One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

As the second week of July begins, I've begun to accept the inevitable reality of my life. A reality that was pretty easy to compartmentalize for over fours years, and has become one of the longest runnings jokes amongst everyone who knows me... The answer to the question, When are you getting married? To be honest, I still don't know for sure. Though I think its been narrowed down to the next three months... While my life has come crashing down to a stand still, my entire class has since pretty much moved on... From marriages to work projects, further studies and a few lucky ones have begun their careers as well.. What do I have to show for the past two months since graduation? A name tag from Zenith, a few more pounds of fat gained and a smattering of shattered dreams.. (I'm looking at you Girls Futsal Team!) The last academic year for me was the greatest by far, I've never been much of an extra ciricular kind of a person, but this year I first got to make a documentary about Javed Iqbal with fellow blogger Sidrat Asim and Saad Halim... It taught me a lot about myself and my friends...mostly the fact that creators are unobjectively (I hope that's a word) possessive of their work...and criticism is hard to get used to...But like Verona said "Don't let anyone make you feel like you don't deserve what you want" I still do date am extremly proud of what we accomplished..even if the judges failed to see it...
Secondly I got to make an advertisement for an inter university competition held at IBA...as students of business administration we're not expected to be creative art directors, but to be able to showcase our talents and ability to understand and manage brands...well that's part of it, but more important was the fact that I got to do it with my closest friends...we had a blast doing it..and winning second prize was probably the icing on the cake...we've all since moved on...but I can only hope that when and if we do meet up...I want to be able to recapture those times we had...
I know that only the rare lucky ones get to keep their school/university friends for life..so for all of you who've stayed in touch..I love you and for all of those who tried but failed...I'm sorry, I should've been a better friend...for the rest fo us..let's hope we're the rare lucky ones... :)
