Sameer coming back , against all odds

I left US today on 30th.. (and now at night..this part of the world say that its the night of 31st..My mental time clock is totally screwed)

AGAINST ALL ODDS

My first flight was from Detroit to Newyork at 1:00 pm and i made it to the gate just 15 minutes before the gate closing...I had so many odds against catching this flight . they are all worth mentioning :

• First i got delayed in packing my stuff. i had planned to do it on 29th (the day before my flight) but all of a sudden i had to attend a dinner - it was a goodbye dinner to me :) so i had to attend it , then i had to visit a guy to return him some money, then after coming back from his place i had to go visit him again 'cause he called to inform me that i had given him 20 bucks more.. then i slept late..woke up late..couldnt start packing on time..
  
• had too much stuff to pack. (i went with one bag 1 hand carry. am coming back with two bags, 2 handcarries with 2 jackets on arms)
  
  
• Usually , in my hotel ,at the front desk , people can give you your complete bill whenever you aks them but For my complete hotel bill detail , the front desk lady had to go to get the accountant. a long process that wasted my time
  
• it took time to clean snow from my car.. It snowed that morning..
  
• I took a wrong exit on my way to airport..and in US ,taking a wrong direction can not be fixed very quickly. luckily somehow i got a sense of the road directions (even though the place was new for me) and got back on track again...
  
• Before Returning the car to car rental , we are supposed to fill it up with fuel. When i reached the fuel station , the car's fuel lid was was frozen , it didnt open ...
  
• After fuelling, i was supposed to make a U-turn on the road, the way i take U-turns in USA is that i keep on going my road until i find an empty street on the right side, i drive into that street , take a U-turn there , come back towards the main road , and take a left turn - this results in a complete U-turn.. This strategy didnt work today, i didn't find any street at all on the way forward, all the streets that i got were entrances to some other Car Rental companies . and you can not get your car out easily if you mistakenly enter in there..
• I had two luggage bags, two hand carries and was carrying two jackets.. and i didn't find any trolley in the airport area...i had to take my stuff one at a time.. u know taking few pieces forward, putting them there, coming back to get the rest of the stuff, then moving forward with some parts... The most difficult of this was climbing the elevator..
  
• when i finally made it to the boarding pass issuing area, i was told that one of the bag is overweight.. I had to make some luggage adjustments right there..
  
• there was something in me that beeped in the security door.. even though i had removed my jackets, belt, steel-toe-shoes, wallet, mobile..everything ..the door just beeped...so the guard took me to a side and kept checking me for some 10-15 minutes.. (it was a descent checking - mind you!! )
  
• I kept kept racing the car all the time (even overtook a few cars, a big acheivement for me) , at airport i was running all the time, , remained frantic all the time.. It took me some time to stabilize my breath when i finally reached the destination... (thanks to my motapa)
  
  With so many hands (hands ; the verb , not the noun.), I made it . I got the flight.. Now thats an improvement.. (Reminder: Last time i entirely missed my flight from New York to Detroit). I don't know how i got his flight . some may consider that time stopped for me, some may consider it a CLEAR sign of some divine existence , some may consider it just a coincidence and some may consider it just a part of the the script .
  
  Anyways, I made it to New york near 3:30. ..stayed on airport for some 7-8 hours (with nothing to do).. had an 11 hour flight to Dubai (watched four movies)..and now i am in Dubai. once again i have to spend some 6 hours on the airport here.. :(...
  
  

THE SPIRIT WITHIN

Now when i look on my travel accomplishments...to me it seems i learnt a lot from this trip. Probably i might be able to label my recent life in terms of this trip (like the sameer before the US trip and the sameer after the US trip) ...It was a big paradigm shift in my life.. Thanks to the answer.. (Referring to my last blog).. I am a happy being now.. nothing is eating me inside anymore.. A psychic read me and said that my state is like a tree whose trunk has recently been shaken. The answers i got from the Jean and Don Daughtry were really amazing.

I have realized that people are more important than places..For the first time, i felt i was missing people.. may be i got too social in previous years.. or may be i have improved my relationships.. may be i have started giving more importance to the friendship bonds.

I have also learnt about many new spiritual concepts..new ideas that make sense to me.. new spiritual practices.. new beliefs...

My belief in the script is increasing ... The way things go , and their sequences.. it really amazes me.. Even on this flight that i just had from Newyork to Dubai...well.. there is a Movie - "The Peace full Warrior"... For some unkown reason, i wanted to see the movie.. bus dil karta tha..when i was going to Newyork (in Novemeber) , i thought many times of watching the movie on plane but skipped it every time for some reason or the other.... Now ! when i watched the movie tonight during the flight ... i realized that it had 2 very important messages for me ..which i would not have caught at all , had i watched the movie before the US stay.. i mean.. something that i learnt in US, made me properly understand the message..this sequence of events in my life . it is so amazing... these Lessons - coming in the order they should be ; I just cant call it a coincidence...

Anyways, I am happy that i am going home.. i am happy that I have got "Eternal Sunshine of the SPOTless mind". "SPOT" being the name of my project.. This project had made me extremely busy ..since August .. thanks good that i am not working on this project anymore.. i want to live my life now.. working for 16 hours a day doesnt leave you with a normal life at all..

and oh! My parents are cooking up something for my future ... I feel something coming my way SOON.. a further BIG change in life .. I don't know wether I will be accepting their decision or not. but.. well.. i dont know.. the coming 2-3 days are going to be very important. ... but!!... when i look inside, i dont feel too much motivation in going against their desires ..

PS. oh regarding my achievements , i forgot to mention that i finally learnt how speak the word "pork" , earlier for some reason i couldn't speak it properly .. every time my tongue slipped on "k" , making it an "n"... Just imagine a guy making this mistake at a restaurant enquiring ," Has this stuff got any pork in it?" :)

PPS. pray for me to recover from the Jet Lag soon... i am completely different when my sleep is disturbed..

Sameer gets THE answers

The scripts of my life took me to Jean and Don Daughtery.. An excellent spiritual couple whose life is all full of unbelievable things.. I met these guys at the Psychic Festival . They gave a live demonstration of Consultation in Trance . The way it is does and what it does is that Don (the husband) goes into deep trance and the Jean (wife) asks him the questions which are then answered by Don.. while he is in the deep trance state...

I was lucky to get a free reading ticket from Jean and Don .. I was even luckier to get some help from a guy Harry. Harry happens to be an iridologist (Iridology or iridodiagnosis is an alternative medicine practice in which patterns, colors, and other characteristics of the iris are examined for information about a patient's health ). I got a chance to get my eye examined by him and he told me some health problems that will arise soon if i dont take any necessary precautions.

Anyways, Me and Harry went to see the Daughtery couple at their place.. It was some 40 minutes drive.. and i was really scared by the traffic Jam..

