Business was pretty cold on Saturday night, dunno why, we didn't have the usual queue of people waiting for subs, just spurts of customers every now and then. Towards the end of the night, a couple of lads came in and ordered sandwiches. I was making the second guy's sandwich and as per routine, I asked him, "D'you want cheese on that, mate ( Read more... )

It feels so good and weird to be back home in Dubai ( Read more... )

Abeer and I went to watch The Breed at the Cinestar cinemas in the Mall of the Emirates today. It was her last day of university and it's just another weekend for me, so we went ( Read more... )

Been a busy man this weekend!

On Thursday evening, tas99, Abeer and I went to International City [it's a residential area] to Masooma's place. Arjun and Akshay and Farren [sp?] came too. We didn't do much at first, just played cards, bugged Tasneem etc. Then we went up to the roof of the building where they have a swimming pool. No, we didn' swim, I ( Read more... )

Yesterday, Abeer's mom treated us out for lunch because it was my cousin Mariam's [her daughter's] birthday. We went to the McDonald's nearby.. you know, I didn't realize that some really hot people drop in to that place often ( Read more... )

On Wednesday, I moved from my aunt's place in Sadeqabad to another aunt's place in Itwari. Soon after that, I met up with Abeer, Mariam, Insia and their father. Through the rain [in a place like Itwari where puddles have a union meeting], I ran up and down a lane trying to find the driver to drive us back to Shantinagar and then to ask Abeer's dad ( Read more... )

I wrote my Mechanics 1 and 2 papers yesterday. Mechanics 1 was good, really easy and all that. Mechanics 2.. uh, not all that good. For one thing, I caught a cold while solving the Mechanics 2 paper. Yeah! I had just finished the fourth question [out of a total of eight] and I felt my nose running. From there, it was just an uphill battle against ( Read more... )

We watched Rang De Basanti at Ibn Battuta Mall's Grand Metroplex today. Aamir Khan's movies are always so good..

This one was about these four college "dudes" [that is such a hetero word!] who are persuaded into acting in a documentary film about the freedom fighters of pre-1947 India. They slowly realize that the situation in modern-day India is ( Read more... )

I was dead tired after I came back home from school today. Yet, I didn't take a nap, a decision which I now regret deeply.

Though, I watched an Italian movie about the Holocaust. It's called La Vita é Bella or 'Life is Beautiful' in English. I'm sure a lot of people have watched this one.. and I had watched it once too. But this time, I understood ( Read more... )

I watched an Israeli movie today! It's the second one I've watched.. it's called La-lekhet 'al ha-Mayim, [to] Walk on Water in English. The story was oh-kay.. but not very thrilling. What was more interesting about the movie was that it was gay-themed, set in Israel [mainly Tel Aviv and Jerusalem] and it had such a hot actor in the lead.
