Updates

There wasn't much being written here. It's not that Aymen or I are too busy for it. We just don't have anything much to write. Everything is going fine with Ramadan giving more peace. A few things I think we all must know are:

# Muddasir will soon make a trip to Europe. He will inshAllah meet Major uncle there. He will be spending time in Amsterdam attending a meeting on child psychology.

# There was a good news I heard from Zeeshan bhai when he came to meet us a couple of weeks back. He will soon be a father.

# Atif bhai is working hard staying at his hospital. The last time I spoke to him he told me how he was spending several hours in continuity without any sleep. He will be the next to get marred in our family.

# There is a partial out-break of conjunctivitis in Hyderabad. Even Muddasir was infected.

# For those who are not aware of what Hyderabad has become: it takes two hours to travel from Koti to Tolichowki!

Zeeshan Bhai's Wedding Card

Contacts ...

Danish had two important affairs to take care of staying in Houston - he is waiting for his letters from universities and also he had to take care of the fish at home which are into their third year as pets. Danish will be doing his Medicine in Caribbean. It would have been nice to have him here. Atiya will be in US now. She has holidays. Muddasir too will be here in Hyderabad in July inshAllah.

On Friday Irfan bhai told me that Zeeshan Bhai's marriage will be on 16th. Most probably it will be in GM gardens - opposite to Irfan Bhai's house. The function hall is still under renovation but it should be ready by 16th of July.

I am in good contact with Sarah baaji but I have lost touch with Ayesha baaji. Though we sometimes get to exchange a mail or two, we never get to chat. It has been long since I had chat with Muddasir. We have some offliners at times. Danish and Atiya are on Facebook. I have not seen Zeeshan bhai online for ages now. No e-mails too. The last time we had any conversation was when he was in hyderabad. My contact with Fareha aunty is through offliners sometimes. There are always nice mails she forwards to me.

July!!!

Somedays back, I was just going through the old photo albums we've in the rack. It was like living those memories again, those were, I think one of the best times I ever had, the best vacation ever the time I started loving this place, the time I understood what a family I had(Alhamdulillah),from bullying brothers to secret plans on how to sell coconuts outside Doctor Uncle's house. July was the month I had always looked forward to until it was time that we had to come and live here from good. I was excited!, I would meet everyone, my first friends(my cousins) to the uncles and aunts who made you think twice before calling them uncle or mama.

I remember the time when it was Imran Bhai and Irfan bhai's marriage, the first marriage I ever witnessed, with ironed sherwani and the best saleem shahis,we were enjoying every bit of it.It was then I realized that how much more fun it would've been if bilal,danish,atiya,jasem,doc uncle could've come with us and enjoyed all of what we did. Sleeping after 3:00 am and then getting up around 1:00pm and shouting all over the house...sleeping at one place and talking like for hours together, with no worry of computer viruses, board exams, EAMCET or anything else.

It's time I think, that all of us are going to re-live the old memories, this July is going to be a month to remember...after two reminiscent paragraphs, I'll write about what all we have to look forward this July in Hyderabad, and what we'll be missing this time.
There'll be the much awaited Zeeshan Bhai's marriage this July, after like two months of bride hunting by mummy and pinky baji...the bride has been found, and agreed too.
The girl's mom was mummy's math's teacher, they currently reside in Salarjung colony...just opposite Doctor Uncle's house, and the girl's younger(est) sister is Zubair's batch mate.


Who's Comming?:Zeeshan Bhai(of course),Saleem Uncle,Hamza(who arrives here a week early, travelling alone),Toto Aunty,Summaiya,Khadija and Omer,Muddasir(from Kyrgyzstan),Doc Uncle, rana mami, bilal and jasim, also to join us from Riyadh are Imran Bhai, Asma Bhabhi, Amaana and Areeb and not to forget hashim bhai from Bahrain.

And We Miss?:Danish and Atiya,atiya apa,enju uncle,sarah baji and family and also aisha baji and yamin bhai.

I think that sums it all, we'll be also joined by Baby Aunty,faraz and atif bhai and also Sharmeen didi from karimnagar...hope all of us have fun and enjoy every bit of the marriage.

Now Zubair writes...
I am quite excited about Zeeshan Bhai getting married. It will be after a long time that we will be the dulhey waley. Its going to be fun but at the same time I will be a little busy with my college and CAT. I even have campus placement process in the days ahead. Presently I am doing an internship at Genpact. That's enough of me.

I have been in continuous contact with Jasir and Aymen. As usual I spend time in front of the computer till 2 am at least. Today I got to talk to Atif bhai too. It was sweet that he called me up. He will be coming to Hyderabad on Monday and will join a hospital here for his DNB. That will take at least 2 years of time from him.
I somehow lost the thought that even Sarah baaji was writing a blog. Today I read it. It is always nice to read what my people write. I write a lot about myself so much that I neglect others. I will miss Sarah baaji and Ayesha baaji a lot in July when Zee bhai gets married.
I spoke to Shaad a few days back. We even had a plan to meet last Saturday but couldn't. Maybe inshAllah someday soon we will catch up and spend some time. Faraz of course has become a busy guy. He is busy preparing for his exams that are scheduled for July. It gives me a pain to hear that it will be difficult for him to make it to the wedding. He has his exams until 16 th of July. He can manage attending the Valima maybe.
Last Sunday Irfan bhai and Hanna bhabi came over to our place. It was nice playing a little with Batool and Ibtehsam though it was for a very short time. I am looking ahead for Toto aunty's visit and even Imran bhai's. Doctor uncle is scheduled to arrive at 10:30 pm on Friday and inshAllah we will be there to receive him. He was hear five years back.