It was a good talk that we had there.. I felt my self all inside a pool of knowledge.. They have a Greeeeeat weatlh of knowledge about things and the good point is that all their concepts are original i.e They have not been derived by any other person's , cult's or religion's teachings but by their own life experiences and their personal abilities which have taught them a lot . Jean has been seeing spirits since her childhood and the guy has been too much regular in medidation, Out of body Experinces and Near Death Experiences..

I had prepared a list of questions with the help of Harry , most of which related to me , my sister and mother... i only had some 55 minutes to ask the questions..cause Don cant stay in his state more than that.

I got satisfied answers to all the question that i had . i asked all the important things that were bothering me ..Especially my biggest problem.. something that has been bothering me for quite some long years. something that had completely changed my view of life, religion , society and everything that relates me for i dont remember how long......there is something that was there and i just could not accept it ..the only way out was to accept it completely and bear the resulting difficult life... but a part of me was not willing to accept it..and i was under some internal conflict that was affecting my life..so i posed this qusetion to Don.... and the answer that i got filled with me with happiness..it was completely according to my expectations....It was so strange an answer that Harry even shouted and requested Don to answer that question again.. And I was all full of Joy , amazement , happiness.. I just wish i could write things clearly... I tend to tell everything about me.. but there are things that i just cant tell , not because i am shy but because of the complexity in understanding it....so.. for you ,my dear reader!! ..the summary is that once again my view on life has changed and its good now.....i just want to share this new joy and happiness with you.. Just feel happy for me..

Haaaaah!!! i finally solved one big issue of life..Now i just wait to get new tensions and problems... Lol...

And i am about to go back to Pakistan.. Now that my purpose to come to USA has been fulfilled, i guess its time for me to leave the place.. .I was thinking of going to the couple again to ask few more things.. to know about my past lives, to know about the unfinished business that i carry from the past lives... but i guess the script doesnt want me to have more knowledge. May be its not needed..

Hmmm!!!.....Its a good script.. I am enjoying it...

Sameer meets psychics in USA

Long ago when i dived into the world of spiritual knowledge , i thought there are not many people in this field ..it was always difficult for me to find people with this same interest and explain the things to those who have no interest in this field at all.... i have seen some people explaining it in a very good way to other...... but whenever I try to do it ..I start feeling stupid myself during the conversation... lol..

when i came here to US , i thought it will be now more difficult to me to tell people about all the spiritual things cause they are so developed and realatively more logical..

but i was wrong.

last week i attended a meditation seminar in a library here.. It was good... its an organization called "Art of living Foundation" which also happens to have a center in Pakistan..in islamabad (which is probably not active)...they gave a good demo of a breathing exercise that they wanted to teach in a course later..it was a good exercise.. but the class is like 200$ (this is special discount for me when i did some runna pitna that i am a visitor and wont be here for long) .. so i am still thinking wether i should go for it not.. havent i already done enough courses...

After the meditatin class i was just checking out the library and i found a magazine there from which i got to know about a Psychic Festival in Sheraton Hotel nearby..

so Today (7 Jan 2007) i went to that Festival...and i was amazed by the size of the crowd and the amount of activities going on.. There were so many things there.. the list goes as:

-Psychic readers and Clairovoyants ,who were using tarrot cards , astronomy , nuemerology , palmistry and so many other things and stuffs to tell you about you....they were charging some 15-30$ for it...i couldnt get time to get a reading.. i regret that...

-People selling crystalized water (based on Dr Emoto's research..RAZA are you reading this..:) ) , they process the water so that it maintains the internal symetrical crystalline structure on the molecular level(even in the liqud form) and then they sell it..... they claimed that a drop of it can be used to convert some gallons of water into having that kind of structure..

-then there were Meditation cassettes by a company that i already know about, Minroe institue.. i dont know wether its a company or a proper institute..they had some CDs that can make you have Out of Body Experience.. the cost was nearly 100$... :(..

-then i met Christian tableeghees who spent some 20 minutes around me to brainwash me in belieiving that in every problem i should call the Jesus name as he is still alive and still listens to us .One woman became very emotional and she gave me some dozen examples of her life in which she was about to have some life threatning accident but all of a sudden she called the name of the Jesus ....and bingo!!! she was saved... in her opinion , that was enough to convince people.. ..anyways, They did a special prayer for me and my family specially my sister....they also asked the holy jesus to cure my throat (i cough a lot.. for no reason at all.. )... it was all free .. they didnt take any money from me.. :) they did take a lot of time from me.... :( ... once i left their stall i didnt go even near to that corner again... and oh!! my coughing never stopped...

-then there were Dianetics people who even took my emotional test through the legendary E-meter ... The lady was so much worried about my mental stress that she was asking me to buy the book again and again.. it was 8.95$ .. could have bought it ..but c'mon !! its available in Pakistan too...probably at a cheaper price..

-then their were full body reiki massages.. there were beds and massage machines and people were getting massages there...

there was so much there.... Free lectures on so many things.. i missed many of them cause i was late.. i still curse myself for being a lazy @$$...

-then there were aura photographers.. one guy was taking aura photograph with a krillian photography tehcnique.. i got my aura picture through a Bio Feed Back Machine.. See my aura below..

This picture comes with a 28 pages report about me .. telling me that i am all fine... there is no problem with me at all.. Shit.. there is no point in wasting your money on knowing that you dont have any problem at all.. lol.. but the 28 pages report is really great.. i always love people talking about me (the main reason why i always miss my Giki time : we , all the TAs, used to discuss ME in our spare time in cafeteria).. so a 28 pages report is really kool...It tells me a lot..

See my aura on the right . According to the report , it seems my chakras , my aura , my yin / yang , my male/female within , my energy levels........everything is balanced.. all my things are in total harmony.. i felt good to know that... good to know that all my chakras are all fine.. good to know that my cough is not because of any problem with throat chakra.. good to know that my too much relocations is not causing any problem to my root chakra.. good to know the reason of my not being able to have an out of body experience -> the lady says that its because i am too much grounded (i dont know what it means..)..... good to know that i have a good amount of connection with the angels up there who are trying to guide me..its even visible (to that lady who took the pic) in my aura picture.. .. the diamond above my head in my aura picture depicts that there is already something going on for my Psychic development, some divine help is already going on..some thing is making way for me.. and yeah! i feel that too.. sometimes i feel as if my life is scripted... its a kind of feeling that somehow someway i always find spiritual people/events ... but its just a thought...

Anyways , i wasted sometime in having the lunch buffet there.. it was 10$ only ..seemed good..was cheap..so i went for it.. but it kinda turned out a waste of time..as i didnt know about the free lectures going on as well in a seperate room...i would have preferred attending the lectures then going for food...

The first lecture i attended was on breathing.. there was some new kind of breathing that the guy was teaching.. a new technique that i really liked..usually we are supposed to use our nose while doing the breath meditataion... but in this technique we used mouth.. the effects were good...

