Seventh Moment

During my sixth grade I fell extremely ill and was admitted to the hospital. Doctor’s tried all sort of test on me just to figure out what was wrong with me but it was all in vein. The illness was on and off for six to eight consecutive months and I was constantly visiting doctors one after another. But no Medication would work on me.

With all that sickness my mood was getting nasty and I used to avoid people and on the other hand my mother being a Mother started getting really worried about me. She took me to all the famous doctors in the city but I was still sick. Whenever any of the relative comes to ask after my health they would tell her about a doctor they heard was very good and she would take me to that doctor and it would still do no good.

With me being sick for almost six months somebody suggested my mom that it looks like your son is being possessed by some evil spirits so you should take him to Peer Sahab ( Religious guy who takes out evil spirit and almost all of them are fake and are just trying to make easy money).

My mom is an educated women and she didn’t believe in such things but when doctor’s medication didn’t help. She asked me to go with her to the Peer Sahab. I was already being a stubborn and annoyed kid, I immediately said that there is no way I would go over there and that how can you think of such things. Me denying it and so forcefully stating my claim that no matter what happens I wont go there made her believe that I might really be possessed by a spirit.

Well my mom tried different methods to make me go, by asking me that she would buy gifts for me if I go or something delicious to eat. But I stick to my words that there is no way I am going to any place like that. As my health was constantly getting worst. I one day found that Peer Sahab has come to my place to take the evil spirit away from me.

I was always stubborn kinda guy but my mom has taught rather beaten manners in me from very young age to respect the elders, so I could not say to the old guy that go away I don’t wanna see you here. Well Peer Sahab began the process to try to chase away the evil spirit possessing me. He drew a circle on the floor with a chalk and asked me to sit in it. I complied to the order. once I sat in that drawn circle he started asking me

Why are you possessing this child, Where are you from, why have you chosen him, go away or I will make you suffer

I was like dude, hey its really me. I have all my senses intact and what the hell are you asking about. I don’t know what to answer you. But he kept on..

I know that you are using this boy’s body as a vessel but I wont allow you to do that. Be gone from here Be gone

Well after asking that and without any answers, he recited some verses from the Quran, he finished the process and left. I was so dumbfounded that what the hell just happened. I was in my senses all the time and he just kept asking question and suddenly just left. My mom and brother standing in the room were also surprised about what the hell was that. After that day luckily I never saw that guy’s face again as I would have punched him in the face if I would have seen him for saying that I was possessed. But this exorcism or whatever it was didn’t help my health even a little bit rather it got worst.

After few months I was admitted in the hospital and after one week in intensive care I was released as a healthy child. After a few years I heard from my mom that, the Peer Sahab claimed that your son was possessed by an witch evil spirit (come on guys a witch possessing me) and that she was in love with me (now that just something which wont even happen in movies). And that if the evil spirit was not chased away quickly my life might be in danger (Hey its been more then 12 years and I am still alive). He claimed that if he was paid some money (which was pretty huge sum) he will make necessary SADQA (charity) (giving something to the poor in the name of GOD), a little exorcism and I will be as healthy as ever.

But as nothing of that worked and my health still remained worst. My mom learned that it was all a scam and these people were just in for the money and nothing else. And thankfully my mother immediately made up her mind rather then taking me to another authentic Peer Sahab. And I am glad to this day that she made such a wise decision or who knows what I might have gone through if I had visited different Peer Sahab just like I visited doctors. I know what my mom did was in desperation to see me good and healthy. But mom seriously never ever listen to what people says. They just love to give suggestion without thinking too much.

And yes to this day there is no evil spirit possessing me and neither a witch is in love with me. I am a single straight guy in search of a nice girl and yes I plan to live for a long long time

Sixth Moment

ASSALAM-O-ALAIKUM, (Muslims Greeting)

Respected class your opinion is required in order to spot the alien invader in the class. Here are your options

FAHAD (That’s ME)
A girl from the class (who started it all)

kindly write the name of the person whom you think is the alien invader and vote him out

rules are:

–>no comments only name
–> I have the veto right reserved with me:)

________________________________________________________________

As you all might have realized so far I was the victim of a conspiracy by the girls in my class. Well I know I am sheer Awesomeness and people are not able to cope with the fact that its real. In order to distract people from my awesome personality a girl in my class started it all. Well she herself was something completely unique and everyone in the class used to think that she was an Alien or something with her brains and all (well she was the silver medalist of our class at the end and was voted as the Nerd by the class in 2008). And yes everyone used to call her Alien all the time just to annoy her. I on the other hand was famous in the class for some other reasons. As I still hold the title of CLASS FREAK since 2008.

