what a great day!!!

One of the best pieces of advice that a book ever gave me (excepting the Holy Koran, of course) was, strangely, in a Stephen King novel. It’s just these words that are repeating themselves in my mind again and again and again today…I guess they are all that relate to my situation somewhat and are maybe an attempt to explain something which I can’t quite figure out yet. 'There’s one thing you should know about the world--It don’t care…. It don’t hate us, but it don’t love us either…’(The Shining) The grammar is bad, the punctuation is all wrong, but so what? At least it can console me that one of the most brilliant (albeit sick) writers of the world can explain what I can and cannot expect from the world, even and especially a few people who call themselves my FRIENDS. All I want to say is; I did not expect a hug, I did not expect a kiss, or anything like that. But I did expect some acknowledgement of what took place yesterday. It was one of the biggest things that happened to me, and you…well, that’s all past mattering now. You don’t hate me, but you don’t care for me, either. But you DO care for the teat that you’re expecting from me. Wow…what layers of depth you have! I’m not angry…well, not very angry. But I AM very very hurt, very very depressed, and very very sad. It’s people like you who have given me such a face. The face that tells the whole world how hard it is for me to smile.

From what you have written here I think the people who call themselves your 'friends' maybe really aren't worth being your friends at all. It was a special day, they understand and they are also sorry from the deepest darkest depths of their hearts for not remembering and not asking. If you hate these people so much, why do you not just cut yourself off from them? They certainly don't deserve your friendship. These people are bad, heartless, negligent, cold creatures. Save yourself from them before they consume you entirely. Keep yourself away from people who don't care because life is not long enough to waste on someone who would never appreciate your effort. If they hurt you- you hurt them back. Sometimes playing sweet isn't the nicest or the best thing to do. If I were you, I'd insult my 'friends' infront of everyone (and even though they would tell you they did not like it, it would be exactly what they deserved), I'd yell at them and make them realize how lowly creatures they are. If you don't agree with me its your choice but the way you are acting, the only one who stands to get hurt is- you! And why spend your life hurting yourself when there are many around you who are clearly amply doing it?

Woah woah woah! Hold on!! As a person who visits your blog twice everyday and as a person who doesn't know you even the slightest bit and a person whom you don't know in the slightest bit, take my words into consideration.

First of all, everyone goes through their experience. The words of Stephen King: absolutely, totally correct! No matter how much you think a person loves you, and no matter how much that person "thinks" he loves you, it all boils down to this: that person doesnt give a phuck!!! That is absolutely correct. Let's not mess with that.

The Holy Prophet, Hazrat Muhammad (Salallah-o-Allaihiwa-Aalihi-Wassalam) once said, (these are not the exact words) `"IF" I could make anyone my friend except Allah, then I would choose Abu-Bakr (R.A.) as my friend.'
See some light down that tunnel?

This means (and I'm extremely sorry if I am wrong) that no one holds the power to help you at all times in the best possible way except for Allah. No one can. No one will.

The U-Fone add says: "It's all about you." I was stunned at how friking right those dumbasses were! I look at the world my way. Ppl dying in Iraq, me taking Tickle personality tests. Rape and slaughter in Sindh, me laughing my ribs open at That 70's Show... I'm dead. Thw world's dead and the wonderful world of mine moves in this way. You see?

Faiz Seyal: "If you accept that you have a problem, it is no longer a problem."

Now that you've seen and experienced this universal problem, wht to do?

You don't, repeating: don't repeating: don't repeating: don't give up on friends. You don't think that friends have given up on you.

Quaid-e-Azam: "Hope for the best. Expect the worst."

You've gotta do wht you've gotta do. Friends are humans. They can't always see exactly wht you want and how you want it. Sometimes they just can't. Most love you. But they can't They just can't.

Accept it and move on.

P.S: I thought the 'treat' was just this lil joke we all enjoyed, clearly I was wrong. We don't want it anymore though. Thankyou.

Sorry for peeving the shit out of you again, but...

I think it's already clear that I beg to differ with anonymous.

Chij shouldn't have explained herself. And ATY, although all of my sympathies are with you, because I myself have gone through countless such incidences where I have been forced to think about my friends, still, you should have trusted your friends (the ones who truly do love you). And if Chij is one of them, you should never have given her the oppurtunity to explain herself like this.

There's still time.

Chij: I sent you a mail yesterday, but I omitted one very important thing; I guess it was just the dejection after reading your comment…but anyway, I’d just like you to know that this post does not refer only to you, niqabi and tiddi…everyone, and I mean everyone forgot ALL about it, and that’s what made me feel so insignificant, so minor…and that’s what made me write that post.
S, A and N all forgot abt it…N just called to say that she remembered it just now. I think only alia asked me abt it, but she was absent on Thursday, so that didn’t help matters until Friday.
So when not a few, but ALL of your friends forget something that is very important to you, it does get you a bit down, doesn’t it?
Anyway, I’d just want you to know that I’m really ashamed that you and niqabi had to go through all that just because of me…I hope this never happens again.


Niqabi: thanks for calling yaar…how’d you work up the guts to do that? That was the last thing I expected, but that makes me appreciate it all the more….u know I’m so unpredictable…ok, you two, my blog’s too dangerous for u….this is the second time something like this has happened…I do NOT write a whole post just for you ok! There are other friends involved, there are other things that make me sad…if I do write a whole post for you, I’ll write it on some nice thing, some aspect of your characters that I like very much, etc, etc…. but not on some negative thing like this!


Un-deciphered: gee, thanks so much…. that comment must have taken some time…all those quotes and everything else. I guess you’re right… maybe some one who doesn’t have any personal interest in this knows the best thing to do. I guess that’s why I’m so insecure about everything. Accept it and move on….I’d forgotten I was supposed to do that…you deserve all the credit for making me realize that.
Thanks again for your advice and for reading my blog AND commenting like this when you don’t know me from Adam.
Ok, afer this new comment, I know chij shudn’t have explained herself, and I wasn’t expecting it either.


Anonymous: I’ll have to talk to you abt this….once I make sure you are who I think you are


General comment: I know you all hate me by now, I guess thi sis the biggest mistake of my life….and abt the treat, I already saud it referred to ALL my friends, not just YOU.

I did not even plan to comment on this post until I read your comment ATY. To be honest, being as uninformed as I am I hadn't a clue that your ceremony was day before yesterday. I remember N was asking you if you had your clothes out, but I did not ask coz I thought it would seem rude to interfere. If i had atleast known about the ceremony, I would have asked!
I'm sorry i didnt ask-its really not personal!
khair, I hope ur feeling better now! take care!

It makes me happy if I have been of any assistance.

Secondly, you shouldn't thank me for reading your blog. I do it for myself. Remember the U fone ad?

The call...you should not know the ditty details!! I actually spent 10 minutes going frm one room to the other, thinking whether i shud call or not and decided that its best to confront. Although I knew I'm even worse at confronting people. But then I don't know how, outav the blue, not exactlybut khyr I did call !!
Yahoo!!
And finally after the 1-minute long 'ermmm' and really stupid questions abt food, your grandmother,people in general etc, I got to the point and said sorry !

I felt so relieved, honestly.

So well yup, thats it and Jazakallah for the sweet comment.


P.S: This is your 12 th comment. Celebrate!!
