These boots are made for walkin'...

These Boots are made for Walkin'
by Nancy Sinatra/Jessica Simpson

Remember this old song...
Well, the ones pictured above certainly fit the bill!
Walked for 2 hours around Oxford/Bond/Regent/Every-other-bloody Street for these because Umar wanted to get particularly THESE ones!

Courtesy of Umar, Dave & I got lost 3 times...
I thought that was impossible to do in a that short a time-span!

Hence,
Never got a chance to get my Diesel jeans!
Because by the time we did find the Diesel store, we had to go back to get some dinner...

To think...
People say that women are hard to shop with!
(at least they know exactly where to go!)

Ladies Night...

Canterbury Babes: Hashee, Sandy & Vix

Mix with Friends.
Nothing else Needed.

One of those nights last night.
Had a day off the next day.

Gossiped about nothing important.
Did nothing worthwile.
Watched nothing on TV.
Walked around the halls for nothing.
Nothing at all.

Felt really good! :-)

I guess,
Best friends cost nothing too.
Because when you are with them,
Nothing is all you need.

Flic's Souvenir...

... and when friends do leave you something behind,
it usually is something that you don't need!

Thanks Flic!
heheheheh...

Relief Concert Nov. 2005

South-Asia Quake Relief Concert

Got the chance to go to a wonderful concert last Saturday night with me sis & bro-in-law.
Everyone, and I mean everyone from the Pakistani-pop scene was there...
Sheraz Uppal, Humera Arshad, Haroon, Fakhir, Strings, Jal, Ali Azmat AND Jawad Ahmad

Amazing...
Never missed home so bad!
Never had so much fun.

Weekend Off...

Go out before Burn-out!

Had the best weekend ever...
Well, not really.
But it certainly was very good and very well-deserved...
My routine was: (1) Study (2) Eat (3) Study (4) Go-out!
Sheesh... got to me!
Nothing like family to get things in perspective!

That's my nephew btw...

In My Breath...

Hamari Saanson Mein...
Noor Jehan

Hamari saanson mein aaj tak woh heena ki khushbhoo mehak rahi hai
In my breath, the scent of henna is still lingering today
Labon pe naghme machal rahe hain
On my lips, songs are dancing,
nazar se masti jhalak rahi hai
in my looks, mischief is twinkling

Woh mere nazdeek aate aate hayaa se ek din simat gaye they
Inching towards me, he shly gathered himself
Mere khayalo-n mein aaj tak
Till today, in my thoughts
woh badan ki daali latak rahi hai
his body's youthfulness is swaying

Sadaa jo dil se nikal rahi hai woh sher-o-naghmo-n mein dhal rahi hai
This cry coming from my heart finds its way in verses and songs
Ke dil ke aangan mein jaise
As if in the lap of my heart,
koi ghazal ki dhaandhar khanak rahi hai
the beat of a poem is throbbing

Tadap mere bekharar dil ki kabhi To un-pay asar karey-gi
My restless heart's tremor will surely affect him one day
Kabhi to woh bhi jalengay isme
Some day, he too will burn
jo aag dil main dahek rahi hai
in the fire that in my heart is smouldering

Madonna
Confessions on the Dance Floor

Coming soon...

The new single:
"Hung Up"
Out now.

Whether You Fall
by Tracy Bonham
Whether it’s the sunshine, whether it’s the rain
Doesn’t make a difference ‘til you complain
Whether it’s the water coming in from the roof
Does it piss you off that you’re not water proof
Whether you fall means nothing at all
It’s whether you get up

The Barbican Theatre: Tracy Bonham

What a wonderful Concert...

Got the chance to visit The Barbican Theater.
Absolutely delightful Tracy Bonham was playing...
A lovely enchanting Evening!

Thanks Vidaltxo for taking me... :-)

One of my favourite pictures...
Just perfectly captured the moment.

One of those Perfect Sunny Sunday Afternoons that any uncle can spend with his nephew... :-)

Persuasive Pitch...

Something I was very proud of:

"A very persuasive pitch from Asad on your behalf.
Hence, I am willing to accept the team as is and will try to devise an
International Consultancy Engagement related
to mobile telecoms for you."

Prof. Robert Pye
Senior Lecturer in Strategy & International Business
Postgraduate Business Programmes (MBA & MSc)

Believe me!
Coming from Prof. Pye. This is a major compliment!
Somehow, he reminds me of my ex-boss.

some1 pink...

