Today my day started quite early, woke up to the voice of a baby crying next door. My night was surprisingly very restless thanks to the aunty yelling at the middle of the night. Got ready and grabbed my Coffee and ran out of the house. As I settled into the backseat, ready for the long journey ahead, I stared outside the window and saw the city come to life. Everyone in a rush to get to their destinations on time... Kids standing by the side walk along with their parents wiring for their school vans... Men tapping along their steering wheels impatient to get the traffic going... An aunty or two adjusting their hair and humming along with the song. Everything was on the move...colourful and vibrant.
My long journey didn't feel that long anymore as I saw my universities red building come into view. After parking my car I walked into the admin department and all my hopes went down in a jiffy. The line was never ending, or so it seemed... The line wasn't the worst part... What could be worst? The person needed to get the line started was on a tea break. The kind of break which could take 2 minutes or 2 hours to end. My high spiritedness wasn't helping either. Anyways I found a seat alongside another fellow student who had been waiting for quit some time. Call it my luck or someone else's the admin person strolled into the building looking just as lethargic and bored as he always seemed to be...my turn finally came in what seemed like a decade... For some odd reason I felt my happy spirit creeping back, probably because now I knew that I was about to head out again and restart my visual treat...also grab a thing or two to eat as I was famished at this point. My rude back home was just as eventful as it wa in the morning. I got home with a sandwich in one hand and a water bottle in the other. This was my day...something was definitely in the air as my day continued with the same enthusiasm. It was a good day.

Gravediggers
It gave me shivers when i read the horrifying news of a man who raped 48 woman's dead bodies. It took me a while to compose myself as i couldn't believe if a human could actually do this. It said:
"A man was arrested for defiling the bodies of over 48 women in the Paposh Nagar graveyard.
According to Incharge Paposh Nagar police kiosk Chaudhry Saeed, a gravedigger Nawaz came to him and informed that Riaz, 29, used to sprinkle water on the graves but he had been defiling the corpses of women in the graveyard.During initial interrogation, Riaz disclosed that he along with his accomplice Waseem had defiled the bodies of 65 women during the last eight years.
He revealed that Waseem was his neighbour and they lived in Nusrat Bhutto Colony. He said that Waseem had arranged a job for him in the graveyard and he started sprinkling water on the graves.
Riaz disclosed that after arranging his job some eight years ago Waseem had asked him to dig the grave of a woman, and when he along with him dug the grave up Waseem entered the grave and defiled the body. Later, Waseem pressurised him to commit the same act, which he did, and later kept committing this shocking act.
He told the police that Waseem had died some two years ago after which he had been committing this heinous act alone."
We all should be ashamed to be a part of this society and pray to Allah that all of our sins are forgiven.

Gaddafi's corpse in display
Murky clouds linger on over Libya due to a lack of consensus on how to deal with the corpse of fallen leader Muammar Gaddafi, as the country is set to announce its "liberation" and subsequently its interim leadership.
Hundreds of citizens in Misrata, want to have a glimpse of the country' s top man in the past four decades.
Queuing outside a marketplace some are taking their children alongside, while almost everyone is having a video camera in their cellphones standby before they are allowed group by group into a huge commercial freezer in which the bodies of Gaddafi and his son Mutassim are stored, prevented from perishing. His blank and lifeless eyes speak enormously of the disgraceful fall from splendor and glory. Burial is still out of sight, as the leadership of the ruling National Transitional Council (NTC) is perplexed by not only the way and location of the burial, but also managerial issues.
It's certainly not the way we do things. A stronghold of 42 years over Libya comes to a tragic end.
