I have stopped writing my blogs without any reason, but I realized there was a reason, I cut my self from books and literature and also kept my self busy doing nothing. But recently I was watching Jim Carry’s  movie “Yes, Man”, it was quite motivational and encouraging and helped me to come back to blogging and other stuff, I just stopped doing in last couple of months, 20 to be precise.

So here I am back with my writings, thoughts and other stuff. I am glad and thankful to Almighty that finally I am back on track to do something useful. I promised my self to write at least one posting every alternate day.  Pray for me and keep doing the good work. I would like to conclude this with a phrase, that suits my scenario very well.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.

Do you dream your programs? Do dreams help you sovle programming logic?

Yes, they do.

I have experienced that dreams do help you solve some critical problems. When you engrossed in  programming to solve something; you start dreaming about your problems when you sleep and eventually you end up with a solution. Its a such a wonderful experience that nobody can help you feel it, you have to experience it your self.

How many times your dreams solve your problems?

Today on my way to office I stopped at Shell gas station, between Teen Talwar and Shaun Circle underpass, to fill my gas tank. It was unusual for me to stop there because I prefer to fill my gas tanks from stations associated with Pakistani companies like PSO or Parco.

But today’s incident has changed my mind. I was very surprised to see that that gas station is selling CNG at official government rate i.e. PKR 43.85. When I inquired why they are selling CNG at this rate, the cashier answered me, “Company has asked us to sell CNG at official government rates “. I said, “Then why are other stations selling at different rate?” he smiled and replied “Woh to badmashi hai”.

I don’t know whether all Shell stations are selling CNG at official governement rate or not?
