all the time in the world

Its ages since I put in my first-ever blog entry. I'm not exactly your average regular blogger, so posts from my side will be quite rare....I promise I'll post something whenever I'll remember that I've made this promise...lolz

Now that I've finally completed my MBA, and am unemployed as yet, I intend to make full use of my waste-, err, spare-time. Afterall, what is a recent graduate to do? Surely not be lost into the very appealing but lazy life where you do nothing but watch tv, eat and sleep (which is exactly what I'm doing now)? Lets start with the reader getting to know me better :) Bear with me....

I love to write...stories, letters, thoughts, anything that fires my brain into a writing frenzy. I remember in my school days, I was churning out poems and stories every week, much to the delight of my English teacher. I wrote on "Literacy and Illiteracy in Pakistan" for an all-Pakistan essay competition (way back in '91-'92) that won me a silver medal :) I was the number 1 reader, too.

My leisure pursuits are like fads. Except for staring at a spot for hours, pretending to be asleep & teasing siblings (which are my all-time favs) my leisure-time fads come and go. At one point, it was watching every sitcom on the Comedy channel, and when I became fed up of it, I turned to glass painting. Five unfinished projects later, cross-stiching started, and, much later, I was an origami maniac.

Then, out of nowhere, Harry Potter attacked. Resisting at first, I became a "Potterhead" :) In time I've cut down to one, the number of HP fansites I visit religiously. I often wonder how Voldemort will be defeated. How will Harry do it? Is Snape evil? Can Dumbledore not make mistakes? Did I tell you my non-Potterhead friends silently conspire to steal my HP books and roast marshmallows over them? Stupid Muggles! Wait till I get my hands on them...


Uh-oh....its time for my staring-at-a-spot exercise. I'll be back soon...
