Janam Samjha Karo

Janam Samjha Karo. Ahem ahem ahem. It is not a message to my 'Janam' but only the name of an album by Asha Bhosle which I had been looking for, for such a long time now. I had looked in all major shops of Rawalpindi and Islamabad for it. I had even asked a few pals to look for it in Lahore, a bigger city. But alas, no luck. I didn't find it anywhere. I even tried downloading it from the internet but no luck there either. But I did not loose hope and kept looking.

Yesterday I went to Saddar, a big marketplace in Rawalpindi. There I entered the biggest CD shop (Sadaf CD), which is on the 4th floor of the plaza and spans over almost the whole space on that floor. Looked at CDs and walked towards the corner where those people have displayed collections of Asha Bhosle. There was a mild ray of hope in my mind, as ever, that maybe I will
find my CD there. I went there and started looking at the same old CDs. I was looking up and down the rack when suddenly my eyes caught attention of something.

Yeah, it was a CD by Asha Bhosle which said 'Janam Samjha Karo'. I couldn't believe my eyes. They popped out literally. I got really excited. Took the CD off the shelf and ran to my sister Sanaa to show it to her. She also was amazed that how come I finally found the CD. But then we looked closer at the CD and there was this word written on it: Remix.

That one word burst my bubble instantaneously. Remixes are good many a times but I was after the original tracks. I got double minded about buying the CD. Seemed that it was glued to my hand and I was unable to put it back on the shelf. ;-) heheheee So I bought it.

The remixed tracks are not that bad. They are not like the original ones but they are good enough. Am glad that I got the CD. ;-)

My First Face Mask :-D

For quite a while I wanted to try on a face mask as well. I had heard everybody say that it makes skin fresh; it makes it glow and all. So I thought let me try it out and see for myself.

I went to the market and got one. It was a peel-off one of the make Freeman. Its flavour attracted me quite a lot: Blueberry and Champaign >:-) hehehee And on top of it, its colour was also blue so I bought it instantly.

The very same night I tried it on. It felt like a gummy, gooey, glue-ey sort of thing when I was applying it on. I finished applying it and waited for it to dry.

As it dried, I started feeling that that my skin is being tightened, a lot. I touched my face after a while and the mask was dry. SO I got up to peel it off. But as I looked at myself in the mirror, I burst into laughter. Rather it was quite difficult laughing as my face was trapped in the mask ;-) It was like someone had pressed a plastic bag against my face. My face looked all shiny and plastic. heheheee

I showed my face to my sisters too and they laughed as well.

Then I finally started peeling my mask off. Felt strange and interesting. My sister Batool said that it was reminding her off an English movie where some people were peeling off their skins like that. And I added that yes and some other creatures were coming out from underneath. lol But in that case, it was only me under there. Believe me, it really was only me >:-)

When I was almost done with the "peeling" [this word 'peel' keeps reminding me of peeling potatoes :-P hehe] I thought of playing a tiny prank. I ran to Abbu and said to him, "Look Abbu what's happening to my skin." And pulled at a bit of the mask to pull it off. For a sec Abbu was puzzled and said what happened. And then he realised what was going on. Clever Abbu! ;-) The prank didn't work that well but it was good fun.

Finally I finished with getting rid of that entire mask. And when I paid attention to my skin it really did seem in a good condition. I wonder why I had not done this before. Will do it again next weekend. ;-)

Till then I will think of applying something else on my face. Some rose water or raw crushed aloe vera maybe. Or maybe I can do something with my hair. >:-) God help me!

Dunbfounded!

Just a few days back my pal Vivek game me a link to an annonymizer so that i could access blogger which has been blocked in my office. Today by chance i typed in the blogger URL and waited for that 'Red & Black screen of death'. But to my surprise, blogger opened. Not only this but i could log in actually type this blog entry as well. :-D I am dumbfounded, surprosed, astonished ......

But at the same time i am happy. Back come my blogging days, i hope. ;-) heheheeee
