My Life

1st November, a slow winter morning, the change of time thing made me wake up early as I’m confused as what time it really is. Is this the purana time now? Or what we had till yesterday shall now be considered as purana time? So confusing… Apparently for no reason I kinda look forward to this winter…

Life’s going pretty well… Started off with PakWheels.com dealers program last week and I’m enjoying that work, may be because its related to cars and cars have been a passion ever since… Even got the mood to write a few lines of my book too last week, so I’m happy about that too…

Oh! A funny dream I had last week, i.e. I’m getting married… not funny, right? Funny part is, I’m getting married forcefully… hehehe… Actually it’s so I’m sitting in front of Moulana for Nikkah and my bro & bro in law are sitting on both sides, every time I try to run away, they both grab me by arms. I woke up trying to run… so that was quite an effort. LOL

Comments of family when the dream was shared,

Mom “I also had a similar dream”
Bhena “Bakrey ki maa kub tak khair manaye gi?”
Sabah “Beta! Eventually this is what will happen to you”
Mona “See? That’s a warning, now either you agree or that’s going to happen”
Aisha “This is a signal that something is about to happen”

Anyways… That was for all of you to have a good laugh and I hope you enjoyed it as much as me & my family did.

What else? Oh yea, I’ve oneness core group meet-up in few hours and after that, err… I want to do something but confused if I should or shouldn’t :-s let’s see…

What else? Ummm… I guess that’s about it…

Is the Moment REALLY Now? / I CAN write

I & Annie went out to discuss my book last Sunday, it was one of the most fun Sundays in years… Now the way she was working on my book was pretty impressive… like as if she knew it all as how its going to be & stuff, frankly speaking after looking at her work I was more like asking myself if I can do this? She was impressive, I saw her writing for the first time… You know, whatever I write is about some personal experiences… Now with this book it’s more like making stuff on my own, thinking of a story…

Anyways… I at a lot of times see the digit 19 flashing next to my drafts folder of gmail. Trust me I’ve no clue what those 19 unsent emails are… hehehe… Anyways, today I thought to take a look.

Funny how our preferences change with time, I made this gmail account about 4 yrs back I guess and in these 4 years I’ve changed… A LOT… now I’m thankful to God for not sending those drafted emails to the recipients they were meant for, because if I had, it would’ve been so so so stupid… lol… Stuff I used to consider so cool back then appears so silly now… Funny all I want now is X but in 5 years from today when I’ll have X or Y may be, I’ll think of myself as silly for wanting X back then… So is the moment really NOW? Or is there more to it? May be if I get what I want today then it wont appear silly after 5 years because I’ll be content for having what I will have then.

Then I came across this email where I had actually bothered writing a subject, and that subject reminded me about a song that I used to have, I thought it was that song which I don’t have on me anymore so I opened that email wanting to download that song…

Turns out, that was this one unpublished story which I wrote a few years back, it was like a complete story that I came up with, from start to the end… I don’t remember why & when I attached that into an email & then saved it there… I didn’t even remember writing that story… I don’t think I even discussed or showed that particular thing to anyone… and compared to that, the work that I’ve done on this book of mine? Its absolutely great…

So going back to that drafts folder & finding that piece of writing gave me a new level of confidence, now I know I did it back then and am doing A LOT better now… means I can do it for sure… Plus now I’ve Annie helping me on that… InshAllah that book for sure will be better & great…

Confident Puri Sahib knows it all

Good Mood!

I'm playing the following track on repeat for over 2 hours now...

"You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak,
But if you feel like I feel,
Please let me know that it's real.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby.
Let me love you.

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay..
And let me love you, baby.
Let me love you.

I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby.
Let me love you."

How often do you come across a situation when things that matter more to you are not going in the direction you want them to go but there are other less important things which are going in the direction which is beneficial for you and because of those less important things you’re able to over look the more important ones and feel happy about the ones which you’re getting?

