Shoe Big! You are very similar to Azure in your writing style. May be, UAE background has made it similar. Good work. I really liked reading this article.

``But last night was one of those when the bladder starts confusing itself with the heart``

This single line weighs heavier than the rest of the article.

BigShoe:

`Electrica` you might be screaming at top of your lungs when power went off. Well after studying Archimedis Principle in 8th Grade I used to be in bath tub more in delight to observe weight loss by byonic forces caused by displacement of water.

Well,

``Machar ko Toap say Maro phir bhi nahi marta Sala.``

And lastly

It is not clever to recklessly use supply of widely oriented landscape to katha minor phobias following right from childhood.
However the shadows, scary shock of Power off, unconscious belief of inscests crawling nearby are hard ridden off irrational fears of life.
Anyways,
This article is more of a Hard Task to recollect the amazements, aversions,anxieties your brain is processing and encountering .

big shoe, I`m flummoxed by all the big words you used. Well done on making it to the FP, or is it coming back?

The title may be considered intriguing by some – but might also be a turn-off for people like me who don’t use words like THAT!

It reads decent. I think you could have made it a little shorter.

[ … when the bladder starts confusing itself with the heart,…]
To pee or not to pee, then becomes the question. Did he or didn’t he – shall forever a mystery remain! (Or did the problem resolve itself spontaneously as soon as the hairy-legged creature showed up?)

Like Archimedes, I once ran naked straight out of the bath into the street; the reason for this............has to be `cause you live in Karachi, the city notorious for power outages.
