Before & Today :)

I need to get my groove back

I typed " I need to get my groove back" in Google Search for Images. It lead me to this image.


Sigh but it didnt make me feel better :(



Dastaan

I usually avoid sad dramas like anything but the drama "Dastaan" attracted me like moth to a flame even though I didnt want to watch it. The cast, direction and the story is amazing.

The drama is during the partition of India , about a muslim girl named "Bano" whose belief in "Pakistan" is so strong that in her every action, words and thoughts you will see that she is motivated by her country and her beliefs.

The whole drama reminded me of the real stories that I have heard from my grand parent. Even though its heart wrenching to watch it, I think every Pakistani should atleast watch this drama. Because it reminds us of our history and past.  It also depicts in the end where our country is heading. So its a wake-up call and a warning.

Hugh Jackman

Suzanne Enoch dedicated one of her books to Hugh Jackman. She wrote , " For Hugh Jackman, whom I find very inspiring." Reading it made me smile ! Hugh Jackman really looks like as if he has walked out of a romance novel. :)

Do you want to be in touch or not ?

You know when somebody tells you, “ I have been meaning to call but something always come up”. They are lying unintentionally. Today because of technology and internet it’s impossible to not be connected with somebody. All the excuses people give about not being in touch because of lack of time or job or personal issues is just crap. One of my friend actually gave me this excuse, “ These days you are never online, also I don’t see you on facebook and to add to that I had lost your number”. It was so funny when she told me that. Anyway I got the picture ,she was trying to give me unintentionally.
But that exact ‘excuse’ she gave made me start thinking that Im always in touch with the meaningful people in my life. I always find a way to be in touch with them whether it through the phone, emails, sms, facebook etc. Even the lack of time is not a problem because I WANT and NEED to be in touch with them. I want to share my life with them. So nothing like time, personal problem or even the height of busyness will get in my way from being in touch with them. Then it made me start thinking about people I haven’t been in touch with. People I would have written emails to but always didn’t find time. People I would have called but oh my God my cake is burning which is obviously more important then giving that call. It made me sort out those people in my life. The people I actually want to get back in touch with and people that I really don’t care whether we ever get to talk again.
It also made me realize communication works two way. If you don’t want to talk to somebody , he or she can do everything to try and reach you but wont be able to simply because of the fact that you don’t want to be in touch with that particular person. He or she can even come to your house and bang your door but you will not let them in because you don’t want them in. So the next time you tell somebody “ I just wouldn’t find the time to be in touch with you” or somebody tells you that , think about where your relationship with that person is heading.
