I was in Jinnah the other evening and there was this man going around with a board in his hand and - did my eyes decieve me - a little yellow chick hopping on it like mad. Quite a head-turner, the sight. Upon my second glance, I realized that it was actually a toy chick. (It took a second glance for me to realize this, yes - such is the wishful thinking of a child with an overactive imagination stuck in a 22-year-old’s body.)

Siraj market, commonly known as Covered Market, in G-6 is no more. A unique and exciting place aboding small art galleries, haven to picture framing in Islamabad, grocery shopping and a few handicraft shops. One of the oldest markets that cater to artistic minds needful is eliminated now, after much hue and cry, to build a Shopping Complex.
Covered Market Before and Now …
Though it was not as huge and classy as Oxford’s Covered Market, nevertheless islooites treasured the idea of this market. Always flooded with gorasfor a peek into paintings and sketches, largely on display, in the various art shops.
I always loved visiting it … where will I go for picture framing now :-\ I wonder if the shops are replaced at some suitable place too??
Yes ladies … Ehsan Chappal Store aka ECS is at last in Islamabad. For first three days, they are giving 10% off … (1 day is left now).
It’s located in F-10 Markaz, on the main double road … in the plaza next to Bakewell.
If you are tired of metro, stiletto, and stylo then go for it … I’m at least happy :-)
No Shoe problems now …!

Pakistanis are one heck of a bunch who can be easily titled as Cricket Crazies … even suicide attackers choose days when Match is off (OK a bad joke - I know I Know) …!
Well in evening I went off for some shopping to the famous Baara markets flourishing in Islamabad’s shopping areas … and interestingly half of Khan saabs were saying today because of match - business is almost NIL and half of them were so engrossed in matches that they were not even interested in showing clothes to us … so we bid farewell to markets coming back for Afridid’s quick Sixers :-)
No matter what happens … we are ONE STRONG NATION with EMOTIONAL Ups and Downs when it comes to CRICKET … WE ARE PRAYING BOYZ ….!
Score update at the moment : 183/7 …!

When winter arrives in Islamabad, the cravings for nuts start right away … But with every passing year the prices of dry fruits are going high and high - almost beyond the reach of a common Pakistani.
The dry fruits specially loved by us, the Pakistanis, are pine nuts [chalghoza] , peanuts [Mongh Phalli], Walnuts [Akhrot], Almonds [Badaam] Amlok and few of us (like ME) love dried apricots as well … This year you can get pine nuts per kg at a cost of round about Rs. 1000-1200 … I don’t like them anyways … so best of luck to everyone who likes them :>