So, she thought it was all easy to dumped the title of Alien as well on me and she started this thread on the class facebook page. Well as there was a great amount of time spend in planning this onslaught towards me. As soon as the thread was open almost all the girls in the class who had a facebook account immediately casted their votes for me, naming me as an Alien (come on people can you really believe that; me an Alien).

As the dead line was set for two days time. I had the opportunity to voice my opinion and I asked my friends. God bless the guys in my class who immediately responded. Well they all already knew that she was the True alien and that there was no use arguing about it but this platform could actually prove it to everyone beyond doubt. So it was like anyone who favored her and thought I was an Alien voted for me. And everyone who was fair and thought her as an Alien voted for her.

At the end of the first day I was losing by two votes as my friends being guy couldn’t help their laziness and were unable to vote that day. And girls being girl always ready to do something to undermine somebody had already casted their votes. But as the deadline approached near the guys came out on top and voted for HER as being the true Alien. And I won the voting by the very small margin of just one vote. Seven of the votes casted were stating her being an Alien and Six votes were casted stating ME as an Alien.

Well it was a TRUE FACT. She really was an ALIEN, but everyone knows girls they cant admit their loss. So they took it completely differently and named the voting as Biased and unfair. Even though no girl voted her as an alien, while there was a guy who actually voted as me being an alien. So obviously the elections were fair and completely unbiased.

But from that day on everybody in the class knew who the true Alien was. And I was saved because of my awesomeness and my friends help.

To sum it all up I would like to share a comment made by my friend from the original thread.

All da chicks voted 4 fahad thts funny
hahahaha
hey girl make 1 4 me 2
woohoo

Fifth Moment

As you people might have already figured out that I am one Crazy guy who likes to take on stupid challenges just because he is being pumped by his friends and also a show off who won’t miss an opportunity to prove that He is good at something. Well this moment is about one of those times when I found an opportunity to show off in front of my friends and that went horribly wrong.

It was during my first year at college and we were having our final examinations. Those of you who are unaware of the education system in my country. The first year in college is equivalent to 11th Grade and the examinations are held on yearly basis. And if you fail the final exam, it means you have to repeat the year.

It was our Math’s exam that day. The exam was to start at around noon, so we friends decided to do a joint revision session in the early morning at a friends place and to go to the examination center together afterward. So we studied our brains out while eating PARATHAS with Tea. Once we were stuffed we decided enough studying, we did what we could, let Allah take care the rest and obviously some help from people sitting around during the exam.

We left the friend’s place and started walking towards the Main Road to hire a RICKSHAW to take us to our destination. The street leading to the Main road had a patch covered in sewerage water. So my friends went to the very side of the street in order to stay clean of the sewerage water. I on the other hand thought hey its only a small piece I can jump over it easily.

When I told my thoughts to my friends they immediately said that its not possible you are acting crazy but I was so confident and sure (well i was tallest among them at that time) that I didn’t listen to their voice and decided to go with my own plan. Another moment of madness. I took few steps back and ran towards the water and Jumped. As I jumped I realized the distance really was great and I was never gonna be able to make it. I came down in the sewerage water with a thump. The water flew around me, taking me in an embrace. Also some of the water went towards my friends.

It all happened very fast and when I saw myself I was half covered in the sewerage water and some of the water also somewhat ruined one of my friend clothes. And everyone was looking at me wild eyes, while I was trying to hide my embarrassment. As we were short on time and couldn’t go back for me to change clothes.  We found a tap in a workshop at the corner of the street. I watered my clothes and washed them to the best of my ability. My friend cursing me did the same and we went to the examination center. The paper went really well but I had to sit through the whole exam in those stinky and wet clothes. As the exam ended I rushed towards the home and took a shower immediately as I couldn’t bare the smell. And yes my friend had to suffer that smell for many hours but they were polite enough to keep their jokes in till the end of exams

Fourth Moment

It was just another Normal day with us sleeping during the classes and as the classes ended we went to play some football on the ground at the back of our department. It was a hot day and we were playing the game in the best way we knew. Which consist of less playing and more bickering and fighting among each other. Slang’s were pretty common on a wrong pass and missed chances. I was playing at the midfield position (I play the game because I love it not because I am very good at it. And well they allow me to play because they are always men short)

As the game progressed, we were all tired with heavy breaths and clothes damp with sweat. Somebody kicked the ball in the air and well I acting all brave rushed after it, to head the ball. Wasif was playing as a defender for the opposing team. He Also jumped to head the ball. Well what happened next I have no idea as I KNOCKED OUT after a collision with Wasif and falling badly on my head.

