The Fark Knight
Return To Blog Listing
I like farking. Primarily because I read a lot. And then I have an opinion about it. And then by the grace of the interwebs, someone is there is disagree wholeheartedly. And then I start pushing my point down his/her throat. Just because! I have fark

Wishing you Eid Sa’eed
Since I am busy in all the weirdness of my last post, I shall not attempt to obstruct the Alice-in-Wonderland-like activities of mine, waiting instead for an Alice-in-UmbrellaCorp-like activity to end the monotony. Going through the past up & dow...
“I’ll Be Back!”
Real Life has a way with things. It looks at you, finds you, stops you, pushes you, sneaks up on you, bashed you on the head and then drags you away to where it wants you to be. And currently, Real Life (RL) does NOT want me to blog. I’ve plead...
Here Comes the Bling!
With the general exodus of all sorts of people and things from the UAE, seems that a few of the oddities are also finding their way stateside. Recently spotted this little gem near the ministries area. Now that’s some serious cheap bling! Ap...
I win!
I just got to know that I have won the first prize in an online quiz competition. Yay! Prizes, here I come! -FK Posted in Humor, Personal ...
H1N1: Schools, Ruwi & Lulu
Really brief. After the case of an Indian School student falling ill and passing away due to swine flu, the Indian Schools have closed for an extended holiday. That comes after an annoouncement that they would not close. But they are now closing. The...
15th August: India Independence Day
So, 62 years ago, the British were expelled from the Indian Subcontinent. The Muslims congregated to one side of the place, the Hindus to the other, a demarcation line was set, and 2 countries were born. By raffle luck coin toss arrangement with the ...
14th August: Pakistan Independence Day
So, 62 years ago, the British were expelled from the Indina Subcontinent. The Muslims congregated to one side of the place, the Hindus to the other, a demarcation line was set, and 2 countries were born. By raffle luck coin toss arrangement with the ...
The Bottom Half Divided by 2
I’m kinda sorta having trouble with work nowadays. Not with the authorities/company policy, but with a couple of “elements” that take the concept of CYA a bit too far. The general mentality of the ‘little black workers’ ...
10 weird things…
…that have happened to me this week/fortnight (inspired by SEwG): - Whilst bowling at OBC, competing against first-timers, my score was 82. My average score usually is by the 150/160 mark. (I’d promised a training session after the game. ...
Overheated shaved balls
“Overheated; Shaved Balls” should be the proper heading. A snide comment on importance of punctuation. In what has got to be the silliest post ever on this blog, I just obtained 2 mouse balls, shaved one of them, scraped it, shined it and...
Vegetables, Steam and In-laws
As I departed in the immortal words of Arnold, with a resolution of “I’ll be back”, little did I know that my solid confidence and regards for the Queen to uphold my blog and keep the visitors coming would be brought crashing on by ...
Who me?
I was supposed to write here? wtf? Oh, hiya all. My name is the Queen of Tarts and I’m quite Tarty in that respect. I was checkin’ out my old stuff and discovered a finely honed talent of mine that is the inability to throw away old stuff...
In-Laws
Summer is in full swing. July has started off with its wet-heat, with lower tempuratures than June but higher-sweat levels. This invariably means tha majority of outdoor activities are a no-no, except for maybe a dip in the big ol’ sea. Summer ...
Mixing it up…
… at the ROP traffic police office in Qurum. The window, for women only, being ‘manned’ by women, had 2 male customers! OTOH, he ‘did’ have his wife/a female with him, I suppose. Lately, I’ve noticed that seeing th...
Michael Jackson – Too Good, Too Soon?
So, seems like MJ really is dead. Cardiac arrest, followed by an hour of resuscitation, but to no avail. Again, Muslims/Islam managed to tick some people off when a news channel censored Jermain Jackson’s press conference’s ending stateme...
“To be Pissed or not to be Pissed”
That’s what I get paid. Obviously, I’m generalizing. And then again, it might not be true, but still. My current dilemma/pissed-offness stems from a query whether I’m being paid by my company (company 47) for the time I spend on my ...
ICC T20:We Have a Winner!
In more ways than one. Having an all-winning team winning something is just continuation. Having an all-losing team winning something is just a coincidence. Having Pakistan win the T20 World Cup is just astounding! There are many tiny elements that s...
Its Only Words…
No paraphrasing this time! Anyway, what is so scrumptiously intriguing as to make you cachinnate and have all onygophagists forget their obsession and instead treat themselves to it? Dunno? Neither do I. But instead of finding such things, what amoun...
ICC T20 WC
Busy in life. Yup, that’s what I have decided to blame my laziness to. I have not been on vacation, I have not been busy in work (infact, lately I have been working hours more and more like a govt. officer rather than a private-sector employee)...
’tis getting hot-ter in here… so take off (uh uh)
There is a typical suspicion of all negative-event-monitoring-official agencies in the region. Naturally. The built-in GCC-ian deafult settings to always see a rosy picture, even if false, is so overriding as to be numbing sometimes. So, naturally,...
Me? Suicide?
No way I support or approve or even contemplate suicide…. I’ve just gotten a new 22″ lcd monitor, man!! Then I get this nugget from my WordPress Stats page: I mean, man, wtf! people searching for “suicide with pills” and...
’tis getting hot in here… so take off (uh uh uh uh)
My attempt at paraphrasing..*face palm* After forgiving me for that headline, forgive me for destroying all credibility of my cellphone’s camera and my photo taking abilities by posting the following: So, this was on Thursday at around 12:30 a...
Rise of the Clones
Whilst enjoying the sunny weather on a jaywalking jaunt through the environs of Wadi Kabir, I passed by the Toyota camp mosque that is there. Expecting to find a shortcut through the parking lot of the same, I stumbled upon a cache of spit-shiny 1985...
Blatant Advertising
Yup, it doesn’t get any lower than this! Up for grabs are the following two items: Videocon Integra 32″ LCD TV. Around… ummm…. 6 months old. That means the 2-year warranty is still in effect. Want to sell it for a bigger size...
Love You Mom!
From the Hadith of the Cloak: [...] My son Hasan came in and said : “Peace be on you, mother” [...] Husain came in and said : “Peace be on you, mother” [...]Gabriel, the trusted angel, asked : “Who [.....
