A regretful day of a CA student !!!

'Where's this sweet sound coming from?' He thinks while being disturbed from a sweet dream. Half dreaming and half awake he starts looking for his cell phone like some blind man searching for a lost coin in the dark. He switches the alarm off as soon as he finds it and goes back to the world he was just forced out from. A short while passes and the disturbing sound starts again and as soon as his mind starts coming back to the real world, he thinks 'DAMN ! It was the second alarm which means its 6:00 am. Oh no ! its too late already. I had BCBS scheduled at 5:00.'

And then he jumps out of his bed, washes his face like he's having a war with that running water, gets his stuff and starts 'trying' to study. He's just done reading a single page when he realizes that its 7:00 am already.'DAMN ! I had a class at 8:00 today and I'm late already', He thinks. He changes his outfits if he manages to steal a bit of time, packs his books and stuff in that bag with the 'Academy Logo' on it and runs all the way to the bus stop. Waiting for the bus at the bus stop he utilizes his time planning his day and normally plans to cover a substantial part of his course in a span of 12 hours.

In the mean time the bus arrives and just like forever, its full. He somehow reaches his academy and gets to the class. The hardest thing for him to do in the class is to keep his eyes open and his senses working. Last 20-25 minutes of the class take forever to end and 'NOTHING MAKES HIM HAPPIER' than the moment the class ends. But good times are normally for just a short span. He tries to refresh himself in the time till the next class starts and the same thing goes on in the next class as well.

Just when he gets free from those classes filled with enchanted air which can make anyone sleepy, he heads towards the library with the intention of studying all what's left to study. He goes to the library and very much enthusiastically opens his books. Just when he's done with a couple of pages the enchanted air starts attacking his senses once again but he's reminded by the fear of ICAP that he's not allowed to have this luxury at all. He's not even studied 10% of what he actually planned when he finds out that the only resource he needed i.e. TIME is over !

On his way back home he regrets for all the things he shouldn't have traded his time for. 'Bloody Hell ! I didn't even complete the questions I was given as assignment', that's what he thinks while having his dinner. He takes out his books once again but everything seems so blurred this time, he tries his best to decipher what's written but all of a sudden it feels like he's got the worst kind of Dyslexia.

When there's no other way left, he finally puts up the uncovered stuff for the next morning. That's how another regretful day ends but his mind keeps thinking, thinking and thinking....

There is magic in the blue !

There is something extremely fascinating, overly enchanting and magically mysterious about the blue world. Fascinating is the color of water, enchanting is the sparkling reflection of Sun on the roaring waves that never seem to get tired and mysterious are the depths of the blue.

Fortunate nature adorers like me can never get enough of the sound of waves, cool breezes of moist air, walking on the wet sand, color of water which keeps changing as the Sun moves on. Everything enchanting the already enchanted adorer even more !!

There is always something new in the blue, waiting to make me wonder, to make me adore it even more, to make me never wanna leave.

Each tide gives my soul a new wave of freshness, washes away all the disturbing memories of this world.

Watching the blue till the limit of sight gives a sense of infinity, a sense of freedom. Freedom to conquer the impossible.

These never ending tides inspire my conscience, makes it wanna have all the attributes the tides have, makes it wanna have such a determination which never gets hampered no matter what consequences it has to face.

Here are some of the memories of the magical blue infinity I never wanted to let go of:

Refreshing Sight !

Sparkling Waves

Reflection of the Sun

Colors of the Sea

A complete sense of Freedom

A sense of Infinity

Exquisite !

Library Mania !!!!

Just a couple of months ago, if someone asked me,"Man, how do you study in the library? Its just impossible !". My reply used to be,"Don't be stupid ! That's the right place with right kinda atmosphere to study." But now I've realized this fact in the past couple of weeks about what actually was the logic behind such statements.

We all enter in the library with an absolute intention to study, well, no other intention is possible anyway. But here's what happens to me in the library.

Having entered the library, the very first mission is to get a suitable seat which usually ends up being the one next to a good friend. Saying 'Hi' and taking out books and stuff eat up the initial 15 minutes. Then after finally settling down, just when the books get opened, everything else in the world suddenly feels so appealing. As a result, the mind stops working and starts sending messages to other body parts to do the same. It reminds the stomach about the time it last had some food in it, it reminds the eyes about the time they last slept. And just when its finished convincing all the body parts, it shuts down with the message 'Immediate break needed'.

