Sari duniya main bus ik tum say hee..
Ab mulaqat naheen ho paati..

Jo dharakti hay merey dil main kaheen..
Ik wohee baat naheen ho paati..

Jama karta hoon sar-e-chasham bohat..
Phir bhi barsaat naheen ho paati..

Sometimes being an introvert is useful, you save yourself from guaranteed embarrassments, but otherwise it just keeps getting on your nerves.

Maybe it’s not that bad for regular folks, but for me it’s very disturbing.. There are various things that I think I am not good at so I never try them, so I don’t even get to know if I was right about my assumption or not.

I always think and re-think and re-think over everything I do, and sometimes most of the time after all that thinking I just don’t feel like doing whatever I was thinking about.

There were times when, I wanted to say “oh just shutup”, but instead I smiled and quitely listened. But here is the twist, I don’t regret that. I think that was one of the best things that this introvert thing gave me.. it made me a person who can bear criticsm doesn’t matter if it’s positive or negative.

Appearances can be deceiving, I don’t remember where I read that.. but I realized that when I first analyzed myself. Most of the times when something is happening around me I appear totally unaware of it, but it’s not always true. At those times I am thinking, as I said above I am thinking and re-thinking about what should I do, what should I say and then I just won’t do or say whatever I was thinking about.

Sometimes I think I am thinking too much (I think I have said that before too..) <– see just like that, I keep thinking and re-thinking over what I said, what I will say and it just mess up everything.

Khair, I assume it has done more right then wrongs for me, so I am not really trying to change this, but I am trying to improve myself. I am trying to be more outspoken, more fluent while conversing..

It’s January 2009, I will re-visit this topic later in the year to see how well things are with my tries in this regard

We’d like to thank everyone – donors, volunteers, recruiters – who helped with our blood drive.

Unfortunately, we fell 51 pints short of our goal of 100 pints. However, the 49 pints of blood we did collect will help patients who need them. Although we didn’t reach our goal, we had 50% of first-time donors, and they usually become regular donors. And we’re confident that at the next drive, we’ll not only meet but exceed our drive goal. Please feel free to pass on any comments about the donation process to Salman Mehmood (03323080461).

In the end I am including our donors list here, maybe it will motivate others to donate blood next time

kion? kionke wohee behter hoga.. maire lye sab kelye.. per mujhay naheen lagta ke main ghalat sabit honga..

it will be very difficult.. but not impossible, but everyone of us would say after a few months “only if it hasn’t happened, only if it was avoidable”.. but today’s fact is it’s not avoidable.. it cannot be ignored..

I so wish that this is solved in a nice and comfortable manner.. but it’s hard to see how..

I thought if he was alive today he would’ve managed this without any problems.. this makes me feel more bad about this situation.. I can’t manage it myself.. I can’t control, I can’t confront. I have never been bothered by the “weak” feel that comes from inside whenever I have to see such issue but this might be the first issue that I have to manage myself and this weakening is unbearable.[/rant]

Thalassemia.Com.PK is a pretty static site and since it doesn’t offer any interaction or useful services it never looks like active, but we are working on a few stuff that will surely make it a handy and useful site for visitors from Pakistan at least.. I really love it’s design because I created it from top to bottom, it was my first and maybe last creation that is completely mine..! (except for the two images used in the header and few icons) Apart from the design, the complete website is built using PHP and mySql, it has lots of different scripts and alot more are under construction, I work on them in my leisure time.. right now you can find out stuff like research material, ways to support thalassemics and things, articles related to thalassemia and the website. Anyways, I will update this one as soon as we do some work on the website.. click thumbs, view full, the usual yada yada.
