Tepidness on face, warmth in eyes, amicable attitude, courteous gestures, soft touch. There are no barriers of caste, creed, race, religion, class. Those attempts to freak out for dinners and prolong it hop, jig, and spin, swings, whirls at dancing session. Those mornings when you wake up by calls to wish you good fortune to dare not to throw down the gauntlet in battle of life. That remembrance during noon time to show the special place you occupy. The sudden gifts outpoured on you to mark preference for you. Those hugs eschewed, kisses abstained, and few words fought shy of, promises forsweared. Attempts to understand. And enjoy life as moments flow.
It is bothersome when others come up and ask you ‘who is he/she to you?”. The amusement, delight, gratification from unsaid emotion, untold love all spills up. I beg to ask them, “Who the hell are you to poke your nose and ask us to tag our terms? We do not want to have exemplary people around us, just to earmark them to avoid taboos. It is not an anathema to move ahead with life. There is no deception as change is the law of life and time.

Hi Amna,
You ask: Why is there so much stupidity around?
Here is a humble answer: "Because of people who think they can pose such a question after reading The Argumentative Indian and The World is Flat. Because of people who quote Aristotle at a terribly young age so that they have to learn nothing after they are done with an elite education. Because of Muslims who take care to avoid alcohol but get their Sarmad mixed up with Shah Waliullah. This is not an attack on you.
But why are you defending a Nation which evolves out of the idea of its enemy: The Muslim.
Read Iqbal on how Nehruvian socialism would suffer the same fate as Buddhism in India before dreaming of a Revolution - or an end to stupidity.
With humble Selams...your,
Farhad
Dude, let her write. let her think.
She is not defending any nation, and I fail to understand the connection.
Not trying to defend you Amna, but seriously, you have a good thought process in your posts. Just sometimes, it gets lost behind the big words!
Hope you can help people low on vocabulary (like me) understand the premise..
