Days in summer, as Oscar Wilde put it, are apt to linger.
Summer is setting its hold on Islamabad and the nights are decidedly warm. I know because I have finally parted with my blanket and turned the fan on full force. I like summers, the nights keep me awake and days give me time to sleep.
Sunday passed without much consequence. I woke up early, around 9 in the morning and spent the morning watching a movie ‘The Mighty’ with Bhai. For some reason, it got me thinking…
Thinking! The one thing I prefer not to do anymore. Nayar just asked me why I read so much…and my reply was…that it keeps me from thinking. There is nothing more boring than being alone with your thoughts.
Anyhoo, Maria and Sana came over in the afternoon. I met Maria after some 6 months. Last time was when Sana & I went to the land far far away to meet her. This time, she traveled the distance after a 30 minute call full of my taunts focusing on the fact that I had forgotten what she looked like. We sat, we talked and we ate apple pie and brownies. Then in the evening, I went to watch ‘King Kong’ in the Club with Saniya. The movie is brilliantly made but useless for all that. I mean, what was the point? I am all for mindless entertainment but really, must it be so irritating?
