Speaking doctors

Saturday passes away with cooking. Spaghetti qeema and salad with loads of greenery.  My younger brother has three servings and I can see spaghetti coming from his ears. A touch of imagination. ہمسفر نہ رہآ ہمسفر We have the PTCL smart three in one. But it’s a three or none. It decides to turn on and off on its own. So over my long weekend there is no internet wifi connection , TV and landline phone. We are left with the slow cellphone wifi. We chat and chat among ourselves till our mouths hurt and our heads ache. And it was the last episode of ‘Humsafar ’ yesterday. I can predict the ending. Fareeda khala will turn mad, the threesome will live happily ever after and Sara will die. “Woh  PTCL tha magar us kee service na thee, Kay dhoop chaon ka alam tha…”   The Misbah touch Our nation has a virtue. They continue to poke and provoke anyone with patience and then the one with patience eventually decides to erupt.Here comes the volcano. Its high time the nation accept...

Nineteen days of the month done with. The city holds a jalsa on women empowerment and women dance away to show how powerful they are. After a glorious test comes the exam and our team tumbles.

One of those who just want to be heard, I ponder shrugging my shoulders and walk away.

Its one of those blessed days called ‘long weekend’. Friday was a little tough or maybe just that, tough. But then it was tough for the whole of Pakistan I guess. Our cricket team stumbled at a score of ninety nine. That upset our Pakistani men no end. “Our team always does that”, they say. “But then just the other day our team caused the opposing team to be all out at seventy and remember how excited  we were! ”, I oppose. Of course they don’t like my views. Little do I care. Coming back to my tough day and  as I  think back  it seems that it was rather fun. I told that to Sumaira (our year two) and she didn’t agree. Having smooth rounds always is no fun. There should be some speed breakers. The Baba solution On coming back home I try to find some solution to improve. “Instead of just doing a fellowship in oncology, I feel that I am running some administrative job”, I discuss with my father. “Administration is fun!”, my father smiles away. “But it’s a little toug...
