back to dystopia

Dystopia to Utopia and back to Dystopia. This is how it has been. Hahaha! What illusions we kindle in our hearts knowing all the way that they will never bear fruit. Maybe being in Utopia does give you a sense that you have conquered fate, that you design your future. Utopia gives security, may it be a false sense. We are so engulfed in the dream that we forget what the wise men have said through out the ages…and I quote;
"Agahi, daam e shunidan, jis qadar chaahe bichaaye,
Mudda, anqa hai, apni aalam e taqreer ka."
And so I bow to thee mighty Ghalib, may I be guided by your principles throughout life.
May I revel in the pain of hope, lost and found, just as you did. May I spend my life in the memory and search of my ‘incessant hope’. God give me strength and I ask nothing of you.
