so here i am, awake! went to sleep around 9 pm like a good little kid and as a result, am awake at 2. the machar's are making life hell, mortein coils don't seem to be doing the trick. madiha is on the phone/msnger/wrking on an assignment (a multi-tasker, if i've ever met one!).

khokha seems highly tempting, naureen is asleep, can't seem to get the bandee from the exorcist out of my head, don't think i can walk to khokha alone.

so am writing, feeling like shit! sleepy, bitten all over, hungry, bad headache - the works...
will go and bug someone, maybe someone will have a solution, cant' think too well myself, am that tired!

sarri of the day...

**near the khirkee's outside the store**

person # 1: oye, it's raining!
person # 2: no, no - dude, we're so hot that God had to turn the sprinklers on!

:D

nobody would think a tv show could make one so emotional, yet thats exactly what F.R.I.E.N.D.S does. everytime i watch the show, or show that features the cast, i'm instantly reminded of all the times we've sat in the dorms, waiting for the new episode to come out.
me and naureen, copying them onto the pc - screaming when it wouldn't - with our food by our sides...seems like light years ago...
anyway - summary: miss the show, boo hoo! :D

khekhekhe - chk this out...
funniest thing i've seen all day...

yay!! got to sleep last night! ...
weird day today - had fun though. sometimes weirdness makes a day more interesting - u never know what you'll run into...

umm...very eventful day (in a completely weird way) ...

met some old "friends" from school! hmm...weird! anyway - lcp applications were posted on @.net ... am worried! very normal...

student council campaigning under way...that too is going really weirdly...

am going home this weekend - finally, some time to myself..!! cant wait to meet api and zainab!!

ever felt like running around, with arms wide open, swishing a dupatta through the air while listening to the song "aao naa" from that nameless movie that had ash/vivek in it?

or is it just me? :-O

am still up...

urrrgh! am still up - jst cant seem to sleep..might as well get some work done

seems like any lallu-panju concert can be fun as long as you have friends around you, and apparently ali zafar is much better then just lallu-panju :)
admitted that the music wasn't live, but the guy knows how to sing - plus he has stage presence (whatever that is :D) ... sang some oldies which none of my rock loving friends knew about, but had fun overall..

random thoughts, random songs...haven't been able to sleep all night - once again! think i need to find a solution...getting irritating..

have the LCP application due today - have been workng on that...atleast some good came out of me staying awake..also have math queezzz...am prepared...almost! yay!! got a 9.5 in the 1st one...stupid mistake thee...

also have stall for t-shirts up again...hope we hit 200..

aur kuch...not thinking soo!!

is the ali zafar concert worth even going to? jst stole the pass madiha had claimed (no, no - it's minee!!) ... she being in isloo won't be able to make it to concert ... i should feel less guilty (stupid conscience)

If suddenly someone were to rush up to you

And say "Hey, I know your face."

Would you shy away or embrace your past

With arms spread-eagled and a cup of coffee?

It gets lonely here in the letter-bin

Dark and smelly at times,

But mostly

Lonely

Bordering on insanity

A pinch of salt

A chance of rain

A deck of cards

A cigarette

But nothing more.

Unless, dear me,

But-of-course!

Arms are spread-eagled, coffees are shared

In cups that are destined to empty,

(Fill with ash, perhaps, if the night draws long

And old habits are resurrected).

Unless bottles are popped, a whole lot else

Champagne is served, sir, until further notice

You may now blow your cosmic bubbles and screw the cat.

(She's contemplating never coming back again).

But when the ice shoots out

Like frozen mushrooms

And the tin roof becomes more than just hot,

When colours bleed into one another

And cocoa is strewn in angry puddles,

You know the cat's gone without being screwed.

2008...

the freshie's are a great lot...very fun! much much better then the 2007's... :)

had an interesting time on the ride to the "sutta" place...thanks ehsan - u da best! coincidentally, am listening to "cold dead night" ... :)




just a random thought

lums chronicles...

got the feeling from the few people i talked to that maybe my "honest criticism" in the lums chronicles hadn't gone down well with the musicians...

just wanted to clarify, i had a great time at the concert...however, it could've been much better!! i mean, i know you guys, i've been hearing your jams almost every day since lumun - so i was a little pissed off at circumstances. but i'll be there, front and centre at the next concert too. please feel free to comment though :)

btw, another clarification for those who wonder - i'm not a groupie and have no desires to be one, coz, "groupie's are sluts - they sleep with the band!" :D

bye boys :P

my sharona...

have actually managed to stay up all night yet achieve nothing - in an effort to feel "more" cool, i went to the khokha (i DID do something on saturday night!)

came back, wasted some time and am now trying to figure out how accurately the "boys" played "my sharona" at the welcome...!!

anyone need any jars of beads counted??

..

am still working on @ application - need to do a quick khokha run though. sorely missing naureen...no one to talk to on the long walk there...

save tonight...

am unusually happy tonight. have spent the last 5+ hours on the same website, updating blogs. on a saturday night no less!! what a sad existence!!

chulu bhar pani main doob mar nida rasheed!

anyway...song of the day (or atleast the last 5 hours) has been...

gobbeldygookdibblydoofoo!!

"adieu" is such a strange word isn't it...wonder what they were thinking when they came up with it! anyway - it's that time again, when the seniors have to be given the "farewell" (another weird name since they're still around for atleast another month afterwards). a rather sad (if you really think about it) occasion.

i, for one, am really going to miss this batch. not just because they had all the hot(!) men or because they made the best TA's...but more because they - despite the raggings, bullyings, dissings - were there through it all: the bad bad grades, heartbreaks, planning welcomes/farewells, studying for exams, writing papers, moving in and out of hostels, always with a smile and a smart idea to share

i'll also miss these guys because with their leaving lums, 2006 will become the seniors, and we'll be expected to fill their shoes. big shoes to fill me thinks... you're wondering, why? well, the 2003's were the kings!, why? because they had some the best sportsmen (i'be heard), musicians, students. the 2004's were great coz they just seemed to be fun, always playing patta's, smoking, playing volleyball. but the 2005's: they have the brains, and the extra curriculars, but add to that the fact that they are jst great ppl to hang out with. though i wonder if every batch feels that way about the batch ahead of 'em...

so - a couple of months, and we'll be seniors! seniors...with three batches behind us expecting greatness...i wonder how that'll feel...

PDC InFest

it finally happened - the most looked forward to concert (atleast as far as my "boys" were concerned!). having hashed all the details out everyday for as far back as i can remember (a couple of months - at the very least!!) the guys were very confident about how it would go. after all, the song list had been chosen, corrected, finalized, re-corrected and re-finalized...the venue had been examined. arguements about who would stand on which step had been had, i had put in my two bits about how "there should be no stage!" and it seemed like the "the red chaddis" (lol!) were all set to rock the campus!!

so what went wrong? well - for one, the "pdc" InFest it wasn't the venue having been shifted at the last minute, the light wala had his issues, the machars (the non-human variety, of course) had unfortunately decided the football field was THE place to hang out, the moozeek society admin was supposedly PMSing and the band - well, wasn't very "bonded" to say the very least - and as a result of all the above everyone went back wondering what happened to the "rocking" bit...

still - the boys did what they always do, they hashed the concert out - for days! and i am assuming that they learnt from their mistakes...after all, they are the future of the society, 8 of the best musicians at lums and very responsible adults (and in ammar freshie's case, very smart ones!) btw, whats this i hear about locking up the music room and throwing away the key! doh!

anyway - some pics of the band (and "groupies") from the day had been posted, but have been removed. will try and get them up soon in a photoblog :D
