'Bakra' (Goat) Market in Kuwait

This is the Bakra Market in Dhaher,Kuwait. I went to visit my parents in Kuwait and I wanted to eat some goat so I had to get one:) I know all u veggies are hating me but meh it balances out possibly some how. But goats are freaking expensive let me tell you that.

Finally a good sunday.....wait

Its a brilliant morning, birds are singing, the suns out doing what its supposed to do after all this time and I am doing what I am supposed to do...WATCHING CRICKET!! Never, never again am I going to support India,. Have you no shame losing to the same team again and freaking again and again.....even the commentators took a dig at us.

"No asian team has made it, they have all been knocked out." Bob Willis

"..had kaif been in the way of that shot, he would have been carried along with it to the boundary." Rameez Raja

"Harbhajan Singh is India's main strike bowler." Ravi Shastri

"...Ponting has hit bhaji for a four, ....Symonds has hit him for a four, .....Martyn has hit him for a four." Everyone


Although I have to admit the Rameez comment was hilarious. But getting back to our cricket team none of our pace bowlers fired except the mallu dancing doll, Sreesanth, who got in the team because Agarkar was injured. Son of a @!##$!!!!

Thats it from now on tata (bye bye) men in blue, South Africa is my new team now. GO PROTEAS!!!



Btw thats us at 'The Departed' show.....Tarrie, Trudy, Khyati and moi.






So I wake up early to see India get utterly anhilated by the Aussies and I am hungry, NOT a good Sunday.

Nigh-in-gale

Cryptic feelings harboured in a tick of the beat
The beat skips the worthy to live in its own heat
With smashing moons to show from all that beauty
A rearing horse in front of a timid sky with gutless glory
She sings like an unheard nightingale in misery
The nightingale tells its tale not in misery but mayb in secrecy

So here we go to capture that nightingale
To hear its tale in all its ways
TO feel the solitude amidst the thousands stars
To be the first to hear that forbidden song

Three set out to hear the forbidden words
A hero, a lover, a broken soul
With each on his own purpose
Weary to others but the life of eachs own

The hero crashes through on his stallion
Fighting through all he sees
He burns his demons
He brings peace he knows
He slays evil on sight with every blow
He beleives in good and the forbidden words
But suddenly he must let go
Not a whisper he hears and he has lost
The people he saved have stabbed him whole
He cannot believe that he is in a whole
God bless his soul for he was a noble soul


The lover rides on his faith in love
Hustling sorrow with every drop of doves blood
He loves his hatred
He kisses demons to angels
He cries diamonds when love must triumph
He beleives in good and the forbidden words
But suddeny he must let go
Not a whim of her he smells
The lady he loved ate him as a whole
He cannot beleive his heart is black
God bless his soul for he was a nobel soul


The broekn soul prays to his solitude
Crying to make a river an ocean
He pulls a thread of happiness
He tells people solitude is angelic
He laments his thoughts in a parody of faith
He beleives in good and the forbidden words
But suddenly he must let go
Not a tear of happiness
His thread cut hin through
He cannot beleive his life has meaning on a whole
God bless his soul for he was a noble soul


How all they die if I tell you will be a certain lie
But you must know that It was her in her singing die
The nightingale killed them one by one from the corner of her eye
The forbidden words were now you must die
She sang these on her black throne from the icy peak
As she sings more lives to destroy she seeks

My Top 10 Movies : PART 1

These are my top 10 movies of all time from Hollywood in no particular order.

1. The Godfather Trilogy: Starring Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino this movie is a must watch for all movie loving folk. No one can possibly not like this movie, It makes an offer you can't refuse.

Quote: I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse.





2. The Matrix Trilogy: Gives u a head rush no other movie can possibly give. Amazing script and concept, definitely up there.

Quote: My name … is Neo!





3. Fight Club: I ran. I ran until my muscles burned and my veins pumped battery acid. Then I ran some more. Smart as hell and a pure masterpiece.

Quote: Self-improvement is masturbation. And self-destruction.



4. Braveheart: Everytime Wallace yells freedom it just makes you want to yell too.

Quote: they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!



5. Old School: A movie meant for the ages that gives you the right to laugh out loud.

Quote: I see Blue, He looks glorious!




Well thats the first part, the 2nd part will be up soon.

Hilarious Pic

Midterms,champions trophy, randomness and more midterms

Soooo cute:) Mashallah

EID MUBARAK!!! Been ages since I wrote anything here, and it better have been like that for me to get through these 2 weeks. Again EID MUBRAK!! I exaggerate cuz i was studying on all three days of eid, but meh its all over.

Saw Scorcese's The Departed and oh yeah wht a movie. "Nobody gives it to ya, ya gotta take it." Jack Nicholson nails his part, good to see him back in a gangsta flick after a decade of freakin messed up comedies. Other than that had amazing fun at LAF ( Learning and Fun) , had this hyper active kid to take care of and trust me he was hyper active. It took two mentors to settle him down n get some work done (umm drawing cars).

Other than that been watching the Champions trophy, when you can't sleep for more than 3 hrs no matter what, you study and watch cricket. Kiwis and SA through which just slaughtered my dream of an India vs Pakistan Final. DAMN!!!

There is tonnes of randomness i want to write about but damn just too god damn lazy.....

Finally, a big congrats to Hira for getting hitched and may you have a good one:) and i say to you something i just learned Quos amor verus tenuit, tenebit.


Dropkick Murphys - I'm shipping upto Boston

The Cathedral

This is one of the best animations I have ever seen. The background music, the angles are great. As far as the plot is concerned, I think its about a guy trying to find the ever elusive answer to everything.

Its getting cold.....

You are my sunshine my only sunshine ohh take the rain awayyy....its been steadily gettin colder and I hate it. I am missing the sun and its all gloomy just before my research outlines are due and a week of midterms too. I hate it. So what I am going to do other than sing...sing and study and enjoy ramadan with tonnes of good food:)

Today is Tarrie's Bday....my Grenadian bud (Grenada - Paradise being towed by a boat) he is 23 and I gifted him a chicken sandwich. He loved it, further asserting the stereotype that black people love chicken and its beautiful. If you can't love chicken you do not deserve to live. I ain't hating on the vegetarians, just that if you have tried it and you hate it, you do not believe in God. There I said it.

Chicken aside champions trophy coming up and India better not choke, and Ferrari how could you blow a freaking engine. DAMN YOU...DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL !!!

I am a Leaf on the Wind...Watch How I Soar

A leaf on the wind...watch how i soar
Like a blaring wind...watch me roar
Bit by bit i dont need
Bit by bit I acheive

A fine sword.....watch me stop death
Like a wave....watch me swallow
Bit by bit I hate
Bit by bit i empatize

A blade of grass...watch me in the dew
Like a monk....watch me pride in solitude
Bit by bit i can go away
Bit by bit I will still care

A rock in the river....watch me withstand
Like a beleiver....watch me endure in pain
Bit by bit I wont be moved
Bit my bit i make my point

A week of school..

A week of school is about to end. For the first few days I was happy to be back, and then it hits me. This is going to go on for 8 months. Damn!!
Taking a couple software design courses, optimisation and AI. The AI prof is a jerk, and yes I mean it a real JERK. I think he is a Gypsy. Well, no plans for the weekend as yet, hopefully will play some cricket like the gully cricket in India and go to TO to help some ppl move.

That's just a pic of my niece Maryam, she was trying to bite my finger:)
