Memoirs Reborn!!!

"Jiya, beta what do you think of this purple suit?," Zareena Begum asked her 18 year old Jiya. Jiya, who was busy ooh-ing and aah-ing at a mannequin drifted her her eyes away from the suit the mannequin wore to the purple sequinned suit her mother held in her hand. "Aww Mom, its awesome, btw, we never clash in our choices, do we??!!," Jiya replied immediately. And Zareena Begum beamed, "Still beta , its you who will be wearing it after marriage not me," she chuckled, and kissed her lovely and only child on the forehead. She was blessed, and Jiya thought she couldn't be more blessed. ****************************************************** "Jiya, did you try out that eye liner??," Zareena Begum was always worried about Jiya and her not so womanly ways. "Errmmm. No," Jiya hesitated. "But beta , you should try out, only one month left before I send you off to Asif's, what would Asif say??" "Mom, its easy..Asif?? he

Shukran Lillah!!! =)

YESSSSSS!!!! I graduated today.. :) I really can't thank Allah... the type of exams I took, and the way I took them, it was just as if I was least bothered (when I actually wasn't), though I regretted taking them that way, but MashaAllah I succeeded.. God is merciful beshak!! And I had to check it out myself online.. it was scary, last time I checked online I was 6th in my city.. :P this time I still donno what marks I got or where I stand, for the time I know I passed.. And that is what really mattered.. BTw, there is a flash I had written, will inshaAllah put it up tomorrow.. Thanks for reading!!

Thankfulness!!

Just writing here cuz I think I must, or else my mind will go nuts.. I am screwed today!! I just thought that ofcourse everyone doesn't have what they want, most people lose what or whom they have, yet they have other things, other bounties.. some people don't have even those bounties.. Man is so selfish that if Allah takes either of his assumed possessions man can't stand it. Man thinks God has snatched it away, but man never realizes that it was God who had given such lovely gifts. What if God had decided never to give those gifts in the first place?? Then what?? How'd he miss them had he not received them?? Its hard thinking that way, its so impossible..Man is man after all, entirely human, but one should try thinking that way.. Sometimes I am scared that I am ungrateful to God.. Yet, I know I am not.. I can't thank Him enough for what He gave me.. done!!! I wish I understand more of it though!!

Sky!

O Sky!!! You are lucky even though many people just consider you something flat above them, but literally, you are lucky, so what if you are not Ashraf, atleast you are high.. position wise..but seriously speaking, you have got those clouds, you can cry whenever you want to, and no one even laughs at you, or I guess they do, coz everyones happy when it rains..even me..I am sorry.. And you don't need people around you, because you have the sun and all its warmth.. out on earth, even people are cold, rude.. so u see, you are going in +ve. And that isn't all, you are so vast, limitless like the sea, that anything can be absorbed by you, if we had a heart like you, it wouldn't be so hard.. And ofcourse, you had the full moon tonite.. hidden amongst the clouds.. you always get to choose whether earthlings should see it or not.. I think I'm jealous of you..you have got everything.. you can see all that goes on rite from the top..you can cry as muh as you want, you always hav

Lost!

"You must get these medicines, go down the road and you'll see the pharmacy, also get two syringes..Be quick, we don't have much time, she needs to be injected as soon as possible" Lil Karim nodded enthusiastically. He looked in the dirty pockets of his gray kurta , there was a folded handkerchief, he had tied rs 2000 carefully in a knot in that hanky. Just yesterday Maa had gotten her monthly pay. And here she was lying on a bed in the general ward of a gov't hospital. Is that what a person who works so hard as Maa get for a gift, when I was 5, and got admitted to school, Maa got me a big red ball, such a nice gift, and why did Maa get this?? Karim, though just merely 10 years old had thoughts deep and profound. He ran off, his dusty kurta flying in the air, the rubber chappal he wore were on the verge of tearing apart, but did that matter to Karim??.. Karim ran amidst the people, since he was just 10, not much big either, people weren't letting him go ah

What Man Needs to Live??

"59 minutes past three, and with this track, our show "Midnite Karachi" ends...Fee AmaanAllah"... Nadya switched off her FM radio, tucked the mobile in her purse..yeah purse.. Usually she kept it on her side table after setting the alarm, but today she tucked it in her purse. She slid her feet in to the slippers she just bought last week with Mama. Slow and steady she took the steps, towards the door.. Each step reminded her of the those past steps.. Steps she took when she was three, running all round this very room, steps when she had no place to go but Mama's room. She peeped in the corridor, hm..lights off..she moved faster, thoughts swirling in mind. If only Mama could've convinced Baba, would she be running away. She got admission in that high tech uni, she studied all those years for this.. no job, no freedom, noown feeling of work!! she moves faster, she already packed her suitcase. The bag Baba kept in the hallway after summer trip.. No one knew and
