Updates and some snaps

I’ve been meaning to write something for more than two weeks now. Not that I don’t have time. I do. But my mind seems to be switched off. Guess the block continues.

Instead I have changed my blog template. Spent the last hour fine tuning it to make it look presentable. And now back to the “Add New Post” screen.

My sister tells me, rather publicly, that it is a mental block and happens if you have too many things on your mind. Not sure if that’s the case. Yes, I have a few things on my mind but none that I cannot take care off. I think my mind is on snooze. Surely it will wake up one day. Some day.

For now, let me continue with my gibberish. Please bear with me.

Got a few updates. I will be a ‘forced’ bachelor from tomorrow. The wife and kiddo are leaving for India and will be away for 2-3 weeks. So expect a few mushy posts soon. I hate it when my wife goes away. Things come to a stand still. As if the mind was not enough. Now life. I am already beginning to miss her. Did I mention I hate it when my wife goes away?!

Work has gotten much better since that dreaded sales review with the management in Jan. Looks like the team will pull through.

I still need to lose weight. Who doesn’t. So let it remain that way.

IPL has started. So some respite.

This post sounds so depressing. I need to pep it up. Or most of you folks will unsubscribe my feeds!

Ibrahim has ensured that life remains a rollercoaster ride. Posting a few pics of the little one here.

I am going to miss him.

Edited to add: I took this snap today morning at the airport just before he boarded the flight. Loved it so posting it right away. His tshirt reads “COULD I BE ANY COOLER?” 🙂

Re-edited: Taking off all the pics now. More later. Cheers.

  1. why is the first pic not clear.. hmphh.
    a lot of regular bloggers are very quite these days, good you posted something at least.we have gotten used to ur mushfull(even if thats no word) posts so u can go on…

      1. ok clicking on it works.. i loved all of them.. the red teddy or heard?? ha ha we saw it in al ain mall n laughed over it.. dont tell me u bought it 😀 i need to show this to amit…
        bhagooooooo

        1. No, we didn’t buy that teddy. I kept it there so that he can rest his head. Didn’t realize he’d fall asleep. It’s a very cute snap.

  2. his hair cut is cute 🙂 🙂
    Its first time i think u put ibrahim’s pics….I just keep on staring them for long time 🙂
    he is really sweet…I luv the pic in suitcase and the last one too 🙂

    1. Yeah, and that’s why we haven’t modified it much. It is kinda unique.
      I know. Had put up a pic nearly 7-8 months back when I took up a tag. But took it off. This time I decided not to resist the temptation 🙂

  3. Ok !!! Got the point. You are missing your wife. Are you worried abt cooking your own food ???? LOL !!! 🙂

    Like the template – neat and crisp !!! I like such templates without much frills !!! 🙂

    Now, to the part, where you really pepped up your post – Fantastic boy, Ibbu !!!! He is quite tall – I think he looks a lot like you !!! Am I right ?????

    Adorable while sleeping in the trolley !!!! So cute – out of the suitcase – you got him parcelled from God !!!!

    You guessed right – if you hadnt put up these photos, I would have unsubscribed you from my reader !!!! 😉

    1. Haha cooking my own food is alright. There is more to be worried about 😀

      Yes, he looks a bit like me. And tall he must be I guess. Me a 6 footer.

      Parceled from God – Absolutely. He is a blessing 🙂

  4. LOL!
    u publicly declared having a networking block and i publicly corrected it to be a mental block! 😛 alls fair.

    i think u must be really proud of tht pic in which hes holding a cricket bat!! like father like son! in so many ways!!! 🙂

    hes an absolute bundle of joy and shararat! me’s gonna miss him too!! 😦

    1. hehe. well, I just had to take a dig at it. TP :p

      Oh yes, and that’s why I’ve posted that pic here. Want the world to see a budding cricketer 🙂

      Me will miss him too 😦

  5. ha ha ha..very sweet…he seemed very excited to go to India…packing himself up in that bag 🙂 and the last one is supperrr cute! lovely. thanks for sharing ur family pics. nice 🙂

    1. Thanks Maria. If only he realized he was going away from me, I am sure he won’t be all that excited. He is pretty attached to me but not as much as I am to him. Anyways, he’s got a sooper excited bunch of people waiting for him back in India. So no complaints 🙂

