Expectation

haroon,

i think this is very very good. in particular...

``Now how much of life can one take? First we want and hope only this to attain, but on its satisfaction, a thousand more desires rear their heads and speak onto us, driving us mad with their ever-increasing cacophony, till finally one can hear nothing but endless babble. Incomprehensible, but what thoughts it spurs, that we wish only to silence them, to rid ourselves of that first desire which betrayed us and led us to such an impasse. That is, the desire to live. Were it not for this empty dream, which I have seen after more than five decades to be in fact a nightmare.``

truth. occasionaly a writer in form stumbles onto a universal truth, a moment of emotional clarity. whether deliberate or not. so...wow...

do keep writing. this is a compelling voice, hopefully there will be more.

plus, when reading that, i didn`t see it as the voice of a selfish person but rather that of an honest person. in the end, though we claim to love others and might do all we are supposed to or think we should to please them, i sometimes wonder if indeed we do love them. are we all just pretending all the time? who hasn`t seen people we are related to or profess love for as some kind of bondage? if not always, them even sometimes. do those moments make us selfish?

Dont do it... go see other doctors, go to a counsellor, go to Pak see a hakim, do the homeopathic stuff, do whatever, but live ur life... success or no success, illness or no illness, its a gift thats God given...

although very well written kept me reading till the end, freaky ending... also very true many Asian ppl abroad have `made it` but how many are happy???

still if ur alive at least theres hope

#tipu, well you figure that one out, but the pics are not fake :) ciao and have a nice day

Eerie.

Ehhhhhhh...

that`s some freaky twisted ending man.

who would`ve thought the wife would exemplify as much clinical efficiency as the main character.

success in america, it appears, leads to the same sort of person being created.
