Hello good folks,
I know I haven't posted in 5 days. Not a big period, I understand. I have poems I can post. I have time too. Nothing has changed. But see my last entry... I'm graduating. After that, nothing else seems worthy enough for a publish. It's a huge milestone for me. I know, it's just a 4, maybe 5 years worth of a journey. But I had to make my way through life's horrific tangles. I had to prove to myself that I am strong enough to juggle a sh*tload of responsibilities and now that I've done what I had set out for myself to do, I'm very humbled.
I'll be back soon guys, just bear with me.
Take care,
Ambareen

Congratulations on your graduation.
I do hope you continue with your Blog. It has served as a useful resource for me.
I should explain that further. I do not KNOW (read or write) Urdu but am extremely fond of Urdu Poetry.
I am from India.
Take care

Thank you :)
I'm glad I could be a part of your Urdu poetry love.
Have you ever dreamed to touch the moon? And then since you had no other way of doing so, you just kept stacking stones on top of each other to make a platform high enough to touch the moon? And in doing so, fell many times, but never gave up. Now imagine you are standing ON the moon. Now you just want to stand there and absorb the beauty and take in the beautiful reality of your fulfilled dream.
Well I'm on my moon now, and I'm just looking around, mesmerized, and I want to share this blessed moment with myself. I'll be back real soon though. Saturday is my graduation and I think once I see my name on my degree, it'll start to sink in. And then as per human nature, I'll plan another trip to another celestial object. :)
Take care.
May you be blessed with many more joys from many Moons and soarings to many a Celestial Object.
As for me, I am an old man and the Moon feels cold. One romanticised about it at one time and that very thought makes the Moon seem colder still.

For my bones now the gentle warmth of the Sun. Sometimes it burns. Just a reminder of ulimately being consigned to the flames as per my traditions.
But, every Old-Moon gives way to a New-Moon. Mine is my daughter.

Congratulations for graduating. Your sentiments and vision make you very special and may you be blessed always for your compassion, humility and patience.
This time try to reach one of the stars... because you have to start your journey this time from moon and not from earth. You vision is already way beyond approach and new target will make you even better.
Thanks for the kind words. Appreciate it.
