Alot of people know that I haven’t been well medically, that is my health isn’t at it’s best right now, so I m staying a little low, and with 25th December, I thought I’d relax alot at home, though the plan was to watch movies and stay up, it didn’t quite work out that way :S

Asim had come over and we had to watch movies with soup and pizza, instead we spent most of the night at the hospital.. My dad developed some sort of very harsh muscle pain around the ribbs, the pain grew way too much and had to be taken to the hospital immediately, and thats what we did !

Dad is much better now, and there’s a little progress on my Bell’s Palsy thing too.

Anyways, when we were back from the hospital, we were a little exhausted, but still Asim insisted that we watch Transporter 3, we did put it on, but started feeling so sleepy so soon, that we had to snooze instead of watching the movie.

Now I got to sleep a little, so I can get to work on time. Oh and btw, Beleated Happy Birthday to Muhammad Ali Jinnah (25th, December), and Belated X-Mas.

It’s actually been like a week since I dropped in Dubai, but I didn’t get the time to write something, I know that may some of you off, but apology is all I can offer right now !

Any how, I flew here to assist a company “Illusio” in their design department, and it’s been a good ride so far.

I didn’t get to meet all my relatives in this time period, even though I met some of them, today again, I’ll be out visitng some of my relatives, because while I m living here, I might need their attention and they might need mine, so it’s good to keep up with them.

As for me being here, right now it’s going to be a short term, ut probably stretch to full scale soon.

Then this company Illusio, has finally given me a mac to work with, my last work space had all PC’s this is one of the things that I actually like about this place. And again the people are fun to be with, even the head guy is awesome as in he’s a full time funkie guy with the employees.

Since it’s Dubai and you’ll see alot of people around that belong to different parts of the world, it’s interesting to know some of them, and again some of is not so good, but overall it’s been a good experience.

Then my family back in Karachi has been missing me alot, much more than I m missing them, I know they love me more than I do, it’s kind of obvious ! My parents gave birth to me, and most creators love their creation. Mom and dad I love you.. and you my little sis ! One of my coolest friend is also probably missing me in Pakistan, yah it’s the one and only cool guy: Asim. miss you too man. oh and his bro’s here too. There’s two more important people I m missing.. M lady and uzey. Love both of you too… M lady, Love you alot !

Oh I just forgot, I m with babrus, one of the coolest folks I know, he’s a little down lately, I know some of the reasons, but I m not going to share them. also his uncle passed away yesterday, a moment of silence and prayers for him please.

That’s about what’s in my head right now. Love you all !

A couple of folks at my work place might know this, and alot of my relatives and friends do too. My dad is not well, and had a mild paralysis attack this last Tuesday, two days before the independence day.

Here’s what happened.

We are assuming this Attack was in the morning, since he seemed to have remembered, he had some sort of jerking movement in the morning at around 6, when we all had left the house, or work and school, but since we usually don’t talk in the morning, and just walk our ways, he didn’t notice he had a paralysis attack, he went to the toilet, and returned to bed.. He’s usually up by 7:30.. Some guy had come over at around 8, and dad attended him, but could not speak, his first thought was that he was low on sugar, so he made tea and added around 3 teaspoons of sugar, soon his friend had called for some work, but as he noticed that dad was not in a good condition he rushed to the house, only to find a weaker and ill Farid Khan (my dad), he asked dad to be taken to the hospital, but he refused assuming it might not me somehitng major, and some thing just caused by low sugar, and he lay down.

Around after noon, when mom was home and so was my sister, mom got to know the whole situation and dad was taken to the doctor, where he recieved medicines and a list of tests.. Dad had become a little better since the medicines, but was alot weaker and not in the position to do anything. He wanted to sleep.

Next day I took a day off from office and took dad to the nearest hospital “KIRAN Hospital (Karachi Institute of Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine)” where all the tests were carried out, turned out he had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high sugar, and add to that, he smokes a lot..

The docs advised that he should not be taking oily and greesy foods anymore, and salt intake should be reduced to the minimum, and smokes are a no no…

Leaving long time habbits is a bit task, and a person might get angry and frustrated at that.. Something that I witnessed recently is also this anger.. Though he got the situation..

We had to take him to Liaqat National Hospital for a second opinion, but couldn’t get an appointment, so we’ll go there in the morning tommorrow, but today we went to a different hospital to get the tests again, just a check..

He’s improving and getting better, I hope he’s back to normal soon, regardless of how angry he might get at me, at things that I do sometimes, and regardless of our generation gap, I love him, and he loves me, and thats what matters, I with my family, want to him to be rocking again..

Love you dad.. Get well soon.
