Just Because

Sometimes as the sunlight drops on the little specks of dust, they start to shine like tiny gold fragments. But just because something appears a certain way doesn’t mean it is just that. Just because someone is a crackjob around you doesn’t mean they don’t wet their pillows every night. Just because someone is a blabber mouth doesn’t mean they can’t keep secret. Just because one doesn’t answer your insult doesn’t mean they don’t have anything to say. This world is such a devious place, where one can’t simply judge a book by its cover and that is exactly what makes it all so difficult to survive here, where most people like to believe in the first spectacle of everything and everyone.

No, I won't be allowed to take all the decisions of my life, I still will have to ask my parents to go hang out with my friends or even for an extra class, I still won't be allowed to work, yet I'll be thrashed down everyday and night with "Take some responsibility, you are no more a kid".  Another factor that upsets me is, what is that I have accomplished? Where is my list of great big...

Here is the story for everyone, who is worried about me and can't wait to see me. I along with all my Pakistani YES friends were to fly back to Pakistan on the night of 17th June, as we were going through the process of checking in with United Airlines few hours before our flight and it was my turn to check in the Computers of the Airlines crashed all over USA. The Airlines started giving us hand written boarding passes to us and we started going through security and after few of us (with hand written boarding passes) they stopped letting people with hand written boarding passes go through secuity. Those of us who were cleared from security went to the waiting room with our fellows and we waited there for our flight which was to leave at 10:15 pm till 4:28 am (yes i remember the exact time) when the flight was cancelled. We went back to the AU campus and were told to check out at 12:00 pm for our next flight. We safely boarded our flight from Dulles Airport for Kuwait, where we ...
