Consequences...

Photo by: Abbas, Feb 16th 2005. "After the Rain Falls"

Like Mohsin Hamid said in his book, "people just dont believe in consequences anymore". i guess thats true. people tend to just go about their selfish ways. not thinking how a course of action is going to directly or indirectly affect the people involved. i guess you kinda learn how to deal with it by first

• experiencing something that makes you realize that people do selfish things
• and then you tune urself to expect that they would be selfish so you learn to cope with it.

Well, people will be people and you gotta live with em. their actions may change the way you know life or the way you were used to things but you do have to live with it. thats what iv done, learnt to adjust.

"Why?"

there are times when i just cant stand it anymore. its just one of those emo days i guess. everything seems to be going the wrong way, nothing seems to be going according to plan, friends feel like strangers and parents seem to be against you. what is one to do? i still cant figure it out.

Standing next to the window in my room i look out. look at all the people just going about, doing thier business, sorting out all the shit that goes down in their life according to their own understanding. then i think, what am i so worried about? things will change... but theres one thing that you just cant ignore and thats "why"... why did this shit have to happen? why did it have to go this way? why couldnt have things been the same? why didnt things get better? why is everythign going the wrong way, down? why am i feeling so crappy? why? and the question remains in ur mind..... eating away all the braincells that furiously chug away making electrical connections with countless neurons, exchanging information that leads to some sort of response.

but the real question is... why is there ever a why? why cant a why be a why not? i guess there are somethings that cant be answered cause they're not supposed to be answered. theres no single answer to all of this. is it cause ur supposed to learn from all the crap that happens and that u eventually find out the reason? i think not. a friend of mine likes to believe that the only reason to all of this is "Fate" but is that a reasonable answer? i mean... can you just leave it all to fate? ill give the same example here that i gave to her, can you just cross a street without looking left and right leaving it to fate to get you to the other side?.... i think not. but now that i think about it. its just not about fate.... its about "Faith". i guess you just gotta have faith in the big guy up there that what ever hes got in store for you, its for the better. i guess thats why iv come to term with the shit that happens in my life. i guess i try to believe that its all got a greater purpose and that i will actually learn something from it.

I chose door number 2. the way out. but like every door, a way out from something eventually becomes a way in to something else. so heres hoping that i end up somewhere that im actually comfortable with......

Lahore...

i recently visited lahore for basant. it wasnt all that great, not at all like the ones i had experienced before because of the rains. khair, i had a blast with friends and family. i got to spend some time with my best buddy ammar and even got to hang around his university, Government College Lahore. it was fun. this is a particularly great picture i snapped just before i left campus..... weather was awesome.... to bad i didnt take any more pictures....

New Feature....

I just added a message board to the blog.... i doubt that many people even come to this blog but what the heck..... check it out......

The Shit story....

well well well.... its the 6th of Febuary and im in lahore... enjoying a very wet basant.... non existant to be exact. plans got spoiled and new plans got made which werent all that great. khair, went to nandos and man, is that place frikkin good! beats kfcs ass any day. well i had their 1/2 flame grilled chicken HOT type, with 2 side orders of peri-peri fries and peri rice (peri, read DAMN HOT).... well i topped this already hot order with their extra hot peri peri sauce and damn was it frikkin good. it was great. anyway by the end of the meal i realized it was too hot and my eyes started to water.... well just then it dawned upon me.... an epiphany

Shit Rule Number 1:

"WHAT GOES IN HOT, COMES OUT HOT"

and by that my friends i mean shit... yes u heard me right shit.... once u eat something flame hot u get shit that scorches ur bum... and yes i did have to experience it. and no, it wasnt very nice or pleasant.... but i guess reading "The Da Vinci Code" while taking a dump helped my put my mind off of the scorchiness.....


thinking about shit an all made me realize something else.....

Shit Rule Number 2:

"BAD SHIT HAPPENS TO GOOD PEOPLE BUT GOOD SHIT HAPPENS TO BAD PEOPLE."

its simple as that, nothing much to add just that u kinda cant stand it wen the good stuff happens to people you just love to hate while on the other hand ur always seem to end up with the short end of the stick. and when you look around, every other crapmeister is having fun while ur just standing around observing those jokers... oh well thats life for ya. i guess u gotta live with it. but i say wheres the justice in that? eh? never figured that out.... lemme know if u do peace....
