To all the amazing people in the world

Hello,
Yesterday, A friend of mine and I met after a year or so. We were talking about all the people from the past and we randomly decided to call up one of them. Even though we are 23 something years of age, our brains are stuck in the 20th century. The friend we called did not have my number saved. So we thought we’d mess around before identifying ourselves.
I will use “Panda” instead of his name for the rest of the article

Hello is this panda speaking
Yes
I got your number from somewhere. I need a job.
What have you done?
What  
What have you studied
Engineering from Punjaab university
What subject
It. please can you give me a job
What is your GPA.

At this point I thought. Why is this idiot interviewing me? It’s not like he can give me a job or something being a recent graduate himself. So I asked
Panda you dash dash this is me farrae. Why are you asking questions as if you will actually do something or give an unknown caller a job?
And this is what he says

“I couldn’t have possibly given someone a job. But I was thinking if I could refer his CV to someone maybe, I might be able to help him. Lots of people are looking for jobs these days and I thought I should help”

I later asked myself what I or anyone else would have done if a random caller asked the questions. Hang up? Most probably.
There are bad people and good people and then there are these insane people with unlimited goodness in them for anyone and everyone.

I think it is these kinds of people that keep the world spinning. We owe it all to you. Thank you.

Embarrassing Moment: 239

There is absolutely no reason why I should be posting this. While the world publishes research papers and what not, I am here writing about yet another embarrassing moment.

Last weekend I was travelling from Islamabad to Khewra. It was a Sunday. I left Islamabad at around 10 30 pm. Driving by self I prefer to wear comfortable night suits. But since I was with friends before leaving, I didn’t get the chance to change.

On the way, I stopped at a rest area named Kalar Kahar. It was late at night and there were only a dozen or so cars. I parked my car at a side. It was dark and seeing that there isn’t a single person in sight for 50 or so yards in either direction, I decided to change my clothes in the car. I got in the passenger seat and began. While taking of my pants they got stuck near my feet. This was when I saw a windshield cleaner approaching. A bucket and viper in hand.

He hadn’t seen me yet. While I scrambled to take off my jeans quickly and start putting on my shorts he reached, put down his bucket and raised the vipers. That is when he noticed what was going on inside the car. He stood still for a few seconds. I gave him a thumbs up, signaling him to continue.
The puzzled look on his face was priceless  :D


He eventually cleaned the windshield and went away. I drove off. Funny incident that was. 

I promise I will write about something useful or meaningful soon too IA. Sorry for this.
