Inside my Crazy head..

Daily Prompt: Elevator

Fiction writers: You’re stuck in an elevator with an intriguing stranger. Write this scene.

Non-fiction writers: You’re stuck in an elevator with a person from your past.

After an amazing shopping trip at a new shopping mall, With my hands full of merchandise, I almost ran to the elevator before the door closes, as I knew the mall was 142 storeys and I will take me a long time to get another go at the elevator. As I entered the glass pane capsule elevator, I saw a tall person in a trench coat and an old fedora hat. He was looking out the glass elevator so I could see only half of his face, his features were rough and it made me think he might be a spy who is investigating a murder case around here, but my mind rejected the wonderful fantasy of meeting a world-famous spy with the immediate thought that there haven’t been any murder cases around here recently. Well, then I thought he might be an undercover, mastermind bandit planning to take over this mall. Oh my God! What if he tried to  take me ransom to perform his loot. Oh no! What if he is holding a gun in his right hand which he has suspiciously kept in his pocket all the time. With these scary thoughts the elevator suddenly stopped! ? What? I thought.. We’re at ground floor already?? But no, the elevator had stopped at 13 floor, and with my superstitious mind, Nothing could be worse than 13 floor. The doors opened and a man entered and he embraced the intriguing stranger warm heartedly and said, “Hey Jerry! What are you doing here.?” Long time old man!

And finally that person spoke “I am a lift man here, just got this job two days ago”

At least the glass is not full empty! :D

Daily Prompt: The Glass

Is the glass half-full, or half-empty?

The fight over this Half full/empty glass goes a long way.. According to me, the glass is; as you see it is, according to the environment and your future predictions about yourself. If you can see the glass half full, that probably means that you can see good times ahead.. If you see the glass half empty that probably means that you’re actually doomed to misery. But the fact is that the glass is technically always full.. If half part contains liquid, The other half contains water and frankly you can Always fill the other half if you’re unsure about the Half full/empty part!

Parallel universe.

Daily Prompt: The Bizarro World

In the DC comics universe, a planet called “Htrae” (“Earth” spelled backwards) is populated with bizarre versions of superheroes. A Seinfeld episode made the idea of this Bizarro World popular, where the characters encountered their opposite selves.

Craft a scene in which you meet an opposite version of yourself — or a story in a bizarre, backwards world.

Just Ten days to go until examinations start.

Tring! Tring! Alarm rings On a Sunday morning at 7.30 am. I woke up, Changed my clothes and silently tip-toed out of my room (In order not to wake my sister up), went into the common and started studying. I studied until 9.00 and prepared breakfast before my mother wakes up and has to do it for me. After breakfast, I shut myself in my room to study again. Before 8.00 at night, syllabus for the subject has been completed. And that is me in a parallel universe!

Just Ten days to go until examinations start. 

Tring! Tring! Alarm rings On a Sunday morning at 7.30 am. Ughh! Alarm’s been snoozed for the thousandth time by you now Yumna!: My sister yells at me and I woke up at 9.30. I hardly studied for 20 minutes in my room officially disturbing my sister’s peace before sleeping off again. At 10.30 my sister wakes me up for breakfast and after breakfast it’s like 12.30. Then it’s facebook, wordpress and pottermore for 2-3 hours and then irresistible hunger. Oh God! Its 4.30 already! Yay! Tea time! After tea, it’s little bit of T.V  (all this time wanting to study, but not being able to, I don’t know how the time flies). After studying for a while, It’s 8.30.. T.V time and dinner. After dinner I’m too tired to study and here we go… Another day efficiently wasted before exams. And That’s me in my actual upside down life!

Confused caller..??

Daily Prompt: Unknown Caller

 You receive a call from an unexpected person. Who is it, and what is the conversation about? Go!

Well.. I don’t think anyone unexpected will call me.. Someone unexpected might just text me, for example one of my ex school fellows.. But she really wouldn’t bother to call. Still, If ever I received an unexpected call, it’ll be a prank call or a wrong number!

I like to blog it! blog it!

Daily Prompt: Million-Dollar Question

Why do you blog?

Because I am an extremely talkative person and I l love to share my thoughts and babbles with others.. So I blog!

List ‘em up!

Daily Prompt: The Satisfaction of a List

Who doesn’t love a list? So write one! Top five slices of pizza in your town, ten reasons disco will never die, the three secrets to happiness — go silly or go deep, just go list-y

 

I’d definitely like to make a list.. No, not on  the given topics but rather on the reasons as to why can’t I make a list on those topics:

1. Mathematics
2. Statistics
3. Physics

Yes.. The above given reasons aren’t allowing me to skip my homework and make a list instead!

What to Study?

Daily Prompt: Decisions, Decisions

How are you more likely to make an important decision — by reasoning through it, or by going with your gut?

Hmm.. As by now most of my readers must have realized that I’m a random person. I do things first and think about the results later.. But when it come to making important decisions, I do try to reason at least just once with my own self and my parents . For example I could have gone to NED University (Biggest university in our country for engineering, As I had chosen pre-engineering in my intermediate) but I chose Mathematics major in Karachi university.. Reason: I wasn’t interested in engineering, So I didn’t think it was necessary to do what majority was attempting to do.. I did think it through and I think it was a right decision, I’m happy with what I’m studying and I certainly do not feel uncomfortable in studying the subject!

Still Remembered!

Daily Prompt: The Transporter

Tell us about a sensation — a taste, a smell, a piece of music — that transports you back to childhood.

Everyone’s aware of the fairy tales… Cinderella, Little red riding hood, Jack and the beanstalk are all household words.. But no, they do not transport me back to my childhood. Stories which transport me back to my childhood are the one’s which might not be familiar to any of you but were, and still are, very important to me. They take me back into the time when my Maternal Grandmother was still among us, to the time when I was properly aware of the relation of a Grandmother.

Whenever we visited her, we asked to listen the same four stories and she always did tell us those! Those weren’t just stories but truly they were my childhood. Today after reading some well-known authors, I realize that no books or stories can replace those limited edition stories of my Grandmother..

SERIOUSLY! I MISS THAT TIME!

After my thoughts to wish for all these things, I really hope not to wake up soon from this wonderful dream of mine! =D

A locally awesome Sunday

Daily Prompt: Local Flavor

Write a piece about a typically “local” experience from where you come from as though it’s an entry in a travel guide.

I am a Pakistani and we are a food loving nation. Be it a happy occasion or a sad one, We EAT!

Few Sundays ago, Our family of five (ME, my parents, my siblings) went to Urdu bazaar (A market place for books and stationery etc) to purchase some books for university. Unfortunately the market was closed that day so we had to decide to go somewhere to have some evening snacks (It was included in our plan to have some snacks on our way back). So we went to Bahadurabad (A famous local place in Karachi, Pakistan) on a small food stall. The shop next to it was selling ‘Fish n Chips’ but we were determined to have a local snacks to we bought ‘Chaat’. Chaat basically consists of boiled chickpeas, garnished with onion (optional), yoghurt,  tamarind relish, some crushed spices and chopped dried red pepper!

Chana (chickpeas) Chaat

After having that we bought ‘gol gappay’. Another favourite food of Pakistani people. It consists of Puri (dough fired in ghee or oil in small round shapes) to be dipped in spicy, sour water.

And the perfect evening was topped by Blueberry cone ice-cream!
