Wonders of Power Blackouts!!

Hii.. Long time..

Okay, whenever I mean to input here, something goes wrong, and that something is most prolly the electricity... :(

Karachi is suffering as usual from the load shedding, unannounced that is..No schedules, no notices, no timings, to hell with routines..

So yesterday, I decided to watch T.V!!!! for a change, gathered my dinner plate and went to the room, switched on the T.V, found a perfect channel, and *click*..*pitch darkness*...what could I do now..there went my plan..sigh..

Anywho, power was on in some minutes though..what could be better I began reading a novel I bought myself, the best seller "To Kill a Mockingbird" Amazing stuff it is.. I soemtiems wonder if people like Atticus exist..or they do?? And cute kids like Scout, when the book began I thought Scout was a guy, it sure seemed so... but.. :d it is novel of kids, but I dont reckon its for kids..But, the war b/w the white n black continues even today..

Ok, so while reading the novel, *click* there goes my light and fan. Being the kind of person I am, I litted a candle, and continued reading.. :D Well, obviously my eyes got strained so I stopped, and then power turned on..

And last but not the least, when I finally went to sleep, *click* yet again..sighs, I tuned to FM.. my fave timepass at night, there was a good show on unseen love, does it exist or not, the callers had funny answers, and it was a lot of fun..It was all about wrong numbers, anon smses, emails and chatting. Even I can't grasp the part where people who interact via wrong number get themselves entangled in love, and ofcourse upon meeting, the snowman which they built, they themselves break it..Why continue a relationship without any grounds, without any stand.. Finally when the power was back at abt past 2 a.m. I really went to dream land..

Seriously, these are the wonders of power blackouts.. :D

Me I didn't like to kill a mockingbird. Only that one guy that drinks whisky out of his paper bag was cool.

Dude, everytime I tell people this, they are like "WHAT!?!?!?!" but honestly, I cannot get myself to read "To Kill a Mockingbird." I have tried many times, but always stop at chapter 3 or so. I honestly just can't do it. The book has bored me to death in the very beginning, can't imagine what the whole novel is like! :hijabi:

Sarah, the first few pages where Scout goes on about her grand dad made it seem as if the narrator was a guy and also much older.. Once you overcome the first few pages you are bound to be interested in the book!

I got past the first few pages. But the story just seems really uninteresting to me. I don't know... I really need to get hooked in the beginning or else!

"You must get these medicines, go down the road and you'll see the pharmacy, also get two syringes..Be quick, we don't have much time, she needs to be injected as soon as possible" Lil Karim nodded enthusiastically. He looked in the dirty pockets of his gray kurta , there was a folded handkerchief, he had tied rs 2000 carefully in a knot in that hanky. Just yesterday Maa had gotten her monthly pay. And here she was lying on a bed in the general ward of a gov't hospital. Is that what a person who works so hard as Maa get for a gift, when I was 5, and got admitted to school, Maa got me a big red ball, such a nice gift, and why did Maa get this?? Karim, though just merely 10 years old had thoughts deep and profound. He ran off, his dusty kurta flying in the air, the rubber chappal he wore were on the verge of tearing apart, but did that matter to Karim??.. Karim ran amidst the people, since he was just 10, not much big either, people weren't letting him go ah...

Its hot outside.. 34 degrees.. but I'm shivering.. In the past 11 years, not a night had passed when you werent thought about. Not one. Some nights though are harder than others. Sometimes I think deeper than I usually do and its then that it dawns upon me I am so friendless, you were my best friend. You still are, just not around me. Tonight I wish I could have a cup of tea with you Mom... with a baked samosa, or a mustard sauce n beef sandwich. Maybe we could go for a chaat, I drive now, we wouldnt have needed to go walking, not even in a rickshaw. Maybe we could sit in the garden once more, just maybe. We could have bought just one more book Mom.. I shunned books when you left, because you were my driving force behind them  After quite a few years, when I touched a book, I realised that you are more around.. I found my love for books again. Because you made me love books. I wish I could tell you about all the new books I have read..they are all thrillers eheheh but I gu...
