Kuch tabiyet hi aisi paayi
Ke chain se jeene ki surat na hui
Jisse chaha usse apna na sake
Jo paas raha usse kabhi muhabbat na hui.
-Nida Fazli

I always wonder whether our great Creator has a special liking for paradoxes,or maybe it might be the best source of entertainment for Him.Just as it is quoted,"If i could think at 20,and if i could act at 40", similarly life is always surrounded by many such ifs ,contradicting themselves & making a mockery of our our thoughts.Sometimes you have hunger and no food,sometimes you have the best food and no hunger,sometimes you are filled with love and nobody to express it over & sometimes though when you have someone to express to you are hardly left with any emotions,sometimes you have wants and no means to fulfill them,and sometimes it is the other way around.If you keep yourself aware of the proceedings going around your life,you will be able to see this dichotomies everywhere surrounding you.Right from when you are a kid you will be told to study hard so that you will be in a better position,but your heart wants to play ,to explore the fields,the mountains,the rain drops,and when u grow older you are told to be close to nature to witness a sunset,to go to beach.All such things rejuvenate you from the stress and monotony of life.All of us witness that when there was hunger there was hardly any food and when there is food your hunger suddenly disappears.Same is with the sleep,with love,with friendship with everything that you don't get when you want the most and than when you have this wonderful things your mind is in search of some other things.

Will like to end this piece with lyrics of another JS(jagjit singh) ghazal

Kahi aasuon ki hain dastaan
kahi muskuraahaton ka bayaan
kahi barkato ki hain baarishen
kahi tishnagi behisaab hain.
