Sorry. Run out of titles. Again. =\

Weekend. Finally. Thank you, Lord.
But I won't get to enjoy the weekend as much as I'd like to, because Uncle End-of-Year-Tests is just round the corner. I'm worried sick. But it's not like my being worried sick is having an effect on my internet-ing habits. I'm still on Facebook/ (isn't it time MS Word/ Blogger/ everything else stopped trying to tell me 'Facebook' isn't a word?) Blogger/ MSN/ whatnot every moment of my free time. Well. This would have to change, obviously. I'd die of guilt and shame if I score less than I what I hope to in Uncle End-of-Year-Tests. *shudders*

I signed in to Blogger today to find the Pakistani blogosphere abuzz because of the ban on Facebook. And YouTube and Flickr too, apparently. Found very interesting pieces like this one here. Many people who blogged about the issue have a fair point. Why not ban only the blasphemous content, why the whole sites? They banned YouTube, Facebook and Wikipedia. Why are they oblivious to the fact that the sites provide loads of positive stuff too? There's stuff against Islam, and the teachings of Islam all over the internet. So why not make the internet inaccessible in the country? It's beyond most of us why the LHC took this decision. I wholeheartedly condemn the page that was the cause of this ban, but we should have shown our opposition in more practical ways than violence and banning a handful of (useful) sites.

-Abrupt change of topic-

When I first came to the UAE, I remember someone saying that a fine of as much as 100K Dirhams is payable by anyone who killed a camel, intentionally or otherwise. I thought this law was a bit weird. How could anyone kill a camel? I imagined a road in the middle of the desert, with a car, the driver of which is not aware of a camel crossing the road... when he does become aware of the fact, he rams his feet hard on the brake, the car comes to a screeching halt, and the poor camel is lying on the road, injured, of course. :p

This was a scene I had thought I was very, very unlikely to witness. But witness it I did. And at a time when I had been least expecting to. The scene was similar to what I had imagined, except that no one got hurt
We were on our way home from school. Had missed a turn or something, and were God-knows where.Ours was pretty much the only car on the slim road in the middle of the desert. The speed was 80km/h. Until we saw the ship-of-the-desert crossing the road, that is. We slowed down, and waited patiently for the majestic (to me, at least. Don't know about anyone else) creature to cross. Little bro, however, was not very patient, and made it apparent by saying, 'Ab jaldi kar lain road cross, your majesty.' Lol. And I cursed myself repeatedly for not having a camera on me. That was something you didn't get to see everyday. -_-

-Abrupt end of post. Bye.-