Then there was a lecture on stones... i learnt a good deal about them.. and now i may start this new interest...cause stones are KOOL,,. The lecturer also told a thing of Palmistry...according to which, it seems , i am carrying a big amount of knowledge from my past lives...

Later, I attended a demonstration of consultation during Trance...where a man went in trance in front of audience and told us that there will be a polar shifting in 2018 .. he told us about its effect on Michigan ....he predicted that there wont be much loss in michigan..the north pole will shift by 45 degrees...there will occur some difference to the number of hours in a day ..probably an additino 2-3 seconds.....and a few more things will happen that i have forgotten....They had a Qura_andazi too .. in which they offered a free reading to one of lecture participants.....and lucky me ...i won a 220$ free reading .. i.e the guy will go in trance specially for me and i will be asking him the questions......so i will be knowing about MY future soon....or probably i will just ask about my present..that is of more interest to me...My present and the information that i carry from my past lives...

It was a fun festival.. I still curse myself for going late.. would have done so many other things.. would have learnt so many other things.. but well. i guess..may be it was scripted that way.... that was best for me..cause if i had known more ,it would have taken me longer to post this blog..lol...

one month remaining...

New year passed , bari eid passed, my birthday passed.. first time out of country...out of Pakistan.. These celeberations are already boring; i mean, i already complain about these days as being boring,but this time it was boring than ever before....

We were/are having very narrow deadlines for the current project...so we worked non-stop without a break..for nearly some 28 - 29 consecutive days.... There were no weekends, no holidays, no breaks etc..i had started getting my latent depression getting over me....infact i guess it did.. i dont think that is the proper way to work on a project..a break is always needed to increase productivity...thats not what i say , thats what psychology says. .. you always need to spend some time out of the box..

Anyways , we finally had a break ...a long one.. on christmas..starting from 23rd Dec to 1st Jan..most of the part of this vocation was spent in bed......Three people from Pakistan NCR left .two are not billable on project anymore (they wont return) .. so i am left with just one person to hang around with.. Its really boring..

The only great thing that has happened is my own car.. i finally rented a car.. a Chevy HHR.. i guess its 2000 CC...Its great.... more than enough for all of my requirements.. has a roof window , automatic gears, remote ignition (that is you can start/ignite the car engine from the remote ) , seated heats , a big diggie.. its a complete comfort... i am gonna miss this car later....i wont be able to enjoy THE PRINCESS at all when i will return to Pakistan..

There happens to be an Auntie of mine who lives nearby .. at a distance of some 35 minutes .each time i visit her my driving time decreases.. Driving is very very easy here.. but i am always scared .. especially on free ways/high ways.. Visiting my auntie was the only good thing in the vocations.. the only time i could conversate with people for long times.. She is in US for some 26 years now..and her children are all Americans now..

Google map is a real fun thing now. i visit a certain place and then keep on looking it on map for sometime to see all the area around.. its really beautiful , the way it shows all the roads and building , amazing.. i always take my driving directions from there..

In the vocations , i once visited the Detroit Science Center.. It was amazing.. I finally saw I-MAX cinema there; something i had planned before coming to US...an I-MAx cinema covers nearly the complete vison angle... in a normal cinema when you just you just look in front on a flat screen .. in an I-MAX , the roof is the screen .so you sit and rest your head on the head rest and look slightly upward.. Its really Amazing..I might visit it again before leaving..if i will get time..

I have started feeling really bored now.. want to go back to Pakistan.. This place is good .. its really beautiful and all organized.. but i dont have friends here..

Work started again.. soon i will be all busy .. but my countdown has started..today is 2nd.. i have to stay here till 31st.. 30 days remaing...

Right now i am in office.. there is no task to do right now.. but when they will start coming , it will be like raining..i wont have anytime or life then..

Ali bhai blogged about our newyork trip on his blog here . Ali bhai is my colleague in NCR... basically my batch mate.. happens to have very good knowledge about every topic of the world.. He has written a very very very very long narration of all that happened in Newyork.. (still his post doesnt beat Raza and my war on Professor Eugito mototo or whatever ) ...thanks Ali.. His long boring narration has become funny with my slight interruption in the writing.. (those who have been reading for long can easily find my touch there :) )...

And you people can see my pics here.. and of my car here .. see some more here in the order they are ..do give some attention to the captions ...they explain a lot...

Sameer is working in America

I am at office.. at the Daimler Chrysler's office.. Its all silent. i am just hearing the sound of people tapping the keyboard keys . they are all busy. I am free and am waiting for someone to leave so that i may leave too..  I dont have my car yet... :(

Its night.. It was raining outside in morning.. not sure wether its raining now.. work is there... and i should be the last person to complain as i am the one with lowest amount of work load.. but still.. I complain..there is too much work...even if i am free after 13 hours of work

my stomach is so full... Had an omelete in morning...with apple juice..then had fruity yougurt -Banana and strawberry mix . Its tasty and You can find the fruit at the bottom of the cup... had a chicken with tomoatoe in lunch.. it wasnt tasty.. Just a plain chiken piece with some tomatoe on top of it and some boiled vegetables along it.. Ali bhai had turky pot... that was better.. it tasted like the usual curry food that we have in Pakistan... that was tasty ...Food here usually contains boiled items..no spices..

Had a green apple later in evening .that was tasty. and then there were lot of choclates.. There is a very kind lady in my project who usually brings left overs from the Office Parties for us... Yesterday , she took us to a party left over areas..where i ate a lot..Today shebrought choclates for us from a meeting.. we ate so many of them.. .. and i am feeling so full of choclates right now.. :).. i may not have dinner tonight...

I dont like this growing tummy  of mine now. day before  yesterday , i broke my trouser's button.. now thats a clear signal of the coming storm.. I am eating too much here.. much of it for the sake of TRYING it.. but now I want to reduce even though i am not fat by the local standards.. i mean, in America a person like me is not  considered fatat all.. There are real FAT people here.. and oh my gosh!! there are too many of them..and oh my gosh! they come in all genders, shapes ,sizes and colours.. :).. so i am happy that i got my name removed from the category of FAT people without doing any effort.. :)

Oh.. and i got a mobile now.. bought it on black friday..but it wasnt working uptil now.. got it working yesterday.. if you wanna call me email me and i will send you my number.. :) .. but  what the hell.. most of the times i am unreachable... the place where i work is in the basement... and there are no mobile signals here.. Telecommunication system is not very good here.. I feel Telecom system is better in Pakistan...Its cheaper and is proper.. Here i buy a calling card for 5 dollars .. use it to call home.. it claims that i can talk for more than an hour.. but it always ended up giving me some 15-20 minutes..  I have used Long Distance Calling Cards in Pakistan, they mess up too but not as much as these American cards..

What else...the weather report says that it will snow here on friday..

oh and the work report says that i will be coming to work on weekends too... Probably there wont be any free weekends till Christmas..

