Zindagi Gulzar Hai - A Karachiites review!

Just when I thought that this is the most boring Friday ever, my brain cells start working and I remember that the second episode of "Zindagi Gulzar Hai" must have been uploaded on youtube!!! :d

Each and every scene depicts the life of the typical Pakistani.. mother, father, daughter and son, in all conditions, when rich, and when poor.. when being the "haves" and when being the "have-nots"

Kashaf (one of my favourite names since eons) is from the middle-class...she aspires to study high and ease her mother of the hardships she has to go through to earn and feed, basically the bread winner instead of Kashaf's dad! Kashaf gives tutions.. something I think everybody educated must have done once in their lifetime when in Pakistan!! This is reality, depicted perfectly!! I started giving tutions when I finished metric! I wish they'd show those monstrous kids who come for tutions :P

When Kashaf is granted  admission through merit and she sees her name on the top of the merit list, I smile the same way she did!! hehehehe!! yes, mera naam bhi top of merit list pe tha, just that there was no Zaroon standing ahead of me!! :P and no one called me churayl!!

SO Kashaf comes home, and they eat mithai :D and I also get up and get the gulab-jamun my Mum(in law) has kept for me at the dining table .. this is the beautifully portrayed essence of the drama!! I also enjoy Kashafs admission virtually!!

Zaroon on the other hand is from the burger family.. the guy whose father has given him a Merc to drive to college(kashaf goes by bus) He doesnt have to earn to pay his fees.. Kashaf gives tution but manages to get scholarship... but the best thing is Zaroon is not the disgusting burger!!! He respects (so far)

The uni Zaroon and Kashaf go to, is the BEST!!!  Indus Valley!!! Dint we all aspire to go there!!! I did, it was bloody expensive!!! shucks!! atleast I can see it in the drama now!!

I have read the novel, Umera Ahmed writes brilliantly!!! I just wanna keep on watching Zindagiiiii gulzaaarr hayyyy!! :D

can't wait till the next weekend!!

Memoirs Reborn!!!

"Jiya, beta what do you think of this purple suit?," Zareena Begum asked her 18 year old Jiya. Jiya, who was busy ooh-ing and aah-ing at a mannequin drifted her her eyes away from the suit the mannequin wore to the purple sequinned suit her mother held in her hand. "Aww Mom, its awesome, btw, we never clash in our choices, do we??!!," Jiya replied immediately. And Zareena Begum beamed, "Still beta , its you who will be wearing it after marriage not me," she chuckled, and kissed her lovely and only child on the forehead. She was blessed, and Jiya thought she couldn't be more blessed. ****************************************************** "Jiya, did you try out that eye liner??," Zareena Begum was always worried about Jiya and her not so womanly ways. "Errmmm. No," Jiya hesitated. "But beta , you should try out, only one month left before I send you off to Asif's, what would Asif say??" "Mom, its easy..Asif?? he...

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...
