Hello Hello - We gonna've new year :-)

Dear All, Hope all of you had a good 2010 and that 2011 is as good or even better :) Might be I am posting a little earlier but incase I don't have enough time or I don't get a hold of you, I'd like to thank everyone who made 2010 a fabulous year for me. I'm not gonna say that 2010 was easier for me, but yes it taught me new things, gave me new courage to deal with things that goes nuts. By the end of year I also learn how to forgive, yes I did keeping in mind that "Forgiveness is the best revenge !!"

There are many people who supported me and made me *smile* through all my hardships. Yes, you guys were there when noone was around, I was low and down but with all of you by my side I was alive, I was doing everything as perfect as it could be "I must salute you all"

I'm sure in the long journey of 2010 I must have had hurt many of you either intentionally or unintentionally. Might be that particular time I was out of my senses and didn't thought about you. By the end of this year let's dig all those worse memories, "I am sorry, I really do"

Last but not the least all the true friends I have in my life, you buddies ROCK. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends with me in life. I am sure life wouldn't be same without you by my side. I wish to have all of you with me for lifetime, "Love ya all"

Let's welcome the new year which is fresh and new, let's cherish each moment. It is not only a new year, it is a new start of life. We are blessed with a new year to fulfill our goals and dreams...

Happy New Year !

Smile, Have great time with your loved ones :-)

Health is not valued till sickness comes

Morning Sunshine ! I can't tell how irritating my throat is since Monday morning. Now it's Tuesday and I am all down. I couldn't take a day off either as yesterday I went home some 2 hours early than normal. This crap throat always give me a tough time, I always do all the medication but still could not get out of this :-( I am making an unsuccessful attempt to work. I wish I could do something to come out of this as soon as possible.

While I'm sick I realize that we are blessed with such great health. We are having everything working in order and we hardly thank GOD, we don't pray often. By the moment we are victim of some disease or some bad happening we turn to HIM and ask his forgiveness. Can't we make it a habit to thank our Almighty for the best health he bestowed us ? I am offended now, I will make it a habit to pray more often and will be thankful to every single blessing I'm blessed with.

P.S. The weather is rough and wild, take care of yourself and stay warm

See you,

Ikra

You are the most important person in your life

You know what; you are the most important person in your life. This is a sentence commonly heard by many of us. It is so powerful yet so simple and easy to understand. Once we really understand it we can change everything in our life by just saying this sentence in mind. When we make it works for us, it will change our life.

I don't know about many but yes I must acknowledge that it surly changed my life. I must not say it's done in one big leap, slowly and gradually revealed energy and power. I realized that it is only me who will be effected with what so ever will happen in my life. We are always taking advices from our relatives and friends around us, I am not saying it is wrong. But yes when it comes to decision than it should be only yours. We need to trust our own decisions, no one is more qualified than yourself to know what is best for you.

Learn to use your mind powers, it will be best for you and your loved ones too. I have piece of song lyrics to share with you.

You're the most important person in your life
You'll be there with you through stress and strive
When things go wrong and you've unturned every stone
That helping hand you are looking for, you'll find it is your own

Hope all of you have lovely weekend,
Love ya all..

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference

Many years ago, a large American shoe manufacturer sent two sales representatives out to different parts of the Australian outback to see if they could drum up some business among the aborigines. Some time later, the company received telegrams from both agents. The first one said, "No business here, native don't wear shoes." The second one said, "Great opportunity here, native doesn't wear shoes"

Always maintain a positive attitude..

Wish ya all lovely weekend ahead,
*Smiles*

Thoughts of Thursday

Hello all, the skype is fizzled and I am in peace. I was off from blogging yesterday and reasons were some work, some home tasks. Testing server is down and I am here with some thoughts which crossed my mind.

1. I love that it is Thursday then Friday and then weekend is here, yay yay.

2. I love that it was dense fog today and so it would increase in couple of days. I love the fog especially in Lahore.

3. I love that on next Thursday i will be doing some preparations for Friday because that would be 31st December. I am planning to say goodbye to 2010 in a good way and let the light of 2011 touch my life.

