Time changes everything, except, of course, memories

I had a real bad day yesterday, if you call thinking over your past, accomplishments, things you lost, bad memories, good ones, relationships, friends, family, career and what not, bad!

Time heals everything or so they say; getting out of your past relationships is definitely hard, and harder if it is worsened when your closed ones play their part, when you sacrifice for their contentment. The burden of everything else is put on your shoulders as if they all were intertwined.

To be happy and enjoy the smallest of times in your lives is a big thing to do, specially when you are going through all this. The reason when i say that people cannot be trusted, they are not true to you may lead to an assumption that I am a cynic; and I might be at times because I'm alienated, estranged and rebelled against everything, be it culture, religion, society and values. Others don't think like you do, even if they do, they have their own priorities.

Past was past and present will be past (the most pessimistic comment I can make)

Amar Jaleel is a good writer, I like him and I can relate almost every story of his to myself. Many stories deal with portrayal of unrequited love, difference of classes, independent renegades and revolutionaries, tyranny, survival of poor people in our society and many others. One such story is A Train To Karachi. I'd recommend you to read it.
