It finally happened...

I reached there at 7.45 am. Tensed throughout. About one month ago, I had the same feeling. Feeling of weirdness (yeah i do get dat). So I went to the room...sat...waited...prayed...prayed....prayed. And finally at 8.30 am I heard my name 'Hunyum Murya'. Me and three others stood up and left the room. We sat and waited...waited...and waited. I was the second one. 15 minutes later she called me in front. I got out and went to the front and here it all started.

I put the cushion down, sat on, adjusted the seat, adjusted the mirror, pulled the gear down, moved the gear to D, switched off the hazard, put the left signal and waited till the traffic cleared out. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8....9...10 and out. There I was on the road giving my second road test with no hopes of passing. Just wanted to do my best. She made me turn right, left, take a u-turn, then right and left and right and left again, and ofcourse changing the lane. These 15 minutes wre the most important of my life. And then i had to park. I parked got out left the door open for the other person and went back once again. After what seemed like a million years we finally arrived at the instute. And again I waited...waited...waited...waited... and waited. She called my name once again.

'Do you know what was your mistake Hunyum?'
'I think my u-turn was too sharp and so was my left turn.'
'No. That was no it. You left the door open while you got out of the car. And that was a hazard. And a hazard is a fail. You know that?'
'Yes...... so I fail!'
'Check yourself'

The paper was full of red stamps in arabic writing

'So I fail again'
'Read the P-A-S-S on the paper'

I PASSED! The pass was not prominent at all...what crazy shit man....I had actually PASSED! Hallelujah...

So here it is...I finally have my license....Im SOOOOOOOO happy!

*btw I might not write for the next two weeks because I have LOADS of test coming up!*

Blogolution

So I thought why not give my blog a new look, as in a new background and a new banner. So last night I sat down and thought about the new theme for my blog. I had to go through a chain of questions to answer my one big question. At last my question was answered. So this is what my theme will be for the time being until I wish to change again: Only God can judge me.

Another thing I found missing was the fact that my poor blog had no identity. No name, no meaning, no punch line. Come on now, saying ‘paranoidentity’ doesn’t help me at all. So I wanted to call my blog ‘____ Zone’. Well what other better word than Zany. And it sounds cool. Just say it ‘Zany Zone’, ‘Zany Zone’, ‘Zany Zone’. Sounds cool… doesn’t it? Well for you people out there who do not know the meaning of Zany it means: crazy, imaginative, foolish, clownish, silly etc, which, by some weird coincidence, describes me. So here it is, one word that describes me completely.

And when it came to a tag line…well I didn’t want it to be like any other. It HAD to describe the way I talk or think. So after a series of thoughts and hard work I decided to give the tag line: ‘where unreality meets utterance’.

So doesn’t my blog look cooler and more complete now! Oh how much I love myself!

A poet in the making

As you all know, yesterday was Pakistan Day (23rd March). our constitution was passed on this day in the year 1940. And isnt it obvious that we would be in the spirit of this day. Yes we were! Well one of my friends was REALLY in the spirit and therefore she wrote a poem! And here it goes.

(original copy of the poem written on a tissue paper)



Transliteration

Tamanna le kar aaye the,
Kuch ban kar yahaan se jayain ge.
Muraad hai shahadat ki,
Jis ko haasil karke jayain ge.
Taan kar seena chalain ge,
Hub-e-watan Pakistan bana kar rahain ge.





Why is it so hard?

Yesterday while I was cleaning the dishes, i went over the different variations and sounds of my name by different people. Well let me tell you first taht my actual name is: Hunyum Murya (Hun-Yum Mur-Ya)...allrite. And here a the variations (as pronounced) when:

A] They read my name from paper:

  • Hoonyoum
  • Onyum
  • Hunyumyumyum (some weird ass guy who thinks he is too good said that)
  • Haniyam
  • Huniyom

B] when they ask me/or hear it:

  • Muriam (where did the M come from..and where did the H go?)
  • Onion (DONT ASK!)
  • Haniya
  • Humyum

well there are more...just dont want to tell!

