Upper Kachora, Skardu, Baltistan (Northern Area of Pakistan)

Finally, I’m leaving for Islamabad in 22 hours.. i:e 7:00 in the morning tomorrow. From there we will hopefully be going to Gilgit side. This is for the first time I’m going there.. and I hope it will gonna be a great tour! Due to shortage of time i can’t write much.. so.. Bye 🙂 wish me good luck!

For more than a month period i got busy in shifting home… that not only caused me project delays, i was even not able to read and reply to emails. Now finally i’m 90% set here, just got the internet conection, but my pc is still at old place 🙂 which i will hopefully move tomorrow…

First step would be cleaning my mailbox, second would be avonix 🙂 which is my life.. hehe.. and I hope everything will be back to normal in a week time 🙂

While transferring my old backup, I came across this poem.. written by a friend in 2005.

The sun is setting
my heart is sinking
where are you?
I’ve no clue..
Tears stream down my cheaks
and laugh at my sorrowful eyes
they’ve also abondned me
without even saying Goodbye..!
I think of you..
as i walk down memory lane
why did u leave me alone?
what have u gained?
why did you promise me to always be there?
now i’m waiting for you..
But can’t find you anywhere!
I’m going to die
‘Coz you’ve caused me so much pain
I can’t bare it anymore
‘Coz it’s driving me insane
You said you loved me ..
was that true?
now you’re love is dying
….It’s dying only for you!
Oh, please come back
My heart cries out for you
I’ll always be yours
‘Coz I love you!
