A Lazy Day…

Just a usual morning. I am sitting in my office right now, and my mind is a hotchpotch of so many ideas. The weather is pleasant today alhamdulillah. It’s cloudy and breezy! Don’t know if it would rain today…
There are so many things on my mind, that I seriously feel the need to unclutter it. Just a while ago a student came for some counselling. Now this is something I myself am in great need of all the time :D … Okay, I am not revealing any details of that matter here because it was her personal problem :)
I am thinking of doing many things right now! I am thinking of getting up and make myself some tea. I am thinking of going home by the public bus and not keep on waiting for the van which is going to leave at 2 pm! I am thinking of pulling something out of the reading stack which is increasing in size with every passing day. But this is all in my head right now and due to the extreme laziness that I am feeling at the moment, I don’t think any of my mental plans are likely to materialise right now. I am constantly being reminded of a couplet by Mir Taqi Mir:
majnu ki ye haalat he ke pehro~ pas-e diivaar
beThe he to beTha he khaRa he to khaRa he
:( I hope to get out of this state in as short a while as possible, inshaAllah!

@ Saeed bhai:
I actually didn't go by the public bus ... :( kept on waiting for my private transport :( ... Thanks for visiting the blog.

@ Umer:

I wish we could emulate our akaabireen (or at least make an attempt to) when it comes to time management!

I'm glad you didn't...would have probably only ruined an already weird day.

My pleasure. :)

Speed-breakers

I have been thinking of resuming writing for quite some time now and today I finally mustered up the courage to visit the 'create post' page of my blog. I feel a certain anxiety knocking  down my senses at the moment. Writing used to come so naturally once and now it comes with effort. What is good about it is that it is still has not abandoned me altogether. Like old friends, who have all gone about their ways, it still, at times, comes back and reminds me of the connection we once shared. All good things eventually come to an end - I just hope that does not happen with me and writing, at least not until this transient life comes to an end... What prompted me to write down this post after such a long time is my recent meeting with one of my teachers, with whom I had absolutely lost contact during the last five years. Life is very demanding. Its phases, very complicated. The responsibilities it encumbers us with, endless...  زندگی تیرے تعاقب میں یہ لوگ  اتنا چلتے ہی...

Company - Ba-gul Nashistan

Company or more specifically suhbah is a phenomenon whose effects are difficult to describe. There is this teacher of mine who always says that 'environment is silent speech' and I always used to think how right he was... The effects and impacts are so subtle that one does not even notice how one gets transformed without noticing it ever. There are few verses by Shaykh Sa'adi (rahimahullah) that I came across in a book called, Bayt ki haqeeqat . I am compelled to write them on my blog. The poetry is extremely beautiful and rhythmic. Someone who has ever experienced such company would testify to the truth contained in the verses of this hikaayat . Gili khushbooi dar hamaam roozi Raseed az dast-e-mahboobi ba-dastam Be-oo guftam keh mushki ya 'abeeri Keh az boo-e dil-aaweez e tu mastam Be-oo gufta, man gil-e naacheez boodam Wa-leekin muddati ba-gul nashistam Jamaal-e hum-nasheen dar man asar kard Wa gar na man hamaan khaakam keh hastam [One day in a hamaam* , I g...
