Morning exercise is one thing which has kept me sane through out, living in an urban city where everything seems to go awry one minute and hilarious the other bit, I took up my healthy morning habits of exercising and enjoying the Karachi breeze which is synonymous with tranquility; yes well laced with bus smoke and pollution I still seem to enjoy the Kolachi wind which kisses my room good morning.
Begins another day in a young girl’s life juggling job and friends, where I literally dive into my ever honking van with the fear of Riaz bhai leaving me on my own. Each day my mornings end up diving, running, skipping and falling down for my van. I think I should coax my friends into betting what will be Hira’s new stunt for the van today. With sunshine filling me up and a popcorn bucket sized gossip ready with my van girlies I start my ride to work. Brief check up on makeup, shoes, unvarnished nails or at times even moustache talk we barge into the man’s world and have been scaring them away with our charms and ferocity.
Work is never relaxing for anyone missed deadlines, cases of amnesia in calling a potential client or the nightmares of all; a hideous artwork and the creative minds not thinking it of an iota less than regal and royal all are included, embroidering my life. Post lunch hours city girls like us are rubbing our temples and each day thinking of the same thing “so whatever ma says about getting married and settled is it all correct, should we just resort to the geeky guy in the picture and do the cooking for him or enjoy two more years of freedom and then if we don’t bump into anyone we nod” but again our marital dream balloon is pricked by the needle of a 5 minute recession defying meeting :p and we are ushered to see the boss who will use a screwdriver number 0.09 to make us find more avenues, *sigh* lets please work and do less of talking.
With a tea mug in one hand and a 6 feet plus list of things to do, I finally think of taking a drag of my addiction Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Konnects and take a look into lives of my friends. Gosh its hard being a city girl, seeing more friends wheedling me to meet up on all social forums the only thing left is winding up all the work to be there on time. And that is exactly when all clients deluge your inbox with changes adaptations… ok so now it means I have to complete all of this and only then be off hook. Perfect so this is how my day ends up with a speed slowed down by caffeine detoxification I sit down in front of the desktop and get my fingers and eyes totally worked upon, and finally after 35 minutes after the off time I can call it a day, making a mental note of not entertaining the last minute mails *wishful thinking* grab my bag and wait for my best friend to pick me up for the new coffee place.
In the whole hectic day now I get time to ponder on life. Another day just passed with ease in comparison to the less privileged, I might groan about work load but yes I know I am going back home to gorge on good food see a good movie and forget thanking the Almighty for the avalanche of blessings He sends each day to me. My mornings might be full of stunts my afternoons could be about refreshing makeup and touch ups to a bad presentation and last hour at work could be bad but the end is always well when I see my friends and family greeting me with all the love in the world for me I can only say life is crazy hell crazy but I enjoy living it.
