A Misty Evening with Nostalgic Effects !!

Nostalgia and Optimism

You might never catch up that flavor of childhood joys and small happenings that made you cry out loud, to live in a moment that you used to be. With the passage of time we learnt the habit of refraining ourselves from having small Fun Moments, and to be at peace with what is going around. This psychological paradigm shift causes us to remain uneasy and keep on regretting what is lost or gone with time.

It is a time to realize that we are going to live in a moment that is all OURS I am just looking at the misty evening from a glass and realizing that I couldn't get my feet out to enjoy the RAIN and Smell of Soil. I didn't feel that urge to be outside and wet my whole being with the raindrops that are coming to give me a moment of forgetfulness. Why it has happened with me as I used to be a person who could go on long walks whenever I saw little clouds at any corner of the sky.

Does it happen due to the gadget filled modern life and the liabilities that are stretching my nerves? Whatever the reason is but I have realized one thing for sure that I am missing ‘Myself ‘and with that I am losing a chance to rejuvenate myself to fight for bigger battles that are happening inside and outside. So what is wrong with having a bath in the showering rain? Does it make me seen as an insane man and if I spend long hours of watching movies or playing game on my laptop then it is just too perfect!

Actually we all are victims of so-called social changes that we like to adopt, and then find an excuse for not able to enjoy small things in life. We keep on waiting for the bigger things and achievements, and forget to live in Present with all its beauty and a chance to nourish our Souls!

It is time to break the rules that we have implemented on ourselves and just keep on looking for small adventures. I want to run across fields without any concept of looking at what others think of me. I want to take slides and turn to swim in streams and to have a ride on bicycle.

I can do it as everyone else can. Only thing necessary is to fight back that modern man’s dilemma to keep on doing best, and pose as the one who is just fit for an executive type personality. Refresh the child inside you, and then you will see how much motivated and active you will be for a normal life, after having an experience like that!

In Memory of Those Who Lost Their Lives in Moments!!

Life gives only chances and sometimes not, and you know we all are sitting on a same platform. We are waiting for our train or flight to depart from this world, full of forgetful joys and long standing miseries and pains. I am continuously thinking over the plane crash that happened last week. Why their destiny was to leave for hereafter while their feet were not on ground? All of Bhoja Air’s passengers and crew members were burnt and broken into pieces, and not a single body was identified that was whole. They were human being like me and you, full of dreams and aspirations. They were facing their own depressions, anxieties, success stories or failures.

Isn’t it a realization by ALLAH that we all are standing on edge of a ridge, and our feet can slip at a blink of eye? Those people who lost their lives were going to land and had packed their baggage’s, and they would be making up set routine plans but ALL Blown up in Sky! Their dreams, problems and all their desperation came to an end. What is left up there is the trial of afterlife….as it is a true fact that we all would forget this incident like earlier in no time, but I think we should sit in some dark corner and replay our own lives in the display theater of our minds. Are we really prepared for that blow of a moment? Anyone could be at their place, and it’s only a fact of life that their time in this material world had ended. But who knows how much time one is left with!

This tragedy has awakened the sense of nothingness and uselessness of all efforts in me. All that hassle for worldly growths, and possessions and making fuss out of everything. What is our real luggage that we can carry for that Eternal life and to present the deeds in front of ALLAH Almighty? Just think over it and realize that our rulers and the whole society are so much involved in that deep-rooted sleep. Our ruling elites think, and I suppose believe that they are not going to die at any moment. They would be given a chance for long to pray for forgiveness to ALLAH, before their departure from this material world. Same is the case with our whole nations. The corruption, injustice, lawlessness and putting someone else in misery seems to have become a pride in daily routines. We have forgotten those last moments, standing at any corner to grab us all. 

Just ponder over the situation and feel sympathy for these criminal and unjust rulers, their allies and corrupt citizens of Pakistan. When their ties would be pulled up, and they may not even have time to ask for forgiveness to ALLAH Almighty. Feel and sympathize for all those Zardaris, Gillanis, Atizaas, Asmas, Haqqanis, Najam Sethis, and that Clerk who asked for bribe from an old widow, who came to transfer her husband’s pension on her name. Her Basic Legal Right!!.....I am feeling so sad and miserable at this point…..
