Ok So today was 14th of August. Pakistans independence day. Our country is now 64 years old. BIG BOY I MUST SAY :P Way to go Pakiland. Well to begin with, for me today was just an ordinary day like every other. Their were hardly any functions for this day around town so i just sat home , watched a couple of so called patriotic shows and yeah that was just it. One thing i noticed today was the sheer lack of patriotism,while i went for a drive I hardly saw any Flags, I remember when i was young people used to put those JHANDIAN on the walls and the kids were so enthusiastic to buy those little flag badges and brooches but this time the enthusiasm was not their. Even my younger sisters did not demand any flag etc while last time they were head over heals to buy the biggest possible flag. Back when I was young (well here i sound as old as Pakistan, though im still a teenager ) when i lived in an army area as my dad was in army, we used to march in the whole cantt, singing patriotic songs, my friend holding the flag. Those days were love. the 14th august night used to be epic. All the boys and girls gathered to shoot crackers and the whole area was lit by fairy lights. A full SHUGAL experience to its core. HUH! i miss those days :(

COFFEE TEA AND COMPANY
I being a big food lover, keep on checking different cafes and resturants. Among all those i visited, without a second thought CTC was the best.I left the place with a growling stomach as i had eaten a bit too much.Located in a corner in hussain chowk it grabs the attention at once with a serene outlook. As i walked in I could smell the choclaty aroma which made me all the more hungary.The ambiance was very classy with a very plaeasing anterior. The bakery stuff is in the ground floor while the dine in is at the upper level. I went up the stairs to grab a seat but the place was full.Mostly i could see youngsters and families. My family waited for a couple of minutes and then we finally got our table.The menu had a vast variety.The service was good and the food came early.I had ordered a steak and man it was just finger licking good without a doubt its the best steak in town. The Burgers and sandwiches were scrumptious as well.After that i ordered a choclate lava cake whose taste still tantalizis my taste buds.That was just heavenly.Half way through that i was full as it was a heavy dish. I would give it four stars.

VACATIONS!!!
So finally VACATIONS!!! All year long i had been waiting for this ultimate summer break and finally the heavenly day arrived when i bid farewell to my college and looked forward to the long holidays ahead of me :)
10 DAYS PASS
MAN! I am bored already.All i do these days is watch movies and i have literally finished all the movies HIT or FLOP.Now gonna dig into some series. One tree hill, Vampire diaries and gossip girl are on the top of my list .
5 DAYS PASS
and tataaaa im done with them too. What next!
Vacs are now freaking boring.There is nothing to do all day.My ears are hurting because of the the headphones dat are plugged into my ears all day long.
Im a slacker by nature =P though my initial plan was to earn some money as i so wanna buy an iPhone and obviously my dad wont be buying me the latest one. my friend suggests me to write articles and earn money through that but i write occasionally according to my mood...so umm not really an open option. i was into doing some internship but unfortunately cant seem to find any :( or i would love to babysit but unfortunately nobody pays you for it here in Pakiland .I so wish i could do some chores and earn money through that and I am on a serious lookout and keeping hopes alive.So for the time being i will indulge myself in the next season of GOSSIP GIRL ;) XOXO

My Dear Homeland
Do you like Pakistan? Someone recently asked me this question which put me into deep thoughts.I mean dont I like the country in which i was born in,spent all my life till now,did all my schooling from and etc.It gave me an identity.Should I not be proud of that.
The recent things that are happening around like bomb blasts,corruption and target killing of innocent lives etc.But why all this in my country.It was not like this in the past in my parents time. Who is responsible for all this chaos. OK yes the government to some extent but then why my inner voice says I am responsible for all this.maybe because i just sit here and play the blame game like everyone else.why dont i just get up and do something for its betterment.when we as a nation have not done anything then why do we expect that the government will make our homeland prosperous.They are people just like us who apparently will blame the country people for the present condition.
Somebody has to get up! but wait why not me.Thats what everyone should think of. OK! i agree our government is corrupt but the least we can do is to get up and like the people of Egypt or Libya protest against it and by protest i dont mean burning tyres or setting cars and buses on fire.
Everything can be done in a calm and respected manner.so i would request you guys to get up and do something before its too late.As Quaid-e-Azam said "Think 100 times before you take a decision, But once that decision is taken, stand by it as one man."
i would also like to leave you guyz with the lyrics of a song. which provoked me to write this blog
to aaj is mor pe aa kharai hue,
na koi rasta na manzil aae nazar tumhain,
akal hairan hai or soch pareshan hai,
khof hai dil mai or gumsum zaban hai,
to shor macha or qadam barhaa,
apna sar fakhar se uthaa,
buland kar apne wo khayal,
puch le wo sub sawal,
PAKISTAN ZINDABAD,
cheir de wo khof-o-hiraas k parde,
apni misaal khud bana,
chor dai mayoosi k wo rastai,
apna bojh khud utha,
dikhaa, dikha k tu kisi se kam nahi,
teri soch teri himmat tere dil mai koi gham nahi,
aaj hai andhair to kal ujaal,
SAYA-E-KHUDAYAE ZULJALAL
