If you ask somebody what does rough mean, then.. they might say.. errmm.. opposite of smooth some might say uneven surface.. and then ofcourse there are others who can relate to harsh.. but to gazillions of people (the less unfortunate ones out of the 7 bn ) rough means only one thing.. LIFE! for them just life itself is rough, nothing less nothing more!! Thank you Allah for all that you've blessed me with.

But ofcourse we were staying in hotels so cudnt really cook, but I made noodles, soups, chicken yakhni for him and ofcourse all sorts of sandwiches..tuna, chicken, cheese!! thats all I could do with my electric kettle!! But it was tremendous fun, honest! We mostly had pizzas and pasta, coffee and baguette!! :) loved the baguettes in Paris, and the pain au chocola!!

I could never forget,4th of July, we went to Sadus sisters wedding..everything was fine, no pain, no illness!!! we met lots of people.. people who to date can't believe u r gone! It was 5 am in the morning, just fajr!! when it shot up! the pain, that is.. from that day on it continued till 14 days! I can never forget! today as i woke up, i was reliving each of those moments, the fajr, the emergency ward, then the ICU.. i remember what clothes u wore, heck, i remember myself clad in the pink suit which we designed ourselves. it was the first day in my life when someone from my family was admitted in the hospital in front of my eyes! It was the first time i felt what millions of people sitting outside the gates of the ICU feel. And maybe it was the first time I realised I can't bear to part with you! I thought you'll be there forever.. I thought life doesnt stop in this world. Today is also the eve of 22nd Rajab.. the day we shif...

Besides that eating a bihari kabab roll and dahi puri under the chilly wind and dusky sky with ur soulmate is great!! I can never forget our mini picnic at Mamzar beach, with beach chairs sprawled .. slight drizzle to keep the flow, nihari and bihari kabab.. and us two!!!! :) mashaAllah!!...

Sometimes I get asked why do I love Karachi so much!! And I am at a loss of words with them!! How often can you tell people that the only reason sometimes someone needs to go to a city in a third world country is family n ties that bind you!! how often can you tell them that your mother resides in her grave there.. and how can you tell that you miss the misty smell of the mud on that grave.. that you know the one place which has the ability to absorb tears is that mud!!! that the only location that holds all those memories is there!! wish people understand!! as time nears by, I feel so excited.. Karachi i love you, and Karachi! I miss you! I miss those evenings, I miss those tea times that I had with my lives right in your centre!!!

Dheeray se yun tera meri zindagi mein aana.. achha laga.. sachha laga!! --------------- he never took her out!! all his trips to abroad were just his..she was too busy.. with kids. life and most of all his home!!! but all his packing was done by her! she did it from the needle to the trimmer.. it was her job.. and he was least bothered.. he was sure she'll put everything in and she did! but life changes.. as it always does.. sometimes at a time which we dont like!!! she had to go.. all of a sudden leaving behind everything for him.. today as he dragged his suitcase on the trolley little did anybody know what he was going through.. as i looked at him and his suitcase.. somehow i figured it out!it was sad and heart breaking... sometimes there is so much pain inside that u cant see it on the face.. u can just feel it.. ------------ a sad flash!

hey there people!! to all those who r reading... please leave behind a comment so that i know what i m writing is atleast being read!! hehehe anyways... so i just got some beautiful bangles from my better half! n they are gorgeous!! i am uploadin pics... i have always lved kanch ki chooriyaan.. :) i know, girly.. anyways.. back to the point.. not so much when i was teenage, but after that.. hehe.. mashaAllah my bangle box is now full. aur jab un mein se kuch kharaab ho jayein i feel like replacing that same colour again.. life is like a bangle box, u want all the colours and all the styles to make it attractive. and broken bangles spoil the look, same like in life.. broken relationships give an ugly look.. they only hurt u when u put them on, scratch ur arm.. and blood flows.. argh.. my hand the real one has often been scarred bc of bangles which break in the midst of puttin them on