4. I love that i am getting new ideas about my blog and i like when you guys appreciate my writings.



5. I love that I can laugh at myself. Oh yes, not everyone can laugh on her/himself but yes I can make it by just looking a picture of mine :P

6. I love that when I truly want something it doesn't matter what stands in my way, it's going to happen.


7. I love the fact that I can get up early in morning. YES, not everyone can make it waking up early especially in winters. But I do it with all my heart.


I can write more and more, but my PC is showing some attitude and I don't want to waste this work by waiting for windows to crash.

Love ya all, keep shining :)

The Blind Girl

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.

One day, someone denoted a pair of eyes to her and then she could see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, "Now that you can see the world, Will you marry me ?" The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend was blind too, and refused to marry him.

Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying "Just take care of my eyes dear, i will always love you forever"

True love is neither physical nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be

Monday Blues

Its a lazy dazy Monday Morning and I am having nothing to do yet. Have been waiting for build so that I can start testing. I was having a long weekend, got Thursday and Friday off because of Youm-e-Ashura. I am all set to blue, yes I am talking about my outfits and so is the day.

I am of the view that one should do whatever s/he feels good, don't listen to anyone when it comes to your personal matters. Taking opinion is a right thing but when it comes to decision it should be only YOU.

I have decided I will do the things which I really want. I have had already spent enough of the life acting upon things which others said. But now I am ought to take a turn. YES, I will decide my fate, my destiny. Nowadays people are just imposing things on me which screw up my mind.

IT IS MY LIFE AND I BETTER KNOW WHAT TO DO AND WHO IS GOOD FOR ME AND WHO IS BAD. YOU PLEASE KEEP YOUR VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS WITH U..

Yes my brain is frying, I don't know why people think that a girl over 22 is too old to get married. Isn't there anything else in life except this stuff ? Am I old enough to tie knot in that much hurry ?

More later,

Ikra

Random Thoughts

Saturday, December 18, 2010.. The new year is on its way and countdown is started, might be not many of you are that much anxiously waiting for 2011 to begin. Things are different at my end . Countdown has begun and I am all set to welcome 2011.

Yesterday evening was quite good, I went out with family to have some coffee. There was fog all around and darkness of night was adding flavor to it. Before going out I was feeling quite dull, but thanks a bunch to my lovely bro who made the plan and we went out. At that moment I realized that we need to find happiness at our own, there is happiness in things all around. Happiness is in air and we just need to grab it. Sometimes we feel like sitting with family, at some later point we feel like enjoying with friends, both add to happiness. Well, that's one side of story. I came back and was quite fresh, after weeks or might be after months I saw a movie too *Though am not into watching movies*

I slept till 11.30pm but I was awake at 2.30am. Ahh from many days my sleep is disturbed, factors are unknown yet. Well, that time I started thinking about 2011. Yes it is a very important year in my life, many major plans are going to accomplish as it say inshALLAH :-) I have had everything planned in my mind from day 1 till day 365. I am much more confident about future now and and I have strong belief that everything will fall in its right place at RIGHT TIME. I am feeling good today, I am feeling fresh. I am so sure that happiness is all set for me in the upcoming years.

Have a great and happy weekend ahead, love ya loads :-)

I don't care anymore..

It is strange that such moments comes in life when someone is so closer to you. You care for him all the way, you share everything with him, he is the one whom you want to tell every news and every happening of life. Then suddenly something happened and....

 
** I used to take care of him all the way I can, knowing each and everything about him and doing everything which he likes. But now NO MORE.

** I used to talk him about each and every happening of life, whatever has happened at home, university or office. But now NO MORE.

** I know him too well all he has to do is look at me and I used to get what he wanna say. But now NO MORE.

** Miles away we were but we always know every single detail about each other. But now NO MORE.

** Talking him and letting him know my discomforts was a relief. But now NO MORE.
 

Why things like this happen ? It doesn't matter to me either he is doing good, he ate, he slept. And I literally enjoy this state, I am enjoying everything in life. I am enjoying what I am now. I feel so good writing this all. EVERYTHING IS OK :-)

Sweet Smiles..


