برو اے عقل و منہ منطق و حکمت درپیش
کے میرا نسخہ غم، ہاے فلاں درپیش است
Urdu poetry, especially that of the masters, is art and beauty at its best. The language has an inherent romance and passion in it, which shines through in all forms of communication, especially in poetry. Unfortunately, the “Deewan” or the [...]

Musing
Posted in Ranting on on May 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
When relationships crumble and come to an end, how ugly and uncomfortable they become. Just like someone took a blooming rose, full of life and color, and drained it off its vivacity, so now it looks brown and crumbles in your hand when touched, leaving nothing but dust of times gone by behind. It even [...]
Rain rain go to Spain

“Aasmaan girya karta hai!! “,( Even the sky weeps in this city!!) These were the comments of a friend I once heard as she expressed her distaste for Vancouver and its seemingly incessant drizzle.
Maybe the monotony of the drizzle and the gloom that prevails has tarnished her idea of rain .. but thousands of miles [...]

I think it all got triggered when Milad sent that note which was supposed to help us figure out if were indeed engineer-ish. So i I wilfully clicked on that link and in 3 seconds was laughing like anything… its strange how your own bizarre attitudes can be so amusing.. and its not only [...]

Its surprising what stuff one comes around when one is, well, cleaning! Whether the cleaning ritual is of your room, your diaries or your inbox, I always come across stuff that makes me go either what on earth were you thinking! or something like Remember when I used to be that stupid!
well, I came across [...]
Le parole di amore

I dont know what to say about these, except these are the most touching, passionate and deep statements of love I have ever read or even come across. So here goes, from my memory/books to the blog
Wuthering Heights (Heathcliff, when Nelly tells him Cathy is dead)
May she wake in torment!’ he cried, with frightful vehemence, [...]
The small coincidences in life
Posted in Ranting on on August 5, 2006 | 1 Comment »
It is odd how some seemingly small events can change what path your life takes. I have been helping with orientations ever since I joined school and at each orientation we hear from the Dean and the academic advisor for the faculty of science and school of engineering. Our dean once told this story which is [...]

Canada – the country above United States

Every time I go out to buy anything, I am almost always fuming at the amount of tax that I have to pay. Whats worse is that it is never added to the price which is listed on the cover; so a 200$ dvd player isnt exactly 200$, its 230 instead and so on and [...]
As the days rush by..

It is May 22nd and this would be a long weekend all over Canada, or shall I say the end of a long weekend. All of Canada celebrates Victoria Day today, a tribute to their long gone affiliation with the Great Britain and not-so-long-gone affiliation with the queen of England.
Its afternoon and I have done [...]

Prostituion is legal in Germany, netherlands; exists in grey area in Canada, France and such like;with US having banned [...]
Hope, my friend, my enemy.

each time i learn about life's lessons, one of the greatest ones i hope. but really when should we lose hope? when does a cause just seem hopeless and should not be pursued anymore? isnt it true that if you keep on hoping you would never let go of things and people. isnt it also [...]
excerpts from a past
Posted in Ranting on, memories on April 6, 2006 | 3 Comments »
a really hot June day; one of the hottest of the hot days in a sultry summer in Lahore; two tiny rickshaws burning under the 50 degree sun rays; and 5 girls, or if you may call them 'young women', all in white clothes and almost oblivious of the summer heat standing right in the [...]
