Pehle ilm ata hai phir tajarba - phir ilm aata hai us tajarbe ki tausi (attestation) kerne - phir ishara aata hai aur phir imtihan !

Negative thoughts

Negative thoughts get circled by negative events !
Power of negative energy.

Friendship

After a long time, I made a special trip to see a childhood friend of 25 years. At one point I even thought that I lost him but there was no need to connect. Miles apart we grew on the same frequency. Time was unable to made a single dent. Eating quail meat at 'kababish', sitting near lake at Fairmount park and roaming on streets of Philadelphia, we talked about everything. We ate the best cheese steak of USA together.

Now looking back....25 years ago, I remember, when first time I saw him- I said to myself: "How come I know this guy?'

Did we know each other even before we met ?. How come, all friends when fall part, grew on different axises except us.

Delayed reaction

"Delayed reaction" is more precise, to-the-point, graceful and effective. "Instant reaction" is a hot water. Click and its gone.

Mother

Insaan ho ya janwaar...Aulad ke chale jaane ka dukh 'maa' se barh ker kis ko ho sakta hai !!. Baqol Iftikhar naseem:

Taaq per juzdaan main lipti
duaaiN reh gaiN
Chal diye bete safar per,
ghar main maaiN reh gaiN

(prayers remained folded on shelves in prayer-cloth,
Sons left for travel, leaving mothers alone at home)