I like you, Nah I love you..


Will you.. ?


You're mine..



Together we'll live..

Is it always simple like this ?

Together we're perfect

Sunday Evening... Wished to go somewhere out but then left the idea because I thought to write some words about Love. Hmmm not as easy task because this one word encapsulates whole universe. So here it goes for you MY LOVE !

My Love,

When we talk everything is straight forward clean, I like laughing with you, there are butterflies in my tummy. I look at you and have to look away and look back again..

When we are together laughing and talking about everything it really makes me feel that I could stay there forever just to listen to you..

When you are beside me and I am sad and fearful about unknown happenings your one hug make me realize that everything is OK..

When we were apart I was not certain of anything in my life like I' m certain of us. I feel like I am walking over clouds just thinking about you..

Love,
Iqi

Say it again ...

"I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night" [When Harry Met Sally]

"Close your eyes. Close your eyes. Close... your... eyes. You're safe. You can relax. I'm not going to kiss you" [The Wedding Date]

"Look, I guarantee there'll be tough times. I guarantee that at some point, one or both of us is gonna want to get out of this thing. But I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life, because I know, in my heart, you're the only one for me" [Runaway Bride]

"So it's not gonna be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday" [The Notebook]

Oh dresses !!

I am going to admit one thing today. I have dresses addiction. Yeah, it is true. I don't have any idea since how long I am addicted to this lovely addiction but I loved it from all my heart. I got a huge collection of dresses and every time I am done with shopping I promise myself not to have another dress in near future. But seriously, whenever I go out to shop something I start noticing which dress is classic, which color I don't have yet (Asking myself if I didn't had any color :P ) Eventually I end up convincing myself, Iqi you are having many shades of pink but the one in display is different from all of them, the trouser is awesome and you must try it out once, oh remember you had pair of shoes other day they will go outclass with this dress. Finally, the result is a new dress and new charm to wear it *smiles wide*. I am of the view all the girls are addicted to shopping in some way or other.

What's your favorite thing to shop ? When you had shopped last time ? :-)

Good Byes !!

I have had the experience of driving in thick foggy morning today. The roads were all covered with fog and the road lights were adding flavor to it. For a moment I was lost in pretty awesome morning and put off my feet from race to lesser down car speed. My body asked for a coffee mug but none of the coffee shops were opened that much early. Well all the way driving to airport. YES, I went to see off a very close friend of mine. It was not the first time I went to see off someone rather I must say I am habitual of doing it every two months or so. Surprised? Yes my dad used to visit us after every two months.

I just had a feeling that goodbyes are always difficult and one of the worst things in life. Suddenly we are overwhelmed with the thought that might be its the last goodbye and after this we will never meet, might be some strange things will happen or what else. Ahhh, I am not at all good at goodbyes. I like people around , I am depressed when I am alone.

Goodbyes are only hard for me or difficult for you too ?

More Later,

Where are the winters gone...

I have nothing specific to write about, in fact I have no idea what to do. I am sitting in office with no major work to do, just repeating one line in mind "Where are the winters gone.."

Does anyone remember the winters of Lahore back 6 years ? Oops this question was meant for those who visited Lahore or reside here. Winters were freaky awesome that time. Now its December and no sign of winters till now. Ya I agree with those who say weather has changed but still my point is winters haven't arrived yet. I have had already planned lot of things which I gonna carry out on thick foggy day. You are trying to catch up my mind about my plans ? Nah, those are quite MINE and I am not gonna tell before the day arrive :P

Wishing Tuesday turns Friday *sigh*

Welcome

Ahhhhhhh finally i am here after a long long wait. I am unable to describe how exactly i am feeling right now. Happy, excited, ticklish, surprised and don't know what else. Dishy dishy Iqra will make this blog full of fun, love, and off course romance too. Actually i am a romantic bone :P

Big bunch of thanks Aish and mehr. I guess without you by my side I could not make it possible for a next year too :P

Later,
