Kar saki na asar kabhi koi sharaaab,
Aaj tuk na howa mera imaan kharaab
Miltay hi tum say magar rehta nahin koi hosh,
Kho’on ga tum ko agar tu doon kissay mein dosh


The Boys are in trouble.

I know and feel their pain. Yet, beyond all hopes and aspirations, The Boys have decided that they're nice people. It therefore seems that I am destined to watch each of them wither away under the weight of their collective and individual burdens. It hurtses ussss!!!

One is a seedha, sharif bacha who has very little idea of how to go about getting himself a girl. He reckons that if he can’t get her out of his thoughts, he must be in love. I reckon that, as long as he reckons what he does, he's lost. I could tell him what to do but that would mean not letting him make his own mistakes, not letting him learn that what he feels may not really be love and not letting him figure out his own path in life. Again, he's still too naïve in so very many ways that he may never fully understand what he’s doing to himself. It’s time to grow up my darling Little Turtle.

One, convinced of his intelligence, sanity and mental stability, has decided to launch himself into orbit while at the same time turning into a bit of a fish. Now he’s one person who’s never been able to hold down his stomach after a good night’s machli scene. To top it off, he’s got girl issues, home issues, future issues and general ugliness issues! I always thought he was smart and grounded enough to know better than to do some of what he’s doing to himself. Somewhere inside I still know he’s more than capable of sorting himself out. Stay true to your nature my friend. You’re not a fish, Bitch!

One is still grappling with what he wants. Problem is, if life were easy, simple and black and white, with his social skill, talent and ability, he’d be king of the universe. Unfortunately, life’s a tad bit more complicated than we ever figure and has more shades of grey than a rain-filled Karachi sky. If I could solve his problems, or even offer suggestions, I would do so instantly. Sadly, solving problems of the nature that he’s encountered is beyond me. For once. All I can say my dear boy is that you’re being sensible and smart. And despite the limitations I might face in helping you out, I’m always there.

Kaun hoon yeh nahin tumhein koi khabar
Wastaa hi nahin koi tumsay magar
Janaay kyon tum bin mujhey sooni lagay har shaam
Aisi hai uljhan mujhey jiska nahin koi naam

There is perhaps a fourth one as well. one who is all of a sudden older, and maybe maturer... at least those are the vibes that you get. Anyway, he doesnt really seem to be in trouble but he has some teeny problems of his own which it seems hes able to cope with himself. But, maybe he just needed the boys to be there with him in order for him to help him with some fatty little problems. But, the point is, this boy is still a boy. Ameen.
