Karachi Goes Kool!!

Hmm.Karachi finally gets its share of the awesome monsoon rains.. hehe.. it has been drizzling on and off since quite a few days but the real showers came yesterday, and as I blog they continue heavily..

And the best thing is that on sunday afternoon my cousins the thirteen year old twinnies came over to spend the day.. :) so we had the best time yesterday in the rain, playing lots of carom, yes, age old tradition, then later after dinner we went out for a stroll as the downpour stopped, but as we were returning, lo n behold it started raining again..

and they are stayin here, so we'll inshaAllah enjoy even more.. since its still raining !!!!! :D

the only sad thing is that the cats feel bad they hate water, Mano was hiding in the lawn, and Mayna has gone off sumwhere, obv., without telling, came last night, but this morning she again went out..

Just bloggin this so that will have a good memoir later.. :D

EDIT: It rained so much so that at some places powers out, I still have power at our place fortunately!!! Mayna has returned, shukranlillah.. here...

I like playing carom... Its been years since I've played. :(

Rain is so pleasant *wub* I love being at home during a thunderstorm. I absolutely loveee thunderstorms!!! They are seriously the best.

You let your cats out, right? I hope they have collars with your address/phone number on them, just in case they wander off too far, like Kitty did :( Kitty would always take off his collar though... I'd always find it in the yard *sigh*

Yeah, I love rains, but not the still water puddles..

Mayna goes out at her will, she isn't bound, and she has no collars either.. :) btw, Mayna doesn't like going out much, so sometimes she goes off even for a week, but comes back somehow, luckily!!!

Are you trying to make us Dubai Dwellers jealous :D

There were overcast conditions for a few days and the whole city was buzzing with talk of rain.. the clouds came and went and we just wondered Why doesnt it rain here?

Lost!

"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...

I Try!!

Back with a new post!! I was cleaning my drawers today just to find some old memoirs, like the other day I found my slam book.. I keep on dwellin in the past! Today, I found my old report cards.. Nice comments, some nice grades too.. The one thing that really caught my attention was the printed poem at the back of each report card, "Try Again" which goes like 'Tis a lesson you should heed, Try again.. If at first you don't succeed, Try again.. which reminded me of my own poem, "I Try!!", I thought of puttin it up here, to save it.. Here goes; Over the mountains, Across the seven skies, Where I haven't ever been, Above tops too high, I try, To let my voice, Be heard by you, But I'll never know, If you heard my cry, I try, Hope against hope, That I'll find you, If not in this world, Then somewhere in the sky, I try, To be the person, You wish to see me, I'll never do the worst, And bid you good bye, And yet, I try. Wrote sometime in Apri...

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...
