Midnight @ KFC

It was a new experiance, going to KFC so late at night.

Around 10 at night Khala called to tell that a plan has been made to go to KFC for the late night deal. Sunny attended the phone. SHe said she might not be able to make it. But i on the other hand yelled that i was IN. This motivated my sister to change her mind. So at 11 we all set off to KFC. We were a total of 15 people and reached there in three cars. I was driving one too.

I reached there first. Then came the next car, and then the last one. We all got out and went in. Poor Jaffar, Omer and Hamza (my cousins) were made to stand in the line to order the meal. It was good of them thatthey obidiently did stand there, otherwise we could not have had our burgers and drinks. The rest of us were just roaming here and there. Then Khala got hold of a table and i was one of the people to sit on that.

I had already had my full fledged dinner at home (the news of the KFC plan came late) so trying to finish the whole burger was of no use. I had a few bites and left the rest to take home. Finished my 'yummy' Mirinda however.

After finishing the food we all headed back. We reached back at 1:00 am. I was dead tired, but was glad that i didn't hesitate a bit in saying 'yes' and going to KFC at midnight (about).

Going Home Early

Can't believe it my self, but i am going home early today. Well it is still after 6 pm, but it is much earlier than the times i was going home for the past some days.

Feels like a dream. I am still in the office though. Wish it is the reality even if it feels like a dream.

But wait a minute! What will i do with all the free time at home. I have sort of forgotten what it feels like.

Oh well, i will think of something. Even if it means taking a long NAP. :-D

Unmet Deadline

Yesterday, i.e. on 26 July, i had to complete a certain set of tasks. It was the deadline after taking a dreaded second extension. I tried hard to meet it. But something went wrong. And i don't have a clue about it. All tasks are 80%-95% done, which is not bad, but not good either as its still not 100%. The boss might kill me. [or not]

Wish i can meet deadlines better in future.

Counters

I just saw the preview of my blog, and that reminded me of something i had been thinking for a while. The thought is that it seems my life is being ruled by 'counters'. And the internet has a lot to do with it.

Let's see. Well, for one, there is a counter on my blog. [I know i put it there myself :-P] I keep checking the number it has reached. The higher the number goes, the better i feel. And deep inside my heart i want it to reach the highest. :-D

Then there are the scrap counters on Orkut. I have a total of 221 right now, but i love to see the count proceed ahead. [I also feel jealous of the ones who have more than a 1000 scraps. Also i feel sorry for the ones who have less than 10. :-D hehe]

The new e-mail message counter also is a wonderful one. Every time i log in to a messenger or my company e-mail account, and i get the news of 'so & so' new e-mails, it makes my heart beat faster. I feel really good about it.

And there are countless counters in the daily life too. How many movies seen? How many songs heard? [I have actually kept a log of all movies seen. ;-) Thinking of doing something similar for the songs too.] How many books read? How much 'work' done in how less time? Highest scores of games. And it goes on.

I actually like the counters. They, sort of, create an excitement, and encourage you to move ahead and reach the next numbr in line. They push you to keep going ahead. I could be wrong, but that's what i feel, for now. ;-)

Return of Monazza aka Titlee

So once again it has been a long time since i last posted here. Seems like decades, centuries, milleniums. Well i guess the time interval is shorter than that. I was being dramatic. :-D

Well i am here, and i have a LOT to say too. But I don't have the time to write it all. Guess will have to wait a bit to find some nice relaxing time so that i can write whatever is in my head.

Guess you guys will have to keep coming back, again and again. ;-) heheheee
