ACT5: The Blue Pill

I am a human. Well thats what i believe. Ever since i was born this has been feeded into my mind. My Parents, My teachers , My friends, The Media and every other thing have pointed me in the same direction
But
What if all of this is wrong!???
What if all of this is fake???
What if i am something else???
There can be million reasons which can advocate the above theories but still i believe i am a human coz there is a filter in my mind that doesn't allow me to think outside the box.

Should i try to find the answer???
Should i trust the signs that prove me a human???
What if they are all crafted by my nemesis???

But you know what i am happy to live like as a human. Even if it is a fake. I feel bad for those who have removed the filter and are doubting their humanity. What if the filter was put to act as a firewall to protect from viruses???

And
i see them wasting precious time exploring the other possibilities but me and them deep down knows that this is one illusion they wont be waking from

ACT4: Game Theory

One of my most favourite past times have always been playing video games (VG). I cant really pinpoint the reason but video games and animation contain something special and have always attracted me. I think its the creativity contained within them. The sense that the thing displaying before me isn't natural always sound and look cool to me. My love for VG and Animation was the major reason for adopting computers as a career.

I remeber playing handheld Video games but it all began with me getting my first console: The Atari 2600. It was awesome times. The eightees. I remember the first time i got an Atari the first match i played was with my Sis. It was Activison Tennis. Though the outcome of the match is vague as my sister claims she won it but i claim i won that encounter. Whenever my father went to Khi or Lhr on a business trip he would bring loads of new Atari games for me. Remember being waked early morning by him. He showed me Jungle Hunt. Man i really miss those days. I had so much fun with those simple 8-bit games. I bet (like every kid of my age playing Atari at that time) that i could beat anyone in the world in Atari games. Two games Riverrade and Joust were thoroughly mastered by me. Joust in particular. Had so much fun playing Joust with my cousin and lil sister during one summer vacation.

I was formally introduced to a computer in early 90's. It was Commodore Amiga. It was such an amazing machine. My Mamu use to have it. Now he lived in a different city and we use to visit our grandparents during Holidays like Eid or summer vacations. I was 007 as my uncle had given me the license to thrill i.e. i could use His computer anytime i want. Remember having so much fun with the Amiga. The game which most fondly comes to mind is Kick Off Extra time. It was a soccer game. Us cousins use to have so much fun playing Kick Off. I remember we had three official tournaments of Kick Off. And guess what Ahem yours truly won all three cups.

At my own home at that time i had a NES. It was graphically advanced than Atari but inferior to Amiga. Yet had so much fun playing Mario and Tecmo Cup Soccer Game. Tecmo Cup soccer game was under its soccer core a role playing game, full of drama. One of the most amazing games i ever played. Remember playing a Konami tank game with my lil sister on the nes. The two tanks have to defend a base and can power up. They can accidently shoot each other as well. That was the life.

Than the next machine which comes to mind is Sega Mega Drive. There are so many memories associated with Sega. Remember renting games for the first time in my life. It was a time when i was too much addicted to games. But Sega had its moments. Like playing Mortal Kombat 2: Unbelievable. My room was crowded with my cousins. Memorable games that comes to mind are Jungle strike and Comix Zone. Comix Zone was a huge hit in our gathering.

Than i got my first PC. Remember playing Jazz Jack Rabbit and WWE Wrestlemania on it. I was really impressed with wrestlemania and will never had the same thrill as i had when i played it. And then shortly after i remember playing great PC games like Red Aalert2 and Undying. But something was missing. I was all alone. No one was there to see me play Half Life or NOLF. These games were so much superior to my old favs but lacked an Audience. Remember playng them alone at my PC. Now-a-days i play the most technically Advanced titles on my X-box 360. But no one is there to admire the thrill of NBA 2k7 or admire the action of GOW.

Yes times have changed. I have all of my dream gaming consoles Xbox-360,PSP and DS but i would give for anything to be teleported some 13 years back and have a crack at my old consoles with my mates.

ACT3: The lizard, another lizard and the Xbox 360

I have never been an avid fan of reptiles. Something about them just doesn't feel right. So i have never felt comfortable around them. Its like Indy use to say "Snakes! Why do there have to be snakes", but i would say the same about reptiles. Hell i have never even liked playing as Reptile in Mortal Kombat (His invisibility move was cool though).

