Life and death

“Life is what is happening while you are planning other things”

Not recovered from that trauma of accident last night, I wonder whats my take on life. Am I a devout muslim inside waiting for a certain time to start practicing the tenets of Islam? Until that time starts I m at liberty to enjoy life and go about doing whatever pleases me for the moment. I read a famous quote once the gist of which is that in each phase of our lives, we live on hope that our ideals will come true and life will be good onwards. But once we are into that phase, it takes little to realize that it wasn’t the end and there is another to go. So another endeavor starts again in the hope of a better life. The struggle goes on endlessly. Death of a person , besides signifying a termination of bodily activities , also underlines the end of his or her struggle. The significant thing here is that one never knows when the death will put an end of any on-going struggle phase of one’s life. Death and life go hand in hand. No matter how one tries to evade it , the shadow of death follows a person.Having such a close shave of death , I have realized one thing : Life is subject to death in this world. All the dreams, aspirations and plans have to be implemented now and here. There is no tomorrow.

But I m Alive

I had a very dangerous accident last night at about 2:00 am. While crossing a turn near Garelt in Hunza, i lost control of my vehicle and plunged down into shrubs upside down. For a moment i thought i was dead. I think i screamed when while slinging down. Luckily enough,i incurred no serious injuries. A vehicle of XEN B&R was behind me who must have seen me going down. They immediately came to my rescue. Inside the vehicle i wasn't able to figure out the doors and my position there. I thought i was badly hurt but on moving around i found that i could move. My neck had curled and i still feel pain while moving it. I was taken to Aga Khan health facility in Aliabad immediately by some police persons who happened to cross the road at that time. It was almost 2:00 am. Every body who looked at vehicle thought either i was dead or must have suffered severe injuries. A flabbergasted XEN Ghulam Rasool came to the health. SHO , Haji Afzal , had reached by then along with some of AC Office levies. Some of them looked at me as if something irreparable had happened. Later DC HN , Zafar sahb visited me. All of the sympathizers were of the view that I was safe. I think thats more than true. AC Nagar , Wazir Iqbal, even congratulated me that no harm had happened to me. Sympathies and thanks aside, it was my fault at the end of the day. I was going over-speedy. Just before i took that fateful turn, i had to to manage a frantic juggle of the steering which brought the vehicle again on track. This must have served me as a sign of the accident to come. I shouldn't have slowed down. I didn't. I think it was the speedy turning which coupled with some machinery of the steering which cause the vehicle to go down.

I realized how uncertain and tenuous life is? Had the vehicle taken another turn while plunging i must have suffered severe injuries. The accident couldn't have been fatal. But its God's grace again which saved me. I m thankful that my life is saved and i have suffered no serious injuries.

Hello world....
This is my first blog. I kept a diary when i was in college. The practice continued when i went to university. I still have those diaries. The problems ranging from taking a crush off my mind to bouts of shyness are all there. From the very beginning (by that i mean the time i realized that i had some issues with me) i had a knack for books.Perhaps self-help books were my first love. Dale Carnegie , Qazi Javed( that literiate from Lahore who wrote books from a cocktail of Western self help writers) and many others attracted me. How to be more confident socially was the single question nagging my mind. Every time i read a book and got introdcued to a new idea , i thought this was it. My problem(s) seemed to have been solved. I would repeat the words of the authors i read and thought i had made a breakthrough. That almost always seemed short-lived.
Ironically , i was the most "intelligent" student during all that time simply because i stood first and second in all my exams...but that was just one facet of me. I had world of feelings to bring out but couldn't and simply went with the flow.....The reason for coming on this blog is do away with that old feeling and express myself , the real me here. Why i m doing that?? i don't know . Perhaps i want approval from others? Perhaps i need people like me to interact with me? Perhaps i haven't discussed these things with anyone in my life so far...or perhaps...
Is this how one writes a blog... i was carried away by old memories. More later, but hope i will choose a topic and stick to it next time....
If u have read this far, u made my day,
Thank you...
