Emotional Landscapes....

The 8th roza is over and done with....
and just a few days, or rather months ago we were saying k abhi to ramadan bohat duur hai. Time just flows by, u don't even get a chance to appreciate how fast it goes. Right now m all for it flying as fast as it can :)
Uni has become so boring [it never was interesting in the first place] and due to ramadan we are taking a break from all the bazaar work. So, i kinda have nothing much to do these days... that is if u don't count thinking and worrying as 'work'.

It's such a pity theres nothing blog worthy happening around now that i have some time.... who knows where will i be next year the same time around..

on a separate note, i was just blog-hopping and realized how the blogosphere has changed. So many old people have taken a break from blogging or just simply committed blogicide. So many new people have joined in.... but most of all i feel so totally out of place...

I posted here earlier....some where in March about my best-est friend getting married. She got nikkahfied in March. And i remeber that feeling which i had when she was signing on the papers...which heralded beginning of a new life.... with a new person....and as a new person. I felt as if she was going away..
...and if that wasn't enuf... a phone call today made it all the more harder.

'Toobz m going..to Canada. today. but don't worry. i'll be back in december. just in time for your wedding'

...and i was speechless.

HOW ON EARTH do u come to grips with the fact that ur best friend has suddenly decided to fly away to her husband just on ONE day's notice?? everything happened in a matter of a day...thats what she says. but STILL. i mean i am REALLLLLYYYYYY happy for her.... realllly.... beyond words..... but still its extremely difficult nonetheless!

GOD! i cant even put my thoughts together properly. m sure its total crap whatever ive written. but oh what the heck!

in all the colors of a rainbow...

Its surprising how your mood affects the way you look at things.... at the world in general and your surroundings in particular.

I got to know you better...

"I thought one day I'd forgive you,
Sadly, I got to know u BETTER"


[read this on gaping void today and it just is SO apt]

People like you are what make one lose faith in friendship... people like you who just wear a mask...and are horrible underneath. I hate you for what you did...hate you for what you turned into. Hate the way you hurt me. hate the way you abandoned. hate everything about you. EVERYTHING.

I thought you were different
I believed when you said you never would
I believed in YOU
I believed in FRIENDS

and i hate the fact that you chose not to walk with me
i hate the fact that you wouldnt be there on the most wonderful day of my life
i hate the fact that you chose to be YOU

in fact.... if thats what u really are, then i am GLAD that you aren't here anymore
..... but deep down inside, i believe you still were different.
you just don't know it!

Again..

It happened again.
once more the city was gripped by fear last night.
9 armed men first threw a hand grenade at a G-7 bus which set it on fire and then showered it with bullets.
It was all in FRONT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KARACHi.
just a day after a clash between 2 students parties
and a couple of weeks after the death of student members of a student party by their rivals
and they say it wasnt 'targeted'
DUh!

the four years i have spent on campus have been full of fear and uncertainty... one day everything is all hunky dory, and the next thing you know is that students somewhere are hurling stones at each other and end up injured... or sometimes even lose their lives! All at a place where we are supposed to prepare ourselves to face the world... and to look in the eyes of life!

But then... this is what life outside the campus is all about.... fight to save yourself...fight to make yourself heard...fight! and bas... yehi hai.

A regular day at the KU campus is just like that of the city.... frantic.lazy...
you'll see people rushing to classes...or rushing away from them...you'll see people lazing near the canteens... people lounging in the lobby... people having fun... or them bitching about the endless miseries one has to go thru if one chose KU as their home for four years...

Isn't that what we all do? at all times.
complain.
bitch about things
bitch about people
bitch about circumstances
bitch about the ugliness of life
...all while sipping on iced tea...

and then we get up
and go back to the warmth of our cozy homes
and then bitch more
about maids
about service men who never turn up
about kids
about spouses
about noisy neighbors
about litter in the street

...and then we sleep

Ok. so i think ive just lost it. no not my marbles. i think ive lost the 'blogger' in me! hah! sounds like ive lost my sould or something. nahi seriously. i just can't bring myself to it. ive been meaning to re-posses this place for some time but i just sit and stare at the screen...and sip pineapple juice. yeah m THAT boring. but its so ironic in a way. i used to blog abt nothing. i used to blog abt my dull boring life. and abt the dull boring people associated wid it :P and now that i HAVE a life, at least it looks like i'll have one soon [:p] i just dont get enuf time to sit and ramble for no one. but thats the point of rambling, isnt it? so i guess i'll just ramble.
ramble
ramble ramble.
m thinking of renaming this place....something on the more merrier tunes of...errrr....weddings... :P
or better yet.... something cheesier :p

yeah m insane
