ILOVETHISSHOW

Maybe, just maybe.

Is it wrong to not hate Satan?
Do we HAVE to hate?
Can't we just be accepting?
Maybe Satan was a fat girl with major self esteem issues in middle school?
Maybe Satan was the skinny boy who got picked on by the bullies?
Maybe Satan had a stutter
Maybe.. maybe Satan lost someone and never learnt how to deal with it in a healthy way?
Maybe Satan was a writer, or actor, or director who never got a break
Maybe Satan was the baby in the trash can
Maybe Satan was the geek everyone hated
Maybe just maybe he wanted to have friends, friends who liked him...
Do we HAVE to hate?
Why not give him acceptance, love and kindness?

Does it make you understand Satan a wee bit? Does it not make you understand people a wee bit? 

11 Things you face if you're a female film student in Pakistan

1. You NEVER have enough money to make your perfect film
2. If you are a girl, your priorities mean that you must master how to make a chappati first and then maybe how to work that light metre
3. You friends (who are also film-makers) will try and pull a Terrance Mallick.  Yup it's a thing [There's always that guy in class coming up with surrealistic shit]
4. People never expect you to write dark shit about..well...dark shit
5. Your male teachers will always be cynical to your ideas/appearance/existence/everything
6. You have restrictions and if you don't then you never have the right equipment
7. People try to motivate you by saying "Just start small. Do anything. Look at me, i started from nothing and look where i am" a little FYI. Starting from a 5D Mark III is not small. So eff off.
8. If you are the best writer in your class, you can expect your friends to ask you to write even their names on the answer sheet. It's a thing. People just unload stuff on you. It's annoying.
9. If people see you lift heavy equipment, like 250 W lights/Light stands/Set planks/Anything they will pass remarks like you're strong for a girl, what do you eat yaar, ammi nay aj parathay banaye thay? Are you seeing someone?. The last one is always thrown off no matter what the situation
10. You're always asked to act as everyone in your friends' films. Mother, Daughter, Heroine, Vamp, Teacher, Doctor, Psycho. And oh, people expect you to be a great actor. They just do. They don't care about you being camera-shy.
11. Last but not the least because you cry together..laugh together. You make friends. You make enemies. You make frenemies. You make best frenemies. It happens. It's a thing.

P.S If it sounds sexist or if you don't agree with me. Just know..that i dont give a shit. :)

Cheers,

The 9-5 Life

That moment when life happens. [Sorry, i just like saying writing random shiz]
Every time that I come to blog here is never how i really imagine it to be when im not blogging.

Life is not what it used to be. Every person who probably works 9-5 may relate to the following:

1) You dont have a life

2) You have forgotten what your friends look like

3) Your 9-5 job is never really a 9-5 job

4) Your family thinks you don't really work

5) [If you're a girl] Things you get to hear when you reach home after a killer day at work

"Chalo you've had all your enjoyment for the day, ab ghar kay bhee kuch kaam karlo"

6) By the time you get home, and reply to friends who have been texting you all day, you send a mass text to everyone saying, "yeah sure, lets go to this [insert name of a place recently opened up] soon, miss you, blah blah" which never happens

7) The Jane Fonda fitness routine you always wanted to follow through... never happens

8) All the books you bought at Sunday Bazaar, lie on a shelf with a thick coat of dust over 'em

9) All the movies you downloaded remain unwatched until you find an hour to just watch ANYTHING, SOMETHING? The Movie Marathon you wished you had with your only bfff who lives super close, never ends up happening :(

10) You miss being a kid :'(

11) You wish you were paid more

12) You wish you could clone yourself to be at two places at once

12) You wish for a better phone, an even better laptop and/or an even better tablet or just better poop!

13) You just keep wishing.

Hittin' it down & low

You know you have the lowest of the low, when you're remaking the same bucket list ,that you made in 2007.

I need to visit the Sunday Market soon. I do. Life poopz. I went to a local Gym recently. It was one of those promises..."Lose weight in 2010" that I had made to myself, I guess it was about time to work on that.

How would I rate the Gym? Well it's made really nicely. The trainers there seem to be pretty okay-ish (ahem) too. I'll give it a 6.5

I don't know if it's a childish thing if I still blog, but I do.

Work is fun, I like it. I've taken an oath to never teach again. Although I was getting extremely lucrative offers. But it felt like, it was time that I stopped coming home exhausted, tired, unhappy and pissed.

The view from the office is nice. I wish I could share. I have so much to share...which I will, in the next post.

Till then, tc :)

Hello fellow bloggers,

Some of you might be thinking that i might have stopped posting/blogging. 'Tis not so. You see, i changed my URL a long time ago because of this ugly typo i made. *shudders*.

Imma change my URL to http://cumbersome-me.blogspot.com/ and that way you can unfollow me and then follow me. 

Much Love,

Al
