Missing Mary Road

tags

tags are a funny concept. they can be defined in a myriad of ways. to be honest, in the context of blogging, it’s a pretty stupid concept, just as much as email forwards and chain letters. the redundancy of the whole idea is a bit weird. it kinda defeats the whole purpose of this blog, which is rarely personal, and more for the sharing of wisdom. either which way, i have been tagged by the articulate sumera gul and the flossing maestro himself, so not to be a spoilsport…here goes nothing.

5 years ago: hanging out at the university of waterloo, not really being successful in very much that i studied there, that being physics and economics and going through a terrible bout of insomnia, and driving more than anybody i’ve ever known.

1 year ago: waiting to be with my wife. all year.

5 songs which I know the complete lyrics to:

  1. janay woh kaisay loag thay from the movie pyaasa, sung by hemant kumar
  2. wonderful tonight by eric clapton
  3. yaadein by falak
  4. jamaica farewell by harry belfonte
  5. bohemian rhapsody by queen

5 places I’d hide away to:

  1. the republic of the maldives
  2. the bathroom
  3. sandspit
  4. open sea
  5. mary road, bath island, karachi

5 favourite TV shows: not really a big fan of television, but anyway…

  1. firefly
  2. battlestar galactica
  3. star trek: the next generation
  4. fawlty towers
  5. fifty fifty

5 favourite toys:

  1. my computer
  2. my now broken microscope
  3. my duncan yo-yo
  4. my snooker cue
  5. my hands

5 people I am tagging: to be honest, I wouldn’t want this wished upon anyone else. though if anyone is bored enough, i’ve also responded to something similar here.

check out where you guys are coming from. get a geographic look via the google maps api of where everyone is. quite fun. notice satellite/hybrid buttons + the zoom slider on the left.
