Me, my sisters, and my friends... Wow... all of us have been on a diet... and weight loss program for two months now. And now it seems that the weight is stuck... the needle on the weighing machine is not moving. Hence, after much deliberation... I have decided to go on a detox... to go on raw fruits and vegetable diet... for a week... Lets see if this helps..! :( :/ though the motivation is high... and offcourse, it looks good but dont know whether it wud really help or not.
So here it goes... wud try to keep a check on myself...and no cheating... And offcourse, I shud look fwd to looking great... and offcourse making others look stunned when they see a new me!! :S :D so yes, the diet is on.. lets see how many days can I survive...
Ohhh the fruits I got today are Peaches, Banana, and Falsay..! :D

Obsessions...
I know alot of ppl have alot of obsessions.. some are hoarders - they collect things... some have obsession with shoes, with movies.... with getting long hair... getting thin... and STRAIGHT HAIR!!! C'mon... I have had straight hair all my life.... and I have always died on my sister's hair, who has had weavy hair throughout my life... I have always died on her hair.. and she on mine... if I had the powers I wud have given her mine...and taken hers gladly...
But the point is...whats the obsession with STRAIGHT hair... I dont get it!! All u can do is wash them, brush them...and leave them the way they are... U cant blow dry them...bcoz it has no effect on the hair... U cant tie them in a pony...bcoz they look awful... and choti is absolutely so thin and annorexic... and u decide to just leave the way they are...!! Arrrrrggghhh....
but as for me... I have to say good bye to my sister's weavy hair... and say hello to the new her... and the new straight here...!!! :P I wud miss the days... when I used to spend hours on her hair...straightening it... blow drying it... putting hair gel and offcourse putting rollers in her hair.
I just wish her best of luck... and offcourse hope that she doesnt regret her decision!!! So over to you hair dresser...hope U do a great job... and later save time, energy and money on HAIR!!!

My Obsessions for the Year 2010
The year 2010 marks the end of the dacade... a dacade which started with a milenium bug, when everyone was concerned what's gonna happen? will the world survive another 10 years or not.
The year started with alot of things happening in both our personal lives and the professional lives. I wasnt sure what this year is going to bring, I initially thought its going to be same year as 2009, with the same friend's outings, nothing to worry... But my obsessions for the year 2010 changed considerably from 2009.
2009 was a year of facebook keeping in touch with friends... for me this year was all family and family concerns.
I remember on the new years eve I was out with my family... to go and have some dinner to any good dining place but everything was closed. We were strictly asked to stay at home and do nothing...but all we wanted was to go out and have dinner at some place... and all places were closed, we went to zamzama, and PECHS and tariq road...everything was shut down... BUMMER right?
Well, this year has changed me considerably and so has my thinking for life has changed. Taking one day at a time and not running after things... Jo hai so hai.... Jo nahin hai..so nahi hai... No point in running after... coming after the thought that jo hona hai... woh hoga... or jo nahin hona... wo hargis nahi hoga...
My ten obsessions for the year 2010:
1) Vampire Diaries - Ian Sommerhalder and the soundtrack of TVD - absolutely wonderful
2) Cooking and baking... finding new and innovative recipes online.. and making them... following instructions... taking laptop to the kitchen... almost everyday...
3) Tailors, stitching, designing clothes... not only buying expensive and branded clothes...but designing them...and making my tailor go crazy..
4) Blogging... hmmph... a little bit... I am still thinking of starting to blog my life... with pictures...almost everyday...making everyday a memorable day... I want to look back to my life as full of excitement though how boring it may be
5) Bigg Boss 4... and salman khan... following him on twitter..watching Bigg Boss 4... and becoming his fan... :D he is AWESOME and the only ROCK STAR!!!!! and finding out that he is a capricorn
6) heels... yes, this year I have bought many expensive heels... and have actually worn them to work... loved the change though
7) tang-pajamas... loved the idea of making tang-pajamas... I have always loved them... but was never sure whether I can actually wear them to work...but I not only stitched them but also worn them to work..
8) rings... everyday wearing almost 3 rings in my hands... :) I bought myself a peach pearl ring
9) taking pictures... thats been always "our thing" and sharing the lovely moments with my friends... :) :) :) and I am proud to be a click and upload type... :)
10) not running after people... yes, this year has been full of that...finally I have grown... I dont care about people who dont want to be in touch with me... no more of "lets make a plan to meet" :)
These are my obsessions for the year 2010.. and looking forward to another happening year of 2011... It would be great to be in touch with my friends... my obsession from Facebook is almost over... no more farmville...and too much of fb status updates... no more too much bugging of ppl on fb... getting over all of it... May be its part of growing up... and maturing... but loving it... :D :D :D

