Isn’t it funny that I can never write a lot when I am fine and happy? I mean what is there to report? The fact that I am Alhumdulilah having a pleasant time after quite a turbulent year, where my blessings primarily centered on how something miraculous happened in my trying times? Why is it that I don’t feel like writing when everything is cool and atmospheric? Why is it easy to desire a quiet and calm life when you don’t have it and not at all easy to write about it? Is suffering emotionally necessary for people to write? Think about it. Our great poets fro Ghalib to Faiz, from Amrata Preetam to Parveen Shakir, everybody wrote about their miseries and about their longing for their beloved. Great love stories from Wuthering Heights to a House of Mirth (no! Romeo and Juliet is not a great story) are all about the woes and desolation of love. Unhappy endings that made them great love stories. Midnight afflictions full of tears make great writing material. So really, is it necessary for people to feel pain and turbulence in their lives for them to write something meaningful?

Well, I may not have much to write about but I am still going to write. Life’s fine Alhumdulilah. It’s been a slow day for the most part. I met Ali in The morning, he dropped by my office to check up on me/ check up on the new cell phone. He’s off to Karachi in a few days. An’s away for her brother-in-law’s wedding which basically means that I have no one to have lunch with. I am really hungry right now but don’t really feel like having lunch all by myself. Nubla’s asked me to come over for a dance practice but it’s a dance practice & I am not really good at that. What can I say, I have two left feet.

I have to re-read DaVinci Code so I can start reading Secrets of the code. I found Secrets of the code some days back and haven’t had a chance really to read it. I still have to finish Harry Potter’s fourth installment which I started cuz I wanted to watch the movie with full recollection of the story. I have finished watching Dawson’s Creek. I hate those perfect teens! can't wait to watch the second season which basically depends on my purchasing it for 125 Rs.

Lunch! Must have lunch!!! Need! Want!! LUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
