I went to Barcelona and had a super time. Not as super as Istanbul but good enough still. Cameron asked me if I could imagine living there and even though it wasn't what I imagined it would be like, I think I could. I guess, that's probably just my forever long fascination with big cities and living that life where you're just another person in the crowd yet independent and strong because how else would you survive it? Also, I know Lahore isn't as big as some of the big cities in the world but I always seem to go back to it for reference because.. I don't know.. I was a kid there and it seemed big and full of character and maybe..maybe its my favourite place in the world? I haven't really thought about it or been to a lot of places to be sure... but its definitely up there, somewhere..
I missed my guy. I mean I always do; but its a different kind of haal when you're having new experiences...[especially in freakin' Europe which may as well be called PDA Central].... and uh.. you know, you haven't got that sexy ass hand to hold and share it with? I saw this one couple just waltzing away at one of the Metro stations, next to a busker who was playing the guitar and singing Stand By Me ...it was so cute! -lesigh-
I like that word, haal.. usually used when you ask someone how they're doing. Kya haal hai. One translation is how are you. Doesn't the word haal feel more than just a passing question, though? Haal, condition. How is your condition. In what condition are you. How is the state of your being....... sometimes, Urdu can be so profound.
Talking of language, Spanish is pretty neat.. I lost count of how many times I said Gracias, the four days I was there... it's now my go to word of gratefulness ^_^
Anyways, I think that's enough waffling for one day.... 'tis time for zee walking zed.
Adios.