I am feeling sleepy.. there are talks now in office.. my project people are working. i am not..i dont know what they are working on.. but i am here and waiting and wishing them to leave.. cause i wanna leave too but i need a ride to my home..

 Oh! Chuck is leaving..me goes to catch him.. :)

Sameer has reached US

so i reached US on morning of 15 Nov. I landed on New York JFK Air Port.. where my entrance in US had to be registered with the US security department ... It is something that i was very scared of from the very start.. They usually take a long time to check non-US citizens.. and it is recommended to have a gap of atleast 4 hours before the next flight from JFK to Detroit because the time taken for checking is usually that long...but in my case, my flight was the only flight that landed on the airrport.. so i was kinda lucky as there were no long lines..i was the first one in my line..then the whole  procedure went quite smoothly, i was all clear in some 45 minutes...great!!!!...

 

but then i had nothing to do.. so i just roamed around the airport...checked my next flight terminal , got the boarding pass from there.. I didnt checked in then as there was no point going inside cause they dont let you come out once you go in..

I started feeling tired very soon.. so after having lunch , (Rice with Sweet and Sour Chicken) I slept on the bench for a while. My flight was near 2 , i started going towards my terminal near 1:20.. i thought it was a reasonable time for me to reach the GATE ..... I was wrong..

In the Airport , there is an air train that takes you from one terminal to another..There i asked the lady at duty about my terminal ..she asked me about my flight and when i told her...She exclaimed.."Hey you have already missed your flight".. Scared!!! i ran... i ran to my terminal ...reached there.. but oh there was a checking first ...a complete checking that required removal trouser belt, shoes and laptop from its bag...err..they wasted my time.. then i ran again ..at a very good speed.. but even then when i reached the gate, i was informed that my flight had been closed... I was late by minutes only..

:(

 

 

i then had to take another flight..... blah blah blah!!!!

 

 

(writing the rest of it on 29 NOV)

 

well .. i didnt get enough time to update my blog.. the story continues.. I reached to Detroit near 9. where my team welcomed me at the airport.. Then i was taken to my hotel after food... My hotel is different than the other team mates.. cause there was no vacant room in thier hotel.. so they are staying at Marriot Spring Suites and I am staying at Embassy Suites.. and i beleive my hotel is better...Its two big rooms.. and the bed room has got a real big window from where i can see the highway .. so i really enjoy seeing Amreeka from there.. :).. Detroit is a cool place.. both in terms of exclaimation and the weather conditions..  :)

 

What else... We were not allowed to have a free weekend the first weekend of my arrival... and then all of a suddent there was this four day leave of Thanks Giving in which we had a trip to NewYork..

NEWYORK

NEW YORK is a city full of people..

we visited Empire State Building. we wanted to go on top of the building but the que was two hour long so we dropped the idea.. we planned to see the Statue of Liberty but we didnt have enough time to reach to that area from where we can atleast view it.. :( .. We went to see the Rock Feller Center, its a high building and they too have an observatory on top of building to see the whole Nework.. there werent too many people in que as its a new observatory and not every one knows about it..

 

Thats it.. There is too much that i want to write.. but i cant.. i dont have time. I have to call so many people..i cant.. i dont have the calling card ..I got a prepaid mobile connection last Friday..It has not been activated yet..seems that Telecom Services are better in Pakistan...I dont think I will be getting my own car soon cause i am a bit afraid of driving here...besides i havent driven automatic cars before..but i guess that shouldnt be a much problem.. The only problem is to shift to the left handside driving ...and the new kinda traffic signals/rules...

I havent enjoyed much healthy time here.. I have been coughing for so many days...My sleep is not proper yet.. I am still underslept..

 

People are really nice here...you usually find strangers greeting you and giving you a smile.. Most of the people happen to have a sense of humor.. a very well developed sense of humour... They are friendly and cooperative..  

In few days , i dont think i will have any time for internet... even right now i am typing this all because Informatica (software that i work on) crashed and it locked the mapping that i was working on .. Somebody is trying to get it fixed.. and i am making use of the time to write...

Sameer goes to US Part 2.(On flight : Dubai to NewYork - date:15 November Time: i dont know)

I am on my flight to New York.. (uff!! i am so happy to write it).. its a 14 hours + flight .. I have never ever had such a long travel before..not even a land travel..

I guess i didnt write much about the reason of my travel in the part 1 of this post.. here it goes: I am working on a project for an american company DAIMLER CHRSYLER FINANCIAL SERVICES. Its a financial services provider of a car manufacturing company.. It was/is because of this project that my online life is not active for a long time. Since August , I am continuosly busy..but oh thank God (IIE) , atleast i was called onsite .....  From a pessimist point of view, this is not very great, cause i had been working like a donkey offsite till now.. (even my weekends and legal holidays were on) .. and now that there is rest on the offsite team and the work load focus has shifted to the onsite team, i have been called onsite..the onsite team has already started working on weekends from now on.. Its going to be a difficult job i tell you...I am seriously expecting that i will fall ill soon..But from an optimist point of view , HEY MAN!! i am going to America ...  i dont care what they make me do there.. :)

[If you think that the words Pessimist and Optimist have been wrongly placed, then sorry.. I know the meaning of both but i am not always sure which means what..so kindly make that adjustment yourself for your 'READING PLEASURE']

 

In recent past, a few things happened which i missed to blog, thanks to the my project... Let me just recall..

My Family Life:

 My sister had a very major life/death operation...Doctors who operated her said they would not have been able to save her had she been half an hour late.. it all happened on her Eid Days in Ireland.. She is fine now .. is resting now..not as much as my mother and I want her to .. I just hope she will heal and recover soon..

Personally i feel my bonds with my family is getting stronger now....Its a new change... Its a new me.... I just dont feel very good to see my parents' condition now...The fact that they are old is very apparent now..They too have realized this and thats why they are urging me to get married soon.. but now with my sister's recent condition they have once again forgot about my marriage plans.. :)

Anyways, i have also started feeling very social.. I am very excited on my travel ,  but i am also feeling bad for missing a few things like seeing my sister this december when she will come to Pakistan, Missing a good friend's wedding this weekend, missing meeting my very good friend and an ex-mentor who will come from France to Pakistan for a few days, missing the new-hire party at my office for which the office people have already collected money from me :(..

 

My Psychic Life:

My Psychic life is improving now.. Finally i have started picking words what the other peoples are about to say..It doesnt happen all the time..The frequency is once a week ..but the point is that it has started happening ..now when i am not meditating any more.... Oh! and I had a dream in which i saw myself present in US ..this dream was out of blue.. i mean there were no chances of me going to US  .. and exactly that same day my tech lead told me there are chances that i will be flying to US.

 

My Princess Life:

Princess has started behaving better now.. I had no problem in Ramzan .. but just last week , the generator belt was broken.. I have now posted a FOR SALE notice on it and after my return from US, i will be selling it through newspapers ads.. I was definately going to give this ad on this sunday's JANG.. but i could not do it because of this suddent travel. Oh, and i found the problem atlast.. It wasnt the car all this time.. it was the mechanic..

