Atlast, the play is over. I’m filled with a combination of ecstaticness and grief. There were strikes all three days of our performance – despite that, quite a few people showed up – pretty cool.
South end is a pretty safe venue. Secure and that sort of thing. School’s come back with a vengeance. Turns out they wanna end the semester before ramzan which means cramming 4 months work into just under 3 months – ie, 6 classes a week. Talk about exhausting. And all new courses, so at a loss for what to do. Falling behind in a big way.
My Atkins endevours are still going strong, have lost 10 pounds so far, Mashallah. Good feeling, I say.
Also turning 25 next week – want to party, but look at these ridiculous halaat! Can’t do nothing these days without fearing being shot, kidnapped, … or worse, put into a burkha!Can’t believe half the year has gone by. Starting to get older.
On the upside, despite the heat, loadshedding, and semi fires in switchboards caused by fluctuation, July is bringing a barrage of guests, friends, and family. The down side? Its going to rain, and all the weddings will be washed out! Phoeey.
I’ve just heard about a bomb blast in lahore 
sad. 6 dead. I hope all gets well Inshallah. 400 injured. Scary, I have so many friends in Lahore.
That’s all for today, pretty much.

… KRIS ALLEN!!
I haven’t seen the finale..
But some idiot (Here’s looking at you,POLLY) wrote it on Facebook, and so it was ruined.
Polly is amazed at the fact that the Pakistani public cares more about who won american idol than the internally displaced people of Pakistan…. Guys… There’s a reason why it’s called “american” idol….your opinion doesn’t matter… get back to work !!It is Kris Allen…it was aired in the morning.
I wanted to pretend like it didnt matter and he was probably bullshitting – until six other people posted it and then I screamed because Idol was ruiinneeddd…..
*sob*
anyhow – here’s looking at Kris Allen, The NEw American Idol 2009!

My university has a new rule – your ID card must be displayed at all times. We’d all scoffed and laughed and joked about how the only time we wore it was when we had an exam.
It so turned out there was a story behind this rule – universities recently have taken a sudden liking to calling students in on Sundays. Students obviously protest – a lot of them, including myself work in the day time, and Sunday is the only day we get to sleep. It’s hell to drag yourself out of bed on Sunday and go to school, knowing full well there is a whole week of routine to go back to on Monday.
The story behind this rule was – that as usual, some moronic teacher who clearly doesnt have a life, called a class on Sunday morning. Some students protested and said they didn’t want to take the class on Sunday , but the administration didn’t listen and went ahead with it anyway. The students were forced to take the class because of attendance being mandatory at a minimum of 80% in order to take exams.
The students were rather pissed off, I’m assuming – Some boys called from their cellphones a few times to the reception, giving them a bomb scare – they were hoping that a bomb search would be conducted and school would be let out. It didn’t work. So to scare the administration into cooperation, they went behind school, filled a glass bottle with petrol and stuffed it with cloth, made a mini bomb and threw it. It did explode, but the back of school also caught fire. Luckily they were able to extinguish it on time.
I certianly don’t condone what they did, I think it was a childish and immature way to act, and it was very selfish, given that they could have hurt other people in a fatal manner, and that is unforgivable. But it also should send out a message to universities and the admin that makes the schedules that- DUDE! stop calling students to university on sunday. Everyone needs a day to rest. COme ON! have mercy
ps – i think those students have been suspended. I personally feel they should be expelled

… So , Oh my gosh, I was on TV! EEEEK!
I sound like a complete wannabe/teenybopper/narcissist.
But wow – it was amazing.
Working in the media, I’ve often not been a fan of the glitter and glam – rather never been impressed by it. I’ve seen temperamental stars take out their diva-ism on the poor overworked make up girl, who’s never ending smiles and ability to make small talk amaze me.
But I’d never known what if felt like to be in that chair – having someone work on your face, using a sponge to mask all signs of human imperfection with seemingly effortless streaks. To contour and blend and shadow your eyes pink and smudge with kohl – mascara wanding your eyelashes to enviable heights.
You look glamourous. I’m someone who never uses make up – the transformation was fantastic.
Nerves had started getting the better of me by the time we reached the studio, which was away from the main office – We sat, the four of us, quietly in the dressing room of the studio, listening to the show go on outside.
We were finally getting on air to talk about our play, The Importance of being Earnest – being held from the 23rd to 25th of May, ie Saturday to Monday. That is, THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!
Twenty minutes later – We sat , three camera pointed at us, one tv showing us how we looked , and randomness going on. Phonecalls coming in on the fritz – but after a few minutes of being self conscious, I think we settled in quite well – it was a hell of a lot fun. Talking, laughing, turning myself into cotton candy and marshmallows and bugging the hosts. LOL.
We had a great time.Got in great marketing. What an exciting experience
ps. its true – the camera really does add ten pounds!!!
