11. I've tried having a burger for Sehri but not Iftaar but I have a feeling it tastes better in the latter part of the day. Perhaps you could enlighten me?









12. I was searching for pictures of pretty white horses. No, not unicorns or Dora's ponies but white stallions and this is what I found among the images. I couldn't help being interested because this just reminded me how far we have come: from horses to cars named after them. You know what really pleases me about this car? In spite of achieving so much, we haven't forgotten our source of inspiration for the origin of cars. If Ferrari remembers to praise white stallions, we should too.




13. To make the note lighter, let's fly away with the bubbles. Pop, pop, pop! Don't miss out on the lovely colour spectrum that dispersion creates because each bubble is a magical little world and all of its colours are precious.

14. Chocolate cookies! And they don't look burnt or any more crisp than they should be because they seem to have been baked on a colourful spring evening and not at 2 a.m. I WANT!



15. Quasars, radio galaxies or white holes. Call them whatever you'd like to because they are the next best thing after my dear Pulsars. A picture speaks a thousand words and there are quite a few pictures here.                                                                         Is it just me, or are the Quasars actually colour schemed to match my blog??? ZOMG ZOMG! *excited face*



16. I've never done anything quite so eccentric, other than riding in a truck with my class mates. I thought I could give this a try, leaving out the guns and all, of course. I will take the roses, however.
This is the most decent picture I could find of this 'term'. Makes my blog look evil? Please please?



17. OHMAIGAWWDDD!!!! Who doesn't love chicken wings??? Maybe I'll try having them for Iftaar.

Mujhe roza nahin lag raha, okay?
ZOMG! ZOMG! ZOMG! NOM! NOM! NOM! EEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! FOODDD!!!



18.  Hawaiian shirts! I'm gonna get one too. But I like Rio better. Do you think the Rio people will mind if I wear a Hawaiian shirt to Rio? Nah, I guess they're nice and hospitable and all.

Also, I want some bling. Okay, not really. But IT'S SO SHINY!!!! OHMAAGAAD MY EYES!



19. JALEBI! What more can I say?










20. Miscellaneous happiness : D

With love, From Rio


So I finally watched the movie 'Rio'. Following are the important lessons I learnt since I've watched that movie.

THE EYES!
1.   It's the most pleasantly colourful and adorable movie I've seen in the past two years - or perhaps longer.
 I love 'Blu' , especially his HUGE eyes. They have more depth and sincerity than those of most  our kind.

2.   The term 'monkey business' has a number of connotations. It could be used to describe an act of impersonation or of course, the literal. 

So CHALAAK!
   3. Monkeys are very very selfish and they possess an astonishing amount of knowledge of business. You would expect their brains to be less developed (if you believe in the Darwinian theory, because apparently our brains are better than theirs) but they put their small brains contained in their small skulls to a big use. They are the best in business, actually. Not only did they invent 'monkey business' but they outwit hum ans where trading gold is concerned. They can also negotiate with birds, which is a rather valuable skill considering that their mode of verbal communication is sounds like "Ooo ooo Aaa aaaa".


Impressive taste in belts, don't you think?
     4.  Monkeys can also dance VERY well.


5.  Monkeys have a good fashion sense and they are very innovative in those terms. Gold watches can make elegant belts.


6.You should not lie about knowing how to use a motorbike. It can result in severe injuries and inflammation of the face caused by excessive embarrassment. You can also crush the person seated behind you.

White Lies
    7. Brazilian birds have a great aesthetic sense. They know how to make the most of a beautiful sunset by making the Sakura tree shower and singing along.


8. Macaws are intelligent creatures.

9. Shaista Jamhoori is not a lady. It is a phrase I heard on a current affairs show.

10. 'Clear for men' is a rip-off. It doesn't make dandruff disappear. This lesson was not learnt by self, but taught by a very dear friend through repeated reminders.


11. If I use Clear for men, it would probably clear my head of hair.

12. An article on The Express Tribune blog says that there is a Nihari outlet at Nagan Chowrangi. You can go there with your huge, sweaty, smelly and hungry buddies and learn swear words. You will probably learn to cuss like a sailor soon enough.
   

OHH JALEBEEEE!!!! *shiny eyes*
         13. Jalebi is the best. Khajoor is no match for it.
   
       14. I seem to have lost my sense of humour.
