Ramzan


Its that time of the year again when I need to cleanse my soul of the unspeakable sins that I commit throughout the year and hang it out for drying :P well well.. Ramzan is here and I'm 10 fasts deep into it. So far so good. This is my daily schedule for 30 days where divinity becomes my second name :) morning starts early, I'm up at 4:00 a.m to have Sihori (breakfast during fasting) I walk around like a zombie, try to stuff myself with enough food and water to get me through the day. But when you're half asleep nothing else but sleep matters. Then I promptly fall asleep at 4:30 a.m. Much later with all the willpower in the world I drag myself out of bed at 7:15 to pray (its too late by this time to pray but I pray anyway.. Gee! ) and I g et ribbed by my parents for it. The rest of the day is a blur and just a long wait for the clock to strike 6. During the day I accompany friends for lunch and tea breaks which is a major test of endurance for me :( Finally the much awaited hour arrives and I go pray on my office terrace with the songs of a billion crows to keep me company, I don't know why on earth they choose that time to scream their lungs out. So, after prayer I have Iftari (snacks to break the fast = "Breakfast" :P ) Voila! Thats the end of one successful roza (fast) And thats how the story goes for the rest of the month. Oh, And I've already picked up an outrageously expensive outfit for eid... talk bout rewards in advance..

FUNGAMA 2008

Oh what a day I say.. Had the time of my life. The annual day out for EK employees and their families happened today at the VGP Beach resort. The last time I went there I was only a couple of feet high. Its actually a nice place contrary to what people think of it. Anyway this all day long event was total fun. I had my very enthu parents with me who were having ball of a time. And never in my wildest dream i imagined receiving an award for a sporting award. Yes truth is urindeed stranger than fiction. I actually won the runners up title for Women's Doubles in TT. God i was nearly in a fit of giggles when i went up on stage. and my partner was missing in action so i got not one but two awards haha.. joke of the century!!! ok and then there were games which I participated whenevr i got a fresh spurt of enthusiasm rest of the time i was jus sitting back and cooling my heels.. the show had its moments with some ridiculous things happening and some out-of-the-world Two colleagues crooned to munbe vaa n god i jus died there. That song just does something to me. Oh and did i forget to mention the most important thing?? FOOD of course.. quiet a scrumptious spread there. All in all a fantastic day. Now all I'm left with is memories and a mother of all headaches. Hope to write my next blog soon :D

First blog ever...

Blog blog blog... Its the "in" thing to do I suppose.. evryone seems to be doing it so i thought so should I. Cuz u see I've always been a follower and never a leader. This is my first one. And i have a strong feeling that i'm gonna suck at it big-time and are there any rules to blog anyway?
I've read the most brilliant of blogs in the history of my computer life. Some people say that their blogs are nothing but ramblings but hello... how in the world can ppl ramble so beautifully. They make the blog look like a piece of Literature. I'm wondering whether this will the only blog I'll ever post. Or will i be the blogger of the century or will I just be another one of the millions of bloggers around the world. I don know why evryone does this. Why would I want to let the whole world know about whats goin on in the evil little mind of mine? Anyway I think i'm bored already.. well well let's see if some inspirations strikes me and makes me go on and on about it. Until then I shall get back to the monotony of my life.. sigh...
