Random stuff...

This is going to be one of those posts which makes no real sense but here it is any way..


  • how is it possible that every gora guy looks cute to me? it cant be possible that every gora guy in this city is cute or that my company employs cute goras by the truckload?? at the same time how is it that i spot the ugliest desi guys ever?? it has been extremely rare when i have seen a cute/good looking desi guy walking about and that too with a lack of long greasy unkempt hair, stubble and low slung jeans, all signs of coolness to some, which to me look completely gross! where are all the good looking pakis of the world/dubai hiding?? (scratches head)
  • moving on, i was told the most bizarre thing yesterday. maybe it was a bit more than bizarre something in the range of huh! i'm standing waiting for the bus when i spot the librarian from the academy, so i go over and say hello and we speak for a bit. now this is not your everyday librarian. she's a 20 something south african who is completely chilled out and really fun. she was standing with a bunch of her south african friends when one of them goes, where are you from? to which i say Pakistan. he looks at me like im someone really strange and says that my accent sounded like a mix of british and south african accents, not paki at all!! where did this come from?? british i get, its the academy talking. i think i acquired this because of speaking nothing but english for the past three years surrounded by native speakers. the south african bit is totally unexplainable coz the only southafrican i really spoke to was mike who did not have an accent! all i can say is hmmm..
  • this brings me to the next point, and people i really need feedback here, is paki an insult? i mean is calling someone a paki the same as calling an african-american a nigger?? this is what i read on a blog but i really dont think so. ive always considered it a short form for pakistan!
  • oh and bloody friggin ibn batuta shall hence forth be reffered to as the serpentine monstrosity! shaitan ki aant kay jaise chalta jata hai!! whose bloody idea was it to make it stretch on for miles!! atleast dubai airport has conveyor belts this is without even a mall map so basically i go around in circles without reaching anywhere!

I was told that I have a German accent (Somehow!!), although I do not really know many Germans in the first place, weird!

I dislike Ibn Battuta for that, MoE is bigger, but at least it's spread out on 3 floors, not one freakin' level, how long is the distance from one end to the other???!! at least 1 km, worse is: it has curves, corridors are not straight like MoE!

How is work going?
