The world always perceives developers as people who are productive but have no means of life while sitting in front of a screen the whole day. Well that's not actually the case. We have a rather exquisite yet productive life. A schedule filled with lean mindset to work more in a given time frame and learn about the upcoming tech and trends to keep up the game.
I conveyed the temptation to one of my colleagues and good friend Syed Zhang who was equally as excited to know about the upcoming food as me. After surfing and exploring about which restaurant to head to, we decided that we don't have much time for new experiences right now and we headed to our burger place, The Burger Shack!
Located at a busy street of Tariq road, Karachi, the restaurant opens up to reveal a simple counter and then blends in ahead in a set of two stair cases, one going to the floor above and the other going to the basement. The floor above is lined with aesthetically pleasing walls and warm lights with a minimalistic approach to the wooden tables and chairs.
After merely 15 minutes (which felt like 150 minutes due to us being starving), we had our eyes on a pair of burgers with freshly baked buns, a pair of straight,thin fries and two bottles of fizz.
It won't be wrong to say that as always, the flavor and quality was top notch, we ordered a "beef nachos burger" along with a "smoky chicken burger" and yeah, you guessed it right, we had both double pattied cause we sure were hungry.
The dripping nacho sauce of the beef burger with the combination of juicy minced beef was kinda messy to eat and handle, but it was surely worth it. On the other hand, the chicken burger was rather pleasing to eat with a tangy flavor to it. All in all, it was a treat while it lasted.
Getting done with the food, we had one other thing to take care of, and ironically it was linked to getting fit.XD...
We needed some gym equipment and support bands and so we headed to one of the neighbourhood sports shop to get ourselves what we wanted.
And so this is how we spent our 1.5 hour break today, a simple thing I want you guys to note from all this is that how we can adjust ourselves to have the little enjoyments of life, the little experiences and outings that take us away from the routine schedules and coming back to the work place feels like a fresh start again just because of a break that does what its meant to do. Give relaxation.
I guess this is it, take breaks, relax, enjoy life in the little moments, be productive but don't miss out the fun in some short breaks, and eventually, definitely get yourself a cheesy burger, it's worth living for!