 

Office and Travel Arrangements:

There have been too much work in office..There was no official leave for me to prepare for my travel. I was assigned work as if i was not to do any travel preparations at all. It was really troublesome getting my International Driving License, and a air breaker jacket and other important travel arrangements.. The most difficult thing was to get things done from Office.... I had to inform a few people at office about my travel and had to ask them to permit me a few things like increase in credit card limit, travel advance money etc. etc. but things went at a pace slower than my expectation..I hope i will receive all the approvals and the money soon..

Back to the present:

The plane shakes like shakira every now and then.. but its a comfortable flight.. An Emirates flight it is..Had heard so much about it..Food was good..I dont know why arent there any AEROPLANE FOOD restaurants in the world.. I watched ICE AGE 2 .. didnt enjoy it very much as I was not feeling very well.. but its a good movie.. I would have enjoyed it more had i been fine.. I am sleepless for past few days...I just hope my sleeplessness and my happiness of going to America ---Comibined, they wont trigger any thing.. I just hope my depression will remain in control.. though i wont mind getting slightly maniac :) ..trust me...Its a great feeling when you are a maniac..:) ... Oh..i just saw the map of the flight, and they showed Tampere in the map.. Bodz!!! I just passed your area!!..and hey man!! i am really sorry for not being able to socialize much with you..

 I am losing the sense of time and space.. what is the time here..what is the time in Pakistan..is it night outside..i dont know much..Will be writing something on my pocket notebook ..

The laptop battery is going down.. so me goes ..

And yeah!! i have decided that i will write my blogs in a single go..  the WRITER inside me doesnt let me post things without a million reviews and tweaking... but i am tired of so much reviewing of text.. So now you are going to read my raw thoughts..

This is my first post through Windows Live Writer.. Lets see how it appears on my blog...

Sameer goes to US

I am on karachi Airport ..waiting for my flight to DUBAI.. will be going to New York from Dubai and then from New York to Detriot , Michigan....


YAHOO!!!!

I am so excited about it..

They told me 5 days ago that i have to reach US on 16 Nov. Happy i was but travelling has always been a tensed thing to me..and international travel.. come on man thats a MEGA tension..

so since 9 Nov, i have not been able to sleep properly either because of some stupid sleeping arrangements + happiness. The first night i kept thinking of US... was completely unable to sleep.. I am still somewhat suffering from the sleep loss.. You know , i do crazy thing when my sleep is not complete... I always have to take GOOD care of my sleep wake cycle.... and i never manage to do it.. :)

Past months were very busy.. Too much work.. Too much work... i , at last, had started missing my life.. was kinda bored of my work routine too... was kinda frustrated because of that one irritating person of my project team who works a lot more than me in the same time.. Living with extra efficient people is not new to me.. I have tolerated many of them in GIKI.. i still remember people who used to study double than me in half the time i used to study .. (that multplies their efficiency with 4).. but this guy, this irritating guy I am talking about .... does not irritate me with his efficiency but with his talk...he talks, and talks and talks..and i really thank Gid whenever he leaves...

Shit.. i have to catch my fligh...

Busy again

I am busy again.. Last two weeks went good.. My trips to Rahat continued.. :) ...

NEW THINGS

I watched the play Dally in the Dark , it was great... First play of Shah Shrabeel that i really liked ... .. was really funny... An old friend of mine was the Assistant Director of the play..I just hope he will offer me some good role (probably leading) in his upcoming play... :).. Uff!! i am so full of talent..

Oh!.. i bought a new mobile.. along with a new SIM..., Warid number..its so great.. now i am able to easily talk with anyone right while sitting in my office or in my home.. I am also keeping that pathetic mobilink connection as well.. but it is there just for the number.. Warid is really great.. Its very cheap and the sound quality is great...


PRINCESS

What else .. yeah!! Princess has gone really bad.. i gave it to the meachanic last saturday.. got it back this thursday..i.e it stayed with mechanic for 6 days.. :)...... Will start efforts to sell it soon.... i was coming to office yesterday, took a turn on a square...and when i had turned enough , the steering refused to come back.. as a result the wheels remained in the turned position.. and my car kinda started circling on the road.. :).. A motorcycle bumped into the car..and there were some angry screeching sounds of a few cars.... it could have become a really BIG accident but thank God nothing big happened...


OFFICE

Office work has become more demanding.. :(.. i even came this saturday (yesterday) and worked till 12:30 (midnight i.e) .. and now i am here again...on sunday... :(


HEALTH

I hope to reduce some weight this Ramadan.. but its just that these days.. my old desire to eat good and to eat great (in terms of amount) is coming back.. and in every Ramadan there are so many parties to attend.. waisay i am looking forward to have iftaris in office.. Thanks to the project deadlines..

FUN TIME

I have recently started watching FULL METAL ALCHEMIST these days.. its good...and i have also started playing Diablo 2.. but what the hell i cant install on my system at home.. ... :(... I told a guy in my office that i have starcraft at home and he got really excited about it.. I brought it for him the next day and then we had a 1 on 1.. which I won after having a tough time.. :).. I enjoyed it a lot.. I wish i could play it on BNET... Bodz! you are so lucky that you are able to play it on BNET..


ok.. me goes to home..to prepare for my first Sehri..

A weekend spent well

This weekend i got my room cleaned.. it was a four hour procedure.. in which i removed all the stuff from my room.. got it cleaned..then got the mat cleaned.. then placed things inside with a different setting.. Now i cant watch the TV when i am sitting on bed... A stupid configuration that i will change soon...

I had Rahat ka Pizaa on both the days of the weekend.. Rahat.. my old love .. is coming back to life.. :)..

and i had a fancy hair cut.. Razar hair cut...a cut in which the hairdresser uses a razor instead of a scissor to cut the hairs.. This give a Rough look (How? i dont know..the hairdresser told me so) .This new hairstyle requires shining gel to give a good look but i do not use gel, so the style is not looking as great as it should... so i do not look Rough .(whatever it means)..

The weekend was spent well.. i enjoyed it.. i also watched Xmen III.. [Spoilers ahead] didnt like it much.. There was no point in killing Xavier.. He didnt die a heroic death...and there was no point in killing Cyclops either..and there wasnt much contribution of the phoenix idea to the whole story plot.... The whole story was ok without her.. Khair.. the effects were good.. i was only happy for rogue for losing her powers... :)... She deserved it... :)

and there was a mouse in my bathroom's commode (WC) this morning.. an alive mouse ..or may be rat...or whatever... it was trying to come out but was slipping again and again.....i hope it wont be there when i will reach home..

3 more parties

The parties never ended...