It so happened that yesterday night i was merrily playing forza2 on my Xbox 360. Surprisingly i was doing very good and winning races and earning cash. It was the last lap of a race and i was leading the pack. I was gona go for my last strech when i noticed some movement around Xbox 360. And there it was a baby lizard; officialy making the count of baby lizards to 6 which have been attracted by my 360. The trouble with baby lizards is that they are stupid. They dont know that humans aren't suppose to see you. And they dont know their off limits. Sadly the race had to be abandoned. Sadly there was no foreign help available due to the late hour for disposing the little tyke. I had to sleep with them lurking around (ahhhhhhhhhh). Why cant a chocobo live in my room instead of these reptiles

And so next morning came. And i had a horrific revelation that there were atleast 2 baby lizards. Before coming to office i had a success that i was able to deport one of them from my room (Hope it goes in some place else rather than coming back). I wish these reptiles leave my room. or maybe its me in their room as they were here before me. But still if we could have a truce and they would not get too friendly with my stuff than i may just be able to live with them.

Installed Naruto at my DS (remind me of beat-em-ups on Sega Genesis and SNES): B+

Gona start watching Grey's Anatomy from today. Only watching the soap because of Katherine Heigl: A

Start watching Devil May Cry Anime based on the Capcom game of the same name: B

ACT2: MY SUNDAY FUNDAY

Its Sunday: A+

i woke up. Its 7 am. Why have i woken up??? oh i have to go to the office : A

I was to ne picked form my Hostel by one of my staff driver. However, he preffered to ditch me and i had to come by Taxi: B-

The staff guy who looks after the office is not here and this means i can't get into the building. By a twist of fate we talk on the phone and he assures that he will be here in 20 mins. Nothing to do but stand outside the office: C

Is it just me or have i really been standing outside the office for over an hour now. Suddenly the strap of my laptop comes lose. It would not have been an issue but in catering for it i drop my PSP pretty badly on the road(Nooooooooooo): E

And the guy finally shows up and i dont even shake his outstreched hand (thats real bad) coz dropping my psp has made my day: F

Well definitly uptill now my day deserves a ranking even below F. Than i thought maybe it was wrong of me not to shake the hand of my office staff. I checked my PSP and although all of its corners have been scratched but its screen is A-ok. I can live with that:D

After an hour i met the guy and told him its ok if he came late but he should be more careful in future. I shake his hand: B

I did my office work and it went pretty well: A

7:00 PM time to head back to my room. As i was going back the sun was setting and so with it my Sunday Funday.

ACT1: Uncertaininty

I was thinking about the uncertainity in life. I have always made plans based on asumptions about certain things. And honestly i am never sure whether those assumptions are ture or not. But still whenever i plan to achieve something out of the ordinary, it is based on assumptions. If A than B, and if B than C. Yet I keep waiting for C to happen but A never happens and if it does B never shows up. The downside is that in the end i feel bad in not getting C But life has taught me one thing that whenever C happens it's worth everything. So thats the beauty of life: the uncertainity and the choices it gives you. Somehow i always pick the risky choice maybe because i am a little greedy :) and also maybe i dont mind standing up if i fall down.

The summer is really in its full bloom these days. The Sun is shinning like never before. And its too hot. I wish it rains soon but not on Saturday or if it rains on Saturday than not on Sunday as i have to do the laundry.

Someone i know is going on a two weeks vacation. I hope its just a simple summer vacation. Again i am hoping something and thats life for you, uncertain as ever. Result: After two weeks

My cousin is not coming to visit me this summer: Thumbs down. She would have really loved my Nintendo DS. That kid is a huge Mario fan.

I am downloading a movie "To have and have not". But i think it would not be finished until next week. I really wanna see this movie.

I havent read a good book in ages. Note to self: Visit Saeed Books this friday

Presentation on Thursday is cancelled. It means that the shirt which i ironed for atleast an hour this sunday will not be required tomorrow. Thats cruel and unfair

Cavaliers lost the game to Spurs (Ahem for the third straight time). But boy was it close. I wish Lebron would have hit the last three pointer :(
