Aquarius Fun Facts

Highly intellectual, this is a sign of fierce independence that prizes intuition tempered with logic.

Aquarians present themselves in one of two ways. One on hand, you'll see someone who is shy and quiet. On the other, an Aquarian can be boisterous, eccentric, and energetic. Both are deep thinkers with a love of helping others. Both have an uncanny ability to see opposite sides of an argument, making them excellent problem solvers. While very much attuned to the energies around them, Aquarians have a deep need to take time out alone to rejuvenate themselves. The keyword for this sign is "imagination." The Aquarian can see a world of possibilities even when there appear to be none. 

Friends and Family

Even though Aquarians are great with groups of people, it takes a bit of effort when it comes to making close friends. Deeply sensitive and cautious, closeness means vulnerability to an Aquarian, and this is not something to be taken lightly. The Aquarian's direct, no-nonsense approach in combination with their strong values can make it challenging to get to know them. Yet, those who do discover a friendship that lasts through the years. An Aquarian will go the distance for a loved one to the point of self-sacrifice if necessary. They look for creativity, intellect, and honesty in their friends. When it comes to family, the expectations are no less. While dedicated to a sense of duty to relatives, the Aquarian isn't one for developing close bonds unless the same qualities they expect in their friendships are there.

Career and Money

Aquarians bring an enthusiasm to the work they do, especially when it involves expression. They have an exceptionally high ability to put their imaginative qualities to the task and think outside the box. Careers that allow for concept development or demonstration can suit this sign well. High intellect, combined with a willingness to share their talents, inspires many who work in the same environment. Natural visionaries, Aquarians love to engage in careers that aim to benefit humankind in the long run. 

When it comes to money, this sign really has a knack for keeping a healthy balance between having the things that they need and putting money away. Often while out shopping, the shiny, glittery, and extravagant will catch their eye even though their homes are generally decorated with less ostentatious taste. It's not uncommon to find the Aquarian dressed in brightly colored outfits that dare to turn heads. Most are well attuned to their individual sense of style and aren't afraid to show it. 

Careers that suit the Aquarian are acting, writing, teaching, cooking, photography, or aircraft piloting. The best work environment is one that gives them the freedom to tackle the task without a lot of strict guidelines. The Aquarian is unconventional, and given the opportunity to show their true talents they can 

Love and Sex

For the Aquarian, intellectual stimulation is the greatest aphrodisiac by far. There's nothing like a lively chat, rich in culture and possibilities for the future, to get this sign going. When it comes to love, people best suited are those who are not thrown off by the Aquarian's frankness. Open, communicative, imaginative, and a willingness to take risks are all qualities that blend well with this sign's perspective on life. Honesty and sincerity are essential for anyone seeking a long-term connection to this dynamic personality.

Zindagi Gulzaar Hai?? Well Not For Everyone!

Kashaf Murtaza, an interesting character from another block buster drama serial of HUM TV, has been really striking to me lately as she represents majority of the girls of our society, the middle class girls, like me. I usually write reviews of Pakistani serials and not the individual characters but this character is so much symmetrical to me that I was forced to post about her on my blog. So lets brain storm the similarities between the author and Kashaf.
1. She is a huge pessimist like me!! She sees negative results of each and every thing in her life before the event even occurs. She sees all the people around her in a negative way except her family members.
2. She does not trust anyone in this world like the author. Moreover, she does not even trust her mother and sisters regarding her marital issues and marriage proposals.
3. She is a victim of the class differences set by the cruel society..but..
4. Inspite of all the class differences, she works very hard among the high class people to fulfill her needs and wants...but..
5. She hesitates working with these high class people and avoids them and hesitates when she is with them. She avoids disclosing her identity infront of these people with the fear that they might make fun of her middle class standards and life style. Well the author is not so conscious but yes a little.
6. She is ambitious and has a strong will power and she would spend thousands of sleepless nights working hard to achieve her dreams. Her self esteem and self respect donot allow her to ask for any favor from anyone.
7. Her ego is really strong and she would never ever kneel in front of anyone.
8. She is a sourceless girl which means she is not the daughter of some wealthy and rich parents, who in our society, can buy her dreams using their money and for this reason she has to work really hard.
9. She is ofcourse not happy with the unfair system of the society. She hates classy people who can buy themselves big achievements just because their fathers are on some really good source or they have got loads of money in their bank accounts.
10. She is always blaming God for all the hardships of her life. And her way of complaining is so similar to that of the author!
11. She loves blogging like me. Well she does not have a blog but she has a simple diary in which she can mention all her feelings. But she mentions everything openly and directly unlike me.
12. She is a rude, egoistic person but once you get friendly with her you discover that she is your most sincere friend. And is you tease her even a bit, she becomes your worst enemy.
Well Kahsaf's life is getting better day by day with every episode of "Zindagi Gulzar Hai". She has come out of the rags and is now leading a comfortable life. Her hardwork has bought her all the comforts of life. She is a respectable government officer now. Her family is happy and she is happy and gradually she is converting herself from a rude, egoistic and complaining person to a soft and grateful person just because she is starting to believe that all her dreams have finally come true.
But does this all happen in real life? There are thousands of girls in our society who resemble Kashaf some how or maybe fully but all of them donot achieve this happiness in the end inspite of all their hardwork. Many such girls donot achieve professional greatness, though they have also spent thousands of sleepless nights like Kashaf. They get to hear in the end that  "this is the reality of life and you wont get everything because you are from a middle class family so try to be grateful for what you have"...Many girls are unable to find a Prince Charles for themselves like Kahshaf found her's (Zaroon) and when they donot accept the ordinary proposals they get to hear "no miracle would happen for you..you are an ordinary girl with ordinary face and ordinary parents.why do you wait for some Prince Charles"
Where should these girls go and hit their heads?? 

