More

The word more has a life of its own. it just keeps on going and going and going. we get born, we play with shapes and learn the alphabet, we attend nursery school, high school, college, university, marriage and then a happily after life. at least thats the "norm" of it all. so is the case with more. we start fresh. we think of something and want it as a desire of human nature. by hook or by crook we achieve it. we want more. it just keeps feeding on human need for that "extra" thing, that extra amount of french fries, that extra time that we can get on our exams, that extra amount money for leisure spending and that extra amount time to lounge around infront of a tv watching your favorite show eating pop corn with tang with a speical someone. we will always want more. we will always need more. we will always desire more.

Choices

Everybody has the option of choices in their lives. whether it be as simple as choosing between black or white or whether it be between right or wrong. we face choices everyday of our lives. some actions we tend to prioritize in our lives while others we subdue as its "not convenient" according to our standings. thats the irony. i wonder how many of us would chose the right choice over an easy choice. how difficult is it to really arbitrate a conflict? these are a few of the major choices that we seek to overcome in our daily lives. nobody says choices are easy. even if we know the answer to the choices, it still makes our lives difficult to actually get up and make a choice. i think the most effective way of getting out of choices is by saying... "upto you". as simple as a question of where do you want to go eat today causes enough tension in choices for almost all karachites. i think there should be a rule book as to what and how you have to make a choice and then hopefully things will get smoother for the process of choosing.

Together

I guess people would look at together as a relationship between two people but then they would tend to get stuck at that very two people. i think when together is felt, the relationship comes out between any two people with respect to one. this broadens the horizons of the term we so casually term as together... "being together", hand in hand but its essence is lost when we coin it to two particular people. of course its also the word that brings out a smile to every face as that very thought takes us to that special someone whoever he or she might be out there.

at the same time, together speaks about commitment from one person to another. somehow we take this term in such an unruffled manner, that we loose the charm in the whole idea of a commitment and being together. ironical isn't it that what we want the most which brings us total and utter satisfaction and happiness in life is the very thing we take for granted and dont pay two hoots about it.

Simple Pleasures

Its always good to get the simple pleasures out of things that really fascinate you. For me, watching a helium balloon go up in the sky and vanish before my eyes, eating a gola ganda from dhoragi, sitting by the beach observing people and hearing the calm sea, chatting, movies, dancing, hanging out with friends over a hooka are all small pleasures that we derive everyday. We all look for energies to replenish our days in some way or another whether it be actively or passively. Someone plays the guitar, someone flips thru magazines to find inspirations, some read, some watch passive television, flying a kite, sitting on roof top watching stars, talking endlessly with friends or cared ones, taking out time to find out about another person, entering competitions, taking part in dramas or plays, sports.... something or another. Yet at the same time we indulge in materialistic things as somehow we perceive that our indulgence in them will bring us satisfaction whereas the truth is that we feel the best when someone else passes a genuine smile. I wonder. Are we looking for simple pleasures in life or are we really caught up in this materialistic environment where we do things for the sake of doing things or rather we go out on the road for a careless drive and just drive and drive and driveeeeeeeeeee..... in search of the simple pleasures in life.

Aspirations

big word eh... i think so too... do we aspire? i think i do. aspire for what? oh let me guess.... my norm aspirations would include a big house, lots of cars, too much wealth and lounging around. but what does one aspire in reality? is it the material things they are looking for or the attainment of a peace of mind in any which way that it comes your way? i think its the balance that everyone i seeking deep inside... no there is no particular level or measure which would be considered the balance or the middle scale but rather differs from person to person. i think its that "mayana ravi" that each of us looks for even though we are content to the bone. yes we dont show it, yes we might not say it, but i know for sure i definitely feel it. you might turn around and ask me what the hell am i talking about.... but i think im making sense in a very funny way. you know the things, you understand them, you hear them, acknowledge them but when it comes down to putting them to a practical use, we just loose focus and hither and thither from place to place and from person to person in search of the true answer to solve all our problems in life with a blow of a swift wind that passes you by feeling lighter than ever which subconsciously blows away the small little "problem chips" of our shoulders one at a time. we all are in search of that place where the wind blows continually but unfortunately are confronted with traffic of all sorts, internal and external, that just keeps us in that stationary place not allowing us to move forward in any way. i think aspirations are good. no wait... i think aspirations are beautiful. in some funny way i think they are linked to hope. to that Shawshank Redemption would say... "hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. and good things never die."

Marketing

dont you just hate it when you meet people who can talk to you in marketing jargon and seem all knowledgeable about the stuff that they are talking about and seem the "all well informed" people but in reality if you ask them what the hell they are talking about... its like they cant explain even the simplist of ideas and convey the message across to the other person. how sad is that... i dont ever want to be a person who talks in technical jargon... i guess its just not me.

First Ever Abstract

yah yah i know... it took me a long time and lots of dedication to actually come up with utter and complete nonsense... but i like it.

Hobbies

its interesting to note that while people generally refer to hobbies as something that one does which he or she likes, it also is a good and i think one of the most amazing venting off techniques that i have observed for some time. they not only have the ability to calm you on the outside but also to soothe you from within and put you in a place never gone before, every time without fail... to a place far far away from this realm into a place where all of one's aspirations of "going to that place where i dont know anyone or anything... to run away in the mind, body and soul and run to that very special place where things are indifferent". how amazing must it be to have a hobby/passion like that that you can acutally indulge in it... but i guess its one of those things that has been nurtured from childhood and somethings even though you want to learn or adapt, becomes very difficult for you to ascertain. haiii.... i wish i had more hobbies.
