Adventure and Cracker

Do not have much to write the past few days and I believe one should not write if there is nothing to write but here I am writing gibberish again which most of my audience will probably not understand.

First here is the cracker which probably only hindi/urdu speaking readers will understand. One of my ABCD Karachi dwelling cousins had to write an essay for her urdu O'Level exams the essay was "Allodgi" (pollution) key nuksanat per mazmoon likhen" (Write an essay on the adverse effects of Pollution.) and She comes home and tells every one she wrote a great essay on "Allo" (potatoes) aur "Ghee" (Oil) key nuksanat".

secondly the adventure, well its not really an adventure. Day before my car was not available and I decided to to take the bus from Dubai to Sharjah. In my 5 years in the UAE I have never used public transport before. The buses were abundant because apparently since RTA (road and transport authority) were short on buses they had hired buses from rental companies, the driver was not in uniform but the bus was decent and clean. The reason that I would probably not take another bus in this city is that the first time i took one the driver did not know the way to his destination and wasted at least 30 mins.
