*sigh* koi tou kuch bataye
questions are always welcome… :) the answers await them…
there are only words required at times
agreed… until and unless they’re provoked…
and at times, words and then thoughts behind them lay untouched, unspoken
some words are more effective when they’re left unspoken, thoughts not thought of… for blemished memoirs are treasured more than crisp and bright accounts of recent past…
what abt the undied emotions regarding it who wouldnt lie still in their graves
hmm… maybe they loaf and wander around for times when our spirit is levitated to a state when it wants to break out of the mold and speaks for itself… those emotions come in handy then… they fuel our expressions at all levels… who knows…
hmmm.. the unbearable pain will always make u grow..
true… it sure does.
and one more thing i’d like to quote from my blog:
“…for pain stays longer than happines and is felt anew whenever that past haunts you…”
So this is the first for me. Writing a blog post from my mobile. Hurrayyy! That’s really cool. With my nokia 6230 and Wordpress with a plugin and my lazy ass. Hehe this sounds great!
I’m going to tell you a story. A powerful wizard, who wanted to destroy an entire kingdom, placed a magic on the communal well, so as whoever drank that water would go mad.
The following morning, the whole population drank from the well and they all went under the spell, apart from the king and his family, who had a well set aside for them alone, and which the magician had not managed to poison. The king was worried and tried to control the population by issuing a series of edicts governing security and public health. The policeman and the inspectors, however, had also drunk the poisoned water and they thought the king’s decisions were absurd and resolved to take no notice of them.
When the inhabitants of the kingdom heard these decrees, they became convinced that the king had gone mad and was now giving nonsensical orders. They marched on the castle and called for his abdication.
In despair, the king prepared to step down from the throne, but the queen stopped him, saying; let us go and drink from the communal well. Then, we will be the same as them.
And that was what they did; the king and the queen drank the water of madness and immediately began talking nonsense. Their subjects repented at once; now that the king was displaying such wisdom, why not allow him to continue ruling the country?
The country continued to live in peace, although its inhabitants behaved very differently from those of its neighbors. And the king was able to govern until the end of his days.

So they played havoc and f*cked it all… the city is crying and dying… but who cares? you and me? eh.. caring and being concerned isn’t enough! How long can we stay like that?
Here are a few voices i want to share… responses to questions asked and talks and words…
Question #1:
So… how have you been seeing the day’s progress today? Any 1-3 line opinion or words you’d like to utter (the limit excludes the profanities you may or may not use - using them with due credits is highly appreciated)
Replies:
highly depressing,
but then, what can the common man do?
> hmm… that’s the thing.. but shall we stay the same? doesn’t that change us from inside ?
the people who so calmly terrorized the whole city are from among you and me
jab tak hum sab bewaqoof bantay rhaeingay these things will happen
> yah exactly… but for how long.. that’s the question we should answer ourselves..
it makes me sick…
this is so shattering me… it’s so inexplicable
im feeling sick coz i cant go to meet my mom at the hospital… :( wut more can i say
all i know dat this was expected from long time before but never thought of it wud happen like this .. but this is it
its been a show which was pre planned
to the minutest detail
> they can all go to mush’s backside actually… but then.. there’s already no room!
whether planned or unplanned… they suck bigtime.. the agencies and the controlling authorities..
what do you think about altaf q*s** after today’s bloody day
>he’s a b**t*rd and he can shove himself in musharraf’s backside :@
>and this ch**Ra even got the nerve to blame it on others and presenting himself as a victim! What the f***! Hello! Welcome to LALA land, everybody’s stupid here!?
I don think he can go into mush’s bush coz ch. brothers n sheikh rasheed already live there. But sincerely hope karachiites demand a new n true karachi ka leader
>But what do you think most of the karachi population made up of?
Who’s really concerned about the city and actually thinks like us and can do something? Errrkkk! wrong! It’s made up of those rats who can’t even distinguish if that’s mush’s bush! and they have the arms…
Well my idea of “those concerned n ready to do something for khi” is based on humanism instead of ethnic, cultural or religious basis which wd include someone like me too. I am truly convinced if we raise ourselves above our fears, language or ethnicity, karachi is the only city beside islamabad who can kick butts n create democracy…

India and Pakistan have become a dumping ground for banned drugs; also the business for production of banned drugs is booming. Please make sure that you buy drugs only prescribed by a doctor (Also, ask which company manufactures it, this would help to ensure that u get what is prescribed at the Drug Store) and that also from a reputed drug store. Not many people know about these banned drugs and consume them causing a lot of damage to themselves. We forward Jokes and other junk all the time. This is far more important.
Please make sure to forward this mail to everyone you know.

Sometime ago, I read this novel By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept by Paulo Coelho.
It was a nice lovey dovey sort. and of course presents a lot more to to ponder.
Specially the following few paras which I’ve been reading again and again… pondering over them and thinking about it.
1
I’ve paid a considerable price for the little I have gained. I’ve been forced to deny myself many things I’ve wanted, to abandon so many roads that were open to me. I’ve sacrificed my dreams in the name of a larger dream — a peaceful soul. I didn’t want to give up that peace.
2
The gods throw the dice, and they don’t ask whether we want to be in the game or not. They don’t care if when you go, you leave behind a lover, a home, a career, or a dream. The gods don’t care whether you have it all, whether it seems that your every desire can be met through hard work and persistence. The gods don’t want to know about your plans and your hopes. Somewhere they’re throwing the dice — and you are chosen. From then on, winning or losing is only a question of luck.

I’ve been in love before. It’s like a narcotic. At first it brings the euphoria of complete surrender. The next day, you want more. You’re not addicted yet, but you like the sensation, and you think you can still control things. you think about the person you love for two minutes, and forget them for three hours.
“But then you get used to that person, and you begin to be completely dependent on them. Now you think about him/her for three hours and forget him/her for two minutes. If s/he’s not there, you feel like an addict who can’t get a fix. And just as addicts steal and humiliate themselves to get what they need, you’re willing to do anything for love.
