Devastated!
It hurts you so much when a person who is so much important to you and not only that, expects so much from you and then you know that you are the one who is responsible for hurting and making that person cry. That was the case with me yesterday, call it fortunate or unfortunate that I cannot detail anything here. But this I know from the bottom of my heart that those few seconds when I picked up the call and listened were among the worst of my life! :[

Village tour
That problem was again solved by Uncle Amman who offered for his car once again. So the plan was made and we were going :]
In the morning we got to know that tamur still had to go to school so we always started late. Papa went with phupo who in the morning offered her car to us which we cleverly accepted. We reached our village as late as 1230pm in the day and right away started playing Cricket. Playing right between everyone and the cooks was something that was not new to us. The lunch was so tasty and after such a long time we had something good to eat in the village. Here still many guests came to meet papa and mama.
After the lunch all we eight cousins went to the school ground of the village and played two matches which was such a worthwhile experience and after such a long time we played these team matches. More than enjoying the play, we enjoyed the fun amongst each other.
We came back in a hurry as it was getting dark. Saying good bye to everyone we came back home skipping two invitations for a lunch and dinner and eating french fries with my four angels. Without any doubt these five days were among the best of my life!

cousins..
WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY/FRIDAY 15-16-17th DECEMBER 2010.
Later in the evening our cousins from Lahore had also come and the house was a complete family today. All the remaining members from the family had also come and we really enjoyed alot. Imagine 38 people in one house at a time! We talked and talked alot till midnight and then slept so late as well.
The next day we all cousins played cricket in the morning and it was also a refresh of memories. We played for like 3 hours non stop but then had to finish as guests were coming one after the other. Papa and Mama were invited for lunch today at Phupo Affi's house so we all went there. A couple of new guests were waiting for us namely Mamu Khalid and Idrees bhai with whom we had never met but had heard of them alot.
After the lunch, Me, Ali bhai, Hamza, Tamur, Talha went out to drop and pick our cousin and in the mean time enjoyed alot. Firstly we looked for a deck for Ali bhai's car, then we had Ice cream. yes Ice cream in december ;]. Then after picking our cousin we had Golgappas :P . We three brothers came back home and I slept for an hour or so and when I woke up we had our cousins along with idrees bhai and we woke up till late night, chatted and laughed alot while eating pop corns after mid night.
The next morning we again played Cricket and it was an even tougher battle this time with more cousins joining in. Today mama and papa had a lunch form our other phupos and believe you me it was as tasty as you can get. All of our cousins left in the evening for village persuading us to come as well, the only problem standing was that our car was still out of order.

Lasalle Memories!
WEDNESDAY 15th DECEMBER 2010.
There was a lot of rush of people to take their luggage from the PIA office and we had to wait for two hours to get papa's. It was more than our expectations as we just had one car and a friend of papa had asked him to take his luggage along home. Somehow we managed to fit in the car and came back home safely.
The breakfast was mammoth! I really enjoyed eating everything (As always ;] ).
Shahrukh did not go to school and Tamur had to fill the form and take a short leave so Along with Hamza, we four went to Lasalle so that Tamur could fill the form and we in the mean time submitted Shahrukh's application to his school. Tamur still had some time left so we started wandering in the school and met almost all of my school life's teachers who have taught me so much over these years the only disappointment was Sir Ghulam Sarwar who totally refused to recognize me eventhough I was his favorite student during the two years of class teaching. W took two of my four angels with us and came back home. The lunch was even festive and enjoyed it alot with my cousins once again.

Papa and Mama return =]
TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY 14-15th DECEMBER 2010.
We reached home safely thanks Almighty after waiting at the terminal for almost an hour and a half as it was still early morning and there was time remaining for the sun to rise. It was cold but not like Islamabad so the ride on the Rickshaw was uncomfortable. Just as we reached home Manal and Tamur were about to leave for the school.
I was not feeling any hunger but the tasty Omelet was irresistible so after the breakfast I slept for two hours, later on I talked with mama and She told that they were about to leave for the Airport in Jeddah. We had come to Multan for the sole purpose of receiving mama and papa but unfortunately our car was out of order and there was no time to get whatever problem it was having fixed. We asked our cousins for the car but they simply refused making excuses and saying that they are going to receive our parents and any two of us can also come.
We were really annoyed with this and tried to get a car from somewhere. Although we had arranged for the car with our other cousins but we all wanted to go receive mama and papa all alone. Thanks to our neighbors who not only gave us there car but also offered us a driver to take with them but we refused as It would have been too early to wake anyone up so early in the morning.
I didn't sleep all night waiting for two calls. 1) from another city and 2) from another country. both did not come. We reached the PIA office at around 5:30 in the morning and mama papa arrived at 6am. We were so emotional and happy to see them back. both were looking so week and tired. Mama was taken home by uncle Aman and Hamza, Me, Shahrukh stayed with papa to pick up the luggage. There were loads of people from the family to receive mama and papa and more were to come in the next days. There were a total of 95 people.
One thing was for sure that we had missed mama and papa so so much in these 40 days. I was feeling so happy and relax now as being an elder I had this added responsibility of managing everything behind them. I felt like every tension has been swept away from my mind!

Scare and Near Escape!

This time reaching home was not at all an easy task. The month of Muharram had started and people were rushing to their homes. I had to leave for Multan on Friday but unfortunately my presentation was delayed till Monday so I had to wait extra couple of days. We had booked the seats for Multan on Saturday so we (Me and Hamza) were relax on that part. Seeing that both of us were going back home My other two flat mates also decided to go home today.

We reached the bus terminal at 9pm and as usual went to the advance ticketing both to purchase the ticket when I heard this shocking news that there was no record of the seats that we had booked. I tried again by asking them to check my phone number in the record but that was also not to be found. Thankfully the in charge of the terminal gave us two advance tickets for 9:30pm and we were able to leave for Multan without further scares as I already was having a really bad day after the presentation.
It was different experience this time around, going home to receive mama and papa who were returning from Hajj, this prospect was exciting although we were going home for just 4-5 days and I had my final presentation to prepare.

Back and Broken!
So I'm back in Hell after enjoying good few days at home and as always It is really refreshing. But this time around things will be tough for me as I have a bundle of presentations to go through and most importantly the Final Presentation. I'm so down right now and I also have no source of inspiration to buck me up. I hope that spark of lightening is around the corner for me.
My final exams are also approaching but I know I won't be able to study until atleast my final presentation that is due on the 24th, everything will be so happy and bright after the day of 24th passes by! :]
