Kahan Se Aap Zamaney Ke Bad Aye Hain

I liked this story a lot. Are you the Ijaz Gul of TFT?

Ijaz:

The footnote was not needed. The story spoke for itself. Such true and honest sentiments can only be expressed by those who`ve experienced the said passion.

Some eons ago, I saw a young man(a cousin) shedding tears on saying goodbye to his past love. I was literally taken aback to see what I saw. At that time, I could not even believe that guys can be that emotional. I do not have any dearth of emotional men in my immediate family, but I still cannot take that scene out of my mind. It`s coincidental that my cousin is happily married(not to the same person) and has a little baby girl. By the way, in some ancient mythologies, it`s said that 90% - 95% of the times emotional and sensitive guys are blessed with baby daughters as their first child.

Thank you for sharing a sweet chapter of your life.

Thank you so much Ijaz for sharing with us this wonderful but in a way a sad story. I can see how your heart must have ached. Good piece of writing.

Ijaz sahib, this is simply beautiful, and sad too. The other side never realizes what a man might be going through and he finds everything to be hurting and killing him... that`s how it goes. I hope you feel a lot better after writing this up and sharing with us.

You climb mountains, a daring man you are. How does it feel to be up there away from everyone and everything, standing at the cold airless zenith fighting against the forces of nature... doesn`t it give you strength and courage? Don`t you feel indestructable and powerful deep inside you, momentarily? Integrate those positive feelings with the feelings of loss, sadness and nostalgia that bother you... and I`m sure that with that kind of courage no mountain would seem a difficult challenge for you... be it inside your heart or a cold merciless sierra.

Touching & told very well. The testosterons play wonders with emotions, thoughts & dreams.

I have lived through a fantasy for few a decades - but that is another story.

Beautiful story Ijaz. I guess many of us can relate to this story. We all have gone through something like this in our lives. Too young at that time to be considered seriously by the girls parents. Only if they had the oppturinity to see us now and see the difference!!!!!

Thank you God for everything.

Ijaz:

Ijaz, beautiful and extremely poignant.

#7: I am sorry testosterones do not intervene here at all. Ok! Please get down from the high horse of macho-ness. You may not have intended that but that`s how you came across. You make it sound as if it`s inherent in a young man to adopt that route. The way Ijaz has written his feelings make it sound and seem very different. The sentiments have sweetness, purity and respect for the said person vs. being driven by male macho-ness(a despicable tendency) to get what he wants regardless of the feelings of the other side.

The romance never landed where it needed to, but on the flip side the mother in the picture could have been a nuisance. Some women can be very vicious. Thank God he is in safe hands. He should be very thankful to God. Something else that must be appreciated here is the fact that he did not imply anywhere that his childhood sweetheart was playing hard to get (another despicable male tendency!)

The writer has all my respects for the inherent goodness that is self evident from this article.

This is the sweetest and cutest article ever written by any sane and well put together male on Chowk!

It`s the beginning/end of fall at different parts of the world. And, it`s quite natural to get into that mode where you start thinking about all the people who have touched your life in someway or the other....

Happy Fall to all the readers!

Very beautifully written Ijaz! Destiny - very unusual element in our life, something we regret to believe in, but we end up looking at it, and to our disbelief it makes us realize what we were, and how we come to this juncture to what we now have become!

Truly emotional and touching! Something that amazes me is that, I always thought a woman has many stories to tell, but I have been mistaken too long! A man too has many stories of the heart to narrate!

p.s what is a chokraboy?

very well written indeed.

But what I dont understand is that you are happily married to a wonderful woman and have a sweetest little daughter and you are crying for a love....in your teenage years which was mostly one sided and where you probably didn`t even have a chance to say 20 words to the girl.

I just found it strange that you compared these emotions to the loss of your mother. I dont think there is any comparison.

Everyone of us goes through puppy loves and even serious long term relationships which somehow dont work out in the end due to zalim samajh but paapi wuqt is a big time healer. I think only writers or poets or sensitive guys can still feel the same emotions 30 years later and still cry.....

Raka ` insenstive? ` Posh !
