Sitting amidst rich people

I went to Super Market a few days back and it was after quite some time. I think I saw some changes in the people or was it the area it self, I haven't figured that out yet. I guess people of Isloo are changing because of enlightened moderation. More of the girls were wearing jeans and shirts. Anyway who cares? People have the right to wear what ever they want to wear!
I had basically went to buy a book to read (which I did in the end). I noticed a marked increase in the prices of the books, even in the pirated ones. I bought a book buy John Grisham and finished it in a day. John Grisham is one of my favorite authors.
I may have mentioned earlier that I notice a lot in my surroundings and what's happening around me. While going around in the market I saw for an instant a middle aged man while passing in front of him, who sitting infront of a shop selling socks! I think his legs were either broken or he had some disease. The socks on display were only few in number possibly 8-10. And they seemed to be of the lowest quality. And I wondered for rest of the night about the life of that poor guy who trying to earn a living in the harsh cold weather. Who was at the mercy of the rich. I felt sorry for him but what could people like me do except just pray to Allah. One of my priority in life would be to help poor people like these in the future ( provided that I was very rich).

Alone in the dark...

Here I sit in the my room in dark and the time on my PC's clock is 12:27 am. I am wondering if I should be asleep in bed or not. I feel that I am slowly moving into oblivion and it feels good like that. I have a physics test tomorrow and my preparation for it as always seems to be unsatisfactory!
I can hear people walking above my floor and I wonder what they are doing at this hour of the night( most probably the girls must be watching TV). I had been thinking about this trip to Donga Gali( some place near Murree) for some days now. I have got flu and throat infection due to the cold. The trip sounds tempting so in the end I decided to go as some of my friends are going( its a school trip) and it would be fun if there was snow there!
Moreover its the last year in high school so I thought I would attend every event this year. Its been a while since I have been on night prowling. My brother snores and for a moment I got curious whether I snore or not. Who cares?( Maybe my wife will when I get married. Still a long way for that...)
I have to register for SAT2 and today I heard someone say that the seats for the test have already been taken both in Islamabad and Lahore. Thanks to my ever slow and retarded brain. Damit!
Simultaneously I am also orkuteering! Orkut has taken Pakistan by storm! Now that the population of paindo people is more than the decent ones I was thinking of switching to My Spaces. Thanks to their fraindsheep messages they can be noticed every where( I wonder why don't they correct the spelling)! I already have an account there but I didn't like its interface. Anyway SPIDER has speculated that Orkut is out and My Spaces is in! Although I disagree with that because Orkut is much easier and faster.
Haaaaaaaa...! I think I better sleep...

Being Blind

The world cup for the blind has started recently in Islamabad and the matches are only being held at F-9 Park and the E-9 sector( my very own sector) cricket ground. Although the ground is near to my home but I still haven't gone to watch one of the matches( the reason being too lazy to move around)!
Anyway I tried to see one of the match today between Pakistan and England, but when I reached there the match was already over and England was already packing to go back to their hotels, while the Pakistani team had already left. I will try again tomorrow to watch a match. Anyway I later found out that Pakistan had won.
My point here is not just reporting the event but to creat awareness about blind people and their difficulties. How many times in our lives do we thank Allah for giving us two eyes to see this beautiful world, so vibrant and rich in colours. Could a normal person ever bare to live without seeing his surroundings? I guess no! Well that's why God has created these people so that it reminds us of the bounties, the gifts and the blessings that He has given us. More over its also a test for us that we should help these needy people who need our constant support.
I have recently read that scientist have created a device that aids a visually impaired person to see which also include those which are totally blind. They can make out different objects around them through that device which is constantly modified to bring out a better version of it. I hope that one day blind people would be able to see completely.

Living without TV...

Since we shifted to our new home we didn't open our TV. So I haven't watched TV for around 3 or 4 months( except for the time when I watched it at other peoples houses). So my point is that people think that they can't live without certain things like TV, a PC or a mobile and I think that they are bull shitting!
For me it has been quite peaceful. I mean that TV wastes a lot of our time. So I have adopted reading which is a much better & pleasurable activity. Although I still count my self in the those people who are slaves to technology and who would consider there lives more painful without the use electronic gadgets( but livable).
Anyway I do like TV if the above script sugests that I am anti-TV. TV has its advantage because of the vast amount of information you can get on it. All the latest news from around the world and you know a lot of different things.
Who cares people can watch what ever they want but my point here was that we can live without TV if not without the internet!

Road to Peshawar

I just came back from Peshawar a few a hours back! It has inevitably started to rain from yesterday. Its raining in Peshawar and its raining here in Islamabad. So most probably its also raining in the rest of Pakistan. The temperature has dropped significantly. I had gone to Peshawar to attend my second cousins wedding. Although wedding ceremonies are meant to be enjoyed but I think this one was boring like any other. I don't know why I end up hating a get together(either a family or a friends one)!
I noticed quite a significant change in Peshawar. While I thought it would be the same or may be even more backward than before. I had been reading in newspaper about the actions of the MMA government in NWFP. I thought Peshawar would be more strict than ever! Women moving around in Burqas( Veils ) and men with beards and stuff like that. But what I find is less women wearing the Burqa and more opting for just a chadar( a large piece of cloth) without covering there faces. There are new big shopping plaza here and there with all the latest stuff apart from the shopping centre claimed to be Pakistans biggest. And then the ever expanding Hayatabad commercial area! You can find anything there. Any product from around the world. Either smuggled or imported.
And MMA was calling Islamabad the " the city of obscenity" or something like that! I also visited one of my khala. And there I met her husbands father. Hes an old man and almost imediatly started to tell old stories from his life, complained about lots of stuff( crime, corruption, blah blah blah, in short form Pakistan) and a lot of other things. One thing I would like to mention is that he said that Afghanis were the most baighairat( anyone for translating that) of all nations. They can do anything for money! Even sell there wives and daughters for the night. I don't know why have I written this.
Personally I hate these fucking Afghanis from the start who are destroying this country even more and are a fucking burden upon this already fucked up country!
