Shj ड्राइविंग School

PHD in Patience and Perseverance -

Its 6 am in the morning , and the two people whom i cant stop thinking about are faisal and hassan..

My relationship with Faisal and hassan began in the early summer of April 2008..

That is the first time our eyes met each other and we had a brief conversation which lasted for not more than 20 secs...

After that blessed day -  my life changed forever...all i could think of was grabbing the attention of my  2 dear angels...

 every time i visited the driving school..a brief moment with them was all i seeked..

but nonetheless , sometimes they were there , sometimes they were not there...

most days i came back disappointed.. now i have come to a point where i cant wait any longer..

i dream about them  in the nights and day dream about them during the days..

i have come to a point where i have decided that if either one of them does not accept my proposal ,

i am going to fall on my knees and humbly request them to give me a chance , let me be part of their everyday lives..

i would do anything , and believe me when i say anything  - to get my date with them..
 
over the last 1 and 1/2 year they have taught me some of the most beautiful lessons in life..

those of patience and perseverance...they have taught me to never give up , no matter what happens..

they have also taught me to self...motivate myself every time i come back from their school..

Faisal and hassan , i hope ..from the deepest and darkest ocean of my heart -  you read this blog and give me that date..

Dear Reader - if you are thinking , what i think you are thinking about , i am sorry to disappoint you..

I am definitely not Gay..i am  the guy who is just trying to get a date for his driving license from the last 1 and 1/2 year at the Shj driving school..

Love Aaj Kal
For all those who have ever loved somebody in a - one way tunnel with no light and absolute darkness at the other end of it..
IF there was one love story that would interest any Bollywood director whose rip offs have ripped off every movie goers wildest imagination..
This ones an absolute original from the stable of my heart..
They say its easy to like somebody and hard to forget that somebody..
Absolute crap! Scaling Nandadevi or Kalaparbhat would seem like a walk up the hill..
Why is love so complicated ? and why does it bring about the greatest amount of joy with an equal amount of pain./. maybe that’s the equation of balance that brought the downfall of Troy..
I think she is the one – that’s what Sahil told himself the very first time it struck him..
It undoubtedly was - the most beautiful feeling that left him completely thunderstruck..
To describe her would be like describing the valley of flowers.. Every single flower in that valley would feel less beautiful in front of this angel..
Each flower - one of its kind , so special and beautiful that one would be in complete awe upon its sight and would question his holiness whether this was for real..
for that is exactly what the Sahil asked himself ..is this for real ? It felt as if his holiness had decided to take the day off and shower him with a thousand blessings all at the same time..
To be continued…

Ama(Gone)

Friends and Campaign Members - All i wanted to do was read a book.
So where did I go ?
" AMAZON"
Why ?
Because I thought it was - The worlds most amazing and user friendly website to buy a book
What I didnt know ?
Amazon had the worlds worst service level !
So here goes my story :
Waiting and endless waiting at the end of a dark tunnel which never seems to end is what i am currently going through.
I logged onto Amazon on Dec 23rd 2008 to buy the book " Erikk The Giant" with a lot of enthusiasm. The estimated delivery time for the book was 23rd April ( 4 months from the date of booking ) . Seemed like they were shipping it from the Planet Mars. Today is the 28th of April and there is no sign of my book. I have already been debited for the purchase made in the month of January.
When i wrote to amazon , somebody from their customer relations dept wrote back to me explaining the entire delivery time process.
I am still waiting. So Mr Amazon - where's my stuff ?

The Deport - Part 1

The Deport : Part 1Not in the wildest of my dreams had i imagined that this would happen to me ! Today was going to be like any other normal day , except that i had no clue what was in store for me. So allow me to take you through the TRAUMA that i faced - all because some whackjob decided that i did not fit into his category. Flight QR 105 ...landed at Qatar Intl Airport at 06:55 am on a bright sunny morning. Passenger ( Pax ) disembarked from his flight and went straight to the immigration counter to get a visa on arrival. What the poor pax did not know , is that he could not get one..Get one ? What ? Get one - visa on arrival. Why ? Because some whackjob whose wife made him do the dishes and the laundry last night - simply decided that the pax did not fall into the so-called category. Now.. what category did the pax fall into ? only God Almighty can answer this question. So what happened next ? The poor pax was made to sit at the airport cluelessly for almost 2 hrs beforeThe Deport : Part 1 Continued..The poor pax was made to sit at the airport cluelessly for almost 2 hrs before another whackjob decided his fate. Helpless pax was told that he would not be allowed to fly to Bahrain , inspite of having a flight tckt to BAH. Frustrated pax was asked to book a ticket for himself on the next flight out to Dubai at 12:... Read more25pm,and he was directed towards Qatar duty free ( which by the way sucks and can never come close to Dubai duty free for another 100 years ).Authorities at the airport were absolutely 100 % non co-operative. They refused to let the pax even have his passport - like he was some criminal.Pax currently holds the designation of an Asst Brand Manager and has a status of Food services supervisor on his UAE resident visa. But did not make it to the Oscar category laid down by the Airport whackies...
