aaaaah...'new post' it says to me..! its nice to be on something different and new and...clean! i haven't wiped my old slate clean yet...but i will soon...but in the meantime..ive started scrawling on another one.
like those 'takhtis' that my cousins used to use in ryk when they were in school..how i would sit by my cousin and watch him write on it painstakingly using a 'qalam' and fresh ink...the ways he would shape letters of the urdu alphabet..and how i begged to use it too..of course, i dont think i could quite write urdu then - speaking it was enough of a chore! but id tried to copy his letters in my horrible handwriting...that is, IF he let me try using it at all!
*sigh* those were the good ol' days weren't they??
im sitting here at the moment, searching on information for my environmental science term paper..on Gaia's Hypothesis.
right before my teacher told me what topic i'd be doing, i had this strange idea that this is what i'll get..it was so weird! sthing like a sixth sense, i suppose. haha..tho i was glad she gave it to me, i wanted to do it on this anyway. ive read up on it and i dont understand much of it anyway...so cheers! :P
oh and ive just read that it's pronounced 'gay-a' not 'gy-a'...like i thought..!
i reached 4o minutes late for my class today because there was some strike or the other going on around mall road, and the traffic was stuck really bad! of course, the mall is just the place to be these days, you know! after all, it's got 3 universities and 1 college practically right next to each other, and all of them are (rather luckily i must say) surrounded by the high court and smaller courts and lawyers offices! every strike starts from here now because our country's lawyers have suddenly become very active. one day when i was on my way to college, there was a whole procession going in the opposite direction...cars and vans decked out with banners and all of them filled with joyous people holding flags and proclaiming their undying love for monis elahi. i even got a glimpse of the doofus - believe me, he looks just as much of a doofus in real life as in all the pictures of him around the city. though, i must say, the huge one of him on the road leading to aimc, its rather flattering now with the red paint splashed all over it - he looks rather handsome for it!
