Feels like I am living my life with milestones. And that is freaking me out.

Sometimes you associate something with someone and all your life you just can’t get rid of that perception. When I was young, we had a teacher at school. Everyone at school used to call her Ms. Nusrat (though I’m not sure about Ms. tag); an old cynical lady, white-hair and a very nasty stare. An [...]

Few people have their planning meter broken. Literally. Otherwise, they won’t suggest starting a business in passive mode to gauge its potential in the first year; whether or not it is feasible to run it fully. I mean, come on, do some market research and then come up with a business plan.

Yasir[skeptic]questioned
I’ve become an arrogant programmer afterall. I look for flaws in the system before inspecting my own code for bugs. Confidence, they proclaim?

A homesick’s year in thoughts
Another year comes to the end. I turned 22. To be honest, I’m somehow afraid of getting older. Everyone’s afraid of mortality. It feels like sand sweeping under your feet standing on the shore. Nostalgia is the enemy of future. One year since I abandoned my city and come to Lahore in search of my [...]

Smudgy here reminded me of a chain-riddle heard when I was a child. I’m not sure if I can deliver it perfectly now, but anyhow, here it is:
Q1: How do you put a Giraffe in a fridge?
Ans: Open the door, put Giraffe inside, close the door.
Q2: How do you put an Elephant in a fridge?
