The right to “hypocrisy”

I have been in this booming metropolitan for more than a decade now. And yes with the heat came the holy month of Ramadan. Fasting in this city where people never stop eating it made me wonder, do they actually stop eating, stop eating the piety that is

already in few, restrain from eating people’s reputations and making them a matter of petty gossip, hold themselves back from being untrue to them selves and others around them. To my sheer dismay I encountered the worst of worst, we only restrain from exhibiting the façade held on to prior to Ramadan and succumb to another one which is undoubtedly more pretentious and disconcerting in nature.

Are we all living a life to make others feel a little more envious of us and a little less happy or is it a matter of our own unstable principles that we can neither be true to ourselves nor a religion we so arrogantly flaunt.

Lahore is indeed a place where one meets all and sundry in a period of two days. Ramadan is the best time to witness it all because nobody stops eating anything available in the market. So are we all in this country not being true to anything other than pretension and deceit and eating like pigs or are we just too starved to see the difference between right and wrong? Is it at the end of the day our fault or is it always a higher authority being accused of our misdeeds?

My name is Talal Sajid.  And this is my summary.

I am a student of Lahore School of Economics, pursuing my major in marketing and minor in media studies. I have always been a part of the Beaconhouse School System, and university was the time when we had to part ways. The choice of university was surely not an easy one as it ranged from options varying from international universities to universities in my country. But my love for my city, the beautiful city of Lahore was a bit too much for even my liking which convinced me to choose LSE as my home for the next four years.

The reason to chose this particular degree was mostly influenced by the success of this degree in my family. With my siblings and cousins choosing this and achieving success in terms of their professional life. To be honest, this was a good pick. The degree offers a number of various courses, which has surely helped me in gathering different type of knowledge through out my time period here.

I would define my self as an ambivert, an interesting terminology I got to know about a few days back. It helps define me as a person more than anything else probably could. My interests vary from sports(including UFC) to travelling to video gaming to being a foodie. The only interest that Lahore can fulfill is the foodie one. (Lahore eat in all its glory)

For others to be taken seriously, steps have to be taken, especially the travelling one. Local travelling, i.e. inside of Pakistan is something that is in my control. As it costs a reasonable amount, and can be done with only a couple of friends. And trust me, IT IS worthwhile.

This picture is just the ones I could find at this time, there are so many more, which just shows how much this country has to offer in terms of beauty, and the generosity of the people of these places, which shall surely come in the future blogs.

In my free time, I tend to browse twitter, Medium and reddit. All of these are a very interesting way to pass the time. And MUSIC, how could I forget this. Soundcloud and spotify are a Gods send, making every sensation in life, that more gentle to the heart.

For now this is it. I have a lot more to share, from past events to my point of views on events in general. So let me know of any suggestions, and we’ll get things going from there.

Don’t forget to see my other post.

I once met a traveler named Charlie. He came up to me and said something I will never forget. He said :

“Brian, I travel because it makes my life seem longer.”

His statement perplexed me, so I asked him to explain. He said :

“When I am on my death bed, I want to look back at my life, and have all these vivid memories. I want them to be full and different every single day.” – Brian Chesky, CEO Airbnb.
