Give us a kiss, said the Spider to the Fly one Sunday Afternoon.
Why would you want to kiss me? The unknowing fly replies.
Because i want to feel your blood on my lips,
And let you know the taste of true love,
before you die.
Said the Spider,
to the Fly,
As he sank his teeth in.

Every womans a spy,
if you told a woman that her man was sleeping with Saddam Hussein,
at 8 in the morning.
By 8 pm, she would be standing outside Saddam Hussein's house,
telling him "dont you come 'round MY house no more,
you better act straight before you get slapped straight - bitch".
Every woman is a spy.

hehehehehehhehe
Inspired from the movie - Bad Company (FunnyyYYYYyyyy movie)

Kinda corny near the end, but i like the first hald - especially the part about the handicapped child. For my international readers Allah = God ;)


I asked Allah to take away my habit.
Allah said, No.
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.
I asked Allah to make my handicapped child whole.
Allah said, No.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary
I asked Allah to grant me patience.
Allah said, No.
Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;
it isn't granted, it is learned.
I asked Allah to give me happiness.
Allah said, No.
I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.
I asked Allah to spare me pain.
Allah said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares
and brings you closer to me.
I asked Allah to make my spirit grow.
Allah said, No.
You must grow on your own! ,
but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
I asked Allah for all things that I might enjoy life.
Allah said, No.
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.
I ask Allah to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
Allah said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.

For the first time in my life, i have just printed my name under "Director and Editor" - on my first full length film. For the first time in my life, i put together a project from scratch - no one on my tail to get things done. For the first time in my life, i found something i could do REALLY REALLY well. I can do a lot of things good. I dont think iv ever been REALLY good at something, exceptionally good. I think iv just found out what i wanna do with the rest of my life.

"GDP 6.4% ?" - a 45 min documentary on poverty in Karachi. But thats not the point. The point is not poverty in Karachi. The point is the fact that we see this poverty every day of our lives - and have become immune to it. We see it... but we do not See it. It does not register to us anymore. Just because we no longer see it, does not mean its not there.
See it - start looking - its all around you.

Today was the first showing of the documentary. 200 people. Afterwards, people came to me with tears in their eyes. People came to me just to shake my hand. 200 people in a hall not one getting bored. My teacher, a man I respect and whose opinion mattered immensely to me, was speachless. I got an offer to show it on WorldCall's cable network. I got a job offer from ARY. I think iv finally figured it out... I think I know.

Today, for the first time in my life, I felt I could do something.

I am SO stoked right now.
