Jaali Adventures, Search for civilization...

We get off work, me and my friend, around 6ish after which there is nothing to do :/ the office and company residence is in area called Thokar Niaz Biag. Its like a total residential area. Civilization to me is like when i see shops and resturants around. So today me and my friend decide to embark on a holy mission to find civilization. Mysteriously there are no taxis in lahore..i havnt seen one yet :p after dark the whole area becomes creepy and quiet. We started walking to search for a rickshaw or a bus or something. We walked and walked and walked. Hell we walked alot untill we actually found a genuine bus stop..ALAS! A sign of civilization! We took a sigh of relief that yes people do actually live here and this area isnt just filled with endless houses and dead people :/ its quite cold here, it is to me atleast :/ after a while standing on the stop a bus came. A real life bus :D we boarded the bus and sat down. We didnt know where the bus was headed though. After inquiring from the conductor we found out that the bus wasnt headed anywhere..no where important atleast :/ kher we sat there for some 20 minutes.. It had to pass thru somewhere with shops and resturants..emphasis on resturants coz we were hungry and quite bored :/ we were looking keenly on both sides of the roads for some sign of civilization.. Just something.. Anything :| after some 40 minutes i saw lights... Could it be? Was it a figment of my imagination.. Was i going mad from all the cold? No it was.. It actually was civilization :D all with resturants and stuff. Immediately jumping off our seats we rushed to the door to get out. The conductor was standing there..coz thats his place.. We gave the poor dude a scare..he thought we were going to push him off the bus :p so we got off in an area called Icha Pul or something like that :s so we found civilization, had two different things to eat at two different resturants :D after walking around a bit we decided to get back. We found the stop for going back. A guy came to us and asked us if the bus would come this late :/ and it was only 10pm or so :| after like 10 minutes we saw a rickshaw coming our way... Not taking a chance that he wouldnt stop we stepped in the way so he had no choice but to stop :p we got in and went home freezing.
