On 17th November 2008, 12 o'clock at night suddenly my cell phone rang. i picked up the phone hoping for a female voice to hear but it was Libra on the other side :D:P
He asked me what am i doing right now? i told him that my net was not working for the past few days, TV dekh dekh k bore ho gaya hoon i was hoping for a zanana awaaz but right now hearing a mardana awaaz :(
Then Libra told me to get ready as we r going for a road trip i asked him when n where? He said its 12AM now n at 2AM i'm coming to ur house to pick u up n we r going to Islamabad on IJC invitation for their mega event 4x4 EXTRAVAGANZA
I said "bhai chaddi to istaree kar leney do" he replied " u have 2 hours, enough for ironing a dozen of chaddies, so be ready at 2 o'clock sharp" :d
