From a 60 year old kid in Lahore....

               

                 ....Zindagi tumhe sab kuch deti hai magar kisi-na-kisi cheez ke liye faqeer rakhti hai. 

I read this quote a long time ago, only to face it now, its quite unusual, even uncomfortable at times to think that I have lost you, that your name will never be next to mine, my lips will forget your taste, my hands will never hold yours again, and my eyes, most lonely of them all, are forgetting your smile, while the ears are haunted by your laugh which echoes through the walls of empty rooms and crowded streets. 

Only thing I can leave with you is, don't leave anything for later, 

later, the coffee gets cold, 

later, you lose interest, 

later, the day turns into night,

later people grow up, 

later, people grow old, 

later, life goes by, 

later, you are only left with regret,

It will surprise you how ungrateful people can be towards something they once cherished from their heart. All you can do is be in the moment, 

This is coming from a man worn out through ages, living in the streets of Lahore, I come back from my day job, its raining outside, I open my door with no one to greet, its pitch dark inside, little light coming from the clouds is shining on my tainted windows, although the rain is coming on my study table through a crack in the glass, I turn on the radio, but its just static noise, since radio stations were shut down 10 years back, but I still turn it on to get rid of the silence.

I have some coffee and sit with my self, because when I was young, I chose peace over drama, distance over attachments, mind over heart...now its just me and my eternal peace. 

all i can say is, be in the moment, 

Qadar karni hai toh waqt pe karo, Taj Mahal jahaan ne dekha hai par Mumtaz ne nahi...
