Everything is Interlinked

The following material was written in December, 2010.

There is no such thing as a coincidence, everything happens for a reason. Introvert or extrovert, social or isolated, we all make and depend on interactions. Interactions are an essential part of relationships, we are all related, somehow or the other. No matter how many differences, we are in some way the same.

There are some-things that are better left unsaid, but there are some-things that need explanation. 
"There is a time to be quiet, then there is a time to speak".
Whenever there is something wrong, a voice should always be raised. A permanent solution never arrives until you reach the root of the problem. 

Tolerance is one of the most under-rated topics in any conversation. You don't have to be an opportunist to avail it. All you need is a balanced consideration and a broad mentality. In today's world, we all live in a diverse society. Some isolate while others adapt. Just like giving time to every priority in life on a daily basis, we can take out the good things in people and channel out the negativity. Empathy is what's required here. It all comes down to character. 

I`d rather die today a man with character, than tomorrow without it.

In these daily psychological battles we declare on the world, why not focus on the real problems and come up with potential solutions? If we cannot be human, we do not deserve to be Muslim, Christian or a Jew.
Every action has an opposite and equal reaction'. 
This is one law of physics I`d bet my life on. Times are calling for change, times are calling for epic achievements.

Feelings

To be honest; there are reasons
quite a few
To be Machiavelli; there are aspects,
fairly new...


Yes, I am quiet a character. Can't find words to describe my current feelings. But I shall try.


"Why does life have to be so complicated?"
My perspective: 
'Gossip Gossip, nigga just stop it'. 


Buddha once said, "You are what your thoughts are". In that case, life's not complicated mate, you are. Everything is out there. The history books have laid down the rules. Then why this sudden surprise? You only feel it when you experience it. A strong and broad mentality leads to a richer experience of life. اشرف المخلوقات . If we are the best species among all, then why all these problems? Because we're not perfect, or else we would have been called 'perfect beings'. Alas, we only human. 


Love is the ultimate feeling. I`d place a crown on its head (if it had one) and rank it above all others. But whats necessary is the aspects of 'doing things right' and 'doing the right things' in love. I`m too confusing, I`ll let  شاہ جی make it simpler,


No further explanation necessary.

The Peak

The following material was written on 9th December, 2010.

Its the same time of the year again. Explanation? Visualize it yourself. 

Feels good when everything starts to make sense. Turning every problem into an opportunity, I take pleasure in turning everything life throws at me into a disciplined situation and laugh at its face. 

Of course there are situations that you don't wanna be in life. I`m only human. But isn't this the same human that has transformed the way we live and taken it to a whole new level? Everybody have their peaks and declines in life. But a person like me has a habit of consistently peaking. You might say, 
'what goes up, must come down'. 

But I have an example that breaks the glass jaws every time, سید محمّد

Mr. Muhammad Abdullah. All his majesty did was win. Secret ingredient of success? 
  • Love, 
  • patience 
  • and modesty.
I don't mind listing down all the qualities down but they are beyond time & space, which unfortunately we all don't have. 

Time is limited, but we're not. For us, the sky's the limit. Nobody cares about what you did yesterday, what matters is what you are today. So let's keep our eyes on the stars & our feet on the ground and move ahead in life on to the next one.

سفر نامہ

A walk in the 'Rawal' Park : سفر نامہ
عریاں موہللہ سے افشاں کالونی تک  
  

عریاں موہللے سے بہار نکل کر جب مری روڈ پر نظر پھیری تو صرف گاڑیاں ہی گاڑیاں نظر آییں. سوچا اس بھیڑ میں جتنی دیرکرایے کی ٹیکسی میں لگے گی اتنی 
The statute of Tipu Sultan infront of
'Askari Welfare Trust' or AWT Building.

 ہی دیر پیدل بھی لگ جاےگی تو کیوں نا عقل کی سنی جائے .
میری منزل تھی صدر
. راستے میں جنگ اخبار کا دفتر گزرا. سوچا ضرور نیی منحوسیت پھیلا رہے ہونگے اپر بیٹھ کر. مریڑ چوک سے سیدھے ہاتھ کی طرف مڑ گیا. کیمیکل /گیس فیکٹری سے کچھ قدم پہلے ایک بڑھا جوڑا کھڑا تھا. ایک وین آیی جو کے مسافروں سے بھری ہوئی تھی. یہ دیکھ کر شوہر تو اندر بیٹھنے کے لئے چل پڑا پر بیوی کے چہرے پر ایک مایوسیت نمایاں ہو گیی جو بیان نہیں کی جا سکتی.
تھوڑا آگے چلا تو ڈینس سکول آ گیا جس کی چٹھی ہو چکی تھی. اس کے باہرایک بزرگ جو کے پچاس کے آس پاس کے ہوں گے . اپنے شاندار استری ہوے ٣ پیس سوٹ میں موٹر سائکل پر سوار نظر ہے. پر انکی بے قسمتی یہ تھی کے شاید انکی بایک کا پیٹرول ختم ہو چکا تھا اور وہ اس پی لگاتار جھٹکے مار رہے تھے.
تھوڑے ہی فاصلے پر ایک نو جوان نظر آیا جس کی داڑھی تھی. اس کی نظریں مسلسل نیچی رہیں پر اس کے چہرے پر اک عجیب خوشگوار قسم کی ہسی تھی. جس میں شرارت اور معصومیت کا شگل تھا

