My first love!

Posted by Alta on October 14, 2009

I love every small thing there is,though not perfect it is what it is.For all the faults that are there,we are to blame,all of us.We have failed but its not the end of  it,its just the beginning.

I have this simple almost childish trust and believe in this country and its people,that we will rise out of all our problems however long or hard the road is,we will survive and we will as a nation become what we were supposed to be,become and realize the dream that Iqbal had for us.

That we will live up to the name and not let the sacrifice of so many before 1947 and every man woman and child who has lost his life defending this country either in a war or in some other attack.That we will be able to look them in the eye then shy away when we see them.

Mixed bag

Posted by Alta on October 11, 2009

Its been a long week and the weekend didnt last long enough! Yet some how i am in a good mood,a very good mood.Normal for most very strange for me :)

Work has been up and down,boring and yet very busy,crazy busy but only for so long and then back to boring again.All of last night the dreams were of work,i woke up sometime in the morning and thats when i realized that i was dreaming,and not actually at work.

Its not new to me,i dream about work often but never so vividly and never seem to remember exactly what was happening in the dream.Needless to say wasnt a pleasant one :)

Its funny how people will ask you anything and suggest things out of the blue.Also funny how people try and dig for gossip,funnier i am more then happy to give them enough to last a few weeks,sadly none of it is true.Also whats sad is that i am losing my touch of making things up as i go along and feed people who need the gossip.

I had the perfect opportunity to do so a few days ago and i didnt,i have failed myself and the Gods,i do not know what to do.Even though in my defense if i had fed that person i would prob be dead right now.

Anyone know why there is no Pakistani team in the champions league cricket thats on tv right now?

Kerry Luger  Its getting too old now,the politicians need to come up with something new now.And the media needs to get a proper debate together,cause the politicians are not going to debate about it and the avg joe will never know what the truth is.

No Nadeem Paracha today in the papers? anyone know why? and the mag sucked today!!

Back to work tomorrow :( and another week!!

Ah Joy!

Posted by Alta on September 19, 2009

I hate Eid,yes i do!!

OK i am in a bad mood right now,not sure why to be honest i guess being ill or down for the last few days doesn’t help and knowing that there will be a few days of boredom and not doing anything,with people all happy and wanting to meet and greet.

Why is everyone so happy,oh its eid well so?? i just don’t like eid

So yeah great,family dinner to look forward to,have the same conversation
with my uncle that i have had for the last 3 or 4 years,the country is great
(it is!!) the people are fools(they are!!),the politicians are…well we know what
they are.

Business is down,why are you still selling cars and doing well,its all going down hill,do something,then about his new plan or so,well ill have my own new plan this time!! so HA!

We have never celebrated eid as such,okay that’s not true.We did and i liked eid,waking up early was a downer,loved the first day dinner with aunts and cousins from dads side over for dinner.and after that i hated it!!
Second day lunch at and with moms side of the family,like the whole family
and i dont like them,prob nice people i dont know dont care dont want :)

At least i dont have to go through that anymore,but then the first day of eid isnt the same either the dinner on the first day with dads family is there but the family isnt there,well just one aunt and the aunt i loved is not here,not sure if ill ever see her,not sure if i want to.

Eid isnt what it used to be for me as a kid,but then thats normal for most people or so id like to think.Over the years its just become a few days off,sleep and more sleep.I just dont see it as a festive occasion or something to look forward to or be happy about,yes i know i am a sad little git :)

So yes its time,to be grumpy,for others to be happy,random messages and texts well if anything if people can forget and get out of the daily grind and be happy for a few days may there be more of these days,ill just sleep through them ;)

And best thing with eid being here? lunch!! No more Holy Month and i can have tea and my lunch!! (i would have had smokes on that list but its been well over 6months? and i havent smoked so yay! I guess i am not in that bad a mood afterall)

Whats a muslim?

Posted by Alta on September 6, 2009

I wonder how many more centuries are needed to answer the question

Justice Munir Report on the 1954 anti-Ahmadi riots in Lahore. In the course of the inquiry, Justice Munir pointedly asked every Muslim scholar who appeared before him if he knew of a definition of Islam which could be acceptable by the other sects as well; which could equally apply to everyone and by the help of which we could define, ‘Yes, this is a Muslim’, and ‘That is not a Muslim’.

In the report Munir submits that no two scholars among all Muslim scholars interrogated, agreed on a single definition of what Islam was.

In the case of one particular scholar, he wanted some more time to think over it, and Justice Kayani, who was a partner of Justice Munir in the enquiry commission, said: ‘I cannot give you more time because you have already taken more than fourteen hundred years to ponder over this question. Is that not enough? If fourteen centuries, plus some years are not enough for you to be able to define the very fundamentals of Islam, how much more time would you require?’

About a girl

Posted by Alta on August 24, 2009

I dont remember when i met her for the first time,or how old i was either and i am certain she doesnt know for sure either.I met her again 3 years ago,a brief meeting,after many years of no interaction,having lived in different countries,wanting different things and having different dreams.

As i sat there talking to her,there was this ease,as if we had known each other,that we had met before,indeed we had but there had been a gap of 8 or 9 years but that some how didnt matter.I have always told her that,with her there never was any pretending,i have never felt more at ease with her then with anyone else,even more so now.
