Pregnancy gowns in vogue

Fashion has made almost every woman pregnant these days!!! Sounds weird??  Visit the shopping malls and other public places of Lahore, and you will get to see almost every woman dressed up in loose trousers and baggy style frocks. In the very first appearance look five months pregnant at least because of the cuts.  Lucky those who actually need pregnancy gowns. Thanks God it’s just the outfits that are in vogue, not pregnancy.  Everyone’s gone crazy except those who are 50 plus and can’t get pregnant anymore. Anything that is not of your size and shape is in. Today’s best brand is “The Deshapers” and today’s free advice is just stop exerting to shed off , no need watching calories, rushing for gym or morn walks. Instead of losing, get a loose outfit and hide everything behind.  Afterwards, blame the fashion! This is what we call “Practical Wisdom”.
Well let’s see if it takes nine months or even more to bring back the women in shape.  And hope Lahore’s population doesn’t grow unmanageable because of the expected fashion off springs.  

Clock slaves

Tick tock tick…….. Who’s moving? Clock needles or I! The time piece on my shelf though an unnoticed and quiet presence, but seems to have attained a rulers place in my life. At times it makes me think that I almost obey it as if it were some godly figure.  Six o’ clock, and I am off my bed. No time to think or argue as to why???  Cuz there is no option but to say “yes” to this Ultimate Boss alarm call. From now on, the clock needles shall move slowly but will keep me on my toes, spinning like a spindle the whole day long, meeting all the work deadlines, achieving various milestones pre scheduled and planning for more.  Making new things to do list when previous is done.  What a mess is this TIME MANAGEMENT issue. I think I am managing time but in fact Time manages to drive me mad. And when I feel like holding my over fatigued poor little head in my hands, this time piece smiles subtly on me as if it were happy to enslave me. Watches were invented to watch time on, but ironically enough they seem to watch our lives and rule us. Admit it or not, but we have become “Clock Slaves”
