...from the Largest of United's states!
(I still dont consider alaska a habitable entity)
What a wonderful trip this has turned out to be! I was recieved by chilly, rainy evening and 2 muggers in LA...and was greeted in Austin by tornado and hale.
There are 2 fascinating things about Texas - the ranches and the cowboys. BrokeBack Mountain took the glamour off one of 'em, and Dick Cheney shot down any possible interests in the other.
However, Cheney still claims he was only playing paintball and believes he wasnt responsible for the accident.

I'm Revived...I'm Recharged...and I am here to Stay!
...No, this isn’t another of Al Gore's pre-elections talks. This Chaami's survival story - the story of a young kid who dreamt big. But he couldn’t dream long because he often had to wake up for a change of diapers. Then he grew. And he dreamt...and dreamt...and eventually realised it isn’t going to take him anywhere. At least not until he leaves a country that boasts of over a billion dreamers. Some all day.
Defying convention, he flew east. He'd wondered what convinced his parents he would do fine staying away from home at such an early age. A few weeks in the country gave him the answer-He was under-aged to enjoy smokes, booze or sex, and was thrown into a country where Rules is the religion ...and everybody is a devotee. Naturally, he took a liking to Malaysia. He doesnt really recollect a lot of what happened since. But he remembers a brief period of freedom and absolute emptiness in life - when he first decided he will join the huge brigade of blogarbage-makers in an effort to pile unending, chronic bullshit onto himself and the world. But he had to stop. After another year of drudgery, combined with some strong luck - he finished his degree in good time. That marked the end of any structure to his lifestyle, and he fell deep into the sea of freedom....of eternal emptiness...a state which gave him the opportunity to do anything. Or nothing at all. Now he can see the force calling out to him. And thanks to his 5 yrs in Singapore, he will succumb without a question. Blog he will.
Now that he has joined the army of numb, money-sucking, mindless slaves of yet another multinational - he will continue to nurture his corporate interests over public good...and he will definitely continue to blog!

PS: Subsequent posts being from US - I feel it would be befitting to their habit of doing/having everything reversed if I could write it in Urdu.
Well mebbe thats why the Arabs seem to love them in a very peculiar way!
