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!!

I donno if i can do all of that, but I am sure I will try!!

.Own a cute cafe/shisha house!! which will always hold a reserved place for me n my buddy!!
.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!! :)

You don't agree, you can't accept.. Your dad tells you shes okay... Shes not gone... Lets you deny the fact till you finally accept it... But what happens when you know that your dad has been struck with a terminal illness, last stage, doctors say he can't live long, he suffers for 2 yrs, he heads on to meet His lord... Dont you cry? Doesnt it hit hard.. It hits hardest!!!! HARDEST!!!! The biggest blow!!! I miss you Pappa!!! In just the blink of an eye, in a breath that we tKe, a breath goes missing, and a person is gone!!!
