Today 27 Jan 2014 is
my birthday , today I have lost one more year of my life ,and gained one more
year of my life ,usually on my birthday
colleagues at my office contribute and bring a cake , my Seth a young man , treats me with
respect and I have no other responsibilities
except what ever I think would fancy me
on that day , so on days I act as
chowkidar , sit on his stool all day , on other day I simply occupy the manager chair , and because of my Seth , they complain but only to themselves as I intrude on their Job responsibilities , but the Seth respects
me so much , so they cannot do anything about it , except bear me , ………and now
after years , I am just an eccentric
entity somewhat colorful , but at
time dangerous for I do not want to brag , but I have gone god
damn honest , I do not take any wages ,
except daily wages and only for the work
I do , so If I work 2 hrs I ask for 2 hrs of wages , and if 8 the 8 hrs of wages ,Seth has many time tried to fix something Monthly , but I have strongly
refused .
I live a self imposed
isolated existence , have leaved all and
every one , after an accident which was
the closest a man can get with death ,
infact I believe I had tasted death , as
during that experience I saw my dead body with my own eyes , while
hovering over , went through the proverbial “ tunnel “
spoke in some strange language with some unknown being and returned , and the next three months in
the most tiring and trying circumstances
.
Now I live an Old lady ,Amma Bi , who has graciously allowed me One room in her house , where all I
have is a 12inch Fat Mattress , its good
quality , for even years of use ,
sometime I laid on it for days…there isn’t a single
dent in it , its still as smooth as new , two three pillow , around 6-8 dresses , one
pair of shoes , one Chappal , another
pair of kind open shoe , two towels , one Chair , a half table , a few
books , one Rug filling all the room …..and
I call this room my “ khooli “ … usually
I go out around 12 am including Sundays …and return around 12 Pm , have breakfast as a local Pathan Hotel , and in the evening something as dinner ,
from Kathiwari chooleys , to Biryani , to Bun Kabab , to
burger , to Chinese Rice , to Soups , to Bheel Puri , to Zinger , to Fish , to
any thing that fancies me that day and is within my budget of that days wages , it’s a simple life , no complication
, just bidding my time .
That one incident changed my life , from a pretty
gregarious merry happy go lucky and Friend
of every one kind , I shut myself down in my own cocoon of existence , an Isolated
far away from every one , even my Family , my father , my mother , my
wife , my children every one ,the reason is simple I feel betrayed , because
in the most tiring circumstance , while
after the accident , I lost every thing , my Business , money , and worst the trust in every one , and now I live all alone
I do not want to make any friends, though other try , but
are stonewalled from my side , for I do not want myself to have any
expectations from any one , often people
are perplexed and now they have declared me eccentric , kinda mad , but that’s the way things are
now …
I tried to get involved my myself only , and that is pretty
selfish of me , but it’s a well considered , for some maybe wrong thing
, but for me its what it is now ,
I know , when I will die , no one except may be
Eidhi or some other similar organization will bury me , or maybe my
family , for I have from then held no expectations from any one , and if any one tries to “ instill sense “ in me to return to normal
life , he get the shock of his life , when I put him on the ignore list and
ultimately his sympathy wave dies
out and he leaves me alone .
Just out of boredom , I to preoccupy myself , without any commitment tried a hand at
blogging , my blogs was in Roman Urdu ,
at one time it was pretty popular ,then I discovered my Punjabi Roots , and
started seeing things in a new perspective , then it dawned on me , that the
people around me , the Karachi people , the
Urdu speaking people are the most racist and bigoted one , spare one or
two , it led me to do a bit of research
on my Punjabi origin and I discovered
that we Punjabis are trapped in a deception , but that’s another story , since
that day , I stopped writing blog in Roman
Urdu ….and now its after Ages I have written anything for my blog
So this is something I have written after a very very
long time …. And its not for any one , its just for myself…
