A letter to No One.

Dear You,

I've been up since eight and haven't managed to accomplish something remotely commendable other than a few good laughs with my sister who didn't go back to sleep after Fajr. On a Sunday. I just got done eating a meal that was my sister's lunch and my breakfast. When there's biryani left over from a previous day's dinner, Ammi always says she doesn't feel like eating it and lets us eat it instead. I think she knows how much we like it.

I can't seem to watch a single movie. It's a funny story. My friend & I were sharing what we did on Eid in the recess, and she accidentally said that everyone in her house was studying when she really meant to say that they watched a few movies. So that's that. And we will now refer to studying as watching a movie.

Oh, and I remember another strange thing from that recess. Do you know how it was 11/11/11 two days ago? Everyone had created a fuss about it. Another friend exclaimed that it was eleven and that we should all make a wish. (Everybody raised their hands and started praying to Allah ta'la, which made me laugh.) I knew it was pointless, but I still closed my eyes, and I still made a wish. I hope you don't think that's childish. Even though I do not believe in superstitions, I believe in that part of me that will always make a wish while blowing a birthday candle. I think that just might be the most honest part of me.

I feel a little lonely this morning.

Anyway, I don't have much to say as I have to ramble. One of these days, I will look at this letter, remember this morning and maybe want it back. So I'm going to go make the best of this day and start studying.

And I hear Baba's footsteps approaching. I better run and pick up my books.

Thank you for listening.

Love,
Me.

That 11/11/11 is just pointless. Why don't we pray all the time instead of just finding a 11/11/11 to pray :P.

Just ignore the loneliness of the mornings ;) Mornings are as lonely as you make them. Read something, cook something. I spend my mornings....doing nothing. LOL - Not really, I play a few games and just do stuff that ...waste my time.

And about eating the left overs. Don't ask me about it, we have such a routine at home that we're mostly eating food that someone of us cooked 3 or 4 days ago :P. sometimes more than a week. I have no idea how people who eat every meal new cook for themselves. O_O


well,
Thank You for writing this ;). Keep writing.
