Baat se Baat - I

“Phir?”“Phir kya?”“Phir kuch nahi. Tum apni zindagi main apni jaga bana lo. Us kay baad meri jaga nahi rahegi.”“Tumhe lagta hai kay main tumhe kabhi yad nahi karun ga?” “Karogay na, bilkul karogay. Akele bethe cigarette peete hue, meri yaad ubhre gi jo us dhuwein k sath hi hawa main tehleel hojaye gi. Ya phir sardion ki kisi raat main koyle jalate hue, kisi chingari ki tarha jis tezi se bharkay gi,...

Anesthesia

Thousands of miles away from home, I learn a new lesson each day. Life has never taught me at this speed like it does now. Embodying myself with experiences has made me a bit lost in my own life. I made new relations, lost old ones under 6-feet while being away in the desert. I want to lose...

Sheharbano ka Yousuf

"I always tell people that it's eyes in the human body that decides my communication and connection with other person. It's true. Nobody knows, how I keep falling in love again and again only because the way you look at me."Tum dekhte ho tau yun lagta hai, is kainaat main mujh sa koi haseen nahi. Mere naseeb, tumhari nazron ki peimaish sirf aur sirf mere liye hai......bhala kahan se koi aisi...

Only because.....

Dear Express Tribune, The nation doesn’t need to know what’s cooking in PM Gilani’s kitchen. So you better keep rubbish aside and don’t let it be the decoration of your newspaper. Fizza Batool is PM Yusuf Raza Gilani's daughter, doesn't mean Pakistani Press has the right to bring her personal life in the light. Who knew her till Express Tribune published this.Media lost it long ago, and Express Tribune...

Mola Ali ibn e Abi Talib A.S.

The zeal and virtue of Ali were never outstripped by any recent proselyte. He united the qualifications of a poet, a soldier, and a saint; his wisdom still breathes in a collection of moral and religious sayings; and every antagonist, in the combats of the tongue or of the sword, was subdued by his...

Spilling Beans

Coffee, which was my once a week ritual, has become a deadly addiction.I always avoided addictions; for me it’s too much of dependency. But on this trip, it seems whatever I have avoided in past is unavoidable.I avoided past, but it rose randomly. I avoided strangers; they catch me accidently.I avoided...

Innocence

I asked Ash if she would like to come along with me to get a match-box from my place. We both started talking about why her father comes late from work and how she detests it. Me: Jab papa late hote hain office se tau aap unka intezar karti ho?Ash: Ye intezar kya hota hai? I looked at her in awe and...

Caught in Catastrophe

I am not heartless or empathetic nor am I saying that Pakistan Army isn’t doing enough for flood victims. It is a mega disaster of history. But looking at this picture, made me think how one can catch a food bag thrown from such a height? Chances are that bag will burst and float in the flood water,...

Sponsoring Suicide

If you have any intentions of committing suicide, let Pakistan sponsor you. The whole country is hit by natural and un-natural disasters. First it was only Talibans and their jackets, which can blow you into pieces. In return, you family gets meager amount of compensation and that too after struggling...

General Knowledge

"Main janti hun tumhe aur mujhe ek dusray k baray main ziada janne ki zarurat tau nahi hai magar phir bhi yun hi aksir ye khayal aata hai kay ab tum kaise ho?Kya tum aaj bhi Lata k ganay sun kar wo raaten yaad karte ho jab main gaati thee aur tum hans kar kehte they, Lata ki taang torna band karo. Jaante ho us k baad kitne hi roz maine ainay k samne khare ho kar wo gaana gaaya hai. Ab tau aisi aadat...

Soccer can be sour !!!

Countries have border conflicts, political conflicts, military conflicts, resource conflicts but who can have a soccer conflict?Egypt has it. Before coming to Cairo, I thought country is at cross with Israel only. But I was so wrong. They are extremely sour when it comes to Algeria after facing bloody defeat at FIFA 2010 qualifying matches. The best soccer team of Africa kicked out by Algeria in one...

Advocating Fadlallah

Many a times, when people are alive, we don’t get the chance to tell them how do we perceive them or what influence do they have on our lives. So when they pass away, the emotional insurgency takes place, compelling us to let the world know how we feel. That is what exactly happened when Ayatollah Fadlallah...

Dear John

Saying that, you won't go to the extent where you can hurt me isn't enough. You have already hurt me in a manner, which was never invented.Or may be you were right, am too fragile. Sadly, nobody yet has come to know how to handle me with care. For once I thought, it's you who might do but then again am bad with judgment and too quick to decide.Thank you for teaching me a lesson. From now onwards,...

Short on thought !!

Every morning, the last dab of lip color remind her of the tasteless touch she had with him but still no harm to look good. While putting up her lip color and making a peach outline, she suddenly remembered that it’s her turn today for the cab. After finishing the only make up she does, she checked her wallet and found that she carries no change. She hushed the thought by deciding to give the larger...

But, no, it was written in all good spirits. Actually,...
