Dear Diary – 2nd Sep, 2009

No Comments

I realized I have not posted anything from a long time.. not even a random quickie.. not that anyone reads it.. but it’s fun to write. It feel’s good when I express myself.

When I clicked “New Post” I had no idea what I am going to write about, I have no clue right now as well. So I guess I’ll tell you about my routine these days, yeah? You like that eh? You have a curious stalker somewhere inside you.

Oh well.

It’s a very busy life. I wake up at a fixed time, I work for 14-16 hours (yes don’t give me lecture, I know it’s a lot), and then I sleep at the fixed time for fixed amount of hours. mundane. boring. I wish life had the option of saving and running macros. or something like a Super remote control (like in the movie Click). That’s all about my routine. I would ask you ‘what’s up with you’ but I don’t want to stop writing/typing right now. so I will continue, you can tell me your routine later in the comments.

I don’t know if you have read about SeeNReport (pvt) Ltd. getting series A VC funding, I think it’s really cool, and I congratulate them and wish them best of luck. You can read more about it here.

I think @byteconnector’s poetry is cool, and I think technotwoet.com will rock.

(yes, I am just randomly writing things I find/found rather interesting.)

One thing that’s constantly bugging me right now is the light yellow/cream colored line on this page which is tempting me to upgrade and try out wp 2.8.4 ;p.

When guardian makes a mistake and adds “afghanistan” in a url of a story related to Pakistan, it’s somehow Pakistan’s fail :lol: . IMO it’s a fail fail. *as always* :lol:

Did I tell you I have changed my default browser? I now use Firefox just when I want to use Firebug. Except for that I am always on Google Chrome. It’s fast. (Yes, I know you have heard it before ;d)

Just activated a new theme. I don’t change themes very often. But this one looks pretty cool ;d

These days when I am not working (rarely, before or after work-hours or on weekends) I try to get some time for games and browsing-around randomly. Have started playing NFS Undercover. Pretty neat. But a bit weird in the sense that it allows you to roam freely, but blocks the short-cuts when you are actually in a race. I love the cars they have offered though, From Pagani Zonda to Volkswagon :d.

While chatting with Saad’s Junni-Darling on msn we talked about one very old game ‘Cadillacs & Dinosaurs‘ that we used to play at “five-star-game-ki-dukaan” (5 Star Game Shop, desi gaming arena :P ). We have wasted so many tokens on that game. I found it at torrents and played it myself, now Hammad and Ibrahim play that. (they have finished it as well). Looking for more classics like that one, I found ‘Golden Axe‘ Triology. We used to play that for hours. I don’t like it anymore though.

I also tried “Worms Armageddon” pretty cool game. Trying to find “lemmings” now and will also try “Pro Evolution Soccer ‘09″.

One interesting fact about this post is that I started it at around Sehri (Sunrise), and right now am having kachori and mithai in Aftaar (Sunset) . heh.

Just updated an old post: “Blood Camp, YPP, or main..“.

While I was writing this post Gmail went down and came up again as well.. I didn’t even notice the downtime. I find it quite interesting that it was such a widespread issue that almost all of the slots in Google trends were taken by queries related to Google downtime. Never saw something like that. (Read it on mashable btw, that’s not my original finding).

These days I don’t feel like using twitter or facebook. I am even thinking (once again) about dropping off the social scene by comitting a social suicide. Let’s see if I really do do that.

Oh well, let’s finish this post. I will write again tomorrow if I feel like it.

شائد ہر انسان کی زندگی میں کبھی نا کبھی ایک وقت ایسا آتا ہے، جب اُسّے احساس ہوتا ہے کہ اسکی یادّاشت میں موجود سینکڑوں چہروں میں سے ایک چہرہ ایسا بھی ہے جو اس کو بند آنکھوں سے بھی نظر آتا ہے۔ جو اسوقت بھی قریب نظر آتا ہے جب وہ چہرہ درحقیقت اس سے دور ہو۔ ایک چہرہ جو اسکی گہری نیند کی تاریکی کو بھی چیر کے خوابوں کے پردے پر نظر آتا ہے۔

کچھ لوگوں کی خواہش ہوتی ہے کہ یہ چہرہ آنکھہ کھولنے پر بھی ان کے سامنے ہو۔ ان کے نذدیک ہو۔ اور انہیں اتنی ہی محبت سے دیکھہ رہا ہو جتنی محبت سے وہ اس چہرے کے بارے میں سوچ رہے تھے۔

اِس کے برعکس کچھ لوگ ایسے بھی ہیں جن کے لئے سب سے اہم بس یہ ہوتا ہے کہ یہ چہرہ  جہاں بھی ہو، ان کے پاس ان سے دور، نیند میں ہو یا بیدار، بس خوش ہو۔ بہت خوش ہو۔ اس سے زیادہ نہ تو وہ کچھہ چاہتے ہیں، نا ہی اس سے زیادہ کی کبھی دعا کرتے ہیں۔

مجھے نہیں پتا کے ان دونوں میں سے کون سے لوگ زیادہ بہتر ہیں، وہ جو بس اس چہرے کو خوش دیکھنا چاہتے ہیں، یا وہ جو اس چہرے کو صرف اپنے ساتھہ خوش دیکھنا چاہتے ہیں۔

آپ کیا کہتے ہیں؟

Random rant..

[rant]I knew ke aisa hee hoga.. per shayad main khud bhi yaheeh chahta tha ke aisay na ho.. main chahta tha ke is baar main ghalat sabit hoon.. aur main abhi bhi chahta hoon ke meri intuitions ghalat sabit hoon..

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]
