007, was the day that will go down in history as one of the worst days of Pakistan, why ? Because Benazir Bhutto (Former Prime Minister of Islamic Republic of Pakistan) was assassinated in Rawalpindi, and also because hell broke loose all over Pakistan.

I was one of the many people working their soft asses in hard seats in their office, and suddenly some moron (big bad bloody moron) kills her…

Me along, with the rest of the office crew rush out to save our little and tiny butts from those violent and crazy loosers that roam the streets and create chaos and panic with no real gains ! I m very much convinced PPP has lots of lovers and en equal number of haters too..Seriously !

I had to live 2 and half days at my dad’s sister’s place with no real internet connection and no prepaid credit amount in my cellphone and no charge on my ipod… damness !

Things may get even more shittier… Am I angry you ask..hell yes I m .. and at the same time I m very sad and extend my condolences to all those who matter !

May the departed souls rest in peace.

It’s going to be New Year soon, and we’re getting surprises already

Pakistan is going to be exploring Space soon, and even the south and north poles of this very planet, and guess what, we’ll even have our flag there.

Namira Saleem, is the lady who’s proud she’s going for this such an awesome travel, and surprise surprise, she’s an artist

Here’s the excerpt from the news itself :

"Reflect a positive image of Pakistan as a peace-loving and progressive country"

ISLAMABAD: Namira Salim, who is undergoing training to be the first Pakistani to go into space, is also set to become the first citizen of the country to travel to the North and South Poles.

Salim will hoist Pakistan’s flag at the South Pole when she travels there next month as a member of an international expedition.

Caretaker Prime Minister Muhammedmian Soomro on Monday presented the flag to 35-year-old Salim, a well-known artist who will blast off into space in the world’s first commercial space liner in 2008.

Eid’s almost over, I m supposed to meet H-N and Najam today, let’s hope we have fun, this Eid went pretty much relaxing, but boring ! The Bar B Q wasn’t fun either !

I m also working on the new version of my portfolio website, which should be online soon, I m kind of leaving out the much light colours and using a bit dark tones this time, so far I m liking what I’ve done, and I m not to start coding until I feel satisfied with the whole layout and design.

Also I would like to wish everyone a happy new year, 8 days before it actually will be a new year, I m not sure, if I will be able to wish people at the right time, so a little early is better

I m thinking of doing something crazy, not harmful though, any suggestions would be great

Till then, Happy New year ! Farewell 2007. Welcome 2008. (Let’s hope for a refreshing peaceful year)

There, everyone’s celebrating, and here I m, trying to destroy everyone’s spirits ! Not really trying hard, am I ?

It’s Eid, I should be happy, isn’t ? It’s not much of a Happy Eid anymore,  wake up, those who don’t know… People are dying, people are helpless, and yet here we are spending carelessly on things those people won’t even care thins minute…

A train collapsed recently while in Karachi, and a reported 50 number of people are announced dead ! A famous artist Gull Jee, is killed and what not, people what’s happening ?

And then again, Eid Mubarak, we’re going to be giving out meat and sweets to people to like, love or care about, and then switch to the other edge, people will be dying of hunger !

I know I m ruining it, but yes I se things, and there are things I don’t like, being a hypocrite is one of them ! If you care, and really care, then actually care… Words aren’t enough !

Eid Mubarak everyone, please be nice !

Oh yes, it’s day two with minimum sleep, and guess what, loads and loads of caffeine intake ! Superb I say Shhh.. Mom doesn’t know that !

Yes work load is on an all time high, considering we have Eid (An Islamic Event celebrated across the world based on a lunar calendar), in a few days time, probably two days I guess, and this project I m working on, along with another fella at the office (Zair), needs to be done for before that time, and by done for I mean another Release, not the final one… Interesting ? Hell ya !

I may be stuck till the last day before Eid starts, but I hope this stuff wraps up before that, hopefully.

Oh btw, unlike lots of companies, our work place is awesome, so even if we stay late and work like crazy (even though that’s not quite the case), we enjoy it

Before I sign off, and take some sleep, I m missing lots of people, specially the Mystery ‘M’ girl Love ya !

The song remains the same take II (Saturday, December 15th, 2007. 8:15pm to 11:15 pm), an event which gave a little fresh air to my a bit of rusty life. Why did I go there, cause H-N’s band was performing, and what did I see and hear was more than just awesome.

Gunaah

The show starts off late, which is not something new for most Karachites, and then the stage is taken by Gunaah (H-N’s band). They do a fair amount of playing and rocking, making an impression with ‘Keep on rocking in the Free world‘ the G3 version. Even though they started with ‘Nagin‘, an instrumental, from 1950’s, but I honestly thought this would’ve been left for the last. Then they had a cover of Noori ‘Saari Raat Jaga‘ which had noticible mistakes, and hence leaves a big room of improvement. The last track they did was also a cover ‘Psycho‘ by System of a Down, which was loud and rocking, seriously !