So when I got my senses back after a few minutes of sleep. I saw I was being stretched on the ground with all my friends gathered around me. I had no idea what just happened as the last thing I remembered was jumping to head the ball. After seeing me awake all my friends felt a relief. And after a little while when they were sure I am sane afterall, they told me different stories of what happened during the time I was passed out. Most of them came from a friend. Here is the highlights of them.

According to my friend when I passed out he rushed to my side and the first thing he noticed was that i was blabbing some name when he got nearer he heard that i was constantly repeating the name Alia. After that everyone realized that I was knocked out and everyone on the field decided to try their own methods to wake me up.

First they tried sniffing me a shoe, hoping that i might wake up after smelling it. Not sure whose shoe was it and well it was not terrible enough to wake me up.

There is a very small water stream which runs along the ground, which helps to keep all the grounds watered. So Secondly, they tried to get water from it in the cup of their hands but as they reached to me the water in their hands fell and all they could do was to shower some drops on my face left on their hands.

Some tried to Hit me awake and everyone knows that it never works. But I think they must have thought he we wont get this opportunity again so why not give it a try.

One friend went ahead of them all and actually tried CPR. (Thanks to Allah i was knocked out and didnt remember any of it. or else I wouldnt have been able to live) And yes I am straight.

During all that time one of my friend was sitting beside me like an old lady crying and yelling in a Girlyyy voice :

FAHADDDDDDDDDDDDD how did this happen to you, you were so young.

Well it was only a couple of minutes and I woke up. Somebody went to cafe during that time to get some juice for me. When he got back the juice was given to the guy crying in girly voice since he needed it more.

After a few hours later I was being interrogated for the most important thing of the day. Who the hell is this Alia. Must be your lost love since you were talking about even in unconsciousness. And well I had no idea who this girl is and I have high doubts that this Alia conspiracy was all an Evil scheme set by my friend who claimed that I was saying this name over and over again. But well as it was a norm not to hear what I have to say, I decided it is better to play along with it. And I admitted that yes I have a girlfriend (Imaginary)  named Alia and yes I love her to death and we are in LOVE for few years now.

And so from that day onwards I had a girlfriend (My first ever) named Alia and everything I did or didn’t do was only because I was busy with ALIA  . I told my love stories to the girls in class and what kind of gifts I shared with her. They were always curious how things were going on between me and her.  (Allah bless those romantic movies to come up with new ideas).

And yes even today some of my female class fellow thinks that there really is an Alia and I have some affair going on with her which will surely end up in Marriage.

Third Moment

Well I am sure that all of you who have studied even once in their lives must be aware of that ONE Stinky Teacher, who just wont share the study material with you and make you suffer. Well in our University days we had a teacher(Professor in our case) like that. He was not only teaching us but he was also the DEAN & DIRECTOR of our Department in the University.

Well i would be honest with you guys, He really was a nice person and really cared for us. He would always help people out whenever they are in trouble and would even take Students side whenever there was some trouble with management. But as a student well we always felt that we needed those slides, not that we actually needed them.

So one day at the end of the class our Professor forgot to signed out from his computer and left the class. And since he didn’t signed out it means that anyone could access those files and copies them. At that time most of the class was emptied, I was as usual lazy getting my stuff together and there were few other students in the class.

Well, so when we noticed that the Professor forgot to sign out from his account. One of my class mate decided to copied the data. Well I didn’t copied it but I won’t deny that i really did encourage him to do so (yeah well i thought it would help, Evil ME). Once, he copied the data he signed out from the PC and we went back to our routine.

After an hour or so, I was lazying around in the Cafe with some friends that I received  a call from the Director office that I should show up immediately. Untill that time I had completely forgotten about the incident. So I went in the office and the P.A. to the Director asked me if I have a USB with me. During those days I used to carry an IPOD with me, as it would work as a Song player in booring times and also as a data traveler when needed. As it was always with me, I hardly remember the data I have stored in it previously. And a friend borrowed it from me few days back and just returned it on that day. Well I took it out and gave it to the P.A. and he asked me to get it back after few hours.

When I came out of the office I realized, ohh it was about that incident. Somebody must have told the Professor. Well since I didn’t copied any stuff in it so it was not much of worrying thing to me.

