Of Short Hair, Lesbian Boyfriends and the Smell of Dope

Just hit 24 hours since I got to good ol' LUMS (SLUM as a couple of the Zameers call it) n already there's all sorts of interesting stuff happened. Problems crop up like little bunny rabbits all over the place. Don't think that's an appropriate analogy but that's all I can think of right now. Obviously, no problem is ever quite that cute.

Sometimes, it's not simply enough that you lose respect for people and can no longer think of them decently. What's worse is when people do things that actually make the level of respect "descend into negative". That's really about the only way I can really describe it. Lemme know if you know the feeling.

Then there's the little matter of CHOICE! I understand it's supposed to be free and all but there just has to be a limit to how much you can exploit your own free choice to your disadvantage! There should be a law against people being so stupid as to make fools out of themselves. This isn't as much about fooling oneself as being plain silly and doing something just for the sake of satisfying a minute little desire that, even if left unsatisfied, wouldn't really matter much in the long-run. I'm all for going after what you want, but is desire really worth degradation?

Ali, you need to think about this too.

Then there's the little matter of the new people in my wing. Not like they're new or anything. Just that they're new to the wing. Everything feels different somehow. In the words of Amer Awan, people move around in the dorm and face cultural shock 'coz each wing has it's own identity. Hum hi KKG hain jo apnay wing mein rehtay howay hi cultural shock mila hai!

I realize this is the longest post here in qiute a while. Considering how much I've done over the summer, this is kinda odd. Didn't feel like writing at all in the summers though--atleast not on the blog. Wrote a bit on paper for a change. Ages since I did any significant writing on paper. It still holds the same charm. I've always found it easier to do. Think better with a pen in my hand. Hitting keys just isn't the same rush!

I also had a pen.

you're right about the respect thing, saad....when people fall off the pedestals you put them on, its just blegh- we all need someone who's perfect, someone who never does the wrong thing, burps or smells bad.

Saad F'akhtar said...

I totally respect people who can burp well!!! Burping is a talent and skill honed with a great deal of practice! Personally I don't put people on pedestals 'coz that's just not me. I prefer to be able to look people in the eye. What I meant precisely was that I respect people for who they are but sometimes some people just do things that make them look bad. Bad choices, wrong decisions, stupidity, whatever you wanna call it.

Making bad choices intentionally? To be a rebel and what not?

I dont respect my freinds, i love them. intentionally stupidity is tantamount to suicide as far as im concerned.
