the whole world under one roof without a world war!

one American, one Britisher, One Greek, two Chinese, and one pakistani.......
no this is not another one of those jokes with several dumb people from different countries making blunders to compete in stupidity!!
This is my flat, Brightmore house, which had all these nationalities under one roof.
there were no world wars!! but a few occasional arguments, solely addressing cleanliness.
three of the nationalities managed to become the closest of friends... which of coarse includes mine.
any guesses???
Chinese are not just my type of people, so that leaves behind four!!!!
now I don't have to spill the beans....
but the three of us were happy to have each other as flat mates!!!
everyone else had to leave and now only me and Vassiliki are here!!! alone in the huge flat!!
and when Vaz is not around... I hear strange sounds coming from the lounge!! :/
the haunted brightmore house??? :P

another milestone?

just another few months and I will be getting a post graduate degree (InshAllah)... a degree I really worked hard for.

I always wanted to pursue a masters degree, but now I want to pursue a doctorate.....

I don't think I have the stamina for that!!! the clinical masters and the stress that came with it, was enough for this life time!!!

but if at all I DO, end up perusing a phD, God help me!

I wont be "me" anymore..... I miss myself already!!!!

a story common for a lot of people! I simply loved it

beautiful Lyrics!! for all those who it relates to!! enjoy this lovely "SONG" by 'Anees Haider'

lil angel

today I became a "phupo" (Aunt)
I wish the lil angel all the happiness in the world.
wish I could be there with my family today, with my mother, my borther to share this big day!! I am stuck in a land, which has only "struggle" as the rule to survive!
soon this chapter of struggle will be closed and a new chapter will stare back at me with the 'forewords', too scary for me to handle!!!

kia naam doon

Dor koi bhi ho, baiton kay liaya maon kay khaab aik jaisay hee hotay hain

Un khabon kee zari main, kaheen tu doaun kee girhain lagnay lagti hain

aur kaheen umeed kee sheereni banti jaati hai

Laikin aksar surmay kee kaali lakeeron kay raastay saaray khaab beh jaatay hain

Kiyon kay tareekh ko shayad aik hee rang pasand tha…. laal rang

Wo….

Is do harfi kee bohat see shaklain hain

Wo ..jisay hum umer bhar chahtay hain

Wo…jissi hum kabhi nahi chahtay

Wo... jo hamaray saath rehta hai..

Wo… jo kabhi nahi milta..

Wo..jiss say hum naraz rehtay hain

Aur Wo.. jo apni marzi rakhta hai

Intezaarr

Bachpan main khilono ka intezar

Duaaon kay baad baarish ka intezar

Intezaar!!!!!

Chaltay chaltay koi naam dhoondta rehta hai

Gali kay moar pay tasweerain banata rehta hai

Kundiyon main atka rehta hai

Intezaar khatam ho jaata tu aankhain raaston say uth kay khud ko band na ker laiteen?

Intezaar kerna zaroori hai

Laikin intezaar ka thaiher jaana tu zaroori nahi

Hamaray pairon say bandhay raastay na ginti kay hain na gin’nay kay

Zindagee zaroorat kee unglii pakray dorti chali jaati hai

Koi awaz, koi sakoon, koi wada iss say rok nahi sakta

Khaahishon ka shoar, awaaz ko goongha ker daita hai

Aur zaroorat kee umar barhti rehti hai

Zindagee…zindagee bhala kahan rukti hai

Aik din mujhay raastay main aik shaks mila

Us nay haaton main do aik jaisay chehray utha rakhay thay

Poocha.. in do chehron ka kiya matlab

Bola.. aik main khud hoon, doosra ..duniya

Poocha..in main say tum kon ho

Bola..ab yaad nahi raha

Phir Poocha… iss ka fiada??

Bola..mujhay nuksaan say fiada uthanay kee aadat ho chuki hai

Kaheen door aik takhtii pay likhay hoyay kuch lafz muskura diaya

Aur hum dono nay apnay apnay chehray utha liyay
