Mad People!

“How is she today?” he asked from her parents..
“Fine, she didn’t talk to the walls today”..
“Good” he said, going to her room..

He saw her sitting by the window looking out with a thread in her hand, as if deep in thought. Her psychiatrist knocked on the door and entered with a cheery atmosphere and said “well last appointment…makes me sad…what's going on?"
She kept on staring without answer. He was used to such patients but she somehow seemed different…he looked at the thread on her finger and asked “what's that?”
*No answer*.
He asked again.. on that she answered “this finger” .. 
She held out her index finger:

“suppose this finger is me, the segments are the stages of life,child,adult,old age..and this thread…” she  held out the thread and said” suppose it is is life now see..” she started to coil the thread on her finger the lower had less turns but the upper tip had more turns..the turns increased with stage. In the end she looked at me and said “it will turn purple,that shows pain and finally death…due to pain”.


He looked at the finger, thought for a while then held out his index finger and said “that’s me” he started to coil the thread in such a way that he had half of the thread on his finger: “we share the pain, now you have less pain” he smiled at her “life is good or in your case less painful if you have people or who care about you and that can make you happy or less purple” on that they laughed..


she thought then said “we can never die..we just change forms, sand then plant then animal then human again and so on…” she uncoiled the thread and said “see? the finger remains…if I can see two of me without a mirror, if I can go to places without moving, if I can see things , which according to most of you don’t exist , the I can surely not get finished.”

You are Unique just like every cloud on the sky is..

 “I have a soul in me, when I feel it , I feel supreme power and no worry and when I see my reflection I get scared , because that is my body , which is the devil, which can feel pain…”
he smiled impressed and answered “well I'm going to miss all the philosophy, you have recovered well, now I wont be your psychiatrist, official appointments are over, but as I promised you I will come meet you…unofficially” he winked at her and left.

While he was on his way home he thought “how can a mad person know all this?... maybe they aren’t mad…they are just unique…”

Imran Khan and Eid !

So a break from writing turned out to be a good thing! Every word I was writing was becoming more obvious, everything I wanted to write was the same I'd said previously. I feel like writing now, I feel like writing alot.

Today was my last exam and thanks to Allah all of them went fine., although I know I could have done better in the exams but the small errors and laziness let me down this time. Instrumentation and Measurements was a cake but I didn't read the paper carefully and end up solving the values wrong of a numerical, that might cost me five marks. Engineering materials was the same thing, my friend keep on requesting me to read the formula of a question which I had written down in my notes but I was thinking that it'll be the same questions in the exams which my teacher has mentioned. The Computer Programing was easy but I'm unable to understand the loops and how to make triangles out of it. Keeping in mind that these are perhaps my most important exams I'm satisfied.

Eid is approaching and this time I'm in no mood to celebrate it. What's the point of celebrating Eid when you don't have any of your cousins and relatives in the city. Most of the time we go to our village but that's not the case this time around! But then my Eid starts the day I go back home. This time I'm going to buy the Vampire Diaries series and read as much as I can. I could not finish the Eleven Minute as my copy had a few pages missing,I hope I get those missing pages.

I read many news papers and I keep myself always upto date with the political situation of the country I've never been too much into politics myself. 31st October was the day when I had my first exam and i was really tense, I just opened the live streaming of Express News, there was the a rally and 'Jalsa' organized by the Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaaf, which is led by the famous and greatest Cricketer, Imran Khan. Technically speaking I'm a member of PTI and I know that most of the youth support Imran Khan, but the  Lahore rally was a breakthrough for sure. I have never in my life seen such enthusiasm in the youth or the people, I myself, following it on the TV felt so proud of everything as If It was something related to me, all the social networks and the people there were excited, people from all over the world were following it and a crowd of 500000 was present in which there were mostly youngsters and families at Minar-E-Pakistan and Imran Khan did not disappoint us, and gave a memorable speech. Such a high level success was astonishing for everyone but I'm pretty hopeful its the beginning of a change, a new start from where the next generation and youth of Pakistan will take over InshaAllah :)

When I talk about myself I'm happy with my progress, I haven't been able to achieve what I wanted to but still I have not let things get out of hand! still a long way to go..I have not been able to buy a website uptill now due to visa card issues hope it gets solved as soon as possible.

Eid Mubarak to Everyone! May Allah bless you.. :)