While having the break, time passes like a jet plane. The intended 5 minutes break turns into 50 minutes and we don't get the slightest idea about where did the time go.

Well, after coming back and settling down once again, the conclusion drawn turns out to be that the mood to study has gone out to roam about a bit, till then lets use a bit of FACEBOOK. In the mean time some friend cracks a joke in a whisper and a series of laughter starts which goes on and on.

Then suddenly the librarian knocks his table like a Bollywood movie judge and says 'Time to close the Library !'.

Cheers !

Texting Fever !!!

It felt like magic just a decade ago. How you could save yourself from a buck-blasting call just by sending a simple text message. Texting was the in-thing but not that much common. No one had thought about the consequences of this magical service. The situation was all normal when there were huge constraints of monopolized service charges which were keeping the text flood under control.


But as the saying goes, 'Time and tide wait for none'.. Wait ! Was that even a saying?

Whatever ! Time moved on anyway and competitor telecom companies started moving in. With the advent of these new competitors the monopolized situation changed into a fierce competition. The service charges went down and let the text flood loose.

Its been years since that text flood was unleashed upon us and it shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon.

Well, texting is quite useful at times:

Missing a friend? Your hand autonomously reaches your cell and types 'Hey ! What's up?'

Not sure about tomorrow's class schedule? Your cell is the solution.

Its some friend's birthday? The autonomous process starts again.

There are a hundred more reasons to send a text but you get so damn irritated when you receive unsolicited texts with unrealistic information and as a cherry on the top they contain threats as well, in case you show a bit of sluggishness in forwarding those stupid texts to at least 15 or 20 people.

Then comes the turn of those 'Good Morning' texts which don't seem to stop even when the morning turns into a full fledged day.

The day moves on and then come those 'supposed-to-be-funny' texts specially those torturing the soul of 'Faraz'.

Oh! I just saw my cell's LCD flash. Seems like its one of those 'Good Night' texts. Cheers !

FM and FB.. A love story !

It all started almost two years ago when a friend of mine visited my place and I came across the very famous question 'Are you on FB?' for the very first time. I replied quite honestly as 'What on Earth is FB !' I was then showered with all the good things only FB could offer. It all sounded like a sales pitch but ultimately I was forced to create my FB account. It was all Greek to me at that time cause I was into all that scrapping stuff on orkut.

Minutes turned into hours and hours turned into days, time went on & on and I forgot that I even had an account on FB.

Then the most incredible thing of my life happened. My classes of CA Module-A started at a very well known institution in Karachi. There I came across that same question again and this time I had a positive reply.
Just when the level of my curiosity reached its peak, I gathered all my courage and logged on to my FB page. I then texted some of my classmates and asked them for their FB ids. That's how I started adding friends.

Time rolled on once again and then something happened which accelerated my love for FB like anything. I created a group for my classmates. Everyone joined that group which ultimately became our virtual playground. I started spending a substantial part of my day doing fun stuff on FB. These notifications, status updates, shared videos, comments, pics.. everything was making me go gaga over FB.

Well, I handed that group over to one of my classmates just when I felt that my studies were being neglected but my love for FB didn't get hampered at all.

Next thing I knew was that I was spending hours and hours on FB uploading pics, sharing links, commenting on posts and most of all.. playing FarmVille.

FB saved me from being a socially isolated bibliophile and I thank FB for that. Thanks to all my friends for being there and tolerating my frequent status updates and commenting on them as well. Cheers !

My (controversial) way of staying happy !

One thing that can never be bought with wealth, yet easiest to get.. Yeah ! I'm talking about happiness. It's all around you only if you let your senses evaluate your surroundings in the best possible way.

In the past few days I've observed the factors which lead me to inherent happiness. These factors might sound stupid but that's just what I've observed.

1. Avoid people who make you feel bad and join the ones who become a source of smile on your face.

   
   

2. Do what your heart says and do it just at the right time.

3. Observe the beauty hidden deep down inside every simple and small thing (even if its a lizard).

4. Nothing is unethical as long as it gives you inherent happiness. (This unethical does not include anything outside the scope of cultural values set by your society)

5. Do a regular session of INTRA-PERSONAL COMMUNICATION, just to find out what it is you really want.

6. Set the goals which really motivate you.

These few steps are working quite fine for me and I hope they will keep helping me in staying happy. Cheers !
