Alot can happen over coffee..

21 Dec'06: Karachi, Pakistan.

11:04 am: Gotup from the following sms:
Joanna: Hey, your lunch with Ryan is at 12:30pm! Take care!

11:30 am: I can sleep more..

12 pm: A litttlee more..

12:09 pm: 5 minutes won't kill me..

12:15 pm: RUN!

12:30 pm: I get a call..
Kurt: Mr. Taha, when would you be here?
Me: 2 minutes! I'm almost there.
Kurt: 2 as in 2? Or Pakistani 2?
Me: Okay 3 minutes honestly!

12:39 pm: I enter the MC Office to find them engrossed in their laptops. Yes, I don't have one! Anyway, exchange of greetings and..

Emad: Where are you guys going?
Me: Not sure. Nawab, CK.. ?
Emad: He can't eat!
Me: Oh.
Kurt: You have 51 minutes with him!

12:50 pm: I walk into Costa with AIESEC International's Director for the Asia Pacific Region (woah!), Ryan Sheppard, and we quickly grab the best table right next to the window.

12:51 - 1:35 pm:
If there was possibly a time when I could actually give a practical example for the word "Inspired", it would be during this time! From talking about the progress Pakistan has made till now, or how to tackle with my parents, or what mind-set to be in always, or why I haven't washed my car in so long! (lol), it was highly inspiring to say the least. I never believed it was actually this huge, and the step I was about to take would have been this enormous. I never thought so much could happen over coffee. I never knew the dude was only 22 years old! And I never knew that I could be that high about something! I never thought this would actually be a huge investment into my future. I never thought 2 small packs of sugar would be less for me. And I never felt a more strong sense of belonging and belief in this organization. I just have to do this now. Not because I have to, but because I really really want to! And ofcourse, regardless of what happens, never have any regrets whatsoever!

1:44 pm: We enter the MC Office..
Kurt: You are 14 minutes over-time! Pay us!
(lol).

2:01 pm: Leave the MC Office with a spirit to die for!

2:20 pm: Enter college to look for Rabia and her department members. Can't find her anywhere. Quickly sms her (i love Warid!). Run into OC's meeting, go through updates, list down potential companies to call for myself, and leave!

2:50 pm: Check email. Half of my department has applied to become Team Leader for the Xteams! (so that's 5 outta 10 people). Only 2 people would actually get it!

3:15 - 3:45 pm: Call 4 companies and setup meetings for next week!

6:10 pm: Go all the way to uni-plaza to get my pc fixed (pending for the past 184,302 days!)

8pm: Actually washed my car!
