Life's fun !

My cat tried to snack on the lizard who was living peacefully in our garden until now, he spotted the little creature right on top of the tube light which was fixed to the wall above the window, My cat jumped on the open window pane and then he carefully placed himself half on the window ledge and half on the tube light. The lizard moved quickly away to the other end of the tube light and as my cat followed he completely shifted his weight on the tube light which sent the fixture and the glass rod crashing to the ground and my cat who was now hanging from the window Jumped to the ground, away from the wreckage. Alerted by the crashing sound I ran to my cat, The lizard by now, was away from his sight and behind a pot. I placed the cat behind the door and cleaned the wreckage, It was evening and I had to get the light fixed as it is the only light source for our garden and front yard, To add to my misery at the electric shop the electrician was not available and another customer (a bank Manager) was waiting for him since an hour to fix the fuse of his house. I bought a florescent lamp (Tube) from there and came back home, I knew I had to place this tube light else where or my cat will surely repeat the scene. I took out my tools and drilled 2 holes in the roof of our car porch, Stuffed the holes with wood plugs, secured the tube light fixture with Screws, wired it and finally fixed the tube to it and turned it on.

In these 2 days
I have been an electrician, A computer wiz (Fixed my uncle's PC), A web designer (have just finished uploading my clients site), A plumber ( Fixed a tap and sealed a year old bullet hole in our water pipe which was used to transfer water to the over head tank), a photographer, a car electrician ( Fixed a new cassette player to our car) , A chief ( I Cooked Chinese) and a junk dealer (A bought an old cattle from another Junk dealer for Rs.10 /=) .

Yeah I know you must be wondering " A BULLET Hole ! " .. I think I will explain it in my next post :) .

Thank you.

Early 1960z Morning 10:00 AM : (Thoughts)
" New year Night Tonight and I don’t have anything decent to wear! from the bounds of this hut I have to go to the dance party as usual, But today I must look different, I must smell Good, I must look Elite. Lets go shopping! But I have only 12 Ruppies in my pocket. "

An hour later at a shop:

I: "Show me those trousers and that blue shirt"
Him: " Jee Sahab"
I: "and give me that matching Coat as well"
Thought: " Looks good "
I: " Ok! lets pack it"
Him: " Acha Jee "

At another Shop :

I: " Show me these boots"
Thought: "will be perfect " .
I: " Ok please pack them "

Back at home: (Thoughts)

" Hmm,, lets iron these , No one will miss me at home tonight, they don’t care, Thank God the dance flour will be all bright and shiny today, *Sigh*

A few hours later at the dance flour:

She: "Mister Ahmed ! You look fabulous today! New Suit for the new year ? "
I: " Yes, Thanks for the compliments"
She: " Shall we dance ? "
I: "Sure "

3 AM in the morning : (Thoughts)

" Hmm .. Will I keep fooling my self with this shallow happiness, and others with old clothes and this cheap sample perfume " *SIGH* " Allah! Please help me"

15 Years later Sunday:

I: " Give me a cup of tea and then we will leave for the zoo "
Wife: " Hey you just had 2 cups, we are getting late"
I: " Just a single cup, then we will leave"
Wife: " Ok just a single Cup "
Son: " Papa we are getting late "
Elder daughter: " yeah papa, lets go "
I: " Ok lets go, leave the tea, Now everyone! Get in the car ! "

While driving to the zoo : (Thought)

" Thank you Allah "

Me, The Slayer !

You are a beast, you show mirages and when a person is completely spellbound at the sight of the water that he needs to quench his old thirst, you suck the very blood out of him. I know you, I know you hide behind the most beautiful faces. So beware, I will not let you suck my blood again, I will slay you, I will rip out your rotten and stinking heart, and I will make you eat it so you can feel it's ugliness - I will slay you so you don’t dare hurt another innocent soul ever again -

My Life - The Crazy Strings


Life - The Crazy Strings
Originally uploaded by Jamash.
My life's crazy, crazier then this crazy string, with no friends, siblings, or cousins and a strike to prevent me from leaving my house to some Art school or Art galleries, boredom sets in and out of this boredom I emptied 3 cans of crazy string today. This experimentation left me with a whole basket full of crazy strings, An string dangling from a moving fan forming a spiral, Lots and lots of crazy string dust around the room, 3 Cut open cans of crazy stings and the 3 Marbles I found in these cans when I cut them open.

I have photographed the crazy strings in a combination of 3 colors but due to low light I was unable to get a decent picture of the cut open cans, may be tomorrow I will, But for tomorrow I don’t have any more of these crazy strings !

Thought

This is what I always do.
I run after the Shadows,
And they haunt me in return.

Under the scorching sun,
A shadow I see again.
But No! Not This time,
I won't go for it,
I will let it go away.
