S3h (School of social sciences and humanities, in NUST University, Islamabad) is a lively place isn’t it. There are so many people, so many ‘vibes’. Each look you get, no matter how minute, means something (and that meaning can actually also be: nothing, but nothing is something too). There’s charisma, there’s energy, there’s colors and contrasts in every corner conversation. Mind-boggling amalgamate of cultures and backgrounds mixed under one roof man… I don’t know how or why, but this, I truly noted just today. I mean .. it’s wrong the assumption that younger, literate generation, or Gen Z as we like to call it, is just ‘absorbed’ in technology. No it’s not. I mean, they actually talk. They laugh and play and cheat and laugh a little more. For a moment let’s ignore the fact that 50% of the talking going on there is still “about” technology but well….it’s talking atleast, not chatting đ¤ˇââī¸ .. and the other 50% is NOT about technology either đââī¸
I just like this place more everyday!
Today was eightish outta ten. Although the day hasn’t passed abtk. I had a meeting for an ongoing project, which went very well. Then I had that class where we … see movies. That went okayish … coz that particular movie, I had already seen before. I was inducted in a group so .. good there. I had to run down to the Post Office today but unfortunately couldn’t, so … postponed that task till tomorrow.
I wanna go skating for a long time aj. And I mean if I do, it’ll be the first ever time I will be doing skating out on the roads of NUST instead of just my hostel’s parking lot. So .. yeah, I wanna do. Let’s see if I manage to do it. Otherwise, basketball.
You know .. I do feel like judging myself through my father’s POV on this. I mean he would say, (if he knew that I’m not doing proper basketball again, and now I’m skating,) that beta, “aek Kam to theek trha se krlo”. And he would have been right too. Maybe you also would think this if you saw me personally phasing this quick from basketball to skating. But .. I am doing all of it for my own pleasure right? In the very first point on the very first day, I decided to pick up a basketball BECAUSE I wanted to get out of my routine and enjoy myself, not because I wanted to be a champ or something! I just wanted to give myself some out-spent, pleasant-time. Me-exclusive-time. So .. I know it’s not good to switch this soon to another activity but … isn’t it better to do what I want to do than to do what the “universal rules of self-growth and skill-learning” dictate me? I am not trying to morph into this basketball giant. I’m trying to enjoy one or two hours of my time outside, that I spend with me. I want to skate today. So I’ll skate.
….this long rant is actually a reaction to the same-kinda-guilt I felt when I bought that game. I really am enjoying that though. Similarly, I want to enjoy my time outside too. It’s not like I’m trying to get into a team and you know, be a pro-basketball player. I just want to smile when I see me rolling down that little street like a child down a slide… Whatever….that’s it.
2100
Well đ …I’m back early from outside today coz my skating shoes broke. I mean, after this long convincing rant to myself, I was finally able to go out and skate on the roads with you on and … I feel like saying Hy, shoes, am I a joke to you ? ….I overthought about you so much a few hours ago and then you … drop dead. Nice.
Anyways … guess I will just stick with the basketball for next few days. Then probably buy new ones soon or get these repaired if possible, from somewhere outside. I don’t even know any roller-blade-repairing shops in Islamabad. Whatever, I’ll figure something out. Tb tk dobara âšī¸ââī¸âšī¸âšī¸ââī¸
So yeah ..it’s 2104. I guess I am just going to lie down to sleep early. I don’t want to watch any movie vgera, coz even without any physical excursion, I feel tired today!
Have a good night people. Try to pray fajar the first thing tomorrow, it’s at 545 now. Sweet dreams.
