To whom It may Concern


It’s funny to see life changing. Some changes are very gradual; take years but some are sudden!! Some relations take long to either take birth or die and some just moments...And you act like a wooden doll to this ruthless puppeteer called life...

When you were born you knew only about your parents, siblings...then relatives, neighbours and then more. Then you get to make friends in school. You come to know about whole variety of people available on this earth. You get friends with whom you fight, laugh, share thoughts, and confide every day. You begin to think what you will be without them...that these are the friends you want lifelong and will stay all through. Remember the slogan, friends forever and the pledge that whatever happens we would never separate!? I remember my only best friend of seven years in school and after school I never heard from her!!  

Then life takes a sudden turn, your needs and dreams take you to a completely new world and your old world fades away...So many new smiles, new handshakes, new phone numbers, new relationships, new tears, new pains, new lessons to learn! You hardly get time to miss your single-soul-two-bodies friendship. You don’t even realize when it takes a back seat because you are afraid to stop so that you might not lag behind in the pace of life! You dance to the music of life as if you have those magic musical boots on, you can’t help. As you are growing, you see relations and people you meet now are not that simple as they used to be...the more deep the more they hurt and the less true the more fatal!!! There’s a carnival of people, they come they go, they come they stay they go...

You feel sorry for some of them and for some you don’t even realize their exit. Some leave because they could not get anything from you, some just drifted and you wondered what might have happened, some you decide to stay away from, some just couldn’t make it to your present because the paths were different and you couldn’t alter yours for them...And there might be some whom you never were able to forgive and forget...you still miss them but it may be hard to go back to them.

It’s funny; whom you considered important once is now just another number in population. Some of these numbers decide how you ought to behave, when you need to be nice, when you can’t be yourself, when you can be yourself but good one. They come in form of help, a good luck, companion for a short time, a warning, anything...You needed to meet them all, whether you chose or not.

You one day might decide to clean your phonebook and notice the names that you need no more, names with no more valid numbers, names whose faces you don’t remember any more and names that make you happy whenever you see them. While seeing an old family video today I suddenly realized how time changed for me and how badly I now miss that person sometimes. How unfortunate it is to become strangers after being so close. When you accepted the delivery of these good and closed ones from God, you actually signed an agreement that authorized him to take all away any time when he wants, as he wants, to which you don’t have the right to complain but accept.

Ajeeb tamasha hai mitti de bane lokkan da...
Bewafai karo ta ronde ne.
Wafaa karo ta rawaunde ne...
