My Preciousss

Its just past midnight… Damn, another busy day for yours truly :(

Have two meetings at work

Have a farewell lunch to attend

Have a meeting at my parent company at 6

Have a wedding reception to attend at 9:30

Damn, I am wasted… and none of the event is to be missed.  What if the meeting at 6 extends longer than expected?  ahhhhh the thought of missing my friend’s wedding reception makes me feel sick :-(

I think our cricket team needs more of such fielders…

Its been more than a week that I wrote anything. Seems like I am suffering from a blogging blackout – again!

Well, things are not great now a days on my end. Though its not the work that is bothering me (my past week or so has been very ‘normal’ as far as work is concerned). Perhaps its the heat that has started to boil my brain now… grrrrr

The place where I live is being painted now a days, everything is being scattered, the smell of paint and total chaos of household stuff is another factor that is screwing up my mind. This situation is likely to continue for the next week or so. Damn, I just don’t fucking want to enter into this place after a full day’s work but i seem to have no other choice.

And my bro is off to Dubai again, this time for a whole month. I am sure he will be met with a new colored house when he gets back.

Ok, me off now. Gotta take a shower and then to watch a movie. Which one should I watch from a list: ‘Sunshine Cleaning’, ‘Pink Panther 2’, ‘Night at the museum 2’, ‘April showers’????

ahhh decisions, decisions.

Hope to write again with a more positive head.

YESSSSSS!

THEY DID IT!

PAKISTAN WON THE T20 CRICKET WORLD CUP

The Fireworks have already started, cars with loud music are circling the neighborhood (and the whole city country too)… Aerial shots being fired, people blowing whistles.

Its gonna be a party tonight…. this team deserved it, this country needed one moment to feel happy….

I JUST LOVE IT, I NEED TO GO OUT AND LIGHT A CIGERATTE OF JOY!

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…. AFRIDI ROCKS – THE BOYS IN GREEN RULE!

Today is the final of the Cricket T20 world cup.

And to our utmost surprise, the local cricket stars as one of the contesting teams. (Pakistan v Sri lanka)

Suddenly, we see that the newspapers are filled with words like ‘hope’, ‘heroes’, ‘stars’, ‘prayers’ blah blah…. Politicians,  ex cricketers, wannabe celebrities are all conveying their message of goodwill to the cricket team. But, is it just about these famous people that are hoping for the best? – NO! It NEVER was about these famous people. Its all about the common people who follow cricket with more enthusiasm than they follow religion. They have waited patiently all those years to see their team reach the finals of any high level world event, and their hopes with their team are high.

The more matches this team has won in this tournament, the more focused the fans have gone, Initially everyone (yours truly included) believed, that this team would barely reach the second round, and losing against England in the first match proved their concerns, but our team has crawled its way to the top two and the crowd has cheered with them.

My MSN contacts have also been expressing similar emotions for the past two days or so. Some call it the reincarnation of 1992 world cup, some call it a miracle, some are just plain ‘shocked’….

Our Media has jumped into the party as well. TV channels playing motivational songs, Radio/TV stations earning money by playing SMS messages on the screens sent by fans. Newspapers publishing an extra half page of ‘analysis’ of teams.

And I can’t help but smile on the statement by the KESC that ‘THERE WILL BE NO POWER FAILURE’ during the course of the game… lolz

So, the environment is set for the clash tonight…. From Karachi to Frontier, people will be glued to every piece of live coverage they have available… and they have all the right to be hopeful, coz for the past years this nation has seen nothing but misery and they now know the importance of smiles (no matter how small the happiness may be). It is also a responsibility of the cricket team not to let the fans down.

Go Team, Win this for us. We are anxious!
