It's Wet!
17th of August, 2004
Damp yet Dry - Hey there! It's been a while now a month to be exact. I just couldn't find any time to add to my journal. But now I'm relatively free, got nothing to do expect write a few new articles for my site. The truth is I'm just waiting now because in September my college starts. Everyone tells me college life is just the best, nothing like it. Well I hope mine's not going to be any different, yet still I see the images from the past. It wasn't easy growing up a potential target. People lunging in at you at the slightest mistake you make, people literally just walking over you as if to say 'Hey, is there something on the ground?' humph, been there done that.
Anyways I need not to bore you with my sappy story; my journal's enough for that!! Lately it's been kind of weird around me. Family tensions, the new house being built, shifting and what not, plus my site to update and the new forum to make, and I can't forget the few friends that never picked on me, keeping in contact with them. Hectic, that's all I can say about past month.
The title for this journal might have surprised you. And so far the only thing wet is got to be me going to the bathroom!! Actually it's been raining like Hell these past two weeks. Not many thunderstorms or lightning but lots of rain. The area I live in is considered the worst place to be in Lahore when it rains. There's no road in front of my house, the few traces of the existence of a road have all gone. It always rains a lot this time of year, all the Monsoon winds head in this direction from Bangladesh and Karachi. Even as I type it's raining outside. Oh there's goes some thunder! And what's even freaky is that I'm listening to a song called Storm!!
As I was saying, because of the lack of a proper road here, the gutters have no protection and easily pop off with the rain. Then it overflows and you got a stink-fest right outside your house. That's the reason why we're moving, that and the neighbors. The ones to the left of us are third class singers. These guys never sleep at night, all night they play their accursed music (it's terrible). To the right are people who give a totally new meaning to the word neighborly love. They broke into our house and stole some really costly stuff! We weren't here then. Then there's the folk that live across the road… or what's left of it! I've never seen these guys come out of their house, sometimes in the morning ok but only sometimes. They really creep me out because when I do see them they act like Afghani Refugees giving sanctuary to that bastard Osama Bin Ladin! I don't know if it's really the case but those guys are weird!!
That's one thing I've noticed here. Everyone here has a very obscure impression of religion. In my religion (Islam) we read the Holy Qur'an (our Holy Book) and it tells us that a day will come when believers will read The Book only to enter Heaven, while the non-believers shall read The Book for guidance and that of the latter shall always prosper. That's exactly what's happening here. There was a time when the Muslim community was the most prosperous community in the world both spiritually and intellectually. Did you know that Sulphuric Acid was first created by a Muslim scientist; a Muslim created the first make-up equipment and also performed the first hair transplant! A Muslim scientist calculated the Mass, Diameter, Volume of the Globe just by standing on a hill and his calculations are so accurate they've baffled scientists around the world!! And now! The word Islam is shown with a gun. A once peaceful religion turns barbaric by a bunch of stupid assholes who don't even know what the word 'religion' means! I say just grab these kinds of people be whatever religion they're wrecking and just shoot them and leave their bodies for vultures. I don't think vultures would even accept such vile!
Alright! Wait focus, no temper!! Think happy thoughts, LaLa land, yes you are now in LaLa land, see the breeze the purple cats and blue trees and… … … umm… I think that's enough for this entry… Good bye!
