"yaay"

Yaay,today I am one year older than last October 13th.

I want to age with grace !
I want to celebrate my aging !

And yes I did !!

So my dear,
Yes,I had desires of conquest,glory and victory once upon a time,
Until one day,I saw myself in the mirror facing myself.
That day,I saw myself getting conquered by the passing by time.

Yes,I know:
a look in the mirror,
a need for having reading glasses,
a shade of snow in head,
a graduation certificate date
a news of a colleagues's death !

Those are the reminders:
"sub thath para rah jaway ga,jub laad chalay ga bunjara".

And the life goes on to a life hereafter !!

"nobel piece prize"

I heard the News !!
But I want my piece of prize !!

I wish some day we will get a Nobel Prize.
But for now I would like to share my thoughts about getting a Nobel prize for my country.

I think people of Pakistan should be nominated at least for a piece of Nobel prize in some category, say in "human sufferings".

The criteria can be very stringent but we are Pakistanis,a wounded country with stabs from its own,we can easily compete with others !!

No electricity,still same electric bills,who cares.
No safe water,who cares,
No sugar,who cares.
No safety,who cares.
No business,who cares
No law,who cares
No justice,who cares
No leader,only jugglers,jokers and thieves,who cares.
No parliament,yes a dummy parliament who cares.
No jobs for well deserved educated people,who cares.
No respect to countrymen,can be for sale to other nations,who cares.

Yes we have Edhi and like souls,but who cares (certainly not the nobles).

Our people are still living and keep on living against so many odds.
Our people are carrying the burden of the rest of the world.

My fellow countrymen you deserve a piece of Nobel Prize!
I wish you the best,I love you no matter what,with or without a Prize !!

"once upon a time"

Once upon a time,
This is the story of what is made in heaven.

Though it felt like a new beginning,
But our love was there since the beginning.

Though all stories start like this, as once upon a time.
Our story is the beginning of love for eternity starting right now !

"perfect,imperfect"

Ages ago, I tried to hold on to her,
But my past came in between two of us !

And we moved on to have a perfect life.

I wonder, am I the only one still wondering in an imperfect world !

"karma"

Ramadan,the month of blessings is here and I wonder why ?
Things don’t change with my people,and my land............ !

I don't wonder anymore !

People of my land make news with making artificial shortages.
They lie,cheat,hoard,deceive.
They cannot follow traffic laws,they cannot respect life and liberty.

I wonder why people from my land wonder;
Don’t wonder,it is simple;

Beside their leaders,
People themselves are low in character,faith and discipline.
They are victim of their own deeds: Karma.

"a long distance affair"

On my iphone, I saw uTube videos;
The videos of the town, streets, people of the city; I left behind.
Yes,things have been changed.

Ages old images,which froze in my mind then,are not there any more.
No more delicate eastern romance.
No more faith,unity,discipline.
No more institutions.
No more people to proud of,
No more principles to die for.

Yes,I love to live in those frozen past images as realities........
Then I saw uTube videos on my iphone.
It felt like all of my memories were a cliche’ of a long distance affair.

"upfront declaration"

In the beginning,middle or end of our love lives;
There are no dead lines.
There are no ultimatums.

At first I love you,
Then I hate you,
And finally I am walking away.

First you love me,
Then you hate me,
And finally you are pulling away.

You see,we fall and fail in love together;

As love is an up front declaration, not a back ground diplomacy.
