An experience I will never forget

I sat there with nothing but a few complexed lines of code going through my mind.I sat there wandering why can't these errors go away and ease my life.

Sometimes, strange things happen.Sometimes, it's better not to expect much from life.A friend rushed to me today, trying to convince me to get up and take part in a debating event we registered for.I didn't really want to at first.
Till yesterday, i had never taken part in a debate.Nervously, i got up.Trying to hide my fear of losing and making a fool out of myself as i did so.

What kept me going? Maybe it was the belief i had in myself.Maybe it was cuz of all the sayings I read before.Sayings like " You can't win until you lose "

Maybe it was just cuz of my friend.I really don't know..


The topic was ready and a few thoughts were left to sleep.

I had 20 minutes to sum it all up

The pen was in my hand..
The brain was put to work..
The things in my mind
Were written down as words..



It's funny how when you don't want time to pass, it rushes through you.I got up and ran outside to practice my words for the first time.


Like i said, the best moments in life do come unoticed.My best moment of today did as well.I really wont mention much about that here as i like keeping my blog personal.Just for my memories and nothing more than that.


I rushed to room 310 a little tensed.I was late already.I asked the judge to start the debate in a few minutes.Yes i had to go to the bathroom..

I do that before basketball games and well, this was nothing less than a challenge for me.It was like a basketball game that i wasn't willing to lose

I hate to lose.

The debate started.I patiently waited for my turn.As the speakers went on i had a question in mind for this girl.I stood up polietly and tried asking her a question.She refused

" SIT DOWN..SIT DOWN SIR!" were her exact words.

The show had begun
It was on..


After my friend and the opening governments turn, it was my chance to get on stage.I call it chance cuz i felt the desire to stand and talk infront of the few waiting to hear my every word.Yes, i was confident and willing all of a sudden


They called my name.I stood up for the challenge

" First of all i would like to say, if a question is asked, answer it polietly " i said to the girl..

My nervousness drifted away.My voice became louder.My hand n eye cordination looked as solid as it did two years ago.I stood on a dice after two long years.I felt at home..




I would like to start my words with the name of Allah(s.w.t)

O lord of heaven and earth and sea
to thee all praise and glory be
how shall we show our love to thee
giver of all



I replied to every point they had in mind.The rusty me was long gone after a minute of my time on the dice.


The few words i would like to remember :

" Sit down mam.." i said to the girl who insulted me

" sit down mam! " I said it again as she asked another question

" sit down MAM! i would love to answer your question if you were just a little more poliet" i said to her after she stood again

i looked down, only to look back up

" It is personal.." i said to her in front of all those listening

Before saying that i long thought about it in my mind.Maybe it was just one second, but even that is enough when all your memories suddenly rush through your mind and you know what you're about to say is right.It felt like i had all the time in the world before i said " it is personal" to her
It felt like everything had stopped.It felt like time was on my side..



I would like to sum this up by just thanking zeeshan for pushing me towards an experience i would never forget.The dice is where i belong and I wanna push myself to get better once again


p.s : You know you're right when the same girl comes up to talk to you and clear things out

Sir Aslam ( R.I.P)

p.s: The first few lines describe how i first saw Sir Aslam when i came for admission.I didn't have a choice to select the subjects and was offered stats.I wanted to study physics and computers.My father requested him to let me do computers and he, without any hesitation agreed.R.I.P sir.It's just because of you, that i am where i am right now.You were a great man


I entered with disgust
My father in front

I had to wait in a room
until you called for me

I saw you for the first time
It was you who made my life easy

I would've been someone so different
but cuz of you, I'm me

You said yes, when a lot said no
it changed my destiny

Not a lot of moments with you i remember
but walking down the halls, hoping not to collide with you is as fresh as you leaving

You were the pride of our college
You were the stone that formed this college
You were the pen that gave us knowledge
You are the soul whose work we acknowledge

It's an honor knowing you
and we hate to see you go
Until we meet again
I live proud knowing you're a part of me