Bottom line, I loved Keep on rocking in the free world, and Psycho.

Imran Lodhi

We then had Imran Lodhi take the stage and perform one of his originals, which was nice, turns out Imran is one friendly person himself… Rock on rock on..

Spoonful

Spoonful had then taken the stage with a rather long guy as the vocalist, and I mean seriously tall.. These folks did ‘Born to be Wild‘ by Stephen Wolf, which is one of the songs I really love to hear, and boy they did an awesome job with it ! They even did awesome job with ACDC’s ‘Highway to Hell‘, which is another one of my favourites. Cheers boys.

7 on 3rd

Seven on Third took the light of the stage, starting out with ‘Bleed it out‘ by Linkin Park, which showed lack of skills, but as soon as they hit Metallica, I was stunned and impressed, they sounded almost like original Metallica. I m their new fan, their performance was followed by a small fight between the organizers and the fans of 7 on 3rd, since the band performed an extra song which wasn’t quite as planned due to the lack of time.

The Great Drama Queen Conundrum

The Last performance was of The Great Drama Queen Conundrum, I had lost interest in the show a bit, due to the fight, but these guys were good none the less, ‘Foxy Lady’ by Jimmy Hendrix was an awesome work with music, but Vocals, I’d say need work. The vocalist may have made a presentable performance, but since the vocals need a bit of work, things can be daunting to handle.

None the less the show was a run away hit, which rocked the night for any Rock loving bum.

Cheers.

I m feeling some goodness for no real reason, really, you see, I think I came out of the mini depression period, and it so seems that one of my friends is into one, yes this is my reference to H-N’s depression (This is what I mean). Oh and I just got to know, that H-N’s mom has been admitted to the hospital, pray for her, please.Najam (gr8najam) is also in town, on a break from work (Dubai), so things should be a little fun, or that’s what I m hoping.

H-N also has a gig coming up this Saturday, I hope his mom fees much better then, so that he can concentrate on his music !

I have also been thinking of re-doing my current website, which looks a little stale now, it deserves a make over, and that it should get !

As far as work is concerned, it’s going great, and it’s lovely to work around here ! Seriously, things can get not so nice some times, but mostly it’s awesome !

A couple of other things are also going through my mind, that I m due for a proper outing, seriously, I mean yes me, H-N went out with Najam yesterday, but that wasn’t really an outing, also since H-N wasn’t in a good mood. I m planning to go to India next year (Oh and thats for vacations, unlike some bithchy artists :P). Let’s see what happens next.

And this post is written while I m in office

Other than that, prayers please

Hi everyone, welcome me back for another little while, my life has become a lot busy these days, which is good and bad at the same time.

The Goodness
I believe that being busy helps you forget all the painful and difficult time you’ve had, and takes you away from stuff you don’t want to get involved in, and for the most part it keeps me busy and really happy, and cheerful.

The badness
I think I missing a lot on the relations ! I m missing talking to my parents and my sis for long hours, it’s been ages since I had a long good laugh with them ! Then I missing my girl, I haven’t spoke to her in some time, a big sometime that is

I missing my friends outside my office box too, I had Asim come over to my place though, but I miss those long hours we spent together ! I miss having to chat long hours with my buddies online. I rarely get time for that now.

Other than those odd emotions burping inside my boing boing soul ! We have eid coming up in a few days, and my mom’s youngest bro is in the city too, which is kind of good, it’s been 5 years since he was last here !

He got me an iPod dock from icraig which is super awesome, and a travel charger too, which is nice ! and pretty handy

the other part belonging to the ipod thing is that my belt clip of the iskin is broken bad, now I have to buy another ipod protective casing, damn !

Any how, pray for me, for everyone !

(I seriously pray that every smoker quits smoking - Ameen)

I was not really well a day before, and that’s one reason I did not go to the office, I had diarrhea.. some one some where should go..eww. !

Any how, since I was better yesterday, better as in, I was a little weak, but I wasn’t that bad, and as it so happened that H-N had a date, and guess what, I was taken along on his and his brother’s date !

I didn’t think much of it as a date, didn’t seem like one ! Looked more like a casual hangout with out much joys in it ! It was a kind of ok thingy, coz one of her friend’s was there too, and she had just gone through the pain of a broken engagement ! Oh well, I hope she’s better soon ! Never mind !

Then we headed to Sadar, Regal where we grabbed H-N’s not really fixed and working computer and bought it to H-N’s place grabbed some yummy dinner, I seriously loved that ‘Jhinga Chawal’ (english : Prawn Rice), that his mom cooked ! I m learn to make that now !

Any how, later we got his computer to my place,where we tried, 4 different hard drives, to make his PC work, did some crappy installations, and basically tried to make it work, I m hoping it keeps working, even though it’s not one of the machines I would recommend people to work with, but for a regular home use, it’s ok !

I know there’s not much geekness in this post, and really wans’t mean’t to be, I just wanted to make that image
