powerless

seems like everything is changing... it's getting tougher than ever before... life's slipping out of hands... making me feel less urged and concerned about taking control of any or everything...

the connectedness is killing me... making me reballious... but i wanna keep hold of myself... afterall i will go through all this... the difficult path... everything around seems conspiring against me, my will...

now listening to Powerless by josh + nelly furtado ... and it sounds so true... i feel so powerless:

Powerless (Say What You Want)

Paint my face in your magazines
Make it look whiter than it seems
Paint me over with your dreams
Shove away my ethnicity
Burn every notion that I may have a flame inside to fight
And say just what is on my mind
Without offending your might

Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do
So say what you want
Say what you want

I saw her face outside today
Weatherworn, looking all the rage
They took her passion and her gaze and made a poster
Now it¡¦s moccasins we sport
We take the culture and contort
Perhaps only to distort what we are hiding

Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do
But say what you want
Say what you want

Hey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in, get in
Hey you, the one that don¡¦t fit in, how ya, how ya gonna get in
Hey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in with your
Broken teeth, broken jaw, broken mojo

Yeah, this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do

Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do

the new place

we've moved to the new place at work... it'll take a little while to get used to this new environment... it's of course a sudden change... i cant play music loudly... as i used to. morover the difference of tastes that is totally different from the left to right, makes it even difficult to play something with a sense of freedom. and of course.. we have to be a bit more concious and formal as oppose to our very informal style we had back there at our previous place but i think i'll still manage to live... as long as i can listen to music (be it slow)... all else can be ignored. now playing: Your Body is a Wonderland by John Mayer

Kuch bhi to naheeN...

many thanks to ejaz, who've converted it for me in Urdu text... such a nice guy :) کچھ بھی تو نہیں کیا میرا ہے۔۔۔ کچھ بھی تو نہیں یہ نیلا امبر، زرد زمین کچھ بھی تو نہیں یہ اڑتے پنچھی اور ہوایں اور دریاوں کا شور کہیں کچھ بھی تو نہیں یہ چاند ستارے اور موسم یہ رنگ برنگے پھول حسین کچھ بھی تو نہیں جو اپنا تھا وہ روٹھ گیا اک سپنا تھا جو ٹوٹ گیا جو میرا تھا ہر موسم میں پت جھڑ میں بھی اور ساون میں یہ موسم، پت جھڑ اور ساون کیا میرا ہے؟ کچھ بھی تو نہیں۔۔۔

Read this news, sent by colleague... Groom lets his friends rape bride as revenge Web posted at: 5/31/2005 2:20:30 Source ::: Internews LAHORE: In an act of revenge, a woman was gang-raped with the consent of her in-laws by three people on her wedding night in Dera Ghazi Khan town in central Pakistan, police said. Ghulam Hussain, the father of the victim Kaneez Kubra, said his daughter was married to Mujahid Hussain on April 28, as ordered by a panchayat (local jury) under the wani custom since her brother Abdul Majid had sexual relations with Mujahid’s sister Sumera. After the wedding, Kaneez went to the groom’s home. Her husband stayed with her in their room till 11 pm and then left. Afterwards, Mujahid’s grandfather Shahroo Khan and his mother Mukhtar came in and told the bride that the wedding was just an excuse to exact revenge on Majid for outraging Sumera’s modesty. Mujahid then invited his three friends Muhammad Rafiq, Shabbir Muhammad and Abdul Majid Almani, who gang-raped the...
