Why?
Court declared him innocent after 19 years. But he was already dead 2 years ago; after spending 17 years in jail for nothing. His father died during court proceedings. His two uncles died. He died too. Good riddance, he thought. Up above the heavens, God was happy that he has come back to Him. All…

I’m You.
Nothing has changed. Maybe a little, but not really. I would insist on standing correctly. I still wake up as a believer. A man of faith. With the passing of the day, the belief system transforms – evolution or devolution. It adopts more of atheism. By the night, its agnosticism that wins. And then, it…

Marriage
Before questioning someone’s marriage, you should question the institution of marriage itself. How was it formed? Why was it made? And how the world was operating before this system? Isn’t it strange that almost all civilizations and religions adopted marriage by default – with a little this and that? Why? How people lived otherwise? Were…

The Need of Validation
Most of the times, you know you are wrong. Guilty. But still, you want a person to tell you that you are right, and that person is all right with you. Friends usually cover this aspect of life for you. You tell them your state – with or without missing pieces of information that makes…

Even when served. At parking lot. In events. At functions. At sessions. In weddings. Even in your own wedding.…

The Insignificant Other
چن کِتھاں گُزاری آئی رات وے مینڈھا جی دلیلاں دے وات وے Dearest! where did you spend the night? My heart may need proofs to calm down. Every rendition of this couplet is sad because the meaning is sad and the whole scenario is as dark as the night when reasoning is trying to hurt.…

Tragedy
When you get to know that the previous tragedy was way better than this current one, then you realize… you realize that… nothing. Nothing matters. Except tragedies. There should be music. And dance. Yes, in tragedies. Feeling nostalgic about the ex-tragedy is a tragedy in itself. By the way, what’s not tragedy? You are a…

The Eternal Nightmare of Being – II
Emotional meltdown. Disappointment. Disappointed. All kept under the carpet with a façade of all’s good. All’s not good. Not since… let’s say since the first rhyme in the right ear. The destination was defined. Step by step to catastrophe of self. To annihilation of the existence. Unbeing of being. Then there is this need to…

The Eternal Nightmare of Being
No one can know what it is to be you.No one can know what it is to be me. To me.How hard is it? How bad? How tough? How rough? Can there be happiness? Eternal sunshine? Perpetual peace? Silence? We are defined by the choices we make. And the choices we let go. Both. I…
