Dear all,

Yesterday, my father was involved in a gas blowup while turning on the geyser. He has suffered quite a few burns to his face. Please pray his wounds heal soon without scarring and he gets well.

Thankyou.

Yesterday was good. I received the best news i’ve had in a while.

My father has been nominated for the Sitara-e-Imtiaz (Military) yesterday for his services rendered for the state of Pakistan. The award will be conferred on 14th of August 2007. The letters SI(M) will be entered after his name for the coming years.

YAYYY!!!! Go Dad!!!

Reason? Simple…. A tech geeks biggest high in the world is a new gadget, especially one they’ve been looking forward to forever!

I’ve gotten myself a new gadget! Now i need to figure out how to pay for it… but that’s for another day.

Been away from office for the last couple of days… so no blogging :p

Haven’t put up a post on KMB in quite a while.. got new blood there, and really looking forward to reading what they have to write. I’ve taken the lead long enough, and now the others are taking it further just fine.

Got assigned to close a project…  The second in my short career so far. I wonder if this is a sign of things to come? Still, got a couple of weeks to do that.. so lets see.

Waiting for a surprise tomorrow, dad’s coming back.

Finished the art of living course, will write about why just about every human being on this planet should take the course! It has changed me in ways i never thought possible. Smiling is finally effortless

Grandparents leaving on thursday. Life is gonna be so different now.. it had revolved around them for so long…

I realized (just like many others before me, and many who will come after me) that i just dont wanna be ‘attached’ to any girl for the time being. Not as a girlfriend nor as a fiance. Bachelor life is just so much better. Can do so much.

I’ve been called a ladla from the one place i least expected it :p kinda made my day :$

still smiling

the ’story of her’ will come to an abrupt screeching halt. Not my decision, but absolutely the last decision i will respect. dont worry dear readers, i’ll have some other story up pretty soon.

a function of my past.

Yet, this is something i rebel against, and want to break out of. Its not easy, and i relapse more often then get through..  but this my reality.

And this is excatly what AOL (art of living) teaches me not to do.. not to live in the past, not to keep all the regrets, but to live in the present.

“its a good idea….. to implement a good idea.”

So i joined up the art of living course finally. A friend had done it sometime back and was all in praise for it, so when i happened upon a rs. 1000 for six days course.. i naturally jumped at the chance.

And boy am i glad i did! Unfortunately, i wont be able to tell all about what goes on in the workshop, since they’ve got a non-disclosure agreement with the participants, it was actually the reason behind the agreement which got me. Let the others come in with the same sense of wonder and surprise as you did.

I realized a lot of things about myself today. I’m shy in new company (who knew :S), especially of the female vareity.. My success factors for life revolve around three areas. And i can perform past physical pain if motivated enough.

Quite a bit of revelations for the first day, more to come later.. its going to be on for another 5 days :S

Btw.. incase anyone missed, another session of the Art of Living will be conducted from the 18th March, so u can register for that.

Sometimes.. people say things to you which just kind of stick! Today, which discussing the inevitable future life-partner, this line was thrown at me…

“it doesn’t matter who you choose to spend your life with. in a couple of years, you’ll regret it all the same and both of you will adapt to each other. dont think too much… just go with it”

really?