6th Septemeber... Wednesday

On Wednesday...We , the whole project team , went to Pappa Sallys for lunch.. to celeberate the birthday of the youngest person in our batch.... on his expense offcourse... :) We had very very tasty Pizzas.. The Pappa Sally's Pizza's are a hell lot better than Pizza Huts'..

7th Septemeber.. Thursday

A friend of mine is leaving NCR.. He was in my NCR batch... He has been offered a very good post from an other company and so he is leaving ...We gave him a Lunch at Lasania...

8th Septemeber.. Friday

Today , i enjoyed some left over food .. :)... Some Goras visited NCR this week..and food was served to them in our recently constructed Cafeteria.. The food services were provided by Trimutsu.. A new restaurant in blue Area which i havent tried yet....but i have heard its very expensive.. The food was great..


I FOUND SOMETHING

Well.. I guess i havent mentioned on my blog yet that i lost some 7 Kgs recently.. but OH thanks! to all these parties.. i have gained it all again... :)...i have found what i lost..... :)

Four days of Party

Last week was full of parties.... All related to my office life..

Thursday 31 Agust

First there was a gathering on the expense of our Program Managers.. At Planet X.. but we didnt watch any movie there... :(..it was just food..

Friday 1st Sept

Then there was a Reward Acheievement Celeberation the very next day... A new tradition has started here to celebrate the acheivements of people every month..

Saturday 2nd Sept

It was Fauzan's Waleema on Saturday..He is a part of my ETL team.. He was lucky to get his days off right at the climax time of the project....... I reached on his Walima at a time when most of the people had already left.. Thanks to my princess.. the tyre punctured on way..I hate changing tyres... Luckily the spare tyre was fine.. (Last time i had a tyre puncture and the spare tyre was found punctured too)... but unluckily i was unable to pull the tyre out.. It took me some 15 minutes just to pull the tyre out of its place from my car's trunk..the CNG kit installed there provides too little a space for the tyre to come out.. and i had to exert all my super power to pull it out..

but that was only one hard part.. the other was when i tried to unscrew the nuts of the punctured tyre.. I kept trying to unscrew them for some 15 minutes but they remained tight.. The poor me then asked a Taxi driver for help. The guy parked his car , took the tools from me and unscrewed the nuts with one blow and then it dawned on me that :

"I was applying pressure in the wrong direction ...I was screwing the nuts insteads of unscrewing them"

Khair.. this direction thing is a lesson that i have learnt for ever now..I am never going to forget it again..

The whole tyre changing process took nearly more than one and a half hour...When i reached the wedding hall (PC pindi), most of the people had left..the food time was over .. all i got was some kababs and baryani.... But whatever I am happy that I was atlast able to reach that place...


Sunday 3rd Sept:

Our Organizational hiearchy has changed and the x-program manager of my x-team is leaving for Turkey..so we , the old team, gave him a farewell dinner at Cinemon... It was my 3rd or 4th trip to Cinemmon and i have now kinda started disliking the place.. First of all there is some not-very-decent thing famous about that place which might be just a rumor .. Secondly , their menu is extreme complex .. I always have to think a lot before giving an order..and what the hell.. i always forget the name of the dish that i order at the time it arrives.. lols...:) .. and then i never like the taste of the thing that i order.. and yeah!! the price is always too much.. The place is veryy expensive...

This time i had prawns or shrimps or whatever in starter... I ate one piece and then i asked..

" Do we eat the legs of this thing?"

I got two answers..

1. No.. we dont eat it..
2. Its not a leg.. Its a tail....

i had chewed the leg/tail by the time I got the answer...and just to look decent , I was not willing to throw it out ..so i gulped it.. and then , all the time during the dinner i kept feeling this irritation in my throat... :(

so this was the story of the past few days.. I will be ending bleach (cartoon anime) soon.. will start my spiritual practcies after that hopefully... am completely out of practice for soooooo long...

Oh.. Tomorrow there is a birthday of a friend , another ETL developer of my team... and he has already promised Papa Sallys Pizaa on the occassion.. Wow!! i love celeberations.. :)

Catching up with the deadlines

Finally i see some improvement in my working.. A little help from fourth dimension made me improve my concentration at work... Before that, i was doing so stupid mistakes that my project partners have come up with the name "Sameeri" for stupid mistakes...so whenever anyone makes any stupid mistake we say that he has done a Sameeri... :) ... You see i am building a good reputation for myself... :)

but now things are getting better...i am not doing much Sameeres now... Things are going smooth now..

We are having many parties at GCC these days.. The management is really trying to pump up our motivation level.. but they cant increase my motivation level...I am already so happy here.... :)..I have recently realized that all the people in my team are really lively and full of fun.. The Tech Lead of the team recently returned from USA and he brought a box full of choclates for us.. Now we start our daily 8:30 meeting with choclates.. i dont go to the bakery for the breakfast now... :)..



What else , I am watching bleach these days.. Its really a fun anime... (Anime = Japanese Cartoon).. Its a great anime.. There are spiritual beings (death Gods) who come on earth to kill Hollows (ghosts).. One death God sacrifices her powers to save a boy.. As a result the boy gets all the powers of her..and he has to complete her job of killing the ghosts...very soon his very close friends start developing their own powers because of him... Its a real fun story...with akheeer action and fun... DO watch.

Fits of laughters

Its been more than 2 weeks..I am sitting at the same place with same people..and i sit here from 8:30 in the morning till late night.. ..same faces that i see daily..I admit its fun ..more fun than seeing different faces each day..cause i happen to have very lively project partners...but every day when i wake up in the morning , i dont feel the begining of a new day..Its seems i am still passing a long day...May be i am not resting enough!!!

The project is going great...enjoying the company of my project partners is a real treat..and I am getting my usual fits of laughters like my very old days..there are some stupid funny statements which make us all very excited...we laugh whenever someone of us says that and we say it frequently.....it continues like this the whole day....and we keep laughing regularly...reminds me of my GIKI TA ship times...reminds me of one specific time when I and Kashif Bhatti had a long laughter that i guessed lasted for more than 15 miutes..may be more..I guess i never had a laughter longer than that ..and we were laughing because i gave him my reason of not playing starcraft on battlenet (multiplayer) ..basically it was a comment that my allied player gave me when i failed to protect his base..I had more than a dozen dragoons ( a strong fighting unit) but unfortunately I was not very sure of what to do with them...My ally's base was under attach and i was supposed to help him with my draggons..When the guy realized that I wont be able to reach to his base in time (cause i was having trouble in crossing a bridge..the dragoons are big units and with big units you can not cross the bridge so easily) he left the game after leaving a message for me.. . At first glance, It looked like an advice of what to do with those dozen dragoons.. unfortunately i didnt know the meaning of one of the english word in the message..so i , while playing the game , specially checked my electronic dictionary to see the meaning ...thinking it will help me win the game...and i found it it was an abusive term.. ..lol..

