Despite

I got my promotion letter today, with many compliments and a pay raise.

It was a better than average day, despite everything.

Sigh.

Life's great, except that what really matters.

-

Hollow relationships, and a truckload of egos.

-

I miss chacha very much. I hope I get to meet him soon.

I learnt a new word today.

'Reticent'.

And in that, I've also found a new aspiration.

Adjectives

Disrespectful.

Aggressive.

Unreasonable.

Ungrateful.

Unappreciative.

Hypocrite.

Unapologetic.

Self-righteous.

Over-sensitive.

Spiteful.

Impatient.

And the list goes on for a while...

Lo and behold! Presenting to you, myself.

Ashiyanay ki baat kartay ho
Dil jalanay ki baat kartay ho

Saari duniya ke ranj-o-gham de kar
Muskuranay ki baat kartay ho...

Barbaad dil ka aakhri sarmaya thi umeed
Woh bhi tou tum ne cheen li mujh ghareeb se...

Tum aur fareb khao bayaan-e-raqeeb se
Tum se tou kam gilla hai, zyada naseeb se...
