Whatta a weird post to write on first day of a New Year…
But last days were not the best for Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto is dead, country is in cramps…
But, see, for me these days, when the country went through purgatory, have been about nothing, repeating that I was bored is not true enough, I was actually numb, idle..
This is a few quotations from my wall on Facebook:
01.Jan.08@04:44pm: hello klepo. how goes things?
30.Dec.07@04:16am: heyyy!!! how are u doing??? ps:I’m not asking to check if u are still alive or not
[reason why the person wrote it like this is a longer story]
29.Dec.07@12:12am: Hi Klepo, how are you doing? How is the situation there? Take care of U
27.Dec.07@10:43pm: Hey Klepo………………… Take care man…… hows the situation there?
27.Dec.07@10:13pm: hey take care of yourself…. update us on the situatuion out there
I was afraid, frustrated and sometimes pissed off, but afraid about the country, not about me. I was feeling exactly the opposite of what You have been feeling. While You have been anxious about my safety, I was frustrated about what will people of the world think now about Pakistan, while You were hoping that I am not in the middle of it and out of the country, I was hoping to be somewhere where I could do or experience something… even in Karachi, at my flat.
I am sorry, I didnt understand how much afraid have You been, every mail instead of making me feel thankfull that people care, made me even more frustrated about me doing and experiencing nothing…
I am sorry because I thought I was right, I hope You will still care. Trust me that when I say I am fine and nothing is going on, its true, but please still write me messages if I am all right…
I will learn to appreciate them.
