82'

I : I think P has solved the whole problem set. I am thinking of matching my answers with her.

She : Don't call her P. Call her baji (elder sis). You know she is older than you.

I : Hein :O .....how did you know this?

She : I checked her facebook account. She is older than us. Why don't you believe me?

I : No, it's not that I am not believing you. She doesn't seem older.

She : But she is.

I : Ok.

She : So call her baji. You dont know any thing about her. You know she was born in 82.

I : Dont tell me? I mean......... Really? :O

She : Gee haan. dekha hoi ho naa heraan!

I : SUre....82....you mean 82?

She : YES 82!

I : You know what.... I was also born in 82 :)

Haha....I wish I could capture those giggling moments in which she became speechless!

Fruit Chaat

Just few minutes back, I came across to my blog just by chance. I checked that the last time I published the well written post was February 7, 2010. It's sad. The main purpose of creating this blog was to record what's going on in my life but I could not record them on regular basis. I used to think that it would be my pastime to read my blog "if" I reach my old age. I am feeling sorry that there were so many interesting things which have been passed without leaving any record. But I think I will write about most of them when I get free and it's not that far when I become a regular blogger :)

When there are so many different things creeping into your mind and you could not find the point to start with, it becomes the post which I am going to write. I could not find the ONE topic to start with so I am going to write exactly what's going on in my multi dimensional mind. Just like Fruit Chaat, different fruits in one plate!

it reminds me Ramzan at my home :)

So every thing in one stroke. Here it goes!!


  • -My finals of this semester are going to start from 20th of this month. In fact, two of my exams are on the same day. Yeah it's bad. But I have to take them with just 2 hours difference :( . Just four hours and first semester will be finished. 
  • Some of the seasonal fruits are necessary to make fruit chaat. But dont think that potato is also a fruit. Yes some people think so and they put potato in fruit chaat. errr....
  • -Cobb Douglas production function has so many unique properties and it can explain all types of economic concepts accurately.
  • -My brother is in Karachi these days for a one-month training. He got rejected from all the universities he has applied to. I am very sad for him. The main reason of his disqualification was the misplacement of one of his diplomas and universities are not ready to reconsider his case due to the tough competition. He was already away from home and all this made him so quiet and at more distance. He is used to share everything with me. I could not talk to him from many days and his quietness is killing me through. 
  • Do check that there will be no marks on fruits when you buy for fruit chaat.
  • -My skin is losing all its glow in this artificial environment. How much we are near to nature while living in Pakistan? I have realized that melting summers and sharp winters were actually my skin cares. I am missing them all.  When I see the mirror, I cannot recognize myself. So It;s better not to see into mirror. 
  • -The variance of P in Lucas Misperception theory is not equal to zero but it's correlation with Zi is zero.
  • -I forgot chanay on stove while I was chatting with my sis and they all were burnt. My apartment is still smelling :|
  • -My family is still not aware of the 'fact' that the dorm I am living in is for both girls and boys. :P There are no separate dorms like other unis in US.
  • It will be fun if you get some chaat masala from any shop. Otherwise the fruit chaat with mere black pepper and slat is a patient feed. Google any Pakistani or Indian shop and get the Shaan masala immediately. 
  • -I cried alot while seeing my father through Skype after three months.
  • -I have finally decided that my taste for flavored yogurt could not be developed. 
  • -The perfect competition is the bench mark for all types of markets. I will have to cover its all chapters although the chances of coming any question on it are very low.
  • -The weather here is very uncertain. Sometimes it becomes cold in the morning and warm at the evenings. And whenever I put on jacket it becomes warmer and when I leave it at home it becomes colder.
  • -Grapes rock in the fruit chaat. Its a must-put-in-thingy. 
  • -My apartment mate is convincing me  hard to go to theater with her as they are showing Alice in the Wonderland. I am not sure I will go or not because I have to complete a problem set which I am supposed to submit on Tuesday. Let's see!
  • -Integration is the opposite of derivation. It's easy and you can do it! (this was for me).
  • -My nephew makes changes in the list of his gifts each time when I talk to him. Although I know why he's waiting for me so impatiently :P but still when he says to come back soon, my heart melts. 
  • -'A' brought a mickey mouse pen for me when she went to Florida for a conference. I am lucky to have best suite mates :)
  • -We are planning to go to NY during summer break but we could't get time to search for a cheap flight. I am also visiting my auntie living in Atlanta. And have to go to Chicago also. The summer is going  to be a fun. 
  • -A lemon should be there your fridge. Fruit chaat is considered incomplete without it.
  • -I am still searching for a topic for my paper which I have to complete during summer break. How many things which i need to do in this short time of three months. 
  • -I have starting gaining weight, i guess (happy a fan?). My brother in law is used to tease me alot whenever he sees me on cam. Each time I have the only argument that it's not that I am getting fatty, it is just because I have to be over my laptop for the clearer view. hehe......
  • -In overlapping generation model, we have to discuss the attitudes and behaviors of two generations.
  • -I dont understand why there is only sale on strawberries? I am tired of eating 'em now :(
  • -I am not going to do laundry till my exam and that's final!!
  • -The only thing which I love since my arrival here is fish burger of the Burger King.  McDolands sucks here also. Burger King! I'm lovin it! 

  • -My head is turning into a factory of dandruff. Do anyone need some?
  • Fruits are usually expensive over there. So wait patiently for the sale. Their sales on fruits are superb.
  • -Whenever I see my supervisor, we have long discussions. You know on what? No no not on my research. He always tries to convince me to stay here forever and get married to any guy settled here. haha...he is such a sweet person. He is Sikh and damn funny and I really like him. Whenever I talk to him, I feel like i am talking to my father (no my father is not Sikh). We have a deal that he ll find a suitable match for me and if I like the person, I will stay here. Can you believe that? And he is sure that I will find out 100 objectionable points in the person he'll find for me same like his daughter does. 
  • -I have started learning few words of German. It's fun. 
  • -After making the fruit chaat, refrigerate it for some time. Its taste will come out more deliciously.
  • -Deadweight Loss is consumer surplus plus producer surplus with the implication of limit. Wait wait!! I think I am messing this concept up. Let me check it! 
I am leaving you with this must-watch-video. Good bye till my exam and you have to prayer for my exams!!!


I love it more each time I watch it. Especially when she gives a very long argument and his father says "o really?" and she says "yeah"

And this one is also a fun to watch:




P.s. I think I should go for Alice in the Wonderland. Papers to hutay rehtay hein aisi movies dubara nahi lagtiein :P

November 15 used to be her birthday. I missed my loving nani terribly today. Visited her today and left roses by her side. It was all quite...