Unanswered Questions

Is there any value of our hardwork in this life or everything is destined to be and planned by God already? If our hardwork really counts then has this not been planned by God already that we will work hard? God says in Holy Quran that he listens us..but does He only listen to our wishes and wants or He fulfills them as well? And if He fulfills what we ask for then everyone should be happy in this worl..but everyone is not happy! This means God only listens and does not fulfill all our wishes! So why are we supposed to ask him for what we want? Is it not useless to waste our time asking for things we wont get?? and this also means everything is pre planned before you are even born! So then why is praying to God so important? why is religion so important? for life here after?? is this the answer? are we following religion in this life to earn good points in life here after? so that we can earn a castle in heaven like our parents have been telling us and our grand and grand grand and great grand parents have been passing this message to their descendents?? So this means if we are good in religion in this world then we are going to have a good life here after and we shall not be burned in hell for the sins which we havent performed. But is it possible that a person passes his entire life without performing any sin? NO!! (if you talk about normal humans). So every person performs atleast a small sin in his or her life right? and for that sin he will have to answer on the day of judgement..and he will be punished for that sin accordingly..so if he will be punished for one sin then why does he spend his entire life trying his best to be good in religion? why does he has to follow the DOES and DONTS of his religion? he can not enjoy half of the world just because his religion does not allow him to enjoy that way!! why cant he simple enjoy in this world fully and then answer on the day of judgement for all the sins he has performed in this life? Atleat once he will be able to enjoy i.e in this world..on the other hand if he keeps on worrying about his religion in this world, he will miss half of the fun of this world and in life here after as well he wont be a position holder because as i mentioned no one is perfect and everyone has performed one or more sins for which he will be punished..this means he spent his entire worldly life worrying for his life hereafter and on the day of judgement as well he will suffer because of few of his sins that he might have performed in the world!! ASMAN SE GIRA KHAJOOR MEN ATKA!! i often feel betrayed by this religion talk..some of these as above are unanswered questions..i often feel everything is pre planned and we are just statues controlled by God and he enables us to do only what he wants..so why are we even alive?? HE could have used robots instead of humans! If God is equal to seven mothers why is 75% of the world so unhappy? people being killed in bomb blasts, men being slaughtered in their country, wrong ways preferred to rise higher in professional life, thousands of girls being raped daily? etc etc etc..we say not even a leaf can move by breeze if God doesnot want..then where is God now when all these tragedies and accidents are taking place? if whatever happens to  person has been earlier decided by God and is for the betterment of that person then how is it better for a girl to be raped? how is it better for kids to loose their father because he had been slaughtered by Taliban? how is it better for a person that he is suffering from cancer? how is it better for a person whose dead body is not found after bomb blast? if you say that difficult times come upon men because of their own sins then it is not wrong to say that all you achieve in this world is because of your own efforts and praying to God does not matter...and if you want to give credit of your achievements to God then also give him the credit of your hardships!
