I can see the light at the end of the tunnel...I'm almost there!
Friday and AS Levels will be history, another chapter of my life closed and confined to the memory bank. In hindsight, these will probably end up as being some of the best days of my life. I would've REALLY liked a better performance in my finals and that didn't happen. Disappointment is what that provides, nothing else...

So emergence from these chaotic times will leave my head a bit more clearer and hopefully give me more time to think about things in general, life...things that have happened in the last few weeks. I can't ever underestimate the need to get in touch with spirituality, but God it's so hard! Better comprehension of life would be really appreciated and all I can hope is Allah can proivde me with that insight and the strength to appreciate things. Troubles are ephemeral in nature but they scar you deep. Stuff that unfolded probably caused the chaos that made me mess up my exams but whining barely gets one anywhere. The full blame of my exams lies with me and my preparation alone, I'm not running away from that responsibility but I would've liked better circumstances!

The Cricket World Cup is around the corner and we are being thrashed in the most comprehensible way. Should I just stop caring like I stopped caring about Hockey a long time back? Will most certainly ease the anguish.

Alright...stop sniggering, I know I can't. Cricket's Cricket. And I love it. Here's to being a Cricket lover!!

AS-Levels are approaching fast, and I'm still in the blue about what I'm doing. I have no idea what direction I'm headed in and that just makes the situation so bloody hard. I have no plan to work by. HELP!! I hope I can survive the onsluaght. Everyone intimidated me with the O'Levels, but I came out pretty good. I hope I can just pull something off here too, though things aren't looking too good at the moment.

And now, here's to wasting my time in the Lyceum shed!! :D

They hanged Saddam today. I deplored the guy, and was happy to hear about his execution. But a few hours later, watching the video where he's being tied to the noose created some sympathy for him in my heart. I was surprised at this sudden procreation of pity in my heart, I literally hated the man for all his actions and the attrocities he committed. But seeing him facing death so determinedly was eerie for some reason.

Anyway, he's gone now and he'll probably face some tough questions Upstairs.

I can bloviate on this topic, but I'd become very boring. So a bit to the lighter side of things. I am in love with the sound track of the film "The Last of the Mohicans"
The film is a masterpiece of acting and direction, combining all elements of a good film and fusing them with such brilliance, so as to leave the audience feeling mesmerized and captivated while watching it. The sound track, while monotonous at times, serves it's purpose effeciently neverthelss. The tune stirs up your emotions and somehow make you feel more involved in the film. The goading of the sensitivities of your soul is what's required to make a good film, and I feel most films being made these days lack that ability. But that's just subjective judgement...
People would disagree.

Moving once again towards current affairs. I am astounded at the apathy exhibited by the people who are incharge of running our country towards the citizens. Though a lot has been written on this topic, but I feel this issue deserves more mention. It deserves the severest of reprehensions, and I will try and do it justice. Very often our 'Prime Minister' and 'President' come to Karachi. They are un-empathetic and callous. Everytime they stick their asses down in Karachi, the traffic goes insane due to the numerous 'security measures'. Now that is not the issue here. The issue is about the numerous ambulances that get stuck. A lot of them are carrying emergency patients and we've observed a few times that patients have died in the ambulances when their lives could've been saved had they managed to get to the hospitals. Are our leaders willing to take the blame for this? Do they have the slightest bit of shame?!

Mr. President and Mr. Prime Minister, to ensure your safety, people have lost their lives. Do you care?!

Is not the purpose of education to enlighten our souls, to equip us? Why, then, do some people think that through mere intimidation via books will we be better human beings?

I must admit, I am in rather a melancholic mood right now. I feel angry, opposed to principles and just simply frustrated.
