A Little Bit Of Shelley ...

TO -------

One word is too often profaned
For me to profane it,
One feeling too falsely disdained
For thee to disdain it.
One hope is too like despair
For prudence to smother,
And pity from thee more dear
Than that from another.

I can give not what men call love,
But wilt thou accept not
The worship the heart lifts above
And the Heavens reject not,
The desire of the moth for the star
Of the night for the morrow,
The devotion to something afar
From the sphere of our sorrow?

Heard a firangi asking a girl in the headoffice lounge why the admission officer (what do you call those people who give out admissions in schools ???) was so late and the girl replied giggling "it's Pakistan! It's normal here" . Gosh I was soooo angry . My patriotism woke up and was extremely offended and I had to hold back the reins real tight not to give the stupid girl a good telling-off .

Went to get a tricycle for my son . Found a really nice looking made in pakistan one . Bought it, brought it home, he played for 5 minutes on it ... no rough play, just sitting nicely on it and noticed the gum holding the lights onto the cycle peeling off, the front handles almost coming off, the horn wouldn't blow .... Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .... kab tak aakher ... kab tak sabbar karoon ....... YES IT IS PAKISTAN, THIS IS NORMAL HERE ! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

With Apologies To The Sikh Community ... Here Is Another One

A Sikh hears too many jokes about stupid sikhs ... feeling annoyed he calls a meeting of all his community . He asks them who was making all the jokes ... someone tells him it's a guy called Richard living in New York . He goes to NY, finds Richard and asks him was it really him making all the stupid sikh jokes and if he doesn't give a satisfactory answer he was gonna kill him . Richard tries to deny in the beginning but then he admits to being the culprit ... he tells the sikh he could kill him if he answered one of his questions . Sikh agrees . Richard asks, there are 3 people living in my flat ; my mother, my wife and who is the third . The Sikh thinks and thinks but can't answer ... tells Richard he won't kill him but he has to tell him the answer . Richard gives the answer ... pointing to himself he says, "Third person is Richard".

Sikh goes back to Amritsar ... tells his relatives he fa
iled to kill Richard because he asked him a very difficult question that he couldn't answer but if they answered it right he would go back to NY and kill him . They ask him the question . He repeats it ... noone is able to answer it . They ask him and he replies, "My wife, my mother and (pointing to himself) Richard ! "

Been trying to hibernate lately but this "zaalim samaj" (cruel society) won't let me . I wish I lived in a multi-storey building and then i could go "Up on A Roof" and be happy for a while . Not that I am not happy ... just that I need some time to myself , without any mundane thoughts . I don't want to think about the latest insult hubbie hurled at me, how I am going to survive the rest of the month in whatever money I have got left, what to wear to school next day, will I ever be a "normal" person again ... and blah blah . Past 3 years since I have been married it's been drilled so much into my head that I am some looney from Mars or some place even worse that i ahve literally started believing it . I just can't do anything right and worse still I accept it that way . Ugh ... why am I whining again ???

At the moment all I want from life is enough money to buy an iPod ... seriously ! I love my music and I take it very serious ... it's one thing that has been my saviour at times when I have just given up hope . Hubbie doesn't like my choice of music ... he is more into Beethoven, Chopin etc while I can't stand those though I do like Yanni and Kenny G . I listen to anything from "Yay Raat Bheegi Bheegi" to "Babu Ji Zara Dheere Chalo", from "Hollaback Girl" to "I Have Had The Time Of My Life" .

Okey I admit this is a lousy post ... can't help it ... am in a lousy mood .

I didn't have access to the net past few days ... wanted to put up a special post on the 19th of Jan for zaksie ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY pal .................. :p

what nonsense

It's 1 am and i can't sleep . firstly i went to bed feeling hungry but stubbornly refusing to believe it . After an hour of tossing and turning in bed i get my lazy b*** out of the bed . problem now was it's raining outside, the way to the ki9tchen is through a huge empty place with a tin roof and no glass in the windows ... had to grope around in the dark looking for something warm to put on ... bumped into my son's squelchy rubber duck, stepped on his plastic spiderman (and that hurt), stumbled over an empty water bottle and finally found my hubbie's coat . Went out, made myself my most favourite midnight meal fried eggs and cold, staling bread (YUCK) and came out into the tv lounge (doesn't that sound like a lovely name for a 4 by 4 cell with a tv and a pc in it and a heater that won't even burn a polyester sock) . Anyways, here I am rambling on about nothing at all . I can't even think of a decent song to hum to myself ... all I can think of is Ladki Hai Ya Chhadi Hai Pattakhey Ki Lari Hai Shola Hai Phuljari Hai ........... :(((