  6. awwww those pics are precious and I love the way he is blissfully sleeping in the trolley with his toys

    kala tikka

    and yeah we can see u are missing her a lot 😉

  7. wifes going away ???? arey, these are rare situations; make full use of it ! 😀 😀 😀 😀

    this is the first time Im seeing your kid, smart fella and hes got a cute hair cut ! 🙂

    Btw, with that laptop, has he started blogging already ?? 😉

    1. What? You an expert on that already? Comon dude. Its been hardly a month since you got married! 😀

      Yep, I haven’t posted his pics too much on the blog. Decided to give in this time 🙂

      haha. Blogging, no yet? But crashing laptops, totally!

  8. Mashallah Adeel junior in the making. He is so adorable. Allah blessed him with such a wonderful family to look after.

  9. Finally … u got arnd to sharing his pics. Glad we r able to see them now 🙂
    Hope the missing phase gets over soon.

  10. He’s got this lovely mischievous look the most of the pics.. 🙂
    2-3 weeks haan…she’s planned it to coincide with the IPL. She loves you 🙂

    1. Oh, trust me, this is nothing. In most of these pics, he is actually posing. You should see when he is onto something mischievous. That’s really priceless. So far, I’ve not been able to capture too many pics of that look. But I will, someday 🙂

      1. @ “she loves me”, yep, I know she loves me but she could have shown that while she’s around. You don’t need to go away to prove that. Oh well, distance makes the heart grow fonder…bla bla. 🙂

  11. haha..i thot i was the only soul…having too many things goin on in my mind 😉

    Well frst time saw Ibrahim and he is shuch a shweetie..cutie pie ..Masha-allah!!!

    And yes we won’t unsubscribe …at alll…we are loyal blog-folks 🙂

    1. no way. infact every other day I see a facebook update of someone complaining that he/she has too much on his/her mind. so we are not alone!

      thanks. he left for india this morning. so gonna miss him loads.

      that’s reassuring. means I can write some more meaningless posts!!! 😀

  12. Now we know what kind of posts to expect from you for next few weeks 🙂 🙂 🙂

    These pictures of Ibrahim are adorable! My favorites are where he has fallen asleep, and the one in the suitcase and of course he can’t get any cooler than these 😆 😆 😆
    And the size of that bat!!! 🙂

    1. Hehe..well you know me well enough to figure that out 🙂

      Thanks IHM. And yep, that bat was bigger than him and yet he insisted on playing with it instead of this plastic bat. I’m telling you, he is a born cricketer.

  13. oh no ibrahim you cudnt.. u are on the highest rung of coolness… glad ur dad realised that n bought u that shirt! 🙂

    masood, when the wife n kid go away, u use that time to un-block the block and get some posts written down..seriously… no??
    “I still need to lose weight. Who doesn’t. So let it remain that way.” haahahaa… the logic there is priceless!i think we shud all subscribe to it.. may be u cud reduce the weight and give the wifey a great surprise when she comes back?
    ever since they began IPL, i gave up cricket.. actually i was never that into cricket.. but with IPL i practically hate it… so no, im not gonna be watching any cricket this season.. oh wait, but cricket no longer has a season!! they play it ALL the year round!!!!

    1. Absolutely Mandira! 🙂

      Well, normally they are the inspiration behind my posts. So without them, its hard to imagine any more meaningful posts coming out. Btw, I just posted 😉

      Yeah, that’s what I have planned. Let’s see how far I go about it.

      I agree. I am not an IPL fanatic. But atleast it ensures that I am not too bored. If nothing else comes on TV, I can switch to SetMax and rest assured.

  14. Yeah, agree with Vimmuuu! These are rare moments. Have fun dude or is this post just to ensure her that you’ll miss her 😛

    Such a cute guy your son is. Wonder where he got his good looks from

  15. ASWK Masood
    Those are some cool pics, he is so cute Mashallah…..I am sure you will miss Iram but with IPL around I am sure your evenings will breeze off and she will be back and she will love you more for letting her spend such special time with the family…..(speaking with experience Masood, you have to believe me)

    Hey thanks for your message on my blog, means a lot.

    Take Care
