post problem?
Looks like people are having trouble posting into blogger today. I guess I am missing out on a lot 'coz I'm not one of those special people! How partial is that??

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Either everyone is dead or is planning something against me. I had been away for quite sometime. There were a few blogs that I used to keep track of when I was living here. I just visited their blogs and they haven't posted since I've been gone.
One of my friends in India has a great blog since I've come to Dubai for vacations he hasn't posted even once.
Blogging is a very tough thing to do in the long run. It's very similar to the empty promises of writing in a diary everyday. I think that it is very important for all readers to keep their writers going and the only way to do that is giving feedback.

Pretentious
I went shopping yesterday in one of the famous malls of Dubai know as Mall of the Emirates. People also affectionately like to call it moe. I observed and understood that this world only and only favors right-handed and skinny and white people. We understand that this world is dominated by right-handed persons but how will you justify skinny and white?
I walked into very posh stores which have reasonably priced designer outfits. Not to mention that what will fit into my budget (a dhs.30 t-shirt) will be of the worst quality and de-shape in one single wash. So I picked up a t-shirt for dhs.44 and went to try it on. It is a fact that i have put on a lot of weight and my tummy flaunts it. In the trial room I get frustrated looking at how un-shapely the garment looks. All my rising hopes die like burning paper.
All clothes in such shops are meant for skinny people. Half the world's is over-weight and 90% of the rest half can't afford these clothes, so who exactly is the market favoring? And hey, wait up...the ten percent that's left- most of them include very rich people who won't even look at these shops twice while walking past. Now let's get the ball rolling...
The people who walk in may be suffering from a form of masochism. This behavior could be spotted coming from a fat woman or slightly over weight girl buy skinny clothes thinking that in the near future she shall compel herself to fit into those clothes. But, sadly these clothes only taunt her everyday as they stare at her from the cupboard space and remind her everyday of how ugly she is because she can't fit into them.
Now we come to the 'white' problem. I strolled into another shop with my (forever amazing body) sister and (awesome legs) sister-in-law. Here I didn't care to look at the clothes because I was sure about them laughing at me. I found make-up. Now, make-up isn't as bad as skinny clothes. At least every woman on the planet can use make-up no matter how fat or dark she is.
This is not a white country. It is fairish-brown country. The shop I was in does not specialize in make up but they had something to offer. I saw this tempting set of eye make up which was known as the 'gypsy colors'. My sister-in-law stood beside me and tried on one of the shades. It was hardly showing on her skin and she walked off from the make up booth saying that the shades are for 'very fair' skin.
So I conclude... saying nothing else but one thing, the people in this world are very pretentious.

18 till i die
I'm nineteen now though. but, EIGHTEEN TILL I DIE! gonna be eighteen till i die!
Bryan Adams. Simple man, simple songs, sexy voice. Bryan Adams. I'm not a fan of his nor his songs, his music is light and is therefore great to listen to when I'm at work.
Let's run the calender, there are TEN days till i leave home again. In those ten days I have promised myself to go to the beach everyday to wet my feet, alone or with roshni or maybe ankit.
Been sleeping like a log. It's pretty bad 'coz my boday hurts and is stiff in the worst of places like the neck, for example.
A silly idea just struck my mind. I'm going to look for design places where they will take people for internship in India. Can't be sure whether I will get a laptop or not so I have to do my research here.
I feel like changing my template. It is RED and BLACK now.

