My encounter with Jalib

sac,

After the insensitive, callous and intelectually derelict attempt at explaining sunamic human disasters in a sterile game theoretic straight jacket, it is refreshing to find some blooms of poignant writing in the forlorn chowk landscape.

Regards and best wishes

Jay.

sac, Welcome!

First timer? Not bad at all mate! I can`t believe they rejected it the first time...but then again you didn`t approach them through ……… did ya? Just kidding!

You certainly brought back some memories. Like Faiz, Jalib also suffered during 60`s. He was arrested and sent to jail. His collection of poems ``sar-e-maqtal`` was officially banned. I don’t know if he will ever be considered a great poet, but through his bitter and sweet poetry, he certainly spoke for the battling little bloke.

The only suggestion I have for you is WRITE MORE!

And I hope your clients were properly hedged during the recent crash.

Good piece Sac. Keep writing, but may I dare ask a question `` sirf yeh kehnay say kay mulk key taqdeer kharaab hai ...`` , we cant resign to the fact that things cant change.

May be you and I need to get out of our glass houses in the PROSPEROUS PART OF this world, and start to build, the house that is burning but is still alive....

words only words ..i am sure you will say that...but JUST THINK FOR A WHILE. forhow long will we continue to run ...????apnay ghar say bhaaga nahin kartay sir....apna ghar tau apna hai!

regards
