3 years passed since Islamabad Metroblog’s initiation …. we saw phases.
- no meetups.
- Noops not at all .. like we are shy people (yeah sure … I’ve just recently figured out that I can be anti-shy too :P)
- Khair finally one of the metroblogger initiated and DUH … everyone ditched the poor guy :s
So the time passed … and passed ….people came and people left …
- considering I almost know all of them … I wanted to have a good meetup before I leave (yet to achieve 1000 posts mile stone
) .. so this time I mailed around that we are having a meetup this day this place so you people better come.
So finally today we had our meetup … 6 people showed up which is pretty good .. the coffee served was yummiest .. thanks to Talha Bhai I paid zero
And he brought such a lovely card that everyone signed and loads of emotional duayein too. Shukar hay Allah ka the tears didn’t come out … warna he tried his best. I’ve yet to go in that mode =P It was awesome meeting Asim and Mansoor again, meeting TMB for first time, and meeting fahim, hshim and monazza and another kid I didn’t get to know his name :S
And man my Irish Cappuccino was YUMMY … the weather was beautiful.
ps: IMB so feel like a baby itself … i’ve nearly 800 posts up in there and I still remember how me and Talha bhai initiated the idea. How came up with first few bloggers .. Haa. Memories. Beautiful memories.
Can I get a bit emotional here ? Sigh.

Not for wedding but till I take off from work.
Working on a pretty boring thing that is making me go to ultimate sleep-land for last two hours. So I’m literally counting hours till the day my holidays begun. I’m pretty tired now =|
Khair … I was just wondering why everyone (read EVERYONE) asks “Are you excited about your wedding?” As days are approaching near … I’m getting tensed up ‘coz of umpteen things pending … ~ But still excitement yaani kay kiya? Should I go hopping in the nearby park? (kangaroos are cute wesay)
Yet to create partitions in my lappy and well havent shifted to it YET.
ps: read the title like u may read “ashes to ashes; dust to dust”.
pps: there’s this Islamabad Bloggers meetup in Islamabad today. Bad that they chose a working day ~ that too monday and equally worst event hours. So I’ve dropped the idea of going.

Yo
Sun Basking
This stylish piece comes to me all the way from Kangaroo-land … and man I’m totally loving it. Still to do partitioning, installations stuff …. but yup I’ll stay with it happily
Cheerio!

The other day I was trying on some jewelry for a change. After the whole session … conclusion was simple … wearing jewelry is so not me. Like any other sane girl … I LOVE JEWELRY … but can sanity be complete without some dash of insanity? I think not.
So the catch is I rarely wear any. I love collecting them and then they may lye here and there … with all my shauq being pooorafied.
So I vowed to myself this evening…night rather that I’ll wear the ring for some days. And just few minutes back I put that back in box Coz while wearing it another demon hit me … it just doesn’t look good on my hands :/ OK dont say nay nay it looks good coz I’ve obviously bit processed this image :P But seriously. I feel so jealous when I see girls round wearing humongous jewelry with so much ease like 24/7. And here I’m … Ikhtilaj e qalb is what I get after few hours of shauq … sigh.
OK its raining and thunder-storming and I’m so loving it but Allah khair rakhay … not everyone around is sitting witha heater few inches away.
I love jewelery laikin.
And yeah after ages I posted a picture JUST FOR MY DEARIE BLOG ♥ 
Flickr can wait till tomorrow night
ps: I’m not trying to make my blog look feminish here It’s just me …
ppS: I’ve comments to reply to here …. Inshah Allah kal.
ppps: ♥ is in the title coz I liked the symbol

Feeling a bit stressed up at the moment … so much to do and I feel a bit dis-oriented at the moment.
Trying but the list I need to prepare hasn’t materialized on paper yet and the office starts again. Another blue Monday.
I always love the winter season … but it sure is a bit depressive … times when you want to leave everyone around to go in jungles (mind it we still have a few jungles around here). And then the reality hits. Not too many everyones are there around. And the ones who are ~ you don’t want to leave them.
Haaa.
Tried taking the A & U dose too … didn’t much help. So to lower down my mood … I need to listen to something real … err… Ballay Ballay type.
Balle Balle ….
Enjoy the music at full volume *_*
To enjoy the real punjabi Balle Balle ni taur’h punjaban dii waala song … clickety. Just the lyrics
Prayers … hmm!

