Woman and her men

From around Jesus era, murals were found in Latin America known as Murales de Los Bebedores. One of the murals which depicted the myth that every woman in this world may pretend or be married to a man but has a secret lover in her heart which she fed her actual juice of love. People have inference their own opinions like it is not a secret lover but her God with who she shares her inner secrets. In any case....

The Legend of Truth (Painting)

According to a 19th-century legend, the Truth and the Lie meet one day. The Lie says to the Truth: "It's a marvelous day today"! They spend a lot of time together, ultimately arriving beside a well. The Lie tells the Truth: "The water is very nice, let's take a bath together!" The Truth, suspicious, tests the water and discovers that it indeed is very nice. They undress and start bathing. Suddenly, the Lie comes out of the water, puts on the clothes of the Truth and runs away. The furious Truth comes out of the well and runs everywhere to find the Lie and to get her clothes back. The World, seeing the Truth naked, turns its gaze away, with contempt and rage. The poor Truth returns to the well and disappears forever, hiding therein its shame. Since then, the Lie travels around the world, dressed as the Truth, satisfying the needs of society, because, the World, in any case, harbors no wish at all to meet the naked Truth.

The world famous painting- "The Truth coming out of the well" Jean-Léon Gérôme, 1896.

Amar Piyaas

“Sir! Kiya aesa ho sakta hai ke khawab main insaan aesi zaban (language) bole aur samjhe – jo us ne zindagi main kabhi na suni ho?”

“Aesa parha to hai , magar kese hota hai – malum nahi? – Kiya huwa tumhare saath?”

“Sir! Thar ka sehra tha – aur kuch aesa tha jese – kisi ko ishq ki padash main sehra main akela choR diya gaya ho – aur woh  karabala ke 72 shaheedoN ke naam le le ker duhaii de raha ho – jese koi bhatkti ruh ho – kab se sehra main piyasi”

“Koi lafz yaad aata hai?”

“Nahi Sir! koi ajeeb hi zaban thi – jab aankh khuli to saare alwaz mehv ho gaye. Sir! Na Sindhi thi, na Saraiki thi! Aur na hi Thari  – koi bohat hi mukhtalif , koi muqami zaban thi”.

“Aur kiya kiya yaad hai?”


“Sir! Jab aankh khuli to gale main shadeed piyas se pha’ns chubh rahi thi – Piyas ka aesa shadeed aehsas tha – jese jaan nikal jaaye gi – aur kaanon main – udasi ki aik ajeeb been thi – jese dukh se kisi ki jaan nikal rahi ho. Sir! Bayan nahi ho sakta”

"The best explanation I can give you ----at the end of the day, we all are energy in the form of matter. Sometimes the energy of a given death is so immense that it continues to vibrate beyond time and space with a very high intensity  - and for reasons known or unknown - it coincides with someone's subconscious when it is not suppressed by conscious.  

~ Jese Somalia ke kisi chote se gaaun main bethe kisi shaks ka chota sa radio BBC ki wavelength pakaR le!"

On "going and ending up"

We don't go somewhere,
We end up somewhere
One is a destination,
Other is destined

The Raccoons of Toronto

Toronto is called the "Raccoon Capital of the World".

They were making life miserable for the city by messing up trash cans everywhere looking for their food. Eventually, the city came up with very powerful raccoon proof trash cans. For a while, raccoons start disappearing from the scarcity of food supply. But they re-appeared with the skill to break the so-called foolproof new trash cans!

Zindagi apna rasta khud dhund leti hai!

On 'first few days of soul after death'

"Kiya ye sach hai ke marne ke baad ruh tin din tak hamare aas paas ghumti rehti hai"?

"Koi kehta hai tin din, koi kehta hai chalees(40) din"

"Kiya ye sach hai?"

"Kisi din mar ke dekhain ge! Magar kitaboN main paRha hai, aur buzurgoN se suna hai ke - marne ke 3 din tak ruh is 'confusion' main rehti hai ke woh kis alam main hai? - Aur jin se bohat qareeb hoti hai unhe apne hone ka aehsaas dilalti hai - khawaboN main aake, hawa ki sansanhat se - naam pukar ker...................shayed ye sab cheezain 'event of death' se jo 'energy release' hoti hai, us ka shakhsaana hoti hain - werna ruh ko kab kis ne dekha hai!"

"Phir aesi halat main kiya kerna chahiye"

"Magfrat ki dua" --------- "aur hum ker bhi kiya sakte hain"

On a 'heart-full laughter'

During our residency, we had a choice to do an elective in psychiatry. All residents loved it as it tends to be a lighter rotation. I had a great time, and after a month, I had a completely different view of clinical psychiatry.

One day our attending asked us: "Have you ever laughed so much that it hurt your abdomen, but you still wanted to laugh more?"

Most of us replied: "Yes."

As per him: "If you had that experience even once in your lifetime, your chances of dying via depression and suicide is negligible"!

Today was one day when I laughed with my kids at something that much. I recalled my attending almost after 20 years.

A quote

Last week, I was reading an article from Hoodbhoy on poor prospects of basic sciences in Pakistani universities. I recalled this quote, which has always intrigued me. Link to Hoodbhoy article is here

“I must study Politicks and War that my sons may have liberty to study Mathematicks and Philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematicks and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, musick, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelaine.”

 John Adams, Letter to Abigail Adams, May 12, 1780.
