Not enough

Uncharacteristically, first thing Saturday morning, before I even washed up, I turned on the television in the living room. What I saw I could not believe.

I cant bear the thought that I have a Sehri every morning and an Iftar every evening while there are people fasting and sifting through rubble at the same time. People who have not got anything left to their name are still helping others selflessly. Eloquence was never my thing and ofcourse there are people out there who can express their feelings much better than I can. All I can say is, please please please donate. Donate whatever you can... no wait.. donate a bit more than that. We still wont be going hungry, we still wont be homeless, cold or without the basics which we take for granted. If we dont spend a bit on ourselves this time it wont ruin us. All the major organisations are taking donations. Do your bit, clothes, money.. whichever way you can, just do it. And pray our efforts go a little bit towards easing the pain of others. May Allah have mercy on us all.

Shoot to thrill So I just finished watching Inception (yes I know I am only a year or so behind the times). I took the plunge today with a full understanding (or so I thought) of the concept of the movie and what to expect. Oh Em Geeee... was I in for a shock and such an excellent one at that. A brilliantly executed idea and thankfully, for once, an original one. I have to say I cant remember the last time I watched a movie which wasnt a sequel, prequel, reboot or connected to some other movie idea/concept in some way, shape, form or aspect. Yes it can be argued it goes into the augmented reality side of things which has been used many times before but this is a very refreshing take on the genre. I like how the movie asked or answered questions that were popping into my head as I watched the movie (yes even though I do prefer the no brainer movies, but I do like to keep an inquisitive mind). One thing I couldnt believe is how the guy out of Third Rock from the sun actually pulled off a

So one thing I havent mentioned on here (primarily as before this latest stint, I have blogged only twice in the 5 and a bit years I have taken it up)is my interest/love/hate of motorbikes. I say hate (strong word) but its not necessarily that... It is just a case of not having sympathy when the things go wrong (and boy some have had their share... not naming names Honda CBF125...oops). So yes when I realised I was spending a month and a bit's salary a year on train tickets where the trains were horrendously bad in service (not naming any names First Great Western now known as Great Western Railway... (As a wise man known as Britney Spears once said... Ooops I did it again :) ) Brackets within brackets... how novel) I thought there has to be a better way. So one day as I was browsing through the buy/sell ads on the work intranet (read : was wasting time), in a shining light from above kinda moment, I saw an advert for a scooter with fuel consumption of 130mpg. In my little head (

So blogging via a phone is not quite as easy as I thought it may be. But still gonna give it a go... Actually , nopes, cant be bothered. Still need a proper keyboard to do this. This of course coming from the guy who gets and replies to a million and one (like totally literally) messages on WhatsApp on his phone everyday. Plus little H is getting cranky so gotta go see what's what. Laterz pataterz.
