The Origin of SAWJ

This may be the last of cheerful posts for a while as hopefully Muharram starts on Monday and then I’ll be running Zakir Naik’s ass all over the place, as promised to someone. :)

And I’ve quit smoking so be happy guys! :P

And be happy too that the Los Angeles Lakers brought the 19-game winning streak of the Boston Celtics to a halt on Christmas. Yippee-kaiyeay (find rest of the sentence at the end of any Die-Hard movie)! ;)

I’ve always been one of those guys who wanted to be cool. At times, I would try and make cool things out of my name. One of them was summing up my initials to see what they formed, i.e., SAWJ.

But I wasn’t happy with it then. I mean, it does sound cheesy. :D

Khair, I was on a similar mission during my Intermediate years, trying to make something cool out of it. And then I discovered that SAWJ could be distorted to sound “savage”. ;)

So I made an email address as lethallysawj@hotmail.com and asked all my friends to pronounce it lethallysavage@hotmail.com. But friends can be real assholes and they did the exact opposite. They started teasing me by the name SAWJ.

As time passed, I actually started to like it. It was unique and it did give me a sense of closeness to my friends. And now I’ve become used to it. Almost all the dudes call me that now.

Now, I am…SAWJ!

But that don’t mean I don’t like my real and full names. Because they are my identity. My pride. Hell, if I tell you guys the real meaning of my first name, you will all call me a heretic and send a suicide bomber over. :P

SAWJ also acts as a cover for my real name, a box which protects the valuables.

Cheesy post? Sorry! :)

UPDATE: I forgot to write this. :D

My new jacket has been acting as my second skin these days. I wear it all the time, everyone’s praised it and it’s very cool! Cost me 3000 ruppees and my father was well-beyond angry. I saw a leather jacket at the shop too, made of sheep-skin and still smelling of sheep. It was 6000 ruppees! Had I bought that, my father would’ve made a jacket out of SAWJ-skin!

    @Saira: Hain?

    @Anas: Somethings need to be brought to the limelight. Stop trusting maulvis blindly man. Everyone with a beard is not necessarily a good guy. Take Safi for example! ;)

    @MB: Thanks man. Welcome to the blog! :)

    and well everyone knows what SAWJ stands for, no? :P coz everyone is on ur faceboook :P

  20. Thats what you think. :(

    Khair, I’ll wait for the posts.

    I respect him though, MashaAllah. I’ve actually been to some of his lectures personally.

  21. @Asma: Nope, not everyone. Yeh post farmaish thi!

    @PD: I liked him, until he made those remarks about the Prophet’s (S.A.W.W.) grandson. That ticked me off, sorry! :)

    I know I sound bad but do see what I have in store for him.

    Quit cig?
    man no way its the coolest thing which can repel girls.
    honestly, if you want to break up with a girl start smoking and they wont like it. Anyway, its good for you. You wont die of cancer now but also quit going out coz you might die of car accident…
    what is with people forcing others to do what they thing is right and wrong? toss them around pal and start it again this time top it up with some weed . Its fun…

  23. Pinky said

    *innocently* kis ne farmaish ki thi..kuch humain bhi pata chalay

    & yeah i also dint liked the addition of (RA) against yazeed’s name as per Dr.’s ‘learned opinion’..(i dint heard that lecture though, my friends told me)…

  24. @cigwala: Well, I thought about doing weed with my friend sometime ago but I decided against it. Jab Dunhill Lights mujhay tun kar deti hai to weed to jan se maar de ga! :D

    And break up ke liye you need to be with that girl in the first place! :P

    Anyway, welcome to my blog! :)

    @Pinky: Oho, bechari ko pata hi nahin hai na kis ne! :P

    Video is available on Youtube but useless to watch.

  30. Pinky said
