Plans

I hate him when R tells me that i should not plan for everything....
if you know me ... one thing you know for sure is that i like to plan things... i hate it when people get late for something... i hate it if there is some unwanted hurdle effecting my plans.... sometimes i think that this is the reason why me and B are friends... like me he also plans out things .. i like that in a guy....

khair nowadays whatever plans i make.. R ruins them .. maybe he is trying to get me out of this planning business
he is so mistaken

Getting frustrated

So I have been shopping on and off for the wedding and the list is not reducing , instead it is getting longer . Every time i buy something or go for shopping, there is something that catches my attention that i start thinking is very important and needs to be added to the list. The days are getting hotter now and since i have started going for Arabic lessons ( no i am not going to any Arab country after marriage), so i believe the shopping will be taking place during the evenings....
No job yet, so a reason to get frustrated
I hope and pray i get a job soon ..................

I am missing Boston again

God i miss Boston so much... there is not a single day when i don`t think about my second home
it becomes hard to decide whether that place grew into me or i grew in that place
i have my fondest memories of that place ............
i would never forget summers in Boston
I could think of so many wonderful things about that place
It was recently when at an interview they asked me about my stay in the U.S and my eyes lit up just on the thought of Boston... my beautiful second home

i miss u Boston.. and one day ... one day i will come see u again inshallah
i would listen to these songs about Boston all my life

that fatal day

It was December 5th 2008, Friday
I was working on my final exam and a term paper and suddenly i decided to go out for some fresh air. I went to Newburry street. Scanned through the shops there. I thought i was taking so long but then said to myself "i deserve this break, i ave been working for so long sitting inside". When i reached home.. it was a devastating scene. My apartment had been broken into. My roommates were crying, Police ahd been called and were taking the evidence
Suddenly they started asking what was missing... and i looked at my bed.. Oh my God.. my laptop -it had my almost completed exam and term paper and all my memories from US- GONE
i went in a shock , couldn`t put myself to realize what had happened. There was no way that i could rewrite the whole exam....
I wanted to cry but no tears.............
Aparantly my roommate left the window open and went away, the theif came in the window broke the lock on my laptop, got hold of my jewelry box and little cash in my wallet. My roomate came back in 20 minutes when he was stil inside, so he fled
my most important comodity was stolen... my laptop my friend.... i loved my laptop ...over the last year and a half i had grown used to it. Everyday i switched on my laptop before doing anything else and now it was gone gone forever.. just because of the negligence of

random conversation at gym`s sauna

This is a conversation i heard in the sauna bath of my gym
girl1: i don`t know what to do about X
girls2: why?
gilr1: i love him and he is gay
girl2: are you sure you love him romantically and not as your best friend?
because i love Y to death but as a friend
girl1: yeh maybe , i am not sure
he usually comes over and sleep with me, we don`t get physical but that is the only time we can be together. So he comes over and sleep with me
girl2: awwwwwww that`s so cute
girl1:i am all wet, i wanna go out and walk like this, people will think i am crazy, why am i so crazy?
and it goes on .... she keeps on talking about her body ....... ufffffffff

BOSTON!!!

So,
Today I am going to write about Boston, the city that has become my second home. It is a place in which i have grown (only in 1 and a half years), a place where i learned so many valuable lessons of life and a place that will always stay in my heart.....
It is strange that when i was thinking about doing a Masters from the States about 2.5 years back, i didn`t even know that there was a city named Boston :S. And here i am after less than 3 years in Boston and am ready to return, leave boston :(.
I have made so many friends here, laughed and cried,felt powerful and helpless............

I was caught up in a snow storm last December. I was standing in the winter cold for three hours waiting for a bus, just to find out the bus wasn`t coming .....
I have taken the famous "freedom trail" on thanksgiving ....
I have stood infront of MIT and Harvard... i always feel the goosebumps when the voice in 1 number bus announces the MIT station (77 Massachusetts avenue, MIT)
I have taken cruises on Charles river ......... have seen it frozen
I have played in the snow and walked in the sun
I have spent a lot of time in the Boston public librar, the second biggest library i have been to in my life
I have shopped and shopped till i could go no more
I have discovered the best ice cream ever (ben and jerry`s strawberry cheese cake)
Every time i fly back to boston, i look for Prudential Centre and after finding it say to myself... this is where i live
It was not before this year that i came across this song which will always remind me of all my time spend in Boston
here`s the link
