I have fallen in love with this language. Punjabi is so much fun. I remember in school when there used to be just 3 Urdu-speaking students (including me) in the class, and rest 20-25 students were all Punjabi. I started picking up their funjaabi accent and some of the common mistakes that they'd make in the gender of things. They never spoke punjabi, so I could never learn that language. The only thing I learned was saying "Showcase" and "Chheyti ker kurriye" in punjabi accent :D (Try saying it, it's fun :P)

One day I forwarded a punjabi text msg to a punjabi freind, and he asked if I made it up myself? Obviously I didn't. But he wanted to hear a punjabi sentence from me. Now that was hard. I told him that I can understand a bit of Punjabi, but can't speak. Anyway, I tried refreshing my memory for any Punjabi sentence. And miraclously I did come up with one. At that very instance I called him up and told him. The sentence was:

"Saanu ki pata paijaan. Asi ta hurn he pind to aya oun, battiyaan waikharn" :D

[Oh God, it's so hard to write Punjabi :D]

And he got such an instense laughing fit at that time ke bus!!! :D The whole day he kept laughing. Evil him never taught me anything in Punjabi since then.

One of the main reasons for me liking this language is Punjaagi clips they (used to) show on TV. They are so dead funny, one can never resist their laughter :D

Here are a few Punjaagi clips that I love the most :)



And:




Rab Raakha! =)

PS: I'm interested in learning this language. So if any of you is an expert in this language, please contact me :)

PPS: The forwarded txt msg was:
"Nakhray twaday tauba tauba,
Ajeeb twada style ay,
Call ya msg te tussi kerna ee koi nae,
Aiwaien rola paya ay ke saaday kol mobile hay"

:D

My exam had to start at 12:30 pm and end at 2:30 pm. When I woke up and checked the time on my phone, it was 1:02 pm. I got kinda electrocuted. I reached for the lamp, switched it on. The table clock was also showing the unbelievable 1:02 pm. I got out of bed, checked out each and every clock that came in my way, reached the kitchen, took my Mac out of the refrigerator in a hope that my dear Mac would prove all other clocks wrong. It got a lil twisted staying in the refrigerator all night. I straightened it out. And then - as being struck by lightning - I checked my surroundings. It was dark. It was supposed to day. There was to be light everywhere.

And it was then that I woke up from this horrible nightmare. This was a dream within a dream ;) I felt so relaxed as I looked at the clock and it showed 10:14 am. Wanted to pinch myself just to make sure that I was really awake this time, but felt too relaxed to do that :D

I always - like ALWAYS - get such dreams before or during my exams. I had this season's dream today morning, so now no more nightmares will come :)

Cheerio folks =)

PS: Oh, please keep praying for my exams. Just 1 down, 5 more to go :(

Today Ritz and Sana came at my place to study Development Economics. From 12:30 pm to 7:30 pm we:

• messed up the room with our notes.
• had lunch.
• completed our assignment.
• txted our friends.
• gossiped looaaddssaaaaa.
• prayed.
• had french fried.
• took loadsa stupid pics.
• watched dance videos
• listened to dance numbers.
• tried Govinda dance steps. Hahaha...That was the best part. :D
• made video of that dance.
• and in the end, Ritz and I played "Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki" :D Lol.
  

Kahani Ghar Ghar ki was actually taking a photo in that KGGK pose. We kept our cellphones on the carpet - one on the other, set the camera on the table, set it's timer, quickly posed our hands around the cellphones, as perfectly as it is shown in the drama. :D I would've posted the picture, but the result wasn't that perfect :D

Sana is so good at performing Govinda dance steps. She taught them to Ritz. Ritz picked them up quite quickly. My poor friends tried to teach them to me too, but I'm ... hehe. You don't need to know the rest of the story :D

Cheerio folks =)

Apple has come up with yet another amazing product - the MacBook Wheel.

Steve Jobs claims that this new MacBook is very simple. Brian Gilman, the design engineer says: "Open the intuitive alphabet menu here. Scroll to the letter you need, and center click to select it. Then click again to capitalize and repeat the process again for each new letter. Couldn't be simpler!" Like we've got a lot of time to do that. Plus, what about those who type blindly? With this MacBook Wheel, they would need to look at the screen total time.

The funniest thing is when Gilman says, "Everything is just a few hundred clicks away".
In my view, it will be a flop!



It is somewhat similar to MacBoor Air, in terms of failure. But it will beat Air. Check out the prices :D

I'm very bad at controlling my laughter. Even if I cover my mouth, my eyes show it. And this is so dead dangerous especially when you're having a real serious lecture. I always get such fits at the worst possible time. It usually happens at the university. And I always get those killing stares from the teachers and my nerdy classmates.

I miss Jaj. I miss the time when Jaj, Ritz and I would sit together and make fun of our teachers' dressing, their accent, their teaching style, etc. We would also laugh at the funny text messages and forward them at the same time. Plus, we had (and still have) some silly classmates at whom we'd laugh. [Astaghfirullah]. The thing is, whenever we'd get a giggling fit, Jaj would be the first one to control her laughter and sit with a plain face, as if nothing had happened. Ritz would be next. And I would be the last one, and would usually end up just covering my mouth. Our proffy would notice just me and my 'smiling eyes', and poor me would get all the bashing.

This was almost 2 years ago. Things have changed since then. Jaj got married, and Ritz and I got busy in the ever-hectic university life. But thankfully our sense of humor is still the same :) Jaj and I would laugh at just anything. Seriously. Ritz had a different sense of humor. But when Jaj got married and left university, Ritz and I adjusted, and got used to each other's crooked jokes. :D Jaj would be joining again from the next semester, and I'm so waiting for that time.

Cheerio folks =)

PS: Today was the last day (before final exams) of my 7th semester. I feel so gloomy. What will happen on the last day of my final semester? :'(

...so happy, apparently for no good reason :) Probably because we're "barbie queue-ing" chicken today :P and I so love the 'lawaazmaat' with it - garlic dip, chutneys, raitay, coleslaw, ketchup, lemon juice (I love it), and parathayyyyyy!!!! Those who know me also know that I'm a big paratha fan :)

See, now you all (and me too) know the reason of my happiness :) So, let's go and barbie queue :P

Cheerio folks =)

PS: I'm missing my shweet friend WOW (doesn't mean Williams Of Wales :P)

I love wearing high-heels. And on shaadis they look even more awesome. Since the shaadi season has ended lately, there were 3-4 pairs of sandals in my car. All mine. The thing is, I cannot drive with my sandals on. So, whenever we'd had to go to any wedding, I'd always wear my slippers, keep the sandals on the side and then drive. And when we'd reach the venue, I'd take the slippers off and wear my awesome-ish sandals again :D

Just yesterday when we returned from a cousin's valima, my Momma ordered me to take out all the sandals from the car. It feels really 'ajeeb sa' to hold your sandals in hands and walk. People usually think you're barefoot :(

PS: Puhleez pray for my exams. I don't feel like studying these days. This MacBook and evdo keeps me busy all the time.

2008 has ended and what an awesome year it was. Really enjoyed it. And I look forward to another great year - a year when I'd finally graduate :D

But as the years go by, I'm getting old. And I have to force myself to grow up, to grow mature. Haye, so hard it is to change your childish behavior :(
