Alive and Wondering

Yes, I am alive and still wondering . Not that i had a close shave with death but the fragile beings that we are with our every step frought with danger , it amazes me constantly how we cling to things , to people, to our own immortality. Of course this doesnt mean that we stop pursuing our ambitions but this does mean that in view of the little time we have , we should surely not waste it in being conceited or narrow minded. It all comes from this sense of immortality i tell you. The importance and seriousness we attach to most of the trivia surrounding us has bound us in a blinding web . The outcome of all that is quite diverse and ranges from simple verbal duels to all consuming wars, all of it needless.
I myself am the victim of this sense of immortality. There are Moments when i could have acted better. Moments which have left a trail of regret in their wake. I have learnt a lot though, and i would like to share it with you in a sentence
" chill 'cause Life tastes best when taken with a pinch of salt" ;o)

I was thinking why this name "Alive and Wondering"... After going through your posts now i realised that- Its the apt one.
It suitably describes your deep thinking...
Its hard for me to interpret many of the words of your ghazals :(
My little knowledge in Urdu is the reason.... Had i known them, it would have been a much better for me to understand it completely..

However whatever i could interpret is very nice ...

Thanks Shashi,
Its a great joy to know that there is some one whose arm I did not twist to read my posts :)
you give me too much credit but nevertheless it does give me reasons to work on next post. I have been putting it off as usual.
