The Candle, The Light and The Amish


The picture above is a sign of a good old source of light, the sweet candle, now only remembered in terms and times of a higher emotional state of mind.

Yes, you guessed it right - a romantic dinner! But there is also one more occasion when the emotions are high and the candle is thought of quite desperately. And that's when you are resting on your bed, in a dark summer night, and suddenly all the sounds go quiet around you. You open your eyes - you see nothing, you try to listen - you hear nothing. The first thing that pops into one's mind is a candle.

You get up and light a candle, lay back on your bed, and wonder - why! Why in the middle of the night! Why my block! Suddenly you feel like being a dinner for the mosquitoes, so you get up and start wandering around the house. You're still thinking... why did I pay the bill, why did I work all week long to pay the bill, why do I do it, Why do I have to go to the office again in the morning. What my life has been, why do I still live here.... What's the future... You in the meantime also curse the "electricity-suppliers", shall I say only "suppliers" or just "liers" (for the sake of convenience) :)
But I was thinking, why do we get bothered with whats going on? The question revolves around human psychology, economics, sociality, prosperity and a lot more if you think... But just one point is worth highlighting...
Curiosity leads to discovery, discoveries leads to ideas, ideas leads to inventions, inventions leads to marketing, Marketing leads to wants and wants become needs. When you don't get when you need, you get bothered.
Now the point is, if there isn't any "Curiosity", there won't be any needs (except for the natural ones). The question is, is there anyone in the world, who isn't curious? The answer is, yes and no. There aren't any normal people (mentally and religiously) who are not curious of new advancements. But there are also some people who are not curious or more accurately 'ignorant' about the new advancements of technology and lifestyle.

The most well-known community in the world is the Amish community. Besides all the religious matters and believes, isn't that the only community living at peace!

what if we all are rendered Amish compellingly or willingly sometime in near future :)

Get The ROLL INN Rollin'

The only place in Karachi -in my opinion at least- to get the best chicken cheese rolls is ROLL INN -boat basin, Clifton. This place is so popular, and probably the rolls so delicious that their rolls have become the center of attraction, or more accurately speaking -have literally blinded the curtomers of any other drawbacks in the place! I bumped into a boy from my own neighborhood back in Gulshan-e-Iqbal. I asked him what are you doing here with your buddies, he replied that he was there to eat the rolls! I've gathered some pictures of the place while I was there myself waiting for the "waiter". Finally the waiter arrives and hands over the menu, after deciding what to eat me and my friends moved to the drinks section, guess what! they had "Letter" bottles of soft drinks being printed on the menu! Guess they have put a lot of thought when having those menus printed! Let me explain the magic of these super rolls! This place is so damn small that it can barely ...

Bomb Threat at Business Avenue

There has been a bomb threat at Business Avenue at Shahrah-e-Faisal. The building has been evacuated and emergency measures has been taken. Bomb disposal squad is searching for the threat at the moment. The picture was taken at 3 in the afternoon which shows ambulances in front of the building and people waiting outside for any confirm reports. One of the pedestrians humorously told that this is just a rumor spread by someone who needed a day off! Other statements highlighted that the treat was made in 11 in the morning some said the building was evacuated around 2 in the afternoon. People standing outside are getting a bit bored, some anxious and a some grumpy! One young individual said "I don't know what they are trying to do, either let us go home or let us go back to our offices" There are still no confirmed reports of the threat or the threat being neutralized. If you get any updates, please share. Also lets pray that noting really happens, I'm sitting in the bui...
