اپنی مٹی ہی پہ چلنے کا سلیقہ سیکھو سنگ مرمر پہ چلو گے تو پھسل جاؤ گے

“You can feel the whole world and still feel lost in it. So many people are in pain - no matter how smart or accomplished - they cry, they yearn, they hurt … We all want the same things: comfort, love, and a peaceful heart.”

— Mitch Albom (via naturaekos)

Since i wasnt allowed to go out in the afternoon, my grandfather used to play cricket with me. After waking up from the after-school nap, i always looked forward to it. He had a problem with his knee, so he couldnt walk properly. We used to play in our lounge where his takht used to be. He slept on a takht for most of his life. He used to bowl and bat while sitting there only. Whenever i used to get out, i just used to plead him for giving me another chance, and he used to oblige. Always laughed hard when I did that. We played in a close room and my grandfather was really no opponent, but he made it look like real. Used to be so happy when i used to dance after scoring a four against him. Those were the simpler and happier times. My grandfather is no more but i still vividly remeber him bowling to me. I have not been good to him at times, and today I cannot regret it more. It is just horrible how cruel time is. I always wish to meet him one last time and just spend the whole time asking for forgiveness.

I don’t know how I feel. What I feel. Today has been so frustrating. I have felt this way for the first time probably. There seem to be no end to this problem. It is suffocating me now. The problem is, i dont know where this frustration is emanating from. The fact that i feel stuck (quarter life crisis probably) or may be it is just that I am helpless. Or maybe it is only because I had high expectations of myself. Or maybe I am just giving in to the societal expectations. Whatever it is, I just hope I can get through this with something.
