My Battle Through Laziness

I love my couch too!

I know it's been long (almost ages) since I last blogged, but I am finally done with all my high school exams and will now be blogging frequently. My exams ended like a month ago and I thought I wouldn't do ANYTHING and just chill out. Before even a week could pass with this new-found resolution, I was dreading to do something. Actually, my emotional state was quite funny at that time. I wanted to do something but at the same time, I didn't want to do anything. You could call it extreme laziness. I even grew tired of being a couch potato! Sure, I watched a lot of anime and movies and TV and all that, but then I started feeling like "Come on! Another movie?? Do they ever end??" I actually wanted all the movies in the world to end so at least I could proudly proclaim that I had watched every movie on this planet! That I could actually proclaim to have done something!

Stage Fright and Stumbling Students

Hello everyone! This post comes from a blogger friend of mine. Mario Elia is a movie buff and blogs at Waffle Reviews. Do check out his blog when you're thinking about a movie to watch! Happy Reading 

Having nothing to say is a universal issue, it affects even the best of us. Whether it is in a social situation or in the middle of a job interview, we all try to avoid going blank.

Why Do I Blog?

So, I was reading +Ryan J Williams' post "The Purpose Of Blogging" and am compelled to write about my own reasons for blogging. This blog is very young and I'm simply in love with the world of blogging. Here's why:

You Get To Have Your Say

What I post is my say, what you comment is yours and a kaleidoscope of opinions forms. Bloggers and readers from all the various aspects of life (and yeah, timezones too) can interact and a whole new world opens up. I don't know, I just like to hear opinions (I'm the listening kind) and I can spend all day reading blogs, commenting and replying to the comments that some nice folks leave here. I have quite a long blogroll and I'll share it with you people if you want me to.

Reasons You Should Make Pen Pals

Sorry folks, I haven’t blogged for quite a few days, but I was into some blogging stuff and made a few friends on the way. This prompted me to write on pen pals and here I am.

Don't Talk to Strangers! Pen Pals!

How I Came Across Pen Pals

Blogging is fun in various ways, one of which is that you get to make new friends - friends that are not barred by the boundaries of countries, religions or
race. I was never a person with zillions of friends and I still am not. I do have friends though, just not too many. With having a lot of friends, things can get quite messy. Everyone’s asking for time, expectations get heightened and you (or they) fail to touch the mark. Then there are secrets, preferences, jealousy, relationships, but I’m a guy so I’m clean on that. However, pen friends or pen pals have turned out to be quite an exciting episode for me.

My Eid Experience

This post is about how I spent my Eid. It has to with religion and for people other than Muslims, Eid is our own festival of merriment, just as Christmas is for Christians :) If this doesn't interest you, you can always wait for my next post :D

Thanks to +Shayan Ahmed  and +fakiha iram for the suggestions :)

It all started last night, Chaand Raat or the eve before Eid, whatever you settle on calling it. Out of the blue, my sister decided on getting henna (mehendi) applied on her hands. I was asked to be the driver and I

How to be an achiever

Some pointers on becoming an achiever

Good grades, physical fitness or proficiency in anything as random as gardening – achieving is the key, and the key to achieving is hard work. Though learning processes do vary from task to task, here are some fundamental ideas aside from hard work that would apply to achieving almost anything. 

Defenders Of The Sea - Navy's Importance

Me and my younger brother were talking to my dad about the water shortage (we face one these days). The discussion eventually drifted off to sea and the navy. This is what followed:

Nothing fancy this time, this is just a little opinion of mine. I went to visit a very dear friend, who happens to be my neighbour too. Whenever we want to get away from the "home" air, we text and meet up. And yeah, when there's nothing to do, we watch TV together.

We were watching TV at his place when his mom informed us that the electrician had arrived. I was kinda baffled, I knew they didn't have any plans for any
