A drop of insanity...

It's a little funny how it's always difficult to recall when was the last time one cried and what did one cry about once the emotions have eased back to normal!

Even if it was just the night before! Or may be even a few hours!

Because all our grievance just turns into a salty, sticky trickle of tears and leaves the rest of the body to let itself move on!

But there are moments when one certainly knows of not being upset or gloomy, and most definitely isn't anywhere near crying, yet a lonesome tear swells out of the corner of one of the eyes, and is wiped away unnoticed!

A quiet existence of some unfair atrocity that life has incurred upon an otherwise sparingly happy person!

Do you remember when was the last time you wiped your cheek for the cold, wet trail that rebelling tear left?

If you think never! Then think again! Because if it's true it either means you're an insensitive rock or you're a very blessed person!

It just takes a little bit of a touch with the reality to know when did you shed the last drop of insanity!

Nostalgic... Finally!!!

It rained today! Just for a few minutes. It rains often enough in Islamabad so there wasn't anything special about it today. Except that it had been years since I'd witnessed a downpour without having something else on my mind...

There I was today... No pending commitments for the moment... No objective... Pointlessly sitting at the Khokha in the middle of Industrial Area under a gang of trees... Waiting for the Doodh Patti to be served...

But things have changed! Life! Has changed. Regardless of the freedom of that moment, I didn't wish to walk out of the shade into that blissful shower of heavenly pearls much more than a subconscious dillusion!

That moment, the speeding blanket of melting clouds, is what left me truly nostalgic... For I guess the first time in my life... Finally! I know what nostalgia feels like!
