The World as I see It

Nowadays such the the extent of my busy schedule that blogging seems a luxury I cannot afford to to take out time for. Its been a while since the last post. I hope i don’t miss to mention any mentionable experience s since the last post. So here I go.

Ramazan had been hard and my health had degraded to a little extent, at least in the eyes of my mother . After 3 weeks into Ramazan, I couldn’t wait to see the end of it, it sounds rather sacrilegious I know and I shouldn’t be saying this as Ramazan is the month of blessings and all that but that is what it is and that is how I felt.  I prayed for Ramazan to be of 29 days rather than 30 and that is what I got in the end albeit belatedly and with a certain element of controversy. There were mixed reports throughout the country regarding the sighting of the new crescent. Some said it was sighted, some denied it. Very late into the night, around 11 PM they officially declared that it was sighted and that it was the Eid next day. Thank Goodness for that.

A lot of people were not happy on the chand raat. Many thought it was going to be another roza next day and me and my friends were cursing these Moon Sighting committee members for this. Our tenants on the ground floor waited until 11 in the night before leaving for Lahore. Even my mother did not get to know about the eid next day as she went to sleep around 10 (an hour before the next day’s Eid was announced) In the morning she prepared Sehri for all of us as she thought it was another roza. When we told that It was Eid day today in the morning, she too rightfully cursed the moon committee members. My chand raat however was special. It was a special European Night as Arsenal produced a sumptuous display by beating FC Porto 4-0. Couldn’t have asked for a better Eidi.

I dont sleep much on a European Night like this and consequently I spent most of the Eid day sleeping.

On 2nd day of Eid two of my best friend Ashiq and Waqar came to see me. We had lunch together at my place and talked all sorts of stuff. Later they told me that they had planned a BBQ night and wanted me to join. So I went with them to Waqar’s place which is very near to the famous Rawal Lake. It took us  until midnight to prepare all the stuff for the event. We chose a spot on the Rawal lake bank for preparing the BBQ and all the while it was preparing we rocked the cool and romantic atmosphere by our moronic and stupid laughters, giggles and other misc. stupid things that we friends find cool to exercise. BBQ was awesome and later we danced on the music that was playing on Waqar’s deck.

The tempo and beats of this track brought the best out of many of us amateur dancers. If it was an animated movie the fish in the lake would surely have come out on top of the water surface and would dance alongside us just as stupidly as we did. It’s true

When we returned back to Waqar’s place it was 3 in the morning already. We were all on the bikes with all the BBQ stuff with us. i had the knife in my hand and some other things too. When we were about to enter Waqar’s house, suddenly a Police vehicle dashed into the street and stopped right besides us. An Officer came out and asked us that what are you doing here. We said we are just returning home. We all got a bit worried when an apparently little drunk constable emerged from back side of the vehicle and asked where is the house number xyz, they have reported gun firing. Waqar told them about that house which was just two houses away from Waqar’s. Police went to that house and started doing their stuff. It came out something like this. One of Waqar’s neighbors has a pet dog which like all other typical dogs, likes to bark. Now dog barking is a phenomenon that is never pleasing to the ears especially at night and especially when you are trying to sleep, not to mention when you are trying to sleep and you are drunk This is  exactly what happened with the next door neighbor of the dog-keepers. He somehow got drunk that night and was trying to sleep but the naughty little fellow that is the neighbors’ dog would not let him sleep. Nothing good should be expected from a drunk person and that is what happened. The drunk bloke took out his gun and opened fire on the poor dog. As he was drunk he could not properly hit the ‘bull’s eye’, he instead hit walls and floor of the neighbor’s house. They called the police and police was at it in a flash. Ironically and as mentioned above, one of the police constables was also drunk but he was managing himself fine. When the fire-opening bloke was pleading his innocence in front of police he was blabbering all sorts of funny and stupid stuff that you would normally expect from a drunk person. He was like:

I only opened fire on this $@#$@# doggie in my self defence…

I know he is a criminal… he barks all night long.. and his other fellows too but they are not owned so I cannot open fire on them

You are taking me to police station ..you dont know me..

My father built the entire Islamabad…

This is so not fair..

At first the police were real nice with him but he was behaving as if  he was the king of the world. SO Police had to show their traditional colors. The drunk constable was really pissed at him. He gave him a kick on his back side and hurled him into the backside of the vehicle and then in his own drunk accent mockingly imitated the fire-opening guy’s English phrases by saying:

this is wat … te .. wat is this.. !!

gaddi de ander ho…%#$#!%@

It was a nice climax to the an already exciting night. Although the night did not end there. At waqar’s place we arranged a multimedia projector and made a cinema like big screen on Waqar’s room’s wall and watched movies all night. I got back home around 2 in the afternoon next day. Later that evening Arsenal drew 1-1 with Sunderland thanks to a last gasp equalizing header by Cesc. I put this pic here because I like Cesc’s new typical Latino hairstyle and did I say it before, our away kit’s color scheme is awesome. At least i think so.

Finally I have got the phone number of my beloved friend Shadab. I’ll call him very soon.
