I get damn angry on following points regardless of the scenarios I am dealing in.

(1) When someone makes fun of my emotions
(2) When someone starts judging me without looking at the complete details
(3) When someone doesn’t agree just to show he/she is right
(4) When someone shows that he/she got me but he/she doesn’t in reality
(5) When someone passes bad remarks about my family
(6) When someone is not being given food because its being saved for high profiles
(7) When I don’t have money in my pocket because of false commitment by some friend
(8 ) When I am supposed to answer because of other’s mistake
(9) When someone doesn’t take me seriously when I am serious for his/her goodness

P.S: I might have missed few points. So extrapolate from these points and be careful of these points while dealing with me

Trade Off

“Its life my friend, sometimes you ought to choose one, we call it trade off”, this is what one of my friend told me when I expressed that I couldn’t attend the offsite planned by my company due to my brother’s marriage. My brother’s marriage was planned on April 18, 2008 at Ghotki city and I was out of office for 11 days (6 working days) on behalf of this. On my last working day before leave, it was announced that we are going to have offsite in Karachi for our department 

It was hell lot of fun being at my brother’s wedding. I was feeling so good to be with the family. I enjoyed seeing all the relatives together after such a long time. I enjoyed, I danced (forced to), I worked and I didn’t sleep for almost 2 days as told in Managing Shadi post below.

Whereas I missed to be with another family, P&G family where they all had very nice time together, having a 3 hours boat ride from Kemari -> Sanspit Beach, stay at beach with lot of fun and jokes along with Bar B Q dinner, dancing, firework, singing, water scooter riding along with unending games (cricket, football, volley ball, fuze ball etc) not forgetting the group discussion on first day. Second day, they had tons of fun activities to do at beach, lunch at pizza hut, adventure at Go Aish (paint ball shooting, hanging on rope and passing above the water etc), gaming at Playdium (gaming zone), dinner at burns road and ending the second day by staying at Marriot Hotel. Third day, they had a training in Marriot and return to home along with two gifts. One was Ipod Nano (4GB) and other one was a packet containing wallet + key chain + card holder.

I made the choice to attend my brother’s wedding, because my brother is marrying for the first and last time whereas offsite is going to happen next year again; I chose to be with family at my native town, I am glad with that, but I do sometimes miss the fun my colleagues had at offsite.

Managing Shadi

Managing a Shadi especially in interior is hell lot of tough job. I experienced this in April 2008. Though I was given very few responsibilities but my father and groom himself took LOT OF RESPONSIBILITIES. One thing which irritated me the most was Absence of Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). There is no SOP for managing the shadi, every one does it as per his/her wish though many things are common but again if we had SOP we might not have worried a lot and could have focused on some other things.

In interior, you are the whole sole responsible for managing the shadi. You yourself have to arrange the place for treat, tent, food stuff, return of stuff, transport for guests, decoration stuff and transport of food to your relatives in near by cities. You have to fulfill the requirements by Pandit, ensure the availability of stuff at right time, follow the traditions, follow the religion for sure.

On the other part, it was wonderful to enjoy the brother’s marriage. Funny chit chat with the family on arrangements, pin pointing cousins to wash the plates, dancing with and without music, getting comments on dressing, taking snaps on funny moments, demand of 5000/= for entry into home for bride & groom. One astonishing moment was when my two brothers picked me up with their single hand, Amazing na

I worked straight for 72 hours by sleeping only 6 hours in between and I am sure my father and groom slept less than me. Thanks to my friends especially Rakesh, Vishal & Jairam who showed up on Shadi day and helped me in arranging the Ring Ceremony of my Sister planned on the same day.

“No matter whatever you do, people are going to find some shortcomings in the marriage arrangements and pin point this after the marriage” told by one of my relative and I had a very clear answer on that “We are trying our best but even that doesn’t satisfy them, Who cares”.

We recently got this blessing of having a marriage lawn in Ghotki but unfortunately that was booked on that day. After this experience, I am planning to open two more marriage lawns in Ghotki to serve the people and earn the money If I faced any issue in getting Australian visa for my Masters . Any one who is interested in investing, I have lot of options like these
