The Sweet Poison Diabetes

The Great Nationwide Pizza Festival

If one would ask me, what can I eat everyday then I would reply 'Pizza' (^_^) Yes, pizza is my favorite dish that I cannot share with anyone but at the same time I cannot eat it alone too. I believe company is very necessary while eating, at least if there’s single person to accompany you while eating then you will enjoy the food and if you have a bunch of friends then I am sure you will eat below your limits, and in case if you are eating alone, you will be eating only to fill your tummy so it’s better to find a company.

I love to eat pizza with cousins. We are a bunch of six cousins, actually we are BFFs, on many gatherings or birthday parties with mutual consensus we prefer to order pizza and other items at home, and enjoy every bite of it on terrace in open sky and to save time, we log on to foodpanda and orders our favorite feast. It saves us from vicious traffic jams and gives us great conveience at the same time. The sweet chit chat and funky gossip that we had in cold nights while eating hot pizza are unforgettable. It truly falls under the sack of my golden memories, and today foodpanda has given us another chance to re-live those magical moments again because today foodpanda is celebrating, The Great Pizza Festival in which 100 plus pizza outlets are participating and some of them are: Domino’s, 14^thStreet Pizza Co, Pizza Point and others, and not only this, it’s giving an exclusive 50% off on every deal so log on to foodpanda and scroll down to your favorite deal and order. 

In this dry routine, foodpanda has given me a chance to party and I am going to avail it by ordering my favorite pizza, so what are your plans?

A Chinese treat :)

So today is my best friend’s birthday, we are a group of five friends but we know each other from quite long time. From the first day of university to the last meeting we attended at 10:00 am in the office today. Yes, she is my buddy, she is my classmate, and my colleague as well. We share a strong bond of love, affection and understanding. Since we are a group of five, it’s a rule of our group, to make one's birthday the most memorable event of the year. To do so, we give them a royal treatment on their special day and for Zoya we have planned a blast, and this all is possible due to foodpanda.

This year we have planned to celebrate a 101% fun filled birthday of her and for a well-managed party we have divided our tasks for the day, and yes, I have been given the food department. Off course, for anyone food will be an easy task but in Zoya’s case it’s difficult. She is a foody person and loves Chinese food, so I logged on to foodpanda to order her favorite feast.

This time foopanda is celebrating The Great Chinese Festival and all the mainstream Chinese restaurants of Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad are participating in it with all their dishes and offering an exclusive 50 % discount over single dish and deals. Zoya loves chicken Manchurian and hot & sour soup from China Grill, Stir fried Noodles from Oishi Sushi, butterfly prawn from Ching Ming and the list goes on, hence, foodpanda has helped me a lot in making my best friend's birthday a blast and insha'Allah she will love and enjoy tonight's surprise party and will remember it the whole year.

The Great Fast Food Festival

‘Eh hey eh hey…meri maa nay pakay aalu anday…eh hey eh hey… Mein ni khanay meinu lagday nay ganday’ (My mum had made aalu anday for dinner and I just don’t like aalu anday). Have you heard this song before? I have heard it sometime back, and whenever my mother cooks Aalu Anday this song reverberates in my ears, and then, I log on to Foodpanda website and order my favorite burger. Sometimes in office, and most of the times with friends, and co-workers, foodpanda have remained my first preference to order yumilicous feast, that are further enjoyed with funky chitchats and gossips.

In this fast paced world, fast-food plays a vital role, and for me it’s a savior of my life. Of course food is a savior of one’s life but for me, fast food is just like a friend in need. I love to eat burger and craves for it all the time. I have tried almost every flavor available in big and small restaurants of Karachi. Whether, its juicy grilled patty soaked under mouthwatering sauces to the hot cheese omitting, mayo garlic burger I have almost tried the whole wide range and all of them were just a call away from me. Instead of going out and check the places, I rather prefer to sit back and log on to foodpanda website and order my favorite deals.

Likewise, in Eid days when beef, mutton and meat were the only item in lunch and dinner I ordered my favorite burger and quenched my hunger strike, and now I am all geared up to celebrate The Great Fast Food Festival with foodpanda. As it is giving exclusive discounts over 50 restaurants, only on 14th October 2014!

Click happiness with foodpanda

The month of Ramadan is about fasting but as soon the air echoes with the sound of Allah u Akbar, Allah u Akbar, everyone attack over aftaari, and eat as much as they can, and later prepare for Taraweeh with a heavy stomach and throat bubbling with food. There are two kinds of people in the world one who eat to live and others, who live to eat!

