Hell Structure Task Force - 1st Meeting's Minutes

Given the suggestion of an awesome friend, I figured, I'd post my own little list of people I would like to structure hell for:

Types of People who will have special, customized place in hell for them

1. Aunties in South Asia that insist on asking young people when they will get married
2. People who continue to tell me how awesome Dark Knight is, knowing fully well I do not have access to it
3. Drivers that choose to constantly drive with high beams on
4. Visa Officers
5. Incompetent people at work that give each other continuous and needless credit and praise
6. Editors that make 'little changes' to my written pieces without consent
   

(It's still Friday in some part of the world when I post this, I hope! And I know they're not five. Deal with it.)

- Friday, The 13th -

Sticking to the theme then..

Five Incessant Fears I Live With

1. Apathy - I no longer want to make a difference/change the world
   
2. All my closest friends would be married and the peer pressure builds while I continue to blindly pursue 'the perfect one' for me
3. Balding/Deteriorating Eyesight Combo
   
4. Alzheimer's.. My memories are too precious to me
5. Waking up in a coffin having been buried alive - bad case of claustrophobia

A bit morbid, that last one.. sorry!

.. And they return!

Friday 5ives and back with a vengeance!

Five Frustrating Arguments to have in Pakistan

1. Karachi or Lahore?
2. What time would you be back home tonight, son?
3. Is Musharraf's exit from the presidency good for the stock market?
4. Is America 'ready' to elect a black man or a woman?
5. A 'No' is a 'No', but what is an 'Oh' ?

Friday 5ives!

Thanks to a darling friend, I ran across this mindless distraction called 5ives.com. Inspired by it's sheer simplicity and pointlessness, I am gonna try to put together a weekly blog called Friday 5ives myself! In due course, notwithstanding my recent lack of commitment to writing, this column should serve as a decent combination of random musing and insightful confession. Probably more random musing though!

Here goes then - Let us begin with a rather pertinent local issue:

Five Ways to Spend Time in a Blackout

1. Curse the government, the power company, OPEC, and the neighbors with the noisy generators (In that order)
2. Play with the pet parrot that you've neglected all day
3. Set a record score on Sudoku for Mobiles
   
4. Fantasize about a future without a national energy crisis and then laugh at how ridiculous you sound
5. Appreciate the intricate design of the universe while staring at the stars followed by looking at the airplace taking off in a distance inadvertantly spurting out: 'Lucky B******s!'