Legally Blonde

Victoria Charlesworth.
The sweetest, cutest & nicest law-undergrad u are going to meet!
It's uncanny how much she is like the original Legally Blonde
Here is a list:

- Blonde
- Doing Law
- Loves Pink (everything in her room is pink)
- Writes with a feathered ball-pen (mind you, she IS studying criminal law!)
- Just as sweet...

We love u Vix! :-) 

Come through my window...

It's Competition.

See that window there...
With the light on!
There is a guy in that window who is always studying!
Urrrgh...
Makes me feel like a runt!

I guess he's my sole-source-of-inspiration to keep reading! :-P
I just sat-up! And he is STILL there!!!

Grrrrr...
(or maybe he is just blogging all the time!) :-) 

Scientists say she's the 2nd sunshine...

Picture from Hell

Hell of a good time that is...

Oooof! Crazy crazy crazy!
I don't even remember taking this picture... ;-)
Juni & I are looking pissed.

And I don't remember what the hell was so funny...!?

Geisha

Memoirs of a Geisha

The phenomenal Rob Marshal (Chicago) is back. Memoirs of a Geisha is a sweeping romantic epic set in a mysterious and exotic world that still casts a potent spell today. The story begins in the years before WWII when a penniless Japanese child is torn from her family to work as a maid in a geisha house. (trailer)

Danni Minogue: Camera Crazy...

Danni Minogue Concert! :-)

"Put the needle on it"

Yowzza!
Saw her in concert last night...
Hot hot hot!!! Danced till morning.
Waddled in at 6AM!

Played "Put the needle on it" and "Perfection".
Absolutely superb show.
Took pics and made mobile-movies like crazy...

Definately a night to remember! Heheheh 

CLUB: Prioritizing People...

Is it OK to list people down priority-wise?

Just wondering...
Listing people down by priority from all the phone-numbers I gathered last night!
How bad... isn't it?

It's like a to-do list, but not for tasks... for persons!

Infact,
The list should be named:

WHO-To-DO!

Awww c'mon. Everyone does that. Everyone has likings. Everyone likes one person better than the other person. We just keep a diplomatic approach that we like everyone the same.

But we don't... do we?
Aaah... back to the list! 

Toni & Girl!

Toni & Guy: New Haircut

The mop-top is gone...
Got a hair-cut last night.

I miss my curls!!!

But, I do like the new look...
Apparently, everyone in the hall says that's very posh!

I know, this is so superficial...
But, hey... every little bit is life.

from hair-cuts to pay-cuts.
it's all here!

so, do u like it? 

Wish.

The Genius: Ang Lee

Brokeback Mountain
Set against the sweeping vistas of Wyoming and Texas, the film tells the story of two young men who meet in the summer of 1963, and unexpectedly forge a lifelong connection, one whose complications, joys and tragedies provide a testament to the endurance and power of love.

Smells Like Cheap Curry...

Teen Spirit = Cheap Curry.

Ugghhh...
Umar was over.
We went out and got "sastee pakistani curry" (aka inexpensive... well u know that i mean!)
He ate it in my room. Now it smells like "garam masala"!
Aargh... hate that!

Then went to Tesco with Tom as he wanted to get something for Mark as he was sick.
THEN went to Tesco AGAIN with Hashee as she wanted to get something for herself as she was sick!

Man...
Apparently, tonite I was fuckin'-florence-Nightingale for everybody! :-)
ooooOOooh...
I think I am getting sick now!

Help. Like. Crazy.

Desperate Times. Dire Help.

In a church,by the face, He talks about the people going under.
Only child know... A man decides after seventy years,
That what he goes there for, is to unlock the door.
While those around him criticize and sleep...
And through a fractal on a breaking wall,
I see you my friend, and touch your face again.
Miracles will happen as we trip.
But we're never gonna survive, unless...
We get a little crazy!

No we're never gonna survive, unless...
We are a little...

One night at Knightsbridge

Get-together at Knightsbridge

Can you believe this apartment?
Was invited to a small party at Knightsbridge!

That area of London, is not posh...
rather
It's loaded!

Nothing but intimidation. The people there were mostly investment bankers. Met a wonderful russian girl there who is working for Meryl Lynch and she is just 22 yrs old! Can you imgine?!?

Had a great time though. :-)

p.s.
Now I know why Knightsbridge was so expensive in Monopoly!
