Excitement Ends In Tears,While Boredom Ends In Fears!

Vacations are just like husbands ..once you get it.. u want to get rid of it...and as soon as u do so.. you start feeling the feeling that there is nothing as comforting as a Shu-band !! [See how much an unarranged spell of hubbies resembles with SHOE ;)]
..I was kinda over excited about college re-opening..[As if it was neva going to open again l0lz] Basically I was excited to meet my source of motivation[who doesnt even know tht she is sumone's source of motivation lol]..And I made myself damn sure about the fake thought of mine that my motivation ..who is a professor..is going to teach me this year..!..I reached the college..Attended all the 5 classes and waited like anything to know who really is going to be my teacher this year…and then…when chemistry time arrived…MR. disappointment came along.. and then the collision : ..Bad feelings surrounded my heart like anything…I felt as if sumthing deep inside me was about to Break….Breaking… and finally Broke!
I never said a word during the class lecture of not-my-desired-teacher ..But later I showed my displeasure to my friends…who were with a feeling that nothing big has happened! Yeah they were true as well ..what’s so immense in not getting the desired teacher [so what if its my last year at college].. or what a big deal if few of our prayers ends in nothing or few of our wishes are not considered eligible enuf to get the status of “WISHES”.. But believe me… even after keeping such frustrated thoughts in my minds…I recalled unintentionally one of my childhood lessons which says ...

“…We are not the creator of ourselves.. God is…and He knows when to do and what to do.. Everything Happens for some good..either to ourselves,or to others .. sometimes a bad moment turns out to be the cause of a life time pleasure… and sometimes.. vise versa …”

.. A wave of ‘something-I-cannot-define’ passed my body…Sudden chill generated with in.. a line of sweat appeared on my upper lip.. so suddenly that I for a moment thought tht how God manages to make this process occur so damn quickly …..I questioned myself..What was that…How could I forget my childhood lessons.. How could I be such a disbeliever or even a doubter! How could I forget how much my past distress made me learn Bad is Good.. So is God.. and so is His decisions…Yes.. So Is His Decisions!!

"Happy 59th Birthday..Dear Pakistan"

Ye watan tumhara hai,
Tum ho pasban is ke,
Ye chaman tumhara hai,
Tum ho naghma-khuaaN is ke,

Ye watan tumhara hai,
Tum ho pasban is ke.

Iss chaman ke phoolon par,
Rang -o- aab tum se hai,
Iss zameen ka har zar'ra,
Aftaaab tum se hai,
Ye fiza tumharee hai,
behr-o-bar tumharey hain,
kehkeshan ke ye jaley,
rehguzar tumharey hain.

ye watan tumhara hai,
tum ho pasban is ke.

Iss zameen kee mitti main,
khoon hai shaheedon ka,
arz-e-pak markaz hai,
qaum kee umeedon ka,
nazam-o-zabt ko apna,
meer-e- karwan jano,
waqt ke andhron mein,
apna qaaf pehchanno.

ye watan tumhara hai,
tum ho pasban is ke.

ye zameen muqaddas hai,
maan ke pyar kee soorat,
iss chaman mein tum sab ho,
barq-o-bar kee soorat,
dekhna gawana mut,
dolat-e-yaqeen logon,
ye watan amanat hai,
aur tum ameN logon.

ye watan tumhara hai,
tum ho pasban is ke.

meer-e-karwan ham thay,
rooh-e-karwan tum ho,
ham to sirf unwaN thay,
asl dastan tum ho,
nafraton ke darwazey
inn pe band hee rakhna,
iss watan ke parcham ko,
sar baland hee rakhna,

ye watan tumhara hai,
tum ho pasban is ke
ye chaman tumhara hai,
tum ho naghma-khwan is ke

Wishing Every Pakistani A Very Very Happy Independece Day!! :-)

Pakistan..Zindabaad!!

“I have never known any distress that an hour's reading did not relieve.”

Reading Novels had never been an Important thing in my life ..before last year..
I was basically a once in a blue moon reader ..
I use to read only when all the other options were closed for me..!
May be because I never considered my interest on choosing a book! Infact..I use to read those books which were roaming in my house...probably others choice!
so particularly I never tried reading my own choice...therefore I lacked interest in them...But since last year holidays were turning out to be kinda boring for me..therefore I decided to purchase some of them.. purely of my own interest.. But, even then I was sure about the fact that I’ll finish them in a year or so..B’coz a really non regular reader I was.. But well..things dint turned out to be the way I thought..I bought home Sophies World ..(and others along with it..but I started from this one).
It is a book which generates in you, all kind of philosophical thoughts...I still remember the first lesson of my life.. which I learned on my own.. was through this book...n that was ..

Happiness Doesn’t rests in materialistic things..[Infact its not a thing]
Its not in living in a luxurious house with servants all around u ...But it is, in feeling at ease , even in a non luxurious house ..
It is not happiness when u speak in a cheerful tone , sitting in an air-conditioned space...In fact the true happiness is cheering and feeling at peace ,without even a fan .. Taking whatever nature offers is happiness....because this is the only bliss which no one can snatch it from you.. Not even bad days.. Not even worse circumstances!Initially I used to consider these wise thoughts as 'Kitabi Batain'…but then I realized that truth surely inhabits in them!

Well then…after reading this book…I started ‘Reading’ like it was my childhood passion.. lol..and believe me.. It helps me in so many ways…Sometimes a trouble skips my mind while reading and sometimes trouble makers ;) And what I’ve observed so far is that..

Not only Time…but Reading is also a great big healer!
