Hotel California

Nawaz Sharif and his brother have announced their return date. Musharraf is defiant and says they will be prevented from returning to the state by a friendly ally. The public is confused, as it is, always! My concern is my personal statement that i have been trying to write since the day i was born. But it remains incomplete and inaccurate for various reasons. Why then would anyone want to read my personal statement? i have no idea. But i have to do it and i have to do it fast.

Personal statement

Writing personal statements is one of the most difficult tasks i have come across. It gives me a headache to talk about myself in a pretentious fashion.

I just don't want to do it anymore. It is so boring and monotonous that i simply don't want to do this exercise. But my hands are tied and i have no other option. I have to stick to the job and keep on doing it one way or the other. I have to drag on myself till the time i am ready to leave. You know you do not like your job when you don't go to sleep in the night knowing that if you do the day will arrive soon and you will have to depart to the work place. I therefore don't like my work at its present condition.
