Khala Jaan.

She is the aunt of my mom and holds the senior most position in my "nanihaal".

Just remembered an event which occoured about 6 months back. It was my cousin's marriage and i had the camera. Khala Jaan was was at a table with some other members of the family.

Passing by, i focused her and was about to take her photo when

khala Jaan: "Bilal, meri yeh koi umar hai tasweer banwaanay ki?"

me: "wo khala jaan aap kay kaalay balon kay sath jo thoray say safiad baal hain na un ki tasweer lay raha hoon"

Now since she is in her 70s, there is not a single black hair on her head and i think that even if a black hair is implanted it will turn white in one day :p

khala Jaan: "acha? kitnay safaid baal hain meray sar par??"
me: {thinking....} "N" !

cousins: {a very loud} "mmahahahahhha...."
khala Jaan: {confused look}

I Took her photo immediatly and got away before somebody explained to her the N and got me into a possible court marshal :)

Relationship Graph

I usually fall into discussions with Ali which are very odd in nature; it was one such conversation in which Ali introduced me to an interesting theory. It’s called the relationship graph.

The relationship graph between any two ppl has two variables namely your actions and his (her) actions. It’s a very volatile graph he said, just like the usual stock exchange graph. Please bear in mind he emphasized, it just can’t be a smooth path for long. Hiccups will come along the way and this is not related to a specific type of relationship. This goes for every type.

Don’t think that you can keep a close loop with everyone there will be glitches, there will be misunderstandings, there will be friction but don’t take this over your head just be the way you are try your best and you will see things coming back to the place where you want them to see. Yes, there may be times when this won’t happen but it wouldn’t have lost its momentum from your side.

The graph should move on in the positive direction either from your axis or form the other side. It’s a straight line graph. A boost may be witnessed when both the concerned parties give it out their best. It’s then when it speeds its way to touch the sky.

I was convinced by this theory, what about you???

An instructor.

Today was my first class as an instructor and i wasnt very comfortable before making the entry. But by the grace of Allah the first 3 hour session went out to be a success. I felt very happy that i was able to conduct it without much issues.

The class of first semester students in the ungrad program so they are a little unfimiliar with the system as yet. Its a good mixture of every type of students and it wasnt very different from FAST. Same way of responding, same manner of answer and the same level of confusion :)

I hope to be more comfortable with the class as the time passes and ofcourse i do want the class to be comfortable with me as well. Lets c how things proceed.....

What I got for free @ home
