I hate the old Lahore

2:22 PM Ammar



U know wat i hate.. I hate purana Lahore.. So this is a magical place where both red and green lights mean go.. Where u don’t find trees.. Just flimsy branches sticking out of the ground.. Where noise cancelling headphones are a necessity not a luxury.. Where every tom dick and harry thinks they own the whole road.. Buses driving like motorbikes.. Weaving in and out of traffic.. With one hand constantly on the horn.. No one has any respect for traffic rules, one way streets or roundabouts.. As u may have guessed.. I just got back from Lahore and it was NOT pleasant! We Islamabadis are a gentle folk.. Like a herd of gazelles.. The slightest hint of trouble and we are outta there.. But not these guys.. It’s like they are looking for a fight all the time!
Oh and the smell.. The smell here is awful.. I imagine its like horse manure garnished with rotten eggs and bad cheese stuck in a microwave.. Yeah.. It’s pungent but not immediately.. At first its a faint odour.. Then it hits u like a locomotive! For all those who think i'm lying.. Go look for yourselves! And lahories thinking about sending me hate mail.. I’m not talking bout defence, gulberg, model town or cantt.. Its just the rest of it.. the walled city.. yucki gate.. anarkali.. bund road.. No offence to the people living there.. I actually commend u on being there day in day out..
And who in their right mind thot of starting a dental school RIGHT NEXT TO THE RED LIGHT DISTRICT!!! Ok so it is probably a hundred years old.. but there are millions of better places for a well-reputed school.. Oh and they shifted a couple of years ago.. u know where? 500yards down the road.. and it still sucks!!
All im trying to say is.. the ministers, commissioners, mayors or whoever is in control.. is it so hard for them to leave their comfy six-bedroom houses in Defense and sit in an air conditioned foreign car with a chauffer cross the canal and go see how the other half lives! See the roads and the drains.. and do something about them! I heard this song the other day.. u'll think its lame.. but it was pretty close to the truth.. I think its called Bullshit.. by shehzad roy.. that’s how ive been feeling ever since I got back from Lahore..
I’ve had that writer’s block thing again.. just cant shake it!
Any advice?

I hate moving..

10:15 AM Ammar



U know wat I hate.. I hate moving.. I mean i've moved thrice in the last 10months.. and this winter was horrible.. I couldn’t find any of my good warm clothes! I thought id lost them.. There were so many boxes all over the place.. and I dint have the time to go thru everything.. just found em ALL now.. haa haa.. and every time I had to move, it was like a day after I unpacked my last box.. so this time.. im gonna leave one box unopened.. may be that wud delay the inevitable.. its weird u know.. im the sort of person who gets used to things really quickly.. but the problem is CHANGE.. I hate thinking about moving.. or getting my room redone.. or getting the kitchen extended.. but once its done.. I don’t have a problem getting used to it..
Spent like five hours moving boxes of clothes and electronics up to my new room.. I can’t believe I have SO much stuff.. Alhamdulillah.. I shud have a yard sale.. Id be set for a month!! Haa haa..
And its not just that.. my boss decided we shud move our dental clinic out of the place where its been for the last 18 years and go somewhere new.. new clients, he says.. I don’t buy it..  
Holy crap it’s hot! I was thinking of walking to the market to get a hammer and some nails.. im gonna hang my old school photos in my new room.. I thought I had lost those too.. but I found them at the bottom of my shoe-bag.. Unlike most men.. I have loadsa shoes.. I dunno.. I’m a shopaholic I guess.. it’s the same story every month.. by the last week I’m begging for time to rush by so that payday gets here! I love payday.. counting the old, stinky notes.. love the texture of that paper between my fingertips.. have u ever noticed that whatever currency we use.. the notes in our wallet are the dirtiest things in our whole house.. When a new note comes out of the mint.. it goes into circulation.. and that’s where EVERYONE gets to touch it.. I was watching this thing on TV where they took a dollar bill each from a random group of people and checked it under a microscope.. and u wanna know wat they found? They found teeny-tiny cocaine particles on every note!!
Speaking of drugs and money.. i’ve started watching this TV show called Castle.. it’s the same formula as the X-files.. a boy-girl pairing and both with different ideas and thought processes.. and that’s how they solve baffling mysteries.. But I suppose Castle is better than Undercover Stone..
So how many times have u moved during the last ten years??

I hate it when you're on the can, and someone knocks and says 'hey.. u in there?'

1:16 PM Ammar

Pooper






Ok so since this is my first post.. im just gonna write about my day.. woke up around 11, took a sip of diet coke, grabbed my smokes and went off to the toilet.. Some people say that this is where they have their epiphanies.. and by some people i mean those guyz on the TV show Scrubs.. coming back to the story.. as soon as my cheeks touched the cold porcelain.. there was a knock on the door.. it was my brother.. he wanted to know if i was in there.. of course im in here, i thought, the doors locked.. the lights on.. its MY freakin room.. who else was gonna be in there?!?SANTA!? Yeah im in here, i yelled back.. something like 5minutes go by.. theres another knock on the door.. and its my mom.. obviously wanting to know if i was in there.. i told her i was.. and then AGAIN.. theres a knock.. and before hearing who it was.. i yelled YES YES, IM IN HERE!! ILL BE OUT WHEN IM DONE!!
Another thing.. u know when u are in the toilet.. and u hear the phone ring.. and someone picks up.. wat is the point of knocking on the door and saying So-and-so is calling for u.. what should i tell him? i mean.. im not gonna get up mid-shit to speak to someone.. and im sure everyone in the world poops.. and would completely understand if someone on the toilet could not talk to them.. becoz he was ON THE TOILET!!
we shud at least be able to spend those few minutes in peace.. maybe i should get one of those signs that say OCCUPIED.. like in airplanes and trains..
speaking of trains.. here is a question for u.. would u rather ride in a train, dance in the rain, or feel no pain?
i guess thats all i have to talk about, today.. ill write more later..
