Say Aah!

Here Goes the Bee Originally uploaded by Monazza aka Titlee

The nasturtium said aah and the bee glided in. Thank God nasturtiums are not insectivorous, otherwise the bee would have had it for sure. ;-)

Silver Strands

While brushing my locks in the morning I discovered a silver strand among them. It was like finding a hidden treasure. I don’t have many on my head so any time I spot one, I feel really excited. I can't however pin what the excitement is about. Usually people feel bad, sad or scared that they have probably started to age and the presence of white hair is a confirmation. But I on the other hand am always delighted at the sighting. Though I am not sure that I would let them be when the presence of these silver strands becomes significant and more noticeable. Only time will tell I guess. Till then I’ll enjoy my moments of merriment.

Very Random at 3:00 a.m.

Its 3:00 am in the morning/night and i am wide awake. I tried to fall sleep but couldn't do it. So after twisting and turning i turned to my "oxygen", that is Internet. I've played a few games of "Dominoes" on Yahoo Games. It was great fun since i love the game and got the chance to play it after a really long time.

Some acquaintances are there on my MSN but no family members or pals are online. But then if they were here, at this unearthly hour, they would also have been sharing my dilemma of sleeplessness. I wouldn't have bugged them by asking "what are you doing here?". Because i would be doing the same. ;-)

I also found a cool track and was able to download it too. Have listened to it twice. Am planning to try to get some shut eye right after the track ends for the third time.

I have been blogging less and less for the past few months. I wonder what's up with me. I also wonder if any of my "readers" are missing me. ;-) hehe Well if anybody is missing me please know that i am missing you too. Honest! I am just turning into as bigger pile of lazy bones and nothing else is the matter. I think i am dehydrated. Oh well i'll have to drink more water to see if my hypothesis is correct or wrong.

My track just started for the third time. Woo hoo! Great song i must say. Nice, mellow and melodious, kind of lovey dovey. Well i'll lift the veil of mystery and tell you which one it is. It is called "Pyar Ki Dastan" from the Indian movie "Luck By Chance". (Yes i am guilty of listening to tracks from Indian movies. Yes i am a patriotic Pakistani too.) If anyone wants to download, they can do from the web site http://www.songs.pk.

A little while ago my DSL got disconnected. I felt as if i was left alone to count stars since i was unable to sleep. But then the DSL light stabilized after blinking a bit. And then appeared the Internet light on my Aztech modem. It filled my heart with joy.

I think the randomness is getting so random that it is getting out of hand and must be making you dizzy. My track just ended. I would like to listen to it one last time while i pack up stuff, spell check the blog and sign out of my accounts online. You all have a nice day ahead. Will catch ya all soon. Ya soon. I know the meaning of soon. :-P Don't make fun!

Ciao :-)

Swings

Swings Originally uploaded by Monazza aka Titlee

Whenever i look at any swings in a park or get a chance to swing on them (which is rarely), i always remember the good old times. The times when me (Aunty) and my good pal (Beta) used to swing on these together. The thrill of swinging on a swing combined with having a pal on the one beside me always used to be marvelous. It was pure and simple joy, nice and innocent fun. We don't get to do that anymore, but the memories are still fresh in my mind. I hope we can do this some day again, and soon.

Dedication: This post is dedicated to my pal Attiya. :-)

Do Not Litter on the Highway

Do Not Litter on the Highway Originally uploaded by Monazza aka Titlee

This looks like an effort by the National Highway Authority (NHA) to spread awareness to the masses about not littering. ;-) And this signboard was there before the Earth Day this year. Can we assume that the NHA is already aware of the need to preserve and conserve as far as Earth is concerned?

Who Celebrated Earth Day? (April 22, 2009)

Last week on the same day (Wednesday) on April 22, 2009, it was Earth Day. A day to appreciate the environment on Earth. Also a day to think of ways to conserve and preserve everything on the Earth related to nature and the environment.

I for one spent that day just like any other day. I did not waste any water while brushing my teeth. I switched off all bulbs and electrical appliances while leaving a room. I tried not to litter. I didn’t harm any animals or plants (might have killed a few mosquitoes though). I used both sides of the paper while taking my printouts. (I did, however, blog about that day on the very same day, but I am not counting it in right now.)

I did all this that day and do it every other day. I also wish and believe that I will continue to do so in the coming days as well. I might even get better at conserving resources and preserving the environment.

But I am wondering how many people around me (let alone in the whole world) do all this, and do it with a conscious effort. I do not want to boast as I have not done a great thing. I also do not want to preach to anybody to take care of such little stuff. But I do wish that everybody realizes that this is important. Every little action we do, counts. If it is a positive one, we will surely be adding to the preservation efforts of Earth. Our negative actions might not show instant results but they will pile up and add towards the destruction of our planetary environment.

I wish every day was Earth day and was keenly celebrated by all earthlings in a true sense. This Earth is the only Earth we have. So we need to think of it as our very own and protect it.

Facebook Making Me Mad

The cloudy weather is making me glad but the messed up Facebook application is making me mad. grrrrrrr

Turns out i can access all the pages on this application except my own profile page (the page that has the wall). It's been happening since last night. At home i thought it was some Internet problem. But as i am facing the same problem here in office as well i am thinking otherwise. I wonder what could it be. Somebody said it is a bug in Firefox 3 but i am wondering why would the bug attack only the Facebook profile page and prevent it from opening. Till i find a solid answer (or a solution) i will keep my assumptions going. :-P

Hot Sun & Cool Clouds

Today when i came to office it was really hot. The sun was blazing with its full glory and hinting that Summer (read extremely 'hot' season) is just around the corner. But just a little while ago i heard a little thunder-like sound. I ran up to the window and removed the blinds. The sight i found was very pleasing. The scorching heat was gone. Instead a nice sheet of clouds was covering the sky. I am still looking at the clouds, hoping they would spill a little water too. :-)

(Continuously) Changing Life

Things keep on happening around us. If we plan to blog about them and then don't find time, more and more 'incidents' would keep getting piled up. And then there will come a time when the oldest incidents wouldn't remain relevant anymore. The bottom of the pile would start rotting and becoming kind of obsolete. You think for a second that all my intellectual 'dough' is gone, but then you start getting new one. Good thing that things keep happening. Otherwise where would I go and what would i do! ;-)

I Think: Full Stops

Full stops are good. They are supposed to mark the end of a sentence. But i believe that they also mark the beginning of a new one.