Summer Vacations
Ahhh well, for some people summer vacations has always been the time when they spend it away....going away to some exotic resorts, going to their native villages... whereas for us... it has always been spending the time in our home... and plz...not at all home bound... there has always been so much to do.. :) and full action packed..
The earliest summer vacations which I remember are from the early nineties... in UBL Flats... the days were spent playing school school, saib saib, chupan chupayee (hide n seek), tip top, cho cho... and so many other activities... and offcourse visit to the zoo...safari parks...and so many other places... :) and offcourse the picnics..
hahahahaha... and I remember the last few days, when we used to sit down and cover the copies with brown paper and plastic cover, naming/labeling the copies and completing the sixty days handwriting....both english and urdu... and the St Peter's van... so many good memories..
Moving ahead... the summer vacations were still action packed... the movies, the cousins coming over... playing different kind of games...the cycling around the area... and picnics ... and watching the movies... :)
Then, came the days... when we played... cricket, badminton, throw ball... U name it and we played it all... Ohh... I used to love playing with dolls...so hell yes, I used to spend most of my time making clothes for my dolls... designing them... and playing... the wedding of the dolls... Friends, Cousins coming over.. The cooking and baking at home... we made donuts, the methais, the halwas...and what not at home.. :)
Watching movies late night... and meetha parathas and blah blah... It used to be so much fun.. ;) The shopping sprees... going for shopping in Bus / Rikhshaws / Taxis... and the walks... the chit chatting...
Offcourse, the studies for O' Levels - studying and exercising... Giving tuitions to children... of all age groups...
The cooking and baking continued.... :) Growing up...and studying at Fast..the Summer Vacations were spent Interning at different MNCs... Jaldi bhaghna... travelling in buses and rikhshaws... Suits and shoe shopping... spending the stipend when the semester starts for books / clothes / shoes / CDs and other stuff... the Tuitions continued..
Well, this year... I wanted little flavour of the summer vacations which were spent at home...shopping / cooking / reading books / watching movies / sleeping... Cleaning... and offcourse Mummy's dants... "kamray se bahir awaz nahin ani chahiey" :) hehehhee... and I got all that... Just when I needed it most. Loved it!!!

Oh, I'm Alive!!
Yeah, thats a great feeling to have that yes, you are alive...!! and this day and the other too shall pass... the feelings may pass... These days I dunno I have a feeling that I havent achieved much... and there is a long way to go... and that I have slowed down... may be thats what the "butterflies in my stomach" are about.
Hmmmm... thinking of ways how to get rid of these feelings... the feeling of nothing-ness and sense of less or no achievement... I think thats a killer feeling... and may be this will give me motivation to do something and offcourse to get a few things done... :)

People in our life...
We live in this world... we socialize, we get to know strangers who are not connected to us directly... then, we make them friends and at times best friends..
Man is a social animal... we are always surrounded by people.... at times we are glad that we are connected to such people and at times we are scared of the people we are connected with. So it happens we also loathe a few people we get acquainted with... or are friends with...
For a person like me... who was never famous during school days... Never had a huge group of friends... I was never surrounded with friends...since I didnt had a "kewl" personality... *rolling my eyes* like I have it now... but still... I have managed to make a few friends in my life...
And offcourse I have friends for different situations... yes, I have this stupid differentiation... I refer to different ppl for different situations... when I need to share something, I share it with few exclusive friends... if I have to whine... I whine in front of different kind of ppl...who actually listen and give me advice.. When I need to take an advice I refer to different kind of people... when I have to bug... I bug to different kind of people...
and offcourse, a few friends have actually spoiled me... :( which is kinda sad... they have spoiled me to the limit that I actually miss doing a few things with them... :S and they dont know bcoz I never let them know how much they matter to me... :S :( :|
There are a few people with whom I got acquainted, befriended with them... and offcourse, then, they just backed off... and its kinda sad... they just vanished away from my life... no matter how much I try to understand what is it...which makes them run away from me..I find no reason... A few actually asked for a piece of my life... and I have given it to them...what more do they want??? Ore kia chahiey!!! :P Yeah Yeah... thats another story I never let them know how special they are in my life... but I have realized running after ppl do not make me a special friend / person in their life... :) hence, I am not gonna whine in front of them...or beg them... if they want to be an ass... so be it..!! :D I'd be a bigger ass than them... :D if they can show me attitude I can do the same with them... and offcourse, new ppl fill the gaps :) :) yeah yeah a few things wont be same in life... but so what... if they dont care then, why shud I care... I am not gonna run after them... :S :S No way...!!! :D :D :D :D :D
There are a few people in my life who really matter to me... :) and they, shall continue to play an important part in my life.. :) They are friends for life for me... :D
I think I have alot of whining and gloating... its enough for now...:)

Confused..
A state of "Confusion" is what I am not familiar with... I always know what I want and how I want it... I am always dead sure about things... and even if I am confused I dont let ppl know whats happening inside my brain... not many ppl get to sneak peak into my brain... and I am hating it...Arrrggggghhh... how difficult it is for me to understand that life is full of ppl, who just think of themselves...and who dont even care what would others think...and who are mean...
Yes, I am still not going to run after things... I am happy... and I am content... but the feeling of comparison... comparing myself to others... Hate it...!! HATE IT!!! and DETEST IT!!! I am not saying that I am the best... but I want ppl to let me know what are my deficiencies...and where I can improve myself... Even though I know it will be hard for me to understand and yet again to digest it...but I promise to be civil... Let me know...!!
And what I get to hear is..."Please, dont discuss it with ur fellow friends"!! Really..!!??? I dont think so... its not that good as I hoped it would be..!!
I know what I need... I need sweetness overload... and want to cheer for others... and bring a smile on my face and on others tooo... :) There will be another year...I'd shine some other day... I will have it some other time... I am far too young for all this... and I have a loooonnnggg way to go...!! And I have yet to learn alot of things... I have to go FAR... and offcourse these stupid ppl cannot make me feel less of myself... I am a self-motivated person... and to hell with everyone... I know what I have to do...!!!
Life is hard... working is even more hard... and giving "guys" a tough time is also hard...and I know I can do it!!! :P :D
So no more hard feelings... no more of the dread... :) I shall live... and let them live in peace till next year!!
