More Dialogues
Missed Calls and Wrong Numbers
Since a month i have been getting frequent missed calls from a number in Jeddah. Last night i got a call from the same number and it rang long enough for me to answer. I politely explained to the individual that he has been dialing the wrong number and that he shouldn't call here any more. His response was
tum kaun hoon. This is not the first time a person dialing a wrong number has asked me this, i don't get it, what difference does it make. I need to come up with a witty response to this, may be some Amitabh Bachan dialogue. Anyways, I simply told him, thats besides the point and disconnected the line. An hour later the guy calls up again and this time i told him off, he hasn't called since. What is this need people have to be insulted before they'll listen to you.
Smoke Away
HAAAALLLPP!!!
My mom's birthday is comin up next week and this time around non of my sisters are here to come up with thing we should do, so any sensible suggestion would be welcome and remember people its the thought that counts :)
If its left to me i'll probably just end up buying a card and 'my' favourite cake :p
As for what i've been upto during my absense from the blogosphere, not much, just fooling around with my blog as you might have noticed.
P.S. Whats wrong with Hello it isn't uploading pics :(
Good ole barber
I went for a long due hair cut today and once seated explained to the guy what I wanted done which was quite simple actually I wanted them short, not long like they are right now, but he just didn’t seem to get it. He proceeded to name a whole list of
styles I had never heard of and I am sitting there listening to him totally lost when he mentions a familiar sounding name and I am like yes that’s it. With the details settled I begin to relax but not for long, the guy launches a full fledged assault on my hair, armed with his comb and scissors he is going at it with an obsession and vigor never before witnessed by me, I was afraid he was going to rip my ears off, which by the way are still soar. You can imagine my horror when he reached for the razor. I immediately started reciting which ever ayats and qalmas I could recall. To my immense relief he turned out to be extremely gentle with the blade, thanks probably to some bloody experience in the past.
This experience made me wonder, what happened to the good ole barber and the good ole barber’s shop where there is no style no nothing, you just go sit and he knows what’s to be done. You just can’t find them anymore; nowadays you have the hair salons and the hair stylist with all their ridiculous haircuts, oops sorry hairstyles, with price tags to match. There is this one that just doesn’t make any sense,
the mess, now why would I pay an individual to make my hair a mess, dude the reason I came to you is because it already is a mess.
Weekend
Saturday was a complete bore, determined not to have a repeat of it on sunday i went over to
Abdu's place, watched Taxi featuring the super sexy
Gisele as the bad guy(gal :p), went to play some snooker after a long time, wondering what to do next ended up at Agha's to see if they had tickets to Black Fish, or anything for that matter, but sadly no luck. Abdu checked out some valentine day cards for his fiance, there were some pretty naughty ones but found a couple with
sharifana wordings, u know 'fiance material' :p With nothing else to do went back to his place and watched Kate & Leopold starring the lovely
Meg Ryan. Went to defence market for some dinner topped up with strawberry shake (the first shake of the season always tastes the best). Then headed home and off to bed.
Medium or Regular
I went to get some Biryani today and the waiter asks me 'medium or regular?', and i am like which one is smaller. What is with these guys, it started off with the pizza places and its catching up now. Why can't they just say small, in fact if u've seen the size of the pizzas its more like tiny, some would say microscopic even :p
Basant
I just went out for a while and the roads are deserted, looks like most of Karachi has migrated to lahore for basant. This is depressing, I wish I was there too. We Karachites need to come up with a bigger, better and even more grossly hyped up festival, that'll show them :p
Should i go for it?
i got this in my inbox yesterday
"From: Miss Rana Marah Sadija

I am Miss Rana Marah sadija, Ethiopian by birth and Mistress to late Qusay Hussein brother to Uday Hussein sons of the Iraqi former leader, Saddam Hussein both killed in a firefight in Northern Iraq on 22 July 2003.
While I was still under the service of Qusay Saddam Hussein before his death, he made a swift deposit of US$50 Million in my name to a security firm in Europe (name with held), this money was to enable him seek a hideout and buy Ammunition to fight against US Military forces to support his embattled father in the struggle for survival in the pending America/Iraqi war. Unfortunately, he was killed before he could execute his exotic plans.
Since the death of Qusay, I decided to use these money for my personal investment but after Saddam Hussein capture, there have been several attempt of assassination on my part by unknown gun men hence I flee Iraq and decided to solicit your kind attention to help me receive this money as I do not know what next will happen to me. I am in a secret hideout and wish to secretly locate a sincere and trusted person who will take ownership of this money US$50 Million on my behalf. My life is now in danger, I do not know who to trust.
I am not willing to disclose the true location of the money for security Reasons, until I am convince you are truly willing to assist me. I would be pleased and grateful to you if you could assist me in collecting this consignment on my behalf from the security firm, upon which I will be offering you 30% for your efforts and assistance.
Allah bless you in abundance
Miss Rana Marah sadija"
