Life is…My thoughts…

While reading testimonials of people on Orkut, i always wonder how people can manage to write those sugar coated words and sentences. I tried it so many times but my little knowledge of English seems to end where that sweetness starts . Anyways nothing much against it, i actually enjoy reading all that stuff. Just a thought that how people do that .

After dinner i went for a walk and thought about calling a school time friend whom i haven’t talked to since last 8-9 months. Oh man i don’t know how fast did that 1 hour go. we talked so much of old stuff. Our classmates, teachers, tuitions taken together and so much. It has been 10 years since i left the school. And it took us a while to recall the names of all the guys and places they belonged to. So much of fun collecting those old beautiful moments. Came to know about some other folks like what they are doing ? Some of them are married and even have kids . It was a wonderful sweet 1 hour. Made my day !

Today morning i opened my laptop and was checking BBC website and the first news was the great poet Ahmed Faraz is no more He died after a protracted illness.

His ghazal ranjish hi sahi… rendered by Mehdi Hasan became a masterpiece. Faraz once said that Mehdi has sung it so beautifully that now it belongs to him. He will always be remembered for his great poetry.

May his soul rest in piece. Here are few links to his poetry on one of my blog and urdupoetry.com