I normally don’t feel this way… So yes I’m in an exceptionally good mood tonight… The week on the whole was good, oneness brunch tomorrow after a gap of few weeks, those small things, small gestures made by some random people to recognize your efforts are very motivational. So even if after those small things, something BIG and more important goes as you don’t want it to… You don’t get ticked off like you would normally… Okay now Mona (my elder sis in KSA) is bugging me on IM, so let me talk to her, I’ll be back in a bit…

Rumaisa (http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/album.php?aid=62363&id=504055961&op=12) is going to have her Tonsils removed on 6th Oct, so please pray for her health. Thanks!

So where was I? Yea so how would you feel if your big plans don’t go as you want them to go? Pissed? Exactly!!! But I’m not feeling ticked off… I’m no where near to that feeling… Infect I’m trying to understand the situation, after all everyone has problems and issues and preferences… So one has to give space… But hey! One thing for the records! “Plan ‘B’ Achey Hotey Hain” (Like Surf Excel slogan “Daag tou achey hotey hain”?)

So highlights of the week… I’ve finally started working on my book i.e. wrote a few lines, people have been extra generous, got 2 really cool gifts this week, got myself involved with 2 new projects and the Facebook page Mind Talk (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mind-Talk/146227751049) that I made also got 88 fans within first week… Apparently life is good (-:

Btw did I tell you that Aisha makes delicious “Bhindi”? I know its English is Lady Finger but “Bhindi” sounds more delicious, also I’m sure we all at least meet one person in life who gets annoyed when people call him / her “Bhindi”

Puri Sahib in Good Mood!

Blog with a Reason

Okay… Normally I only write when my mind is in a specific frequency… But today I’m no where near to being in that frequency however I still am writing just because I want to…

Now if I’m writing without a reason then there has to be some really good reason for you to bare this (-: so I have reasons… like more than 1?

1. Alta & Annie two of my most favorite bloggers made new entries today so why should I stay back? Right?
2. I’m in exceptionally good mood today. Why? I’ve reasons for everything (-;
a. No work till Thursday due to Eid Holidays
b. I went out with Ricky & Annie today and it was great fun, had iftar / dinner followed by ice cream… (Ricky! If you’re reading this, I would’ve been happier if you weren’t there :-P)
3. Finally Annie & I decided what my book is going to be about… (Did I mention that I’m thinking of writing a book?)

So enough reasons eh? But now the problem is… I don’t know what to write about… lolz

Hmmm… so lets start with highlights of the day.

Work usual, Karsaz Naval Mart – over crowded as it was last day before eid so that was a pain, Kushi didn’t clean car properly (probably had a fight with wife before coming to work), Asif’s topis at the top of the world AND once again, evening with Annie & Ricky…

Hmmm…. What else? Oh yea…

Had this discussion with Annie & Ricky, they’re of the opinion that after being in a relationship for over 3-4 years, one looses the spice of it… as in things get too much of routine & thus one looses interest, what do you all think? I strongly disagree… If its love then its supposed to get stronger with time… It may change its face but it is there… like after being married for about 37 years (my ma & pa) and 5 kids, 3 kids-in-law & 5 grand kids… How would you feel if my mom comes out of kitchen singing “urain jub jub zulfain teri, kawarion dil machley jind meriye!” if she does any such thing then we all will be saying “budhi gori lal lagaam” right? So she can’t do that, that’ll be too off… what she does is, dad doesn’t need look for his medicines, his food is there on time, the things which he’s allergic to stay out of home, his clothes are there all ready & on time, mom remembers when he’s supposed to see the doctor etc etc etc… so that is love, right? So Annie & Ricky! Beat that!

As I write this I'm having the same discussion with Mannu on msn and she says, "u dont need the spark when something more stronger is there :)" I strongly believe in that... Thanks Mannu!

Ouch! Just now I tried… I think my sore throat is turning REAL BAD!!! (Annie you’re to be blamed because I only ate that stupid ice cream to give you company)

Okay Enough with his blog... Time to close


Puri Sahib in a different mood ;-)