کشمیر روڈ پر میرا سیدھا سفر تھا. وہاں کامران مارکیٹ سے اگلے چوک کی طرف جاتے ہوے دو نو جوانو کو دیکھا جو سائکل پر سوار تھے. دونو نے حکومتی سکول کا یونیفارم پہنا ہوا تھا. پیچھے بیٹھا ہوا لڑکا جو کے ١٥ ، ١٦ سال کا ہو گا. اس کے چہرے پی مجھے اک پریشانی سی نظر آیی. . شاید وہ انہی مراحل سے گزر رہا ہے جو ہم سب اپ نی نو جوانی سے گزرتے ہیں
Something that I like to call, 'teenage confusion'.


زیبرا کراسنگ کی پابندی کرتے ہوے سڑک سے گزرا اور پہلے ٢٠ پھر ٤٠ روپے کی مونپھلی خریدی. ساتھ ٢٠ روپے کی ریوڑی بھی . شام پڑ گیی اور میں مال روڈ پہنچا.
. 

ہیر ڈریسر (نائی نہیں ) کے پاس جا کر کٹنگ کروائی. عامر خان کے الفاظ میں " بال بھی کٹے ہیں اور پتا بھی نہیں چلا ہے
  
فریسکو سویٹس سے ٤ کیمے کے اور ٣ سبزی کی سموسے لئے اور چل پڑا تکسی سٹینڈ کی طرف. انکی آفر ٨٠ روپے. میری التجا ٦٠ روپے. نہیں مانے. نا سہی. میں چل پڑا مزید پیدل. ایم . ایچ. والے اشارے پر دو ٹرافک پولیس والوں کو سلام کیا اور سڑک پار کی .
 راستے میں "پاکستان ہماری پہچان " کا بورڈ دیکھ کر خوشی ہوئی . اپنے سٹریٹیجک  منیجمنٹ کے کونسپٹس تارو تازہ کرتے کرتے میں اسکری ١١ کے پاس پہنچا. اور باقی سفر اسی سوچ میں گزر گیا کے کیا واقعی میں عریاں موہللہ سے افشاں کالونی پیدل چل آیا ہوں ؟

The Breeze

This material was written on the 26th of November, 2010
 


The smell of the morning, the atmosphere, the absence of darkness... the essence, no wonder why Mr. Bukhari Sr. has been sarcastically telling me to wake up early since as far as I can remember.

22 years, is there still a chance of a revival? Well mankind revived itself after Jesus and Mohammad came. Well, kind of.

Dressed up like a gentleman, rarely wearing a V-neck, sleeveless sweater, soaking under the sun.... while the trees enjoy the breeze outside. 

الحمدللہ  , life's good. To be honest, slowly but surely I think I`m finally cracking the code of the mystery called life. I know the wanna-be 'intellectual' Mr. Bukhari has a lot to see in life, انشاء الله, but when I look around, the beauty, the politics, the history, the people.... they're constantly shaping me.... of what I am becoming or is to become. 

The only  thing I`m afraid of is myself. No, this is not blasphemy, when I think of my love, my friend, my الله, all I can think of is love... Don't ye remember the quotation,

"Its better to be feared, than loved".
 How can I fear someone who loves me more than 70 mums. Science still can't define a mother's feelings. Maybe that's why the advocates discard God altogether. Fuck them, they are the least I`m bothered about. What about this atheist inside me?

Oh Ali, how did you do it? How did you jump into the ocean of love and become the ocean itself? No wonder they call you, پیروں کا پیر ، علی. Such boldness, such wisdom, such perfectly clear state of mind. You were a real man. You may not be with us physically, but spiritually and mentally you are still alive and always will be till the day of judgment. Few men have changed the rules of the world by their actions throughout history, but you redefined the meaning of love. 
Muhammad gave you a garden, you turned it into a park. God bless.
