Crow's Nest...

This will be my first posting from my home after having left AKU. Haven't really spent much time alone here since my friends were over at my place and we were having lots of fun. Time was flying away as ever and we were moving along with it. But now for the past three hours or so, since the last warrior left my home, it hasn't been moving much really...Infact it hasn't been moving at all...or else I don't want it to move. But then again sooner or later one has to move on...move to the next hurdle in the line. I hope to get busy with my life and study soon so that this intricate setup of neurons that I carry over my body doesn't get entangled into thoughts that are not really very bright.    Cant write anymore right now. There is rush of thoughts ready to road roll everything within my head like Katrina mauled the east coast. We are all so selfish...

This will be my last post from this institution. I have spent five long years here and all in all it has been lots of fun and lots of new experiences. I am taking good memories and bad memories. New memories and old memories. But all too many memories. I thought at all points in time that all that i do is correct and need of the hour but when one stands back and looks at all that he has done in retrospect more often than not lot of mistakes stare at your face like evil reminders. The good thing is i have found many new and very sincere and good friends. But the only bad thing right now is that i think i just might have lost ONE very good sincere and affectionate friend in the process very recently. Just realized that yesterday. It is a hard thing to earn someones trust to win it against all odds but it is another thing to loose it all. I can tell you it is not a very good feeling. But i am like that. I do all the necessary work and then let go of everything in the end just b...

As of today I have been awarded the fruit of five very (and when I say very I mean it) long years of hard work and struggle through various circumstances. I have been awarded the honour of treating and healing all pain in humanity physical and otherwise. I have been awarded the license to look into the most intricate details of human lives. And I have been given the respect that everyone wishes for in his/her life. I have been told that I have become a Doctor. So it is Abdul Moiz Khan no more BUT Dr. Abdul Moiz Khan. Alhamdolillah. So all my future patients out there who read this cyber communique you have least to worry about now. I have come to the rescue.

Ah last days of absolute freeedom! no matter how much you look forward to your future the freedom of student life is the best and can never be replaced. As of now i am enjoying the very last bits of it. It feels awkward but it feels great too. You know why? Coz i am looking forward too ;)

I have just taken my Medicine exam. It was a little tough and a little two long. Initially i thought it will take some doing to pass but when we did the post exam review the situation became clearer. So now its two more to go before i am done with my programme.

So i have been told. Five years ago i was making final arrangements to move to my University for starting my M.B.,B.S degree programme. One year ago i was just having the best time of mu life while rotating through surgery and also enjoying the best weather that Karachi had to offer and many more things that i don't want to talk about here. I almost know know no song by heart. but that doesn't at all mena that i don't like music. If i get 100 Million dollars i will buy few but very very sexy cars and buy some deserted lone island. Go see the world. Waste the rest. The only place that i want to run away to is my home. Five things i will never wear are pretty obvious... Five favourite Tv shows are Friends, That 70's Show, Alif Noon, Andhera ujala..... I have no great joys . I have few favourite toys and rest assure they are some kind of weird car forms. It is difficult for me to Tag people so yea.

Here i am posting from AKULRC for the very first time through free inline internet access. This has been made availiable to the students of our university as part of a pilot project. The excitement of being able to use the internet services free of cost is overwhelming for someone like me who has been out of internet hour credit for the past one week! The only pun in the story is that i will e able to use this facility only for next week, since i graduate, InshaAllah in a week's time from here.

Sonia has revceived another shock out of nowhere. After taking a stand with her life for her husband it is now time that her that very husband is putting last nail into her coffin. Todays The News carries the story of her husband who wants a divorce from his wife. The reason he says is that he can not afford to live with a woman who is getting undue press coverage!!! I mean what the hell is wrong with this dude? He sent in his divorce. Sonia received a message Monday from her absconding husband that he was divorcing her as he "could not live with a woman about whom print media has been publishing stories for the last two weeks". This man is not worthy of being called a man. Asim claimed he was under pressure from his parents and was forced to divorce her to thwart harmful affects of her episode on his married and unmarried sisters. Sonia said the most painful thing for her was that Asim did not even wait for the outcome of the case she was pursuing to get justice. "...

Its time to leave

Pakistanis do have talent. Yesterday we were at the PACC for a stand up comedy show organized by the rotaract club of Karachi. The comedy troupe known as blackfish were there to entertain an audience of around 200 people including few of us mortal souls. The talented group kept us rolling over into laughter and giggles with their hour long improptu performance. There is an interesting read about the troupe's performance over the year on Karachi metroblog .

At this point in time all I can tell you is that its not easy at all to organize your data into bits of 700 MB so that you can easily write it on CDs. Everything on my drive is so disorganized that I can't find head from tail.

As devastating as it was Katrina has left thousands stranded in its affected areas. New Orleans is deep under water and most of the pumping stations have failed to keep abreast with rising waters in the area. I see pictures of chaos in the state. I have two concerns. The first being that there is a large Pakistani physician community in New Orleans and most of them have not been able to contact their relatives thus far. Mainly because all the telephone links are down. This is a cause of grave concern to me and I believe to the families of these individuals. May Allah keep them safe, wherever they are. My second concern is more of a cynical nature. I look at all those pictures of mayhem going on in the state and can't help laugh at the situation. Not that I am a sadist who derives pleasure from pain but because I see the most civilized nation on this planet behaving like idiots on a run. I hear the reports of shots being fired and aid work being hampered by hooligans and...

So today they finally asked us to move out from this hell. I wrote I am glad to be leaving this hell hole for good InshaAllah. We have been asked to leave this hostel by September 23, 2005 or we will be thrown out of it. thats what they do with everyone here when the time comes. I am sure everyone much like me is glad to be leaving this illusion and moving on to real life. What a place it has been. I have seen much drama of life unfold in these four walls of our abode during these five years. there was once this effort made at my hands to start keeping a record of our lives in this hostel when I started a joint blog called " Male Hostel: Unihindered madness.. " But it was then now I see no point in remembering all that is rotten to its very core. No wonder the above mentioned blog has turned into a pictorial blog of us guys and is serving this purpose well. I hope that it becomes a source of sharing knowledge amongst ourselves when increases physical distances decre...
