A good Eid, it was.

A good Eid, it was. I'm trying to be cool with my yoda style writing though I absolutely hate star wars, but that's another story I would like to write about someday. This Eid I wasn't expecting much other than our usual mingling with cousins and occasional long naps but to my surprise it turned out to be one of the best Eids I've ever experienced. My elder uncle was in London, which was the core reason for the gloom expectations but the people, the stories and the conversations turned this eid into something special. I probably had my best looks this Eid, considering I praised myself in front of the mirror every now and then. The blending with cousins, sharing our concerns, secrets and discussing family politics were all the same, except, I was more active, more to say 'present' or 'socially active'. That one day at our village turned out to be full of scary true family stories of haunting and possessions, with children gaping in surprise and my father providing logical reasons for every story. I had my share of fear and concerns because the next time I went to toilet, I had my brother accompany me. The night permeated our minds and hearts with love, sorrow and tears as we reminisced the last moments of my grandparents. I don't want to end this post at a grim note so I'll share a dirty little secret of mine; I love watching teen comedies. The ones with a lot of girls. Go on, judge me.  Kthanksbye.

Being Efficient

Lately I've been going through a lot. To be honest, all I'm up to these days is procrastination, which is a continuity from last year, only, it has gotten worse this year. I need to organize myself, renew myself, renew my will, leave all counterproductive activities and become an activist. Things I promise to be everyday. I've tried a lot of solutions to stop myself but to no avail. I'm afraid, at this rate I'll run out of solutions and probably end up procrastinating, again. Though recently I've discovered/realized that the only way to stop is to stop at will. Not what one will expect, right ? No long solutions, no never-ending rehab policies, no spiritual confrontation, but a simple renewal of will. I'll be more efficient from now on. Form a perspective and stick to it (at least I hope I do) . So here's what I plan to do:

1) Stop Procrastinating
2) Do what I have to do.
3) Do it now.
4) Do it myself.
5) Be spontaneous.
6) Form a to-do list.
7) Stick to it.
8) Read this everyday.

I am trying to take a basic approach and then move on to complexities. You know what they say: You need to have a strong base if you want to rise high !

That one day.

That one day will come, sooner or later, when I'll stop regretting, and on that day, no power on earth will be able to save me.