I’m absolutely tired of the way our Information Ministry and Media is handling the whole Mumbai issue and then this happening today. Two Indian fighter planes violated the air boundaries of Pakistan, were chased by our planes and left at last. But its a HUGE Open threat. No? Instead of strongly condemning the act .. our Info Minister, Sherry Sahiba, says that the event was just a mistake and media need not to create hype about it. Yeah sure … go on Ms. Minister and all the governmental allies. We have already given ourselves to be made fools again and again. Where the heck is our ego and sense of National dignity sleeping? Is it off for another long hibernation beauty sleep?
I was totally annoyed when this statement was shown by channels.
And yeah our news channels are no less. Constantly they are showing videos of Fareedkot - the town where its been said that one of the arrested Mumbai attacks involvee belongs. Even though I’ve yet to see a person who wold clearly say that yeah he used to live here, I’ve seen him and his family here. The videos are all about speculations. Speculations. And speculations. People narrating rumors and our media is trying to put a definite stamp that yes he belonged to this town. Well Get a Life people. You need to prioritize issues here … definitely. On the other hand, when I see a few Indian news channels that I’ve access to (Sahara state channels mainly), they are doing their best effort to link everything (read in BOLD please) with Pakistan.
Stand up people. Raise some voice here. At least condemn what’s wrong. At least people of pakistan should raise voice against this You are right, Bro(or is it sis?) India, You are Right Uncle Sam … !
I’m so frustrated at this moment. This is not the Pakistan we lived in 10 years back. And it hurts.
Back to shaadi ki teyaariyaan now.

There’s another blogger around whose my hum-naam. I got quite confused by her comments on my post Her. Until I read her post.
And now I’m all ROFL-ing
If I see my post from a newbie’s eye … I know what people will get. A HE blogger who is love-struck and been ditched by some Her .. Oh my my my =D
Funny, innit
When I checked my Blog’s gender few days back, it gave me these results:
We think http://asma.eomag.com/ is written by a man (61%).
But people will genuinely think that I’m a man .. is kinda ROFL-ing ! Achi khasi girlish posts hoti hain, nahin
ps: look at the blog header too .. A boy crazy about mehndi .. errr

Seems like everyone I know around is getting married these winters. I was whining for some weddings to take place last year and here I am. Bombarded with them :~) Pakistani weddings are all about colors, joys, dhoom dhamaka, and loads of laughter. A few tears too ~ if you are on bride’s side (true for poor groom too? I wont be one ever ~ so can’t say) So many flavors. If you have attended your own wedding ~ do you think bride and groom gets to have as much fun? ;o)
May Allah bless these couples in eternal bliss. The happy starts stay happy. Inshah Allah.
Counting days … so much to do .. so little time. Now that I re-assessed things to do and time left .. I’m way too behind. At times doing things on your own gets tougher ~ specially in choosing stuff or even thinking of dress designs. Allah khair. I should hurry up. I need to make a list … for sure. Pardonez-moi, this para is for self-bashing. I’m already doing it, in my mind, after every few minutes ;) I dont want this nightmare to happen you know
Talking about weddings and marriages, a reader of my blog (and I’m sure many others too =P) forwarded me a link: Ten tips to be a Successful Husband. (I wont be one ever … YES) Jokes apart. Its well-written and well-collected. AanHadhrat Muhammad Mustapha SAWW’s life is referred again and again which is absolutely wonderful. What makes a relationship worth to be stayed in and to be cherished? Its teh few basic things in life that every human being yearns for. Some love, a few smiles, the feeling that my partner will stay put with me always, the trust. The fun and easy with the flow of tide moments in life. You can’t be stern, serious and well boring always
Then there’ I went on searching for few tips meant for wifeys. I found a few. Some left me with high blood pressure, I merely missed stroke Allah raham. A few were good enough genuinely. So 10 tips on becoming a successful wife. Good enough. Even though a few things are rubbed. And yeah, at least I’m light-hearted The elaborated version of this previous link gave me a boiling blood pressure. With the person advising the wife to act like a door-mat instead of a wife. Get some life.
I’m referring to the place where he says: “An argument is a fire in the house.” Extinguish it with a simple ‘I’m sorry’ even if it is not your fault.
In my not so humble opinion, it may extinguish the fire but you may lose your dignity and pride with it too. Saying I’m sorry means you accept the wrong here. Let the things cool down BUT ensure you make your point. Convey it. I wonder in a religion as broad-minded as Islam, why do scholars start entrapping women in unseen strings. Islam speaks of women rights too.
Have a read at length and tell what do you think of this?
ps: indulge in some mellow romantic number in background I’m in love with this number …. BTW, she says “Teri ore khenchay ~ Oh rabba“, can we categorize it as Sufistic lyrics
