Karachi Jan.

 Saf ____my only left over  like minded girl friend had been flown to Rawalpindi  today . Her father  worked at some pvt airline and she wanted to be a stewardesses. Mine ran  an advertising company and  I wanted to be an anchor woman .However, life has some  things totally different  for us .We  ended up being  some thing else.

Both were so vain in  university.

She was from different department. One  day she was sitting in  corridor of my department and doing her revision. I was doing mine .Those were exams days.  First thing I asked was:

Permed or real curls?
She said 100% real curls  !!And  then she asked, " Real straight or re-bonding something."
I replied 100% real straight .And we became friends.

When ever I meet someone I check hair  out and its cut for sure.

 I have off today so I went airport  to see her off . Friday was also off because of 23rd March and today is Saturday . Tomorrow Sunday .OMG, I wanna die :D .

It's 4: 11 p.m.  at moment over here . Came back home from airport an hour ago .Chow down rice  with  curry and hit computer to check out what you commented on my Jihad post .  Not bad, ahan .You know ,that post was much needed . It hurts when peeps call me 'Paki" or " Muzzie" .

Anyway, Sonia is online . She does not even know I am writing this post while chewing the fat  with her . My first Indian friend  :) . She is also a southern like me. I haven't told her that I am coming from an airport. She will read it by her self. No sweat ..

Also listening  Hasan Nisar's interview on you tube he gave to the  CNBC's show   "Syasat Mana Hai " ( here ) for 23rd March .  He rocks , man . Not watching ,just listening because it's pretty  impossible to watch while chatting and blogging .What a juggler I am .

OK before Ammi yells at me,  let  me complete this post .

I am sad but happy for her as well . Lets be optimistic  she be back  for Eid ,  or for   any other occasion . Rawalpindi is not that far . I will not have to wait for her like I do for my other friends , cousins and relatives who lives overseas____million miles away from me .

I only have one real  uncle ,who is  a loner and doesn't interact  with us at all  and   few not so-interesting -relatives over here.I don’t see them all that much . They are  totally cool people , but  I don’t know . We  meet sometimes, out of the blue, very often_____occasionally .Whatever the word is ! Kabhi Kabar .

All my mother's real siblings and  other relatives  had been immigrated overseas  long ago in 90's and my fathers peeps are still in Bangladesh . I haven't  meet them yet .

I  met my Seattle   aunt, her husband, and my 3 cousins after some 15 years in May 2011 . It was a  fine experience .She was here  for her in-law's daughter's wedding . Most of the time they stay at their place.

Last year,  one of my first cousin got married in Toronto . Can you believe the whole USA was there___Every man   and his dog. Then three of  my other kissing  cousins got married in USA, the  whole Canada went to USA. This May another cousin is getting married in Toronto, and USA peeps are getting ready !!!!!!

However ,I love this scenarios .Yes.I know cousins  can be way  fun. But in my case friends   are quite  better. And you know, this part of me is like  super cool. Well, I do share a special bond with them which I can not share with my millions miles away cousins . And I also don't wanna be in their dangerous gossip loving circle ,where everyone knows everyone.

No other scientific logic why I love this scenario. Only thing is that friends are also living their lives and moving on  which is  a wake up call for me I reckon , isn't?

In 90's when everyone was leaving I also  wanted to go there but not any more ! Now, I am much better in my own world  by the grace of Alla'ah . Living my life because this is what Alla'ah has decided for me .

I am more mature, more lucky , more happy .

Who knows about  the  future ?
I might be traveling around the  world.

Karachi  is not that bad place to live, neither that good .Cool mornings, long  noons. Evenings  full with life. Beaches .No matter its heat sucks other .It's smoking hot.

There are evil things too: Political unrest, target killing, strikes, etc etc .So,yeah ......Living here ain't that easy .It's rich peep's city.

However, right now I am here, chilling.
Loving   Karachi Jan   !
( Ja'an =Love )