Re-expiditions of Dubaiworld
So I sleep at five and open my eyes at around ten to find Aisha smiling at me. It was like this romantic Hindi film moment. At first, her image was a little blur and then she comes into focus, wearing a pretty Eid outfit and looking pretty by herself. I thought I woke up into the wrong world, so I closed my eyes and opened them again after, maybe, five minutes. Nothing had changed, she was still sitting there with that smile. I was thinking ‘Shit, am I turning into a lesbian because I seem to be dreaming sweet stuff about Aisha!’
We got out of the house. Slid into Ankit’s car and so my Re-expeditions into the Dubaiworld began. The trip goes like this:
Jumana’s place
Begged her mom to let her go. It took us 45 minutes!
The tyre:
Mid-way Ankit realized that the car that he had brought along had problems with the tyres. (does the previous sentence make sense?) So we head back to his place and got into his car.
Dominos:
I voted for Dominos lunch and I was the only one voting. The place turned out to be a disappointment.
Beach:
Felt very elated. Opened my hair and shook my head around like a maniac. But it felt amazing. Free. Freedom. Made the rest of them do the same. Found little pink shells and gave one to each.
Headed back home. In the car I spoke to Ankit about things that I never had; about life and living.

Eid Day adventures
So Eid went well. Bhaiya finally asked me what I wanted as a birthday present. The only thing I want or otherwise need is a Laptop. Dad actually did a research on which laptop I should get while I was away. Funny. He was actually preparing himself into buying it for me. I completely flipped at that. I don't what gets into him sometimes.
Later yesterday I hung out with Ankit. We went around looking for speakers for my iriver. Music is an important thing when you live in a hostel and study design. We didn't buy them, though. Had ice cream later and he dropped me home.
Nedi and Sammy had bought tickets for 1:15am show of Don. They gave me a little surprise when i came home about the show.
I was way sleepy before the movie. I fell asleep for like 10 mins before we left.
The movie was great entertainment. Actually!

Suddenly
sat-oct-21-12:40am
Suddenly I am safe
Suddenly I can take
Suddenly it's all gone
Suddenly heart is strong
Suddenly eyes are wide
Suddenly we all slide
Suddenly life goes numb
Suddenly she goes dumb
Suddenly I feel blind
Suddenly on my mind
Suddenly that is sharp
Suddenly it grows dark
Suddenly I am here
Suddenly it's nowhere
Suddenly screams are loud
Suddenly all in doubt
Suddenly I feel real
Suddenly I am safe
Suddenly I can take
Suddenly it's all gone
Suddenly heart is strong
Suddenly eyes are wide
Suddenly we all slide
Suddenly life goes numb
Suddenly she goes dumb
Suddenly I feel blind
Suddenly on my mind
Suddenly that is sharp
Suddenly it grows dark
Suddenly I am here
Suddenly it's nowhere
Suddenly screams are loud
Suddenly all in doubt
Suddenly I feel real
My left leg is still feeling a little stiff. Hope I haven't screwed up something in my body by sitting here for such long hours after 4 months. It was feeling numb in my sleep. Maybe I could do with a little walk, but not today because I'm already hungry and there are more than three hours to go till Iftar. I don't want to make excersize plans before I fill my tummy so let's just leave it to that.
CUBE
Five sides to the 'Guess-what-I-am-doing CUBE'. It was bhaiya's birthday yesterday. After a long time have done something interesting. Pleased with myself and drained.
Haven't slept all night.
Was watching 'The Skeleton Key'. Good movie. Has Kate Hudson and the story is by the people who did The Ring.
Anyway, about the cube, there is not much of a story but only that I want it to be a very interesting object and I shall invent more of these.
Lovely stuff. Again Red, Black and White. I think this combination of colors has possessed my mind and it's activities.
My leg feels like it's going to paralyse since I've been sitting here for far too long. I shall now move onto other uninteresting activities of life like sleeping. Tomorrow will be a big day. Eid.

Red, Today I came across a Blog with something about (red). No, I did'nt read much to find out what it was all about but it had this line somewhere 'Everyone likes (red)' and I completely agree with that. Is that reason why I fetched this template to support my blog? Maybe.
I got this template from www.geckoandfly.com. A very handy website. I thought it is just a website with designers who submit their work but turns out that it dens a blogger's heaven.
Another website which is Photographer's haven, www.flickr.com. This place hosts the most interesting people's work and comments.
I feel so rusty at my keyboard. My finger joints hurt and my wrist too. Creed plays brutally loud into my ears 'Can you take me higher?'