Are you the one who lives to eat? Don’t stare the words or feel shy, be frank as I am also the one but my calorie calculator is always on whenever I order any scrumptious item. There was a time when I keep the brochures of restaurants or log on to websites only to get their delivery number but now foodpanda has made it all easy for me. Now I just log on to foodpanda, order my favorite food item and get it at my door step.

This Ramadan when I was surfing the website for Aftaar deals, it doesn’t mean, I was feeling hungry or mujhey roza lag raha tha,

I came across the Click Donate banner. I was so amazed and curious to know how foodpanda can support underprivileged families as it’s an online food portal.

In my curiosity I clicked the banner and found three categories of Ration packs. When I read the items carried by each Ration Pack, I was surprised. The ration bags contain daily consumer products such as rice, flour, tea and cooking oil, and have been categorized into three packages priced at Rs.1000, Rs.1825 and Rs.2890 according to a person’s feasibility. 

At that moment, I realized what my Thousand Rupees can do for the poor families. From my thousand rupees, my friends and I can have an aftaar party but on the other hand, this thousand rupee note can bring smile on the faces of a whole family and they can eat a substantial meal through it. Ramadan is the spiritual month when a Muslim do fasting for Allah, and abstain himself from eating and drinking in order to get the real essence of Ramadan which is hunger and thirst, and unfortunately, food and water are the elements that are heavily wasted every year, but this Ramadan foodpanda has paved an easy path for us through the Click Donate campaign. One can donate a ration pack by sitting at home with just a click!

I further searched about this online charity program, and my trust was further strengthened when I saw TCS Connect and Orange Tree Foundation are also involved in this Choti si Naiki (small deed). TCS Connect is handling the logistics and collection of money from the donors and giving it to Orange Tree Foundation which is a charitable organization for education. 

The promotional video of the campaign played the role of a catalyst in the whole process. The video have first shown the plight of poverty and hunger in our country and right after that the struggle and teamwork of foodpanda has shown that actually eliminates the doubt of fraud or any other deceit. The video urges me to share it on my social networks so my friends and other members of my friend list can be a part of this activity and join hand in hand with food panda in this month of donation.

How to donate?

It is a three step process, select your ration pack via foodpanda website or mobile app and order it. Later, a TCS Connect representative will visit your home to collect the money and give you a certificate from foodpanda as a token of appreciation. Your money then will be delivered to Orange Tree Foundation where ration packs will be distributed to the needy.

The whole process is so simple and convenient. This Ramadan, be a part of this good deed with foodpanda and share happiness with underprivileged. Because this is not charity, this is their right!

I volunteered

Everyone loves to keep a pet or pets. He nurtures the beautiful creature with deep love, great warmth and care. Some loves to keep cats and dogs while other goes out for fish, birds and others. This story is not about my pet but my colleague’s. One of my colleague loves to keep fishes, initially he bought a small pot for fishes that later converted into a big aquarium. Its beauty was further embellished with artificial plants, gravel and a sea diver statue. Soon the hugs aquarium becomes apple of eye of whole department and other departments as well which are residing on that particular floor.
The multi breed and colored fishes inside the glass gradually became a relaxing therapy for the whole department. When the pretty fishes stretch their fins and move hastily, one just follows their track, stand stood. On every sight, It gave a cool ease to eyes which excels out all the tiredness of work and when light turned off, its sparkling head bulb illuminate the dark atmosphere and once again, we start gazing the new guests of our department. Though, there was different kind of fishes kept inside the aquarium but the golden colored ‘Gold fish’ was beyond praise.
It was my routine to office to play with Gold Fish and other by knocking the glass. I love the way, the confused and scared fishes move here and there. The time passed on and water got dirty day by day, therefore, one day we decided to change the water. We were gladly changing the water, unaware of the the fact that we will soon lose our dear ‘Gold Fish’.
While changing the water, fishes were transferred into small pot and I persisted to put the pot on my desk where I talked, whistled, took pictures and shot video of fish.
In a nut shell, I enjoyed as much as I can and left office with a happy and smiling face but next day all my happiness flown away when I came to office and found the Gold Fish dead!
This wasn't a new thing for my colleagues and they took it lightly (later showed regret) and suggested to apply the same procedure of throwing fish into the garbage bin but here I didn't allow anyone to throw it into dustbin and I suggested to bury the poor creature whose soul said farewell to the world when I weren't around her. I asked my colleague took the fish net, carrying the dead body and follow me. I dig a small area and bury the poor fish. I watered her with my tears and bade Good Bye!
Now everything is back to normal; same department, same aquarium but the thing that not same and normal is the Gold Fish who is no more...
People love their pets till they are alive but what if they die?