Ok so that was not the reason for the blog. The reason is about to come up. And the reason is GET THE SIMPLE LOGIC OF PRONOUNCING MY NAME PROPERLY WHEN YOU READ IT ATLEAST!

You dont read it as hoonch...you read it as hunch. Then why does my name become hoon...when it can so easily be hun...and for the second part you dont go yoom....you go yum....so why not for my name you JUST say yum. And when they join together they become Hunyum.

Hearing is acceptable...its hard to catch in the first time...but PLEASE...read it properly!


Something seems amiss


I have been getting the strangest feeling for the past few days or probably weeks. I dont know why is it so, or what got into me. But i know one thing for sure, something is amiss and it's affecting me a lot! I have started to see the glass half empty. I did before too, but only sometimes. But now its a regular thing. Everyone person I look at just seems different. I cant talk to anyone properly. Even if I do, then once I'm done I feel as if the person is thinking something bad about me. *Maybe they don't like me* or *Did I say something wrong?* or *Why are they giving me weird expressions (even though they are not)*. Do you know what I mean? And above that I presume that every face around me has changed, is deceiving me, is hiding something from me. Plus I feel afraid at times of nothing at all. Nothing, I know! I try to search for the answer as I lie on my bed. What am I afraid of? What is it? A power so strong? Or something I did that should not have been done? But nothing comes to my mind. I dont see the need to be afraid of anything at all. But still I am. My heart thumps hard, so hard that I feel as if it is still thumping even when it die's down. At night, in the drakness of my room, when nothing is around me it seems as if something is there. Tickling me, disturbing me, not letting me sleep. I dont know what to do! Will someone please take me out of this? Will someone help me? Someone, anyone? Just HELP!


Allrite...i swear i dont knwo what i have just written... i felt like writing it...it has no meaning...just a random thought in my mind of a poor lonely person...who probably feels rejected by the world...but the family...feels rejected by him/herself...

A Thousand Splendid Suns

'A Thousand Splendid Suns'. One of the best books ever written. This guy 'Khaled Hosseini' has got a gift, a talent to tell stories like these and pull the heart strings at every single word. The style is so simple, so straight forward yet there is something about the words that slip down to your heart with ease. The horrors of the life of Mariam and Laila were not magnified at any point but still the pain, grievances, sadness was felt. There are times when you just want to reach out to Laila and Mariam and help them. The journey through which Laila and Mariam go through makes you feel like a part of them. The story slowly gains speed and emotional power. It is, overall, a story of haunting and heartbreaking times, untimely friendship, destroyed love and dreams. This one is not to be missed






I the assassin

As my feet placed themselves firmly on the ground, a weird feeling took birth inside me. what was it i didnt know, but i was sure that something bad and evil was on its way. And yes I was right. I enetered the room and there it was on the bed. I hated it. I couldnt resist the tempation. I took cloth and *squish*. All its blood splattered on my face. It was gone..dead..over...finished from the face of earth! What a relief!

Alrite ill get to the normal part. i was in my friends house, and it was a bed bug alright! i killed it, and since it wasnt in the cloth completly a few drops spattered on my face. Happy! Bye

When anger comes out!

I made this drawing when I failed my driving exam!



Its tyme to stalk


So my whole family went to Carrefour today (a shopping place kinda thing). Since my dad is travelling to Italy, he needed a new suitcase. Well by the time we reached that place it was time to pray and me mom and dad went to pray. So we had nothing to do...what did we do then? Guess! come on...we stalked.
My sis looked at this REALLY cute guy. Since we were just totally bored..we stalked that cute handsome guy around the shop. I guess he kind of realized that we were staling him. But who cares he was cute.
And then...everything shattered. i went to get chocolates with my sis and by the time we returned, he was gone! Oh how the destiny plays games with us. if he could have stayed onyl a bit longer. i wasnt gonna see him ever again. just a sad little, bogus, crazy life of mine.

so heres are list of things to keep in mid when stalking a cute guy:
1] make SURE you dont miss him. you might never see him again
2] make SURE he doesnt notice the fact that you are stalking him
3] if he notices that your stalking him then make him feel SPECIAL...dont show ur stalking him
4] one VERY VERY important thing... DONOT, i repeat DONOT try to take his pictures!
