And Miles to Go Before I die/sleep!!


The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

- Robert Frost, "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"

Amazing piece..

And then by Celine Dion, Miles to go before I sleep..

Such an amazing phrase!

So.. same here.. i know all of this casualness in life is sweet but there is a lot i prefer to do before i hit my deathbed!!

.Write a novel
.Be a top class columnist, own a spot in wknd!! or maybe Friday.. yes, i have high aims..:P i love reading Amar Jaleels column in Dawn magazine, and Ardeshir Cowasjees column too!!
.Be well versed in literature n Islam.
.Have that professional camera.
.Be a radio jockey, host the best show!!
.Catch up with my prose!!! urdu prose only!!
.Have a reknowned blog! :P
.Be a Newyorker, if only for few days to see whats it like in the Fifth avenue!

I think abhi tak I am up for all these, but one lifes too short to accomplish it all, what say!!

There are miles and smiles to go before I sleep..
Wish me all the best.. i need it!! :)

Memoirs Reborn!!!

"Jiya, beta what do you think of this purple suit?," Zareena Begum asked her 18 year old Jiya.

"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.
