Beautiful Life

Posted on December 12, 2002May 2, 2025 by Shazia Javed

Hey folks,

I promised (once upon a time) that I will tell you about new people in my life. Here comes the details. I have amazing people around me. We have Captain Planet who is trying to do and share goodness. She defines herself as someone who knows better and can make others better. I have decided that I would act like I need a lot of grooming and educational sessions from her. I think it is important to make people feel wanted. If I give her the opportunity to apply the acquired knowledge to make me a better person, she would feel useful and needed.

We have Aishwarya Rai with us. She’s interesting, primarily because she’s an excellent example of how media influences our life. She also tends to use her appearances to change or control the game. My maternal uncle knew her maternal grandfather, and my mother seems to know her parents and the entire architecture of her house. Despite this, I would rather maintain distance for now. If she manages standing equal to the act she puts up, I would consider becoming best friends with her.

We have wanna-be Aniston but with an additional plus of a personality in making. She is intelligent, very hard working, very practical and serious person. However, she tries to demonstrate some sense of humor and behaves like she is all fun. I think her sensibility and practical attitude will make her married life satisfactory, if not a bliss. If you ask me, she deserves all the happiness in this world.

We have trophy wife who has brains but rather focuses on being girly. She thinks she is cool and fun, and tends to judge me which I am gladly going to let her do. After all, she is the one who is depriving herself of an opportunity to get know a (beautiful :P) person. I won’t be surprised if she gets married and takes pride in being a charming house wife and devoted mother. She has the potential and I believe she would be good at it.

We have robin (the bird) among us. I think she is a nice person. She is mature, considerate, friendly, and open. She also seems to come from a family of similar, if not equivalent, stature. I think if I don’t get tied up in teenage drama, we would be great friends.

We also have all-rounder. She was asked to sketch me on the white board on our orientation day, and she did :D! She comes from an educated family with practical yet enlightened mindset. I admire her for her balanced approach toward life and all that comes along with it. She is intelligent, responsible, and wiser than the other girls. She can see things through, and sometimes I feel she understands me.

We have Yoda in the other section who I am friends with. We have friendly parents, quest for knowledge, army background, and deep personalities in common. We have got many layers like onion. I have a feeling that I’ll regret not opening up with Yoda and robin because of all this ensuing teenage drama.

And, how can I forget mentioning the bully in the other section. She is like mohallay ki masi (tell-tale) who keeps an eye on me. I once caught her jotting down my grades in her dairy to brag about how she is doing well and discuss me in my absence. And, people from my section think I am competitive! It’s a pity that so many people think low of her in some ways and talk behind her back despite that she’s a fine person.

There are some guys in my class but I would rather refrain from discussing them. If I’ll discuss them, they’ll discuss me, and I don’t want to be discussion material. I respect myself. I sensed goodness in some of them, and I’ll definitely mention in future how they educate and help me in becoming a better person through their thoughts, gestures, and behaviors.

For now, I am off. I have this horrible coursework to do. Wish me luck! =)

Think beautiful, stay beautiful!
