Okay, just kidding. Really. Great reminder, Waleed, to open up our eyes. I need to do that more often, too. Actually, it reminds me of a couple of incidents from the other day. I'll have to remember to write about it. I'm trying to imagine sitting outside, watching the snow fall. Sounds like an absolutely beautiful experience.

I'll laugh yet Owl! Muhahahaha *cough cough cough* hahaha After spending 30 minutes cleaning up two cars from snow, ice and whatnots, I have decided that it has been a wonderful experience.

I agree with Yasmine, that we all need a reminder to open our eyes, our hearts and minds, to the world around us. i wonder what the life you can almost have is, the one that you re-live each time you walk out.

It's even earlier than expected! Good job, I'm proud of you. :P uhh... I guess I should be commenting on the post, but I forgot it now, after reading everyone's hilarious comments. Owl's in particular. khehehe. but yah. SNOW <i>can be<i> beautiful, and winter is beautiful if you're looking outside your window from INside your nice warm house! hehe jk. It's -50deg C here with the windchill... which in Farenheit follows the formula F=9/5C +32. (don't ask). You do the math. It should be pretty similar though. and while I was shoveling the snow today and cleaning all the cars I thought, yes, alhamdulillah, winter IS beautiful, and somehow the bitter cold and piercing wind wasn't all that bad either, despite the fact that it really was. I guess I was just having a jolly good time out in the snow. I have to move. I must be getting delusional. </i></i> hey phatima, ten minutes isn’t late, that’s standard desi time.
