Acceptance

A friend passed away in a car accident yesterday.

Car ulat gai motorway pe. She dies of a head fracture - she was unconsious at first but the hospitals nearby didnt have the right facilities.. So by the time she got to the third hospital, she passed away. May Allah rest her soul in peace.

Its sad. We have had pretty close moments. We were in the same classes during one point in time. It is too much to grasp. I found out at 3 am yesterday and the fact that she has passed away is not sinking in.

Please recite Surah Fatiha for her. May God give her family and friends the strength to face this loss, AAMEEN.

What do I blog about?

Hmm.

Here's a thought..

I just cancelled my GRE exam

I saw this man today.. weirdo... another student in my uni. You know one of those looks when men look at you hungrily - you can see it in their eyes. It was sickening. Seriously. He knew some of my acquaintances - he came upto them then. I hated him - eww. u know - i didnt realize someone's presence could disgust me so much!

Eids coming up!!

I think i like cats now - they are so fluffy and adorable but they do still scare me.

I met a dog this week called Twixie! Adorableeee!!!

I bought two sarees this week - gorgeous man!!

I have a winnie the pooh ka mat! :)

I am going to watch desperate houswives now :D

or maybe work on my applications :)

Buh bye!!

Whatcha doin?

The Austrian Incest Case - The Real Bastard (WTF)

This is another post for the WTF column. ( If u wanna know more about the WTF column, click here )



Joseph Fritzl, the real bastard, says, "I am sorry; I cant make it right anymore."



Yeah, right. That is SOO just SHOO sweet Mr. Fritzl - that is exactly what we want to hear. Bloody hell.




You RAPED your OWN DAUGHTER constantly for 24 years. Oh no, here's the damn catch, you have been sexually abusing her since she was 11. She tries to run away when she was 16 but came back again. (of course, where can she really go?). At 18, she tried to run again. She came back. You locked her in the basement! And then on for TWENTY-FOUR years you kept her in a dungeon. Seriously?





And oh, you are sorry! Damn your ass Mr. Fritzl. Even if you are mentally sick - which I am sure you are - nothing you did is justified! You deserve to be castrated repeatedly - I wouldnt mind personally doing the honors.

People such as him should be treated in such a way that its an example to the rest of the potential criminals. And what about his wife?Seriosuly! One messed up man and wife!

You can see the manhoosiyat on his face.

tring Tring!!

Hello!!! I attended A's wedding over the weekend! A is one of my closest friends. Please join me in praying for her - May she have a wonderful life ahead (and May you do too) AAMEEN. :) There were roses on her wedding! I lovvvve roses!!

Beautiful Shot

Lovely portrait! The woman has so much elegance.. I love the simple, happy feel of the picture!!

I think the picture portrays a happy womanhood you know... a jolly, happy, smiling life.

I wanna photograph like that!! :)

Fever

Yeah she does!

Brrr. I rested the whole day!! Yeah its better - cudnt sleep at all last night!!

Pray for me :)

Naureen.

Fluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Hey,

I have flu.. what else do u expect to happen when u go out in the lahore cold and thandi hawa after taking a bath. I covered my head but thought i didnt look 'cool' so i took off the shawl :P

Man,
I have had fluuu!! Half an hour to go and then a meeting at 7 today... i think i am gonna rest.

Had a really romantic lunch today. Stop. Romantic means eating lunch in the winter breeze. I had a light lunch. I have started hating the crowded PDC. its so loud and annoying! yeah. I sat on a bench in a garden and had lunch :D Yayy! And yes, i was alone :P

maybe i should make myself some coffee right now? Hmmm.

WTF?

Hello. This is my first WTF post. It is basically Naureen saying "what the fuck?" to things that seem outrageous, unjust, unfair, and twisted.

If you see me talking about it in person, I will probably have a frown, a tight jaw, rage in my eyes (its not pretty!) and will probably be saying through clenched teeth, "Seriously? They are SO fucked up! Who the hell do they think they are. Its not fair"

Yeah yeah thats life and blah blah. BUT i believe, if u can kick ass, kick it while u can! And sometimes, give these inequalities personified a good kick in the ass (be it male or female)

Yeah, thats my violent streak :p

So here goes...

WTF 1: Female Genital Mutilation

Yes. they cut parts of female genitals in some countries. It is advocated by social sanction. It is said to decrease adultery as a female does not get the privelege of feeling sexual pleasure after this.

They do it to infants. I mean, infants for God's sake? Females going through it go through a lot of pain within and after these procedures. Most of them dont take medical precautions (I am still not clear on this though). You know, after these procedures - child birth is hell for these women. Urinating for some is still a problem.

How can u rip a girl off her own rights to her body and security? It is said to be a sign of chastity if girls go through these procedures.

Some say Islam allows it, but this site looks into it. Chastity, virginity, social values - u know whats fascinating. Culture sometimes cloaks religous values and ideas - yup. And it still claims to be 'righteous'.

Human beings can do really fucked up things. I mean dude, seriously!!

Love is a beautiful thing

I LOVE this song - it speaks to my heart.

I love the feeling in this song and in the voice. The original is by Al Green but i also love the Krystal Harris version.

I couldnt post the video. So here's the link

:)
Love is a beautiful thing.

Sadness

I think i like being sad sometimes. Sometimes, i just am. Coz the things pain can teach u, happiness cant and vice versa.

I hope i never stop being thankful for what I have. I like being aggressively positive and to make things work out - to carve my life out the way I can. I like wonderful things in life. I want wonderful, big things in life. I want to make a difference in this world and no, not through a paris hilton song :p but through my own work which feeds my soul!!


Yeah, yeah, yeah!!1

Optimist, annoying happy one

I never felt the value of sorrow until today....

AB had a tweet about how being grumpy makes u have clear thinking while the annoying happy ones dont have some qualities that grumpy people do...

I never realized how much staying happy meant to me.. until now. I can feel the blood pumping through my veins, the excitement when i am happy.

When i am sad, i have a lump in my throat. Have tears pouring out of my eyes even while working... in the days that i am sad, i can feel the very things that hold me together - the lump in my throat is giving away my being, my life - its a surrender. The heaviness in my heart keeps me together i think. I can feel the core of me. the hold it has on my being and the fact that it is keeping me from breaking down.

I dont wanna be a pessimist, it depresses me.=. I believe in a thing called love :)

Love,
Naureen

I WISH I HAD PEOPLE COMMENTING! :p