Things were pretty tense past 36 hours but are okey now ... won't go into details but I assure you once I get enough money in my hands I will never ever return to this place again or to these people ... will take my son and disappear somewhere where I can start anew .......... :((((

Bought my son 2 books from Saeed Book Bank in Isloo ... these people are soooo expensive ... could have hopped over to the old book shop oppositte but since SBB started off from Peshawar so I have a soft spot for the place .... anyway so why am I whining ? Hmmm .... yeah bought a spiderman coloring book that he wouldn't put back on the shelf since he loves the stupid character and another is a book specially for toddlers . It's about a piglet that won't eat and says YUK to everything . Tell me people is it right to try and teach my on through a book with a pig as the main character .... you guys know what our religion thinks of the animal !

Enough ................ have to wake up for school in the morning .... better get going ... the beautiful teacher with the pretty earrings is sitting here in her red satin pj's that she asked her cousin to bring thinking she might look like Madhuri (that's the highest I can aim for) but obviously my hair are a mess, I don't have any make up on and the zits are coming on like anything thanks to all the gurr (that sweet stuff made in villages out of sugar cane and dry fruits) I have been hogging on .

AHHHHHHHHHH ........ TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY ........ BECAUSE I AM WORTH IT ...... AND BECAUSE IN THIS CASE BEAUTY IS MORE THAN SkIN DEEP ............ YAWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN .......

Modest = Moi ??? Naaaaaaaaaaaa

This is for all you people out there who wonder why I call myself "Beautiful" Stranger . No rooms left for no doubts no more ... He he ha haa HAAAAA ... (ofcourse a student wrote his for her lovely marm khe khe )

Teaching Can Be Fun :D

I have scanned a creative writing essay the kids gave me yesterday . Had a hard time not squealing with laughter in class. Tried my best to stop myself but I just had to share it with all . ENJOY ;)

what's cookin' ?

6th day cook has been on a sick leave . Been feeding my hubbie leftovers from 2 weeks back . They have finally started smelling too bad for me to cover it up by adding corriander leaves and the likes . Okey dorks it means I have been cooking today ... boo hoo . Half asleep, half awake asked the driver to bring a mixtuire of stuff that I had absolutely no clue what I was going to do with . Ended up with brinjals, cauliflower and lots of onions . Now what do I do with them ? Hmmm ... had some potatos at home . Fried them, took them out and put them aside, fried the cauliflower and put it aside, fried onions, added salt, red pepper and gravy/curry masala to it ... that'snot the end ... found some soya sauce and tomato ketchup and added that as well ... after a while added back the fried vegetables, some tomatos and green peppers . It's done, but don't know how it tastes . Luckily hubbie has very weak tatse buds or he is extremely patien so I know he will eat it and also praise it . As for myself, I HATE CAULIFLOWER ... and I also don't have the traditional (read as healthy) lunch/dinner . Will probably eat a candy toast .

Son has a cough and a fever . Drpak what is better, Velosef or Ventolin ?

Ho ho ha ha HA

No Star Plus since one week ... Oxygen PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE ... I can't live without the saas bahu soaps ... what is Tulsi Auntie doing ... Is Nandini in Jail ... what is Mohini plotting next ... ?!?! Boo HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ... I HATE PM ... the creep . :(

There is a real beyblade revolution going on ... more than 70% wrote they were thinking about it and Didgimon and stuff . The girls were all thinking of eid and what to wear . A few were really nice even beyong my expectations . A couple were funny ... one kid wrote about my son ... it was hilarious ... :D:D:D

The new medication is making me eat like a horse ... I haven't eaten so much in a long long while . I am putting on weight ... I just hope the cravings for sweets stop soon or I am gonna get fat . but as an auntie tells me all the time ... khoobsurat logon ko farq nahin parta (beautiful people don't get affected by such things) ... ;) Hehehehe .

Bujjhi bujjhi raaton mein jaane kab tak
Bethi rahoon gi tere intezaar mein

Tassawur mein tujh se hum kalam ho jaati thi
Par ab to ..........................
