lost for words

i have been at a loss for words for many many days now.. i dont think theres anyone left who really cares..
 
frankly our lives have become so busy that no one has time to think of anyone but themselves anymore anyway.. so its not surprising..
 
orkut.. the new breeding grounds of human contact... i know how much we crave human contact... whenever i go to Lahore, my colleagues have to stuff cotton in their ears cause i talk non-stop.. apparently i dont get my fill of human interaction in Karachi...
 
somehow the city is too rushed for my liking and i find myself generally drained of energy and usually sleeping as much as i can to recuperate..
 
the ramzans are treating me well though.. as much as i tried not to eat... who are we kidding... :) i find myself looking forward to the next buffet table as much as the next person..
 
it was anies birthday on the 28th of Sept and we took her to Freddy's.. so we're all sitting around the table (me, funainie, furqi, sallo n mk).. and suddenly sallo goes i just realized im at dinner with 4 single people.. for a second we all looked back at him trying to comprehend who the FOURTH single person was since i'm already hitched and that only left THREE single people on the table.. after about a minute of mesmerized silence sallo realized that he had mis-categorized me in the singles category... to which furqi goes "you can take that as a compliment... you havent changed an ounce from when you were single. no signs of maturity watsoever"... lol... i dont care as long as i can keep laughing...
 
i laugh alot in lahore.. i guess its because they humor me more.. its alot of fun... i love the shopping there too... Liberty rocks.. i bought my sparkly slippers in even more colors.. lol.. i think i've been Comely Shoes's single most lucrative customer...
 
went to the shoot for the Mountain Dew Survivor Pakistan Finale last week... as far Survivors go, i can safely say this was the most surprising vote count in recorded history... i fully agree that there is no mapping of human thought and action.. you will never know whats going to happen till its happend and over with... the entire cast, crew and spectators watched with bated breath as the vote box was literally hacked open (someone forgot to bring the keys to the big fat locks on the crate :) and then the votes counted for the very first time since being cast by the jury.. and as the count happened you could see the stillness steal over the whole set.. lol..
 
that was followed by biryani... (i had two boxes since i hadnt had iftar properly in my mad rush to get there).. and then waved farewell to my courageous survivors... i dont think i'll ever forget these 16 chaps.. it was truly amazing to see them do what they did...
 
My director told me that he was up north shooting something else and he was practically mobbed by the locals in chitral, gilgit, peshawar, etc. since they all recognized him and kept chanting Mountain Dew.. lol... even the PIA staff was really happy to have him on their plane and he said he felt treated like royalty...
 
The show was for the masses... i guess its reached out to them in all the places where PTV has a captive viewership... amazing... :)
 
went to the Arizona grill iftar on saturday with als and fais.. my god we felt stuffed... i couldnt even eat half of the dinner menu.. sighhhh... soo much money spent and it felt like a waste... i think i need to go back there again... must get rid of the feeling that i missed half the food... besidz if my stomachs so small why do i keep feeling fatter...
 
furqi the merchant of doom keeps trying to convince me that i'll be an overweight cow by the time i am 35.. to which i wish back at him that i hope he gains as much of a tond as i do in totality... theres no hope of him getting fat all over, but a beer belly is something most men end up with anyway... hehehe.. he'd better take his horrible predictions back or else...
 
ok i go sleep now.. catch you later bloggy dearest... :)
 
cheerios
