Love, hate and indifference

Slippery slope

 Main aur Naeem Mohsin medical college ke dost the bulke class fellow the. Hum ne saath saath USMLE ki tayyari ki. Saath saath America aaye. phir Chicago main bhi saath rahe - residency ki. Us ke baad alag ho gaye....woh Chicago reh gaya. Meri la-ubali tabiyaat mujeh dusre shahron le gai...

Aur phir aik dusre ke phone number bhi kho gaye...

....barson yun beete jese bus abhi palkain jhapki hon..... aur ye khabar bijli ban ke giri ke Naeem Mohsin ne Chicago main khud kushi ker li....

2 din tak main kuch sochne ke qabil na tha. Zindagi ke 10-12 baras saath guzare the. Achha khasa samjhdar aadmi tha. 

Kab kahan kahani main kesa moR aaya kisi ko khabar na hui. 

Doston ne bataya - Us ne saare doston se raabte toR liye the...har kisi se jhagra kerne laga tha ....biwi bachhe bhi choR ke chale gaye....peeche Pakistan se bhi ghar walon ne nate toR liye....

........kab kis zehni bimari ka shikar hua - aur kiun huwa - pata na laga... 

license bhi haat se chala gaya... paise khatam ho gaye...kisi shelter main panah li

...aur phir aik raat khudkushi ker li...

Ye zindagi bhi bari kutti cheez hai. Aik dafa 'slippery slope' pe paun phisal jaaye to phir sambhalne nahi deti. Ye koi pehli dafa to nahi huwa. Ye blog aesi kahanion se bhara paRa hai...

.. apne doston se milte rahiye. Zindagi ke kis muqam pe kis ko kis ke sahare ki zaroorat paR jaaye, kiya malum.

(In the United States - on average - one physician commit suicide every day)

rafu - gulzar

تھوڑا سا 
!!رفو کر کے دیکھیئے نا 
پھر سے نئی سی لگے گی ....
 زندگی ھی تو ھے 

 *گلزار*
ThoRa sa 
rafu ker ke dekhiye na 
......phir se nai si lage gi 
zindgii hi to hai

Gulzar

The best line!

I was advised years ago - and it helped me always. 

If someone is going through any kind of grief, the best thing to say: "I am not sure if I can share your grief as my words may not heal everything, but I AM HERE for anything you need".

Is say ziyada dilasa aur kuch bhi nahi  - ke kisi ko ye yaqeen ho ke - aap waqt pe mojoud the 

- werna aik insaan to dusre insaan ke liye patta bhi nahi hila sakta

on Facebook and old friends

 On Facebook, we connect to many friends and acquaintances from our long long gone past years of child and younghood. In many cases, we feel it would have been better we would not have bump again - as people grow on different axes over decades.

Devine, humans, acts and signs

 Devine writes the first act. Humans write the second. In between comes the signs. Watch it strikes.