..and after I told this whole thing to Kashif Bhatti...we laughed like hell for so long....It was night..we had to go to sleep but we were standing in the doors (our rooms' entrances faced each other).... I had to finally sit on the floor cause i was laughing so hard that i was impossible for me to keep standing............Those were great days ....the best time of my life... I wish i could go back..I wish i could go back to Giki... back to that time.. with all those friends.... atleast for once more in my life... The time that i am having now is great too..but those memories ..that time ..it has set a benchmark for me.. a benchmark to compare happiness level...


I am happy that i got all those laughters back...but Oh God !! i am feeling so nostalgic...

Haste makes waste

My days are still passing with LOADS of work...with me increasing my own workload by doing stupid mistakes...Thanks to my habit of getting tensed, i try to work quickly and end up doing mistakes like working on the wrong things, importing wrong tables in the database, deleting the main target tables instead of the temporary tables.... so with my normal work , i also have to spend some extra time to correct things ...... Khair i hope i will soon overcome it.

I have got 3 DVDs games with me now.. Thanks to an assignment initially given by JAhaZZ...but god knows why ....i am always so unlucky with DVD games.. whenever i buy them ,I always have to visit the shop again to get them replaced..even now , the three DVDs that i have are not functioning properly...and a poor guy like me who hardly gets enough time from office these days has to spend some hours trying to make the games work.. Yesterday , i spent two full hours trying to install the games...:( ....the games being ..my all time favourite DIABLO 2 , Black and white 2 and DREAMFALL...

ok me goes...will try to install the games again...i hope to succeed this time.. but i vow now that i will never ever ever ever buy a game DVD again...

Free for a while

Finally i am free...We had a burst of work assignment..which made me work late along with the whole team... The past 6 days (including today's...we had to come office on saturday too) were fun...in a team of four ETL developers., i enjoyed the burden a lot. Its always fun to enjoy life in extreme conditions.. daily meetings at 8:30 am in morning ....leaving for home around some 10 pm at night.. laughing at the most stupidest things around... it was a time spent well....

What else..nothing much to tell..cause nothing new happened in my life..there were just data mappings in my mind for the past few days..

The weekend is here...the monday is off (14th august)...thanks god the assignment ended today.... two free days ahead... and i havent planned anything for such a long period of free time.. but does that matter..its the same even if i plan.. :) .. but i must party a lot...more work is on its way..

and oh God..14 August is coming..i hate listening to crackers every 5 minutes...Its so annoying...

My brother's engagement

This weekend my brother got engaged...finally...!!!! ............and now .. i have become the focus of many staring eyes... ..lol!! :) .. but i am confused ... cause i am really considering a few things...like...is it the right time...should i go for it now..should the girl be of my choice..or should i let it be my parents' choice... should i chose a professional or what....should i accumulate more money before getting married.......... Its such questions.....confusions...puzzling thoughts... that i am having these days.. I havent seen many of my long terms plans materializing..and i kinda dont want to waste my time in planning things..but ....well...err!!!..umm... errr....!!!! ?????...I know i will keep thinking of such things.....

The engagement was on saturday ..the program ended near 12 at night...but we reached home near 4 in morning....this was a big disturbance in my already disturbed sleep-wake cycle..and when my sleep-wake cycle gets disturbed , I become extremely cranky (Chirchira) ...(though sometimes i become quite funny..but its a different mood cycle that i am suffering these days).. so please stay polite with me for a while... :)..its for your own benefit... :)

And I have got a new addiction of a game..SIMS2..Its a beautiful game in which you control lives of different people..you make them go to school , take a bath , play games , have food , clean their home , then they grow up , they marry ..they learn things...etc..etc..etc..the game is full of many fun things...and it is very addictive...it made me stay awake till 3 for 3 consective nights last week...A few days ago It made me sad when a person in my game died..and last night a burglar stole TV and books shelf from my one of the families that i am playing with...

ok me goes now..i am not feeling well as i havent had enough sleep yet..i even took a day off from office yesterday as i was ill...please pray for my health...

oh !! about the princess ..last week its battery generator failed..had to get it replaced...but the fun thing happened last night..when i returned from home (Peshawar) last night and went to Rahat Bakery as the first thing..just to cheer up my motivation that is down because of my illness.....There i was having some snacks while sitting in the princess and i thought to put the keys in the ignition plug..i did that...and after a while i thought i should better get some juice too...so I got out of the car..locked it...and OHHHHHH!!!! I left the keys inside...:(...Now the two front doors of my car have different locks ..one has Suzuki locks other has Toyota Locks....so at that time of night (it was 11:30 pm) i was seen asking people (having Toyotas and Suzukis) to let me try their keys on my car...but no success....after some 6-7 attempts of opening the locks with different keys..i finally had to came home on a TAXI to get a spare key that i have placed at home for such occasions (i have locked the keys inside two times before:) ) ....

Thats all for today...Very soon i will write about a friend who is leaving..(leaving what??) ....Details later...

Me in July 2006

My O my..This is a big gap between the posts....but its not my fault..my desire to stay on the edge of technology made me download FireFox 2.o beta the day it was released..(it was not even on mozilla's main webpage..I had to search for the installation file on tech forums)...then i wrote a long long post and just when i was about to publish it. . ..firefox crashed.... @:..i was so angry..now i have switched back to 1.5.. i dont know why people call firefox stable..

My project is going at snail speed now...with bursts of late office sittings once in a while..I am kinda getting tired of late sittings..so now i usually try to leave office early..thats why no blogging for some time...Today i sat late as i had to call Ireland to talk with my sister... enjoyed some shopping time along with her in ireland markets....

Oh... N E W S .. My brother is getting engaged..this weekend...so I will have to go home.. I might even take a day off from office..

What else..i cleaned my room ..and now it looks better..(cleaner)..i have also bought an ironing table and now my room is more filled with ever with me occusionally hitting one thing or the other on my way ..The following events frustrate me at times..

• While ironing my clothes , the long sleeve of the shirt hits the power cable .. that makes the cable fall out of the socket ..that turns off the TV..now ...It is important to plug the cable carefully so that the hot iron may not fall down on my head while i am bent below the iron table reaching the wall socket.
• Before using my PC i have to drag my chair near the computer table...then while ironing i have to drag it a bit far away (usually to the center of the room ) so that i may get full freedom in moving my arm...then while going out of the room..i have to move the chair from the center to area behind the door so it may not come in the way...but ..then to use my PC againI have to drag the chair again causing it to come in the vicinity of the ironing table again..!!!!!!!.... .The cycle continues........argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...........But wait..............thats not all............ this continuos dragging of the chair effects the floor mat so that ripples are formed on it and then i cant open the room door without first clearing the mat ripples.. argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!....
  
• And now that i have an AC in room ..I have got one more remote control to search for (first it was only the TV's remote) ...so yeah!!..still ..most of the time in my room is spent searching for the remote controls.

