resolutions

Todays the 23rd of March – Pakistan resolution day. It feels like a good day. Lazy Sunday. Except I have strat plan to work on. I've done the thinking and made the drafts, now its time for the re-drafting and the data to start talking.
 
It's a nice day… we had chicken qorma & sheermal for lunch which is like my dream lunch always.. and ami had made some soufflĂ© type bread pudding which was out of this world.. especially the roasted almonds she'd sprinkled on top.. yummmm..
 
I get very excited about food. That's the one thing I ALWAYS get excited about. Its wonderful.. being able to get excited about something that's so satisfying on so many levels.
 
24th of March, Monday 2008
 
And so a whole day went by.. I just had aalo matar gajar ki bhujia on a toasted toast… I LOVE toaster ovens. They have the power to make anything taste fresh and crunchy. Wayyy better than microwaves. I generally love life. I think it's a grand old thing.
 
I hope & pray that Allah mian continues to bless us all.. have to shuttle between cities again tomorrow morning.. did I mention work never ends J I think I did..
 
Anyway.. its hot. And theres no electricity .. sigh sigh…
 
Catch you guyz later..
 
Cheerios

sunny side up

My dad always used to say "work never ends, you have to have the self discipline to put it aside for the day and focus on your family".
 
he was right. no matter how much you do.. it NEVER ends.. i can make calls and send emails from morn till night and even into the middle of the night (which i have done) but it still goes on.
 
sigh sigh sigh :) what to do..
 
Karachi is in full blown spring.. its got the sun scorching the pavements.. the sky is a dusky blue. I can hear the sounds of hammers and shovels from the construction going on outside. The sun is lightly filtering in through my vertical  blinds. I hate the mouse pad on my laptop. Every time I am typing it suddenly lands the mouse cursor somewhere else and it is so IRRITATING..
 
And I'm hungry again. Can you imagine.. I'm always hungry.. these days I was trying to do this low carb diet regime which essentially involves getting rid of rice and roti.. apart from that I can have everything.. and no refined carbs .. so no pasta and white bread also.. I love Nandos because of that.. I eat as many peri bites as I can and now that they've launched their steak thingy, I love it even more.. didn't like having to handle all the bones in the chicken..
 
And the new love of my life is hummous.. I LOVE hommous.. I go to BBQ 2nite and I order hummous without any olive oil and cucumber and lettuce leaves and I eat and eat and eat.. and I love the white chicken karahi as I mentioned earlier..
 
I have always been very food centric :) cant help it .. small joys :)…
 
I wanted to see Enchanted and National Treasure Book of Secrets..  but apparently if a movie is on at the Cineplex, they don't release it on DVD here.. that was funny :( I'm not happy about that.. I really wanted to see a good romantic comedy and Enchanted not only has McDreamy in it, its also got James Marsden who I adore.. :)
 
Ok.. me off now.. let me think of what to eat next…
 
Cheerios

fascination

ive always loved talking to myself. i guess thats what this blog is now.. my dialogue with myself.. no one else comes here anymore.. they all gave up on me and moved on long ago.. so now its just me and my semi-headache.. i dont know why i have this headache. i slept in the afternoon. and i thought it was a great bit of sleep. expecially since i was very very sleepy after having stuffed my self full of white chicken karahi at BBQ 2nite.

i've been a very lazy person when it comes to the personal side of my life. :) i wont get into the gory details.. but lets just say i got a long overdue hair cut this morning and thats just the tip of the iceberg..

kids grow really fast.. literally in the blink of an eye.. its unbelievable. and fascinating... it takes up alot of time but its still a lovely experience. tiring though...

i havent had time to think. i feel like an octopus juggling EVERYTHING :) i know there will soon be a time when i look back in wonder & amazement at how i managed to do it all... hopefully there wont b any regret.. i havent had time to feel any yet..

Taare zameen par was an amazing movie... the song "maa" is a heartbreaker.. i love it... i love my mother.. meri maa :) shes a character.. we both miss abu sooo immensely. every minute of every day.. its incessant.. a deep gaping hole that we cant ever fill.. we just loved him soo much.. his second barsi will be here soon.. i cant believe it.. i still remember every minute & every second of the last few days... the great part is i also remember all the great years since i was born... i love abu... & i love ami...
i like being back.. me, myself & my blog world :)

cheerios
