Star Liner

Once in a while, there's this one line that takes up all the space in our heads. It roams and runs around, it rolls and jumps up high, until this line has become a part of us. 'Liner Doodles' is where I write those lines and create my own doodles for them, these lines are meant to be preserved.

"You will put the 'star' in starting over and over." -Sarah Kay in her poem "B".

Gave Shape-Poetry a try :)

Sarah Kay's TED Talk is one of the best TED talks I've listened to. You can watch it here.
Yes, still no Youtube in Pakistan. I miss Youtube though.

Back at the Road Not Taken

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey BLOG ^_^

No, I shall not keep calm. I've missed blogging, I've missed having no study to do and I've missed reading whenever and wherever I felt like it. Well, even thought this won't last very long. I will be going to a good Medical School in a few months (I really really hope and pray that I do). But, I still have free time on my hands for now.

Well, nothing much happened in the past few weeks except the study-eat-sleep routine. 

Apart from that, remember how my family randomly plans road trips? Yeah, that happened. This time, we headed off for Abottabad. Of course, I took my pile of course books along and while they explored the city I sat back in our room to study.

This one time I went out for a walk with Mama, Baba and my little brother Abdullah just after the sunrise. We came across this road among the woods that reminded me of 'The Road Not Taken' by Robert Frost.

I happen to be NOT a photographer, just captured this one because it fit the poem so perfectly.
And, my very awesome friend, Maheen Khan, thought so too. ^_^
P.S. The title of this photograph is not the same as the poem, that would be stealing probably. I guess :p
Also, started The Book Thief. Many say it's the best read ever. *fingers crossed*

Nineteenth

A Wise Penguin one said,
 "The only good thing about birthdays is that we get to talk to our friends whom we've not had a good talk with in a long long time."

That wise penguin was so right.

In fact, I got to meet my friends whom I hadn't met in a long long time when they came over to give me a Surprise Birthday Party. Seeing them was the most indescribable moment of happiness :') WITH AN AMAZING CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH THE BEST ICING AND BUNTIES DECORATION ^_^

Also, got wishes from my family whom I hadn't reached out to in a long long time either.

Not to mention all the popularity I gained as my Barney Nutcase Family flooded my Facebook timeline with all the wishes and the posts and the pictures AND kept my cellphone busy with all their calls trying to do as much as they can while being kilometers apart.

I love the people I have in my life. I am so so so so blessed to have them.

Yeah, I had one of the bestestestest 19th Birthdays one can ever have, yesterday. ^_^

Lettering that my out-of-the-world amazing friend did for my Birthday :)
Also, I'm stuck under a pile of books preparing for my Medical College Entry Test. And, watching Suits, of course.

The test's on 22nd September 2013, till then 'Hey Blog and fellow awesome When It Rains readers, I'll be taking a break from my sanctuary. Will be back with a whole new Flashback Series :D'

Have any ideas? Mail them to me at whenitrains.blogspot@hotmail.com :)

CHEERS ^_^
