Pump .

While the rest of the world ... my classmates ... are busy studying their asses off (no offence to anyone) , here I am wasting my time sleeping and watching TV . Actually no !!I did some bio-medical engineering crap today . And it made me thinking if we are supposed to make the stupid medical machines only , then why the hell are we studying about what happens in the human body . And then I'm in the 1000th random discussion with my sister . ...Yes I tend to do that a lot while I'm studying ! 

And what am I thinking ... that if I were to be a doctor what would fascinate me the most . And before I even finished my question I had the answer . I wont say "the gift of life" and all that crap . No the simplest thing that fascinates me the most is a heart . A beating heart . I mean I don't think anything could be more miraculous than that . An organ that pumps blood without any external help or stimulus . Come to think of it , if it isn't for us moron humans our heart could kind of live forever . We eat fatty foods and fill it with layers of unhealthy gelatin like rubbish. On top of that we literally press it between our own two hands to relieve the stress we created for it in the first place . Talk about being killers and you find one in front of the mirror. 

What can be more magical than a bag pumping blood all on its own to a body that in return just punctures and thrashes that bags little heart . Our heart would have a heart too . Just like we feel hurt and broken or angry ... or happy excited loved . Why would our heart not feel the same ?? It's another thing that the hurt and anger and love is all dependant on how we feel ourselves in the first place.

This little bag ... it beats . The most soothing sound that can exist . Some times even more that the sound of laughter around us . I once went with my mom and waited outside the labour ward while she was delivering babies of patients. and I heard it for the first time . At first I though there was some problem with the plumbing of the hospital .. and then I asked my sis what it was . And she told me . The beating of the little heart of a little baby about to come into this big big world . The heartbeat is usually so hard to hear that the nurses have to put it on a speaker for the doctors to hear . And that was my first time I fell in love with the heart itself . The poetic organ of our body that makes us love in the fist place .
How strong is the heart ??  well i guess pretty strong . It makes us blush when we are shy ( and trust me girls the hot guy has nothing to do with it whatsoever) . It flutters when he walks through that door towards us . It sends butterflies when we are happy . It makes us hot when we are angry . It beats like a drum when we are nervous . It makes our hands and feet cold when we are scared . It makes us cry on movies that are purely stupid . It makes us laugh when we see that one smile we would give anything for . In short when we feel happy .. our heart does . When we don't I doubt it the heart does too. 

So here it is to the most special , most magical , most heroic organ that can exist ..... actually stronger than even the strongest men we think .
Keep it happy.
Cheerio :)

Sizzzzling Sunday

Bonjour to all you beautiful people out there. <3
Today is a sizzling sunday, sizzling because its soo hot for  april and sunday because , well, its a sunday.  I'm Meeru; the guest blogger for today, and also mehreen's sarcastic vain sister. 
This post is about how to make a drink called " the virgin mojito"( mo-hee-to). ENJOY


THE VIRGIN MOJITO ; Pronounced MO-HEE--TO
A refreshing drink , tracing its roots back to Cuba.  Its tangy, citrus-y and not for the sweet hearted. ...called virgin because its a derivative of the alcoholic "mojito" but without the alcohol.
 have a look ; 
                              
And again;
                                                                          
Recipe;
You'll need 
- 5-6 Yellow lemons-( or green limes if u can find em in karachi,)
- Sugar 1-3 tbsp or how sweet u want it
- Apple juice (nestle's will do perfectly)
- Lemonade
-Mint leaves(Pudina leaves)
-Seven up 
-LOTS AND LOTS of Ice
-Tiny bit of green coloring , just for prettiness (why drink it if it looks ugly..eh? :p)

How to present it:
1-take a glass and wet it.
2- while still wet, take 2-3 pudina leaves and drop them in the bottom of the glass. take 2-3 more leaves , and stick them at the sides of the glass, while quickly putting 9-10 pieces of ice into the glass to make the leaves stick to the sides of the glass.
3-put this empty decorated glass in the freezer

How to make it:
1- Make the lemonade like u would normally, with lemon and sugar and water, keeping it a bit on the tangy- khatta side.
2- In a seperate container, mash 5-6 pudina leaves with a few drops of apple juice into a paste.
3- mix the lemonade, applejuice-pudina mixture together. taste it. see what u need to adjust.
4- add a half of a small bottle of seven up into this concoction. taste it again. see what u need to adjust.
5- Put just a small pinch of salt into this drink. this gives it that little zing.
6- now, in a small bowl put a 2-3 drops of green food coloring with some water, and put it in this drink. the color of the drink instantly changes to a lime-y green.
Now take out ur decorated glass, pour in the drink, decorate it with an umbrella, and serve.This drink hardly takes 12 mins.
So my lovelies, Have a chilled drink first, and deal with bullshit later.Its the only way to live.
See ya next sunday
:) adios amigos
