The Buddy Therapy

I have had a lovely weekend after ages. Between trying to break free from my regular work routine and trying to build up a social / personal life, I was merely stressing my self out even more. As I entered my apartment around 11:45ish last night, I realized that all I required was a good buddy outing with some of my old friends with whom I haven't caught up in ages. Best thing being that a very good friend flew down from Australia for a visit since her sister's getting married. In addition to this, like I have already disclosed in my earlier blog entry that I will be starting my semester with Indus Valley in August InshAllah. All one really does require are people with similar mind sets and good compatibility to relieve you out from your stress and exhaustion. Today, Sunday was spent at home with family only which wasn't too bad either. Over all I have been in a good mood. Let's just hope it isn't ruined or shattered with anything related to work starting tomorrow.

Sometimes it feels good to break free from the corporate routine and just be goofy and plain crazy. It was good to freely exchange cheap X rated jokes without any gender issues, to act like a baby and annoy every one and beat the shit out of each.

In case ur wondering who the people in this pic are, well starting from extreme left front is: Aton Aka Ahsen, Puri Aka Omer, Marina, Your's truly ;), Ricky and Rabia (Marina's younger sis)

I am just plain happy and singing =)

I Made It!!

Wow!! The much awaited list of successful candidates was finally announced today and yours truly is amongst the lot who got selected for the PGD Photography program so yep I will be spending all of the remaining year and first half of the next year studying photography. I am so excited!! It's a little hard to believe that they might have liked my portfolio but OH hell I am so excited. At long last I will get spend some time surrounded by creativity and creative people with absolutely nothing to do with boring old banking - YAWWWN!

PS: I love you God, I seriously do. How can you be so nice to a complete nut head like me? *hugs* 

Romance or Damn!

Being an independent,single and 24 years old female I am amongst the 99% lot who dreams of a prince charming, a knight in shining armor, a rugged romeo or a tall- dark-handsome guy sweeping me off my feet someday. Yup I know this is pretty sappy stuff (especially to guys) but this is how we think. And there is nothing wrong in thinking like this anyways right? When I was in the process of entering my teens and I suddenly started feeling shy and kinda unsure towards the opposite sex I would always drift off thinking about some guy falling head over heels for me and running after me whenever I would be upset with him even though I would ask him to go away, but he would still keep running after me cos he would be too much in love with me to want to give me my space or go away... *sigh* - OK so this kinda sounds lame even to me as I write but that's the way the average female thinks like to which the average men conveniently say "it's not easy to understand a woman". Seriously, don't u men understand our need to be wanted and pampered? :P

Since I am in one of my UltimentOOooO practical moods tonight I think being romantic every second of the day can be a bit tiresome and kinda boring at times. Im not saying that a female expects the guy to be at his best every minute but yes a sweet gesture every once in a while is much appreciated. A good friend at work said that being romantic ultimately get's boring for the guy but trust me that's the way females take it too. I say, romance is definitely good to keep the excitement alive and exchanging presents every once in a while is cute (if the gift or any effort involved is done wholeheartedly rather mechanically or as a duty of course!)but too much of Sugar can be distasteful at times no? Maybe it's just a frame of mind I am in these days but on a serious note I would prefer snuggling with my guy on a couch wearing my most comfiest pajamas with my most loosest T shirt and watching a nice movie and enjoying a home made meal (or Mac Donald's Up-size meal with double cheese!)or even washing his car together! - Duh! Am I making any sense here at all? I guess I just need a break from work. Being around MI's, files, state bank regulations etc is having an effect on my already tired mind and ruining my chances to fool around at an age where i SHOULD be fooling around ;)

Oh romeo romeo... where art thou romeo??? (And I shall personally shoot the Romeo if he comes over with poorly plucked out rose and praises my ear length short black and red hair as waterfalls from some la la land) lol

Sunday, June 06th 2010

I have been working on my laptop and trying to come up with something worth while that I could post on my blog but so far I have been un able to do so. Surprisingly, I seem to be loosing interest in creative writing these days. Maybe cos I have taken up photography as a new hobby. It's weird how the idea struck in the month of May, leading to go visit Indus Valley School of Art & Architecture, purchasing the admission forms, submitting them and now finally waiting for my interview scheduled for the 14th of June 2010 on 10:20 am at IVS. The admission requirement is to submit a portfolio of around 12 to 15 photographs in a CD and much to my amazement I even ended up compiling some shots and am ready for the interview. Even the timings of the course are perfect as the classes start at 6 in the evening which is fine with my work timings. I am not too sure if I would be able to get it through the interview since I am sure people who are finer photographers with MUCH better camera's would applying for this PGD program as well which sucks since I really am bent on taking this course. It's for a year only and offers an internship by the end of the semester. Would be lovely working with professional photographers no? What's best is that I would be getting a break from this D-E-A-D sick daily routine of mine.

- AK dreaming to be world's best photographer someday.. somehow... zzZzZz
