Today is the second Saturday after I have started working. Last Saturday, I planned to write this blog, which I am writing today. *meaningful expression* I guess I am just too lazy (or I was really busy? Latter one, it makes me appear more impressive) to post this one. Anyway, so when the first four days of my job ended, I heard my office was planning a movie screening.
So the party management committee (yes, an office of 30-35 people has one) planned that we should go for Transformers 3, at Atrium cinema in 3D. I was not excited. I have stopped watching movies, but I felt like going for two superficial reasons. First one, it was my first week, and whatever I did, will be seen as permanent; if I chose to not go, then I could have been considered a boring person and not invited to further outings etc. The things is, I wanted to be in the 'in' crowd. Not among those people who just come and work and are boring. I wanted to make myself known. I couldn't suppress the desire to say, I exist! Secondly, I myself wanted to socialize. To know people, to see who was what kind, learn their names, make some jokes. Though I wasn't getting that at the movie, I was definitely gonna get that that at the dinner after the movie.
Also, everything was free. A 3D movie screening with glasses and popcorn and a dinner, it was all free. I went.
I can't say I enjoyed the movie. I am happy I didn't miss the maghrib, which occured during the movie, thanks to some colleagues who were going to pray, and thanks to my beard, because of which they asked me to come along. SubhanAllah! I can't say I enjoyed the movie cause I got so bored during it, that I slept. I slept during the movie, well not through the entire movie. But to some parts. Reasons were many, I realized I had grown out of lame movies, the didn't have any realism to it, the action effects defied physical reality, the plot was shit boring, the hero seemed like a looser, the dialogues were ridiculous sexual puns, the 3D was abused... or perhaps the actual reason was that I had been in front of a screen All day?
and my eyes were too tired for any more shit? I don't know.
Anyway, the movie ended, and on our way to Food Center, the supervisor asked (all guys who were sitting in his car were from Research team) how could that guy break a 128-bit encryption in 2 seconds! That Is All They Had To Talk About After The Movie! Those Geeks! and then from there onward, that's what the 'Research Team' talked about. About breaking 128-bit encryption quickly. I was almost expecting him to assign me that task!
Anyway, I loved the talk. I loved how my izzat was once again saved (nobody had known about my illiteracy) and I loved the food and loved the gelling together with all.
Thumbs up!

What others say and I like.
Mostly an archive of internet articles I want in one place, with some of my writing and rumination sprinkled here and there.

Enough!
Okay. There's been enough bullshit now.
I am bored! Man I am seriously irritated.
I needed a place to share all my activities with someone; an opportunity for me to just pour everything out and get somebody's comments on that. As it turns out, there never really can be a person who can comment. As in, there will always be people who would comment, and people who would want to listen. And good people too! Caring loving people. But those will be wrong kinds of comments. And people with right right kind of comments, advice, would Never have the time to listen to all of my bull-shit.
So?
Here I am. I have made this blog private, and instead of sharing stuff in here for people to see and comment and get engaged with, I will just get my frustration out here.

It starts this Monday!
So, instead of taking up the job as a software engineer at Goodcore Soft (which is a very good company), I took one up at Wichorus, because my instructor suggested there'll be more learning here. And so, instead of July 4, work starts from July 11. I am really looking forward to it :)
So far, that's what's been up. Finding where to work. Giving interviews. Waiting for responses, giving more interviews, hehe. And eating so much in between that my sister who doesn't work out herself started telling me to work out. It's only a few days till my whole family starts to push me to gym too. And their next step, yeah I do think situation will go there, will be to stop feeding me.
That's up so far, in next post, I will inshallah write what I have been meaning to share for quite some time. My goals for this year. I hope if there's any problems with them, I find them out now.

Just Graduated
So, I have just graduated. It was wonderful, not the heat and the sweat, but seeing my parents faces glow. It was wonderful to introduce them to my teachers, and my teachers telling them how good their kid has been (no I didn't bribe them beforehand, I just took them to one who doesn't know me at all ;)
It was on 18 June, and today is 29th. I had found a couple of jobs on Lahore, and one of them was Alhamdulillah a decent company, but mother insisted I come to Karachi and live with her. So I looked harder here, and by the grace of God, found equally great jobs here at Karachi. 4 July is the starting date.
Let's see how it goes from there! I am excited..
