MY STATE OF EXISTENCE

Life...That's just it. It's happening all around me and it fascinates me. Life can and does beat the shit out of me but surviving that is what life is about. And this blog is about me, someone who doesn't fit any stereotype or label. There are alot of labels I posess Pakistani, Muslim, Young, Gay, Student but I don't want to fit in some pre-conceived notion of those labels. I maintain my individuality and this blog is the affirmation of my uniqueness.

TAGEDY!

This is worse than a Greek tragedy:

Thousands die everyday, scores of people inflicted with pain and injury. Kids orphaned and no help! No help reaching the remote inaccessible distraught areas of Northern Pakistan. Tragedy has hit HOME!

I just hope everyone does whatever they can to help. In this age of globalisation it shouldn't matter whether a person is in Timbuktu (what a cliche`) or Islamabad--just HELP!

Wow! check out my new concerned empathetic persona, but this disaster has really shook me. Although I seem to be more concerned about the empty knawing feeling I have nowadays with the obsessive fixation on sex. There is also an extreme desire to ellicit people's sexual desire. tsk tsk

Oh well this proves that life goes on. Maybe a tragedy hits again and I die or my family dies, people wll be concerned, they will help but at the end of the day they will keep living their lives and fret about their personal worlds.

I hate how people transform in to these pseudo pious beings in Ramazan! I mean all throughout the year they're cursing, making fun of people, lying, cheating and fighting and just when Ramzan comes they become these saintly figures. The thing that bothers me is that even then its all superficial. They might become particular about their prayers and about not masturbating, but when it comes to changing their attitude towards a more humane outlook the effort is nil. Then just as soon as Ramzan ends Voila, back to the same stuff! I hate the hypocrisy, I stay the same and people start preaching me abut how I should change in Ramzan. My friends start lecturing me if I curse, if I don't pray or if I miss a fast but they never notice how I treated the begger kid when they all ignored him!