FOOD:

I recently added Jalapinos peppers to my collection of sauces and pickles at home..for some time, i am enjoying sandwiches made from frozen food and some good sauces ....and wow!! they taste greaaaaaaaat............ I love eating all the dishes made by the genius cook within me....


Princess:

Princess is ok...I finally shifted it on Gas......It was indeed a rarely sighted scene when i was watching Naruto on my laptop at the mechanic's place in Pindi.....:) ... then a few days ago , i had some trouble with gas again....but when i got gas filled from an other gas station..the car started working fine..i dont know wether its true or not but it seems that different gas stations have different kind of gases... huh!!!.. o-:


Spiritually...

I am kinda lazy on the Spiritual front ..am not regular now..i keep feeling relaxed all the time and thus i fell that i dont need to do any meditation..... This weekend i listened to the Silva CDs that i once got free and found that they are too great for me if i use them... I have too much good spiritual knowledge stuff piled with me now but i dont have enough time to read /hear /view it..


About Friends:

• Noman Yasir Jelani aka NYJ is going to Canada..for a training on Wi-Max.. something great happening to a great guy like him..
• Timmy aka Taimoor had a new haircut on my constant insisting...It was a Razor Cut i.e The hairdresser used a razor instead of scissor to cut his hairs.. Its the newest fashion in the town dattey boyou.. [dattey boyou is japanese of 'you know']..so please get impressed from me for having a friends who has Razor cuts ..
  
• Saleem Gul wrote an article on Net beans..[link].I dont get it what net beans is..even though he explained it to me..(hey!! i am EE guy) ...:).. so please get impressed from me for having friends whose articles appear on big sites...
  
• Jazz has requested me to be courteous enough to go to Jinnah Super , buy some computer games for him (there were some 40 games in the list he sent to me with nearly 30 marked as MUST HAVE) and then be more courteous by sending it to him through TCS..oh! thats not all...he has also asked for some choclates with it...
• Bodz asked me not to do anything for any one ever...This is the corollary of one of the laws of successful life.... "I am happy and I must remain happy" ....This was said a long time ago but i recall it now as i seek guidance in order to analyze JAZZ's highly demanding request ..so i guess...i should not send any DVDs to JAZZ..(even though now i have bought 3) .. I must conform to Bodi 's saying as thats the only commandment that he left for me before leaving for Finland..I cant betray one friend for the other...
  

Naruto

Have seen some 177 episode of Naruto and have started with reading its manga (the comic book ) ..It is as addivtive as the anime (animation)....Uff!!!....Naruto is too kool...oh an btw! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle is coming back too .. the movie will be released in 2007... [link]

What else...hey!! i am keeping a frenchie beard these days... :)

TRIM

Today was a busy day..My new project's work assignments have started to arrive and they do suck a lot of time..

The whole day i kept making foolish mistakes..where the most common one was : not trimming the values to compare.[for non CS people: i was not converting the values to same format before comparing] ..I even wrote it big on a paper "ALWAYS TRIM" and kept it in front of me..even then i kept doing this same mistake again and again..

My previous project was DHL Czech Republic...and i was not happy with my performace in that ..I had vowed to be extra efficient in my new project but...what the hell.. i keep getting stucked in very basic things...kept working till 9:00 pm where as all the other team mates were free by 5 pm.. :(.... I kept cursing my self the whole day for not being able to catch up ...but khair..thats life.. after all i have changed my whole field...so whatever is happening should be an expectation.. I am not a very genius guy and i will have to live with my speed of grasping new ideas.

Oh.. I had a lunch at Marriot today..It was a treat from the project manager of my previous project for our good work on the project. The guy was so happy that he sent money from Czech to sponsor our lunch...Earlier the plan was to go for a dinner but we couldnt get a common free dinner time so it was decided to go for it on Friday's lengthy lunch time.. We had Thai food..I have never had thai food before..but.. i didnt eat anything new in the food.. the only new thing that i noticed was the strange combination of Kahwa (green tea) and choclate that was served after the food...instead of the dessert..

What else..I am blank...completely blank..made a telephone call to my sister a while ago... felt sleepy during the conversation even though she was talking about something that can effect my future...

Kashif Bhatii aka KB is in Nathia Gali right now.. I kept trying calling him the whole day..His number was not reachable.. :(.. will probably meet him on sunday..

Am feeling sleepy... will go home now...am waiting to see how the Sand Ninjas will save the leaf ninjas from the sound ninjas... :) ..Today i got new episodes of Naruto you know... :)

GCC birthday

GCC Birthday

We had GCC birthday on 29th June.. GCC , my office , is short for Global Consulting Center.. Its sort of a branch of NCR which turned one year old on 29th. We went to Hotshots F-9 park to celeberate the birthday where we started with bowling. I have never played bowling before.In the start the game looked weird..and i was really wondering who invented this game and how..?? but later i started enjoying it..My score was the lowest in my team. :(

Then we had Laser Tag. I had been trying to play this game for so long. It was a nice game of 15 minutes in which we , 5 boys , played against our enemies , 8 girls , and lost.. :(... In the game , we hit each other's infra-red-sensor-jackets with laser guns ..it is a great game , i will surely be playing it more...was fun..Seems a sure way of losing weight as one keeps running around in total excitement for 15 minutes..

Then we had food and i ate chicken wings till the vomit limit.. lol. :)

At night i was very happy(hyper) and when i met Noman he commented on my behaviour as "You are acting like little kids who become very hyper after having jhola at a park" :)

About Naruto:

I have watched 99 episodes.. an episode is 20+ minutes ..and many times i re-watch a scene repeatedly...so it means that i have spent 33+ hours on it.. I am still enjoying the story line.. its great ...

About My Spiritual Journey:

On this weekend Timmy aka Taimoor gifted me a book ..Its Zawiya 2 by Ishfaq Ahmed..(oh.i am getting too many book gifts these days) .I also bought a book on telepathy by Khwaja Shams-ud-Din Azeemi. I am now feeling that spiritual development doesnt depend only on learning psychic abilities..It also requires learning of life concepts . I recently understood the importance of Forgiveness..A term very heavily used but rarely understood in its proper meanings..I plan to write a post on the power and meanings of Forgivenessthe way i understand it..The book Zawiya gives a good insight into life..I feel the words of the author going deep down ....deep inside me...It sort of cleanses the soul and empowers it to grow.. A PTA friend , Shehryar, used to say that its not important to learn psychic abilities as they are not the ultimate goal...He is quite right when i think about the ultimate goal.. but i am continuing just because i want to see the world with a different angle..atleast for a while..

I have a lot of books piled up now that i have to read.. I have a lot of audio/video lectures to listen....and there a few softwares that i have to try..and then there is this one software that i want to crack ..i have been looking for its crack since Oct 2005... :(.. i am too desperate that i am even willing to reinstall my windows after every 15 days.(the trial limit is 15 days) .but i hope i will soon find easier ways to make the trial run longer. May i succeed in my (un)holy plans..
