2109Delirious. Delulu. Never gonna happen. Daydreams. What else can one name the soft murmur of simple, very simple, far too simple wishes of a human. Its a complex world. Intricate. Sophisticated. Linked. One choice is not independent of the reaction from previous decisions. Its delulu but more complicated. And that’s utter non-sense. 2214I have been…

30K for 30 days
Sometime in Fall 2021 I am struggling with my schedule. A friend said today, “It’s alright to sleep till 7am when you’re doing a 9-5 Awais”. And .. really? 8 hours per day + 2 hours commuting to/fro job = 10 hours of day10/day x 30 days / month = 30 PKR300 hours of work…

I don’t know if I will share it or not. Most probably will at some later date. I feel unhealthy mentally. Exhausted. And I don’t know why. I wish I didn’t exist. The epidemic of existential crisis in the teens of today, I thought I had solved out my identity. Maybe I have and this…

How long it’s been .. a month? More I guess. Diary of a senseless wanderer. When I thought of this name, it wasn’t in my mind a bit how …sticky, it would be. Or perhaps I chose to create my future by choosing to be .. a senseless wanderer. Lol. Anyways, today is going to…

This week was mixed. I had already shifted to Attar but the whole week, I was approached one way or the other by Kashif to change room. Eventually I did. Anyways .. it was good as in I fell down pretty hardly, various times. And I stood up, again. In this week, I also saw…

Hy. Morning! It’s quite sometime after I am waking up in the morning again, to the birds in blues that fly around only at this time. It’s a beautiful scene. I’d deleted all social media except YouTube months ago. Now, I downloaded Instagram for some fun, yesterday, and decided to as well create another entry…

1623 So yeah … Last night I was stupid enough to like order a pizza for myself even though I have had dinner. Now 18 hours later, it’s still half left. I tried to share it with people passing by my room but … just one person took a slice. I had it ovened and…

2117 … nothing special. An ice-cream, a moonless night, a pair of inline skates and heavenly songs on headphones wrapping my head. What more can one need huh! (One can need another one to force-teach skating and share this all with but, I should not say it. After all telling deep desires open your weaknesses…

1250 Today I had no class. So … obviously I was feeling the need to “do something” and “just fuckin do something awais” in my head. I racked my mind but couldn’t bring myself to do anything. So I just kept laying there in bed till 12pm. Then something sprung me out of it ……

2209 Today was good. In the evening it became best. I went to class early today. But then also left early because nothing was happening except a lot of noise. I should have preserved a little to stay there but .. couldn’t. Went back to room. And that is where the good things happened. I…

2134Well, today was good. Kinda. Because I was mostly busy and thus, had no time for fzool thoughts. But what I just saw like 10 minutes ago is making my blood boil (angry emoji but I hate the red man). I should shut up. It’s natural. The reaction is natural and it’s all right. Shhh…

0726…I just resigned/left all the societies and internship groups I was in. Because with not doing any work, why should I waste their time and give trouble? Usually, when I post anything anywhere online, I always have some question in my mind: how will this impact anyone who sees it? How will this contribute to…

2051 I have my last written paper on 22. And that is most difficult one. Theories of mass communication. That teacher has one very weird habit. I mean not in a disrespectful way, just .. fun if you may. He calls us all, 40+ individual people in his class, ‘bacha’. And I’m ALWAYS like sir…

0925 Sitting in the kybo chairs, I feel so so happy rn. Like just now, there was a daily wage laborer here whom I just nodded to, while on my way for a project to library. He kinda pointed at the ears and I was like oh, you want to ask something about the headphones.…

Hy Tess, what’s up. How’s life treating you. It’s been a month or two I guess, since the last entry in the diary of a senseless wanderer. I guess it’s never actually going to stop being written, Tess. Anyways, let’s see what we got for today. Things have changed. They always do. Today I feel…

Today was okayish. I had a minor fight with Huda (fake name obv) but I also had two informal meetings. Other than that, I created another Fiverr gig (4th now) and attended Michael Kugleman’s Talk at Lincoln corner, along with both classes. I’m feeling good. If I keep learning about humans the way I do…

Well, today was okayish until I saw her! Like seriously, it was going well. I had an unexpected meeting with Kashif who by the way, is enjoying the yellow journalism, the usual. I don’t want to pin any hopes, but this guy could possibly be an MDF before I leave NUST. Anyways, I saw her.…

02.24.23
Today was good. As in I woke up late but 30 minutes later, I was at job and that is good, being punctual. I had a deep talk with Kashif today too, where I realised how slowly, our friendship had become only a part and parcel of party’s interactions and how we lost, as he…

02.25.23
So, today was okay. In fact, it was slightly more than okay in the sense that it started with another cold shower! I love the fact that I can expose my body to its limits in the morning and somehow, like it too. I am strengthened. I went to Kashif today but it did not…

Today, for the first time, someone close was harassed. The guy is a rich person from our colony. He might like cleanliness and education and maybe, loyalty, but he is a scumbag for me nonetheless. What worries me is the mere fact that I did interact with people from the opposite gender in my life…

Good things are becoming more frequent and bad things are becoming less and less, both in frequency and intensity. I love this transformation. Today, I will just write some things that invoke positivity in me: 1. I recanted over an instantaneous decision (to buy a flip phone)2. I returned back to the dumbphone a few…

Yesterday I missed out on reviewing, budgeting and planning my day. Now, however, I am back. Tomorrow, I will get up to bathe once again, as I am not letting go of that sense of accomplishment which comes with showering with cold water, first thing in the morning. Furthermore, I am noticing precarious behavior in…

Hy Tess, Today was fine! And yes, I wrote this on website again. Why? I will be sure to share if I am consistent in it (40 days) I am listening to a sad hindi song, just feeding and feeling the heartbreak slowly. Weirdly, I guess we like sadness too. The slow one to be…

245pmI am a forgetful person Tess. Like right now, after spending an amazing productive weekend, I was feeling irritated in home so I came here to the library to work, a change of scenery. And forgot to bring my headphone’s mic which I remove generally to ensure it does not get bad as I game…

I am feeling extremely angry. Because the NUST HBL bank was lousy as fuck and the fees issue of March 2023 was more than lousy as fuck. They first mistakenly added arrears which is pretty stupid for a “smart university”. Then when they gave me a renewed fees bill, they did not update the bill…

I just realized that now, I’m more independent than before. I can simply take a job, work, come home and there’s no one to tell me to be close to Allah by praying, not waste time in designing because it’s not related to my degree, not eat ice cream when I am cold, not join…

Hy Tess. I don’t think I’ll get up today when though one part of me really really wants to go to library. There’s a ton of small work left over the past weeks and today’s unexpected holiday from job is an ideal way to complete that. Or the other side laying on my bed right…