When I get back to cafe and I told my friends what just happened. During the discussion I absently said that I honestly have no idea what kind of stuff is stored in the Ipod, especially I got it back just today. So I dont know what they might find when they go through all that rubbish.  Well my friends translated this statement as

“I  have inappropriate or not suitable for all age Material in the Ipod”

Seriously, Its not like I keep that kind of stuff or I asked that friend of mine for weird stuff. But when a group of people decides to think without their heads, imaginations can run real Wild and the same happened in this case with no one listening to my voice. Well ever since that day my USB(Ipod) became the most popular subject of discussion in the University for all the wrong reasons. And well it’s not that I hated my Ipod getting all the attention but hey come on the reasons should be nice.

Well I got my Ipod back the next day. As far as I am sure there was no such stuff in my Ipod when I checked it later that day. Neither did the P.A. to the Director said anything about the stuff in the Ipod. So it should have ended it with that. But when Rumors fly well they don’t die easily and in my case they didn’t die till the end of the university days.

As for that incident well no one was blamed for it. We were embarrassed by the Professor for our unprofessional behavior. As for the data which the guy took, well apart from him no one ever saw what it was. Well we didn’t care about it that much, since it was just curiosity not that we actually needed it.

Second Moment

It was a time when I was a student at University. All of the class was gathered in cafeteria and it was bustling with the noise from so many students. We were celebrating the Birthday of a friend. Once the cutting of the cake ceremony was done and every one was done eating the cake. A few of my friends decided we should do a DARE.

Everyone had Coke for the drink with cake and pizzas. When you Drink coke normally some of it is left at very bottom of the bottle. So one of my friend collected all the bottles and put that tiny bit of coke from all the bottles in to one single bottle. And just for some taste added some Cake in it as well. So the mixture became something completely new.

The DARE was to drink the mixture in one go. Well in the beginning nobody came forward as everybody was reluctant of drinking it. So the ones who thought of the DARE decided to make it a little more interesting by adding some prize to it. So they talked a girl from the class into it and it was decided that anyone who will drink this mixture will win her wallet with all the money in it.

As i am kinda show off guy and likes to take on challenges, I was being encouraged by my class fellows to take up the challenge but i was reluctant since the drink look nasty. But when I heard that there is also some money to be won and a wallet as well. I thought to myself that it was too good of an opportunity to be left alone. So I took up the challenge with all my class encouraging me and drank it all in one go. The mixture was about 100ml and it was one of the worst thing I ever drank in my life. It tasted like I was drinking spit from several people at the same time. And seriously I just turned it all in my stomach without thinking too much in order to make sure I don’t puke. And once I got my hands on the prize money, I bought Coke immediately to kill that taste and well some more coke for the rest of the class with the money won. As I had no interest in the money from the beginning, it was the winning which matters to me most. But yeah that wallet is still with me even today, not really sure what to do with it.

It was surely a laugh for the moment, but later on I had thoughts that I really should have better control on myself and shouldn’t have acted on the spur of the moment. But hey I don’t regret doing it, since its one of those moments of my life which I will cherish in the days to come.

First Moment

It was a time when i was a teenager, maybe 16 or 17 years old with full of youth passion, arrogance and hot blood. I was madly in love with the sport cricket and used to spend all my free time (anytime i got apart from college) playing it.

During those days, my exams were going on and as a carefree teenager i was just focused on playing and not studying. My big brother worried that i might fail the exams if i continued on like this. So he asked a friend of his, who was also the captain of my cricket team, not  to allow me to play during my exams.

On that day, i went to the ground after coming back from the college to play and my brother’s friend told me that I was not in the team and to go home and study for the exams. And that I should come back once I am done with them. I suddenly felt so angry and furious that I started cursing him and started saying:

“That my brother has no right over me. I will live my life my own way. He ain’t my dad to go on and putting restrictions on me. I hate him for doing this…..”

well i kept on venting my anger for awhile and everyone was dumbfounded. After venting my anger out, I came back home and didn’t talked with my brother for a long time.

After that day until today, I have always remembered that day and i have always hated myself for acting that way. I know very well that my big brother love me just like my dad and that he cares for me as much.

So I want to use this forum to apologize to my Brother. If you are reading this brother, I am very sorry for what i said and did. I was young and I was a fool. So please forgive me. Also Ali bhai (my brother friend) please forgive me for my behavior on that day. I am as ashamed and sad for my behavior towards you too.
