Inspite of the connection lenghting to around 21 of my immature and mature years, it was for the very first time ,through this review, that I happened to have an insight into his very being.<br />I think, Dhani, you have rightly paid credit that truly an elite creation deserves. I want to congratulate Dr. Shahid for his truly a matery in his work. And he does have the majestic readers, something that history witnesses most of the writers have remained deprived of, that is again worth congratulating.<br />I was much laid back in posting my words for Dr. Shahid and Dhani and I am happy to confess that their work put me in condition that I never thought myself quite able to put right words in response. But again I believe, as Dr Iqbal says,:<br /> <br /> Dil se jo bat niklti hai asar rakhti hai, Par nahee taqat e parwaz magar rakhti hai....Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12005179873026433485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470347879953910208.post-20225699271919186902010-06-22T19:35:12.111-07:002010-06-22T19:35:12.111-07:00Mr Bux!You are a real brave and courageous soul! I...Mr Bux!You are a real brave and courageous soul! I appreciate your daring and bold steps, however, I cannot even muster up courage in myself to write what I felt about the book. You won't believe when I read your reflection I wanted to write my comments, because at one place where you cannot say anything about "Muhabat" as you have not experienced it. My life revolves around it, I thought to write my reflection, to give vent to that agony of recognition with Imtisal Agha but Mr Dhani Bux, people like me are not as daring and brave as you, to accept face and reveal the re<br />alities of their personal life and follow their thoughts. In the same manner I cannot dare to say 'no' to my social life. I cannot be like Imtisal to reject all the material luxuries and live for love. Therefore, I thought I have no rights to compare myself to that exalted soul.<br /><br />Note: I had not been using internet on regular basis these days, last night somebody made realize what wrong I have done. Im extremely sorry for whatever I said, in fact, I didnt mean that you are one of those social people who think but dont practice. What was in my mind when I read your reflection and your remarks that you are a truly differnt and sensitive individual. I meant to agree with you on the ritualistic and hypocrat society, but at the same time when I knew Im very social so my remark was truly for myself that Im more hypocrat than the others. Im extremely sorry, I hurt you unintentionally.sufianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470347879953910208.post-63698211766992356732010-06-19T11:47:39.715-07:002010-06-19T11:47:39.715-07:00I believe that people who think differently than t...I believe that people who think differently than the masses are outcasted and as the number of these type of people is small so in order to make themselves fit in the society whic is obviously base on masses, they have to do hypocriacy. I am in total agreement with you that people like us who think in an other way and act againt it are also as hypocriate as anyone else is! however, I am trying my best to be honest, though very difficult but yet I try and as a practice i am detaching myself from those who make me compll to do hypocriacy. As a result, I find myself not so social as I was a decade before.Dhani Bux Jillanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863175512213293530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470347879953910208.post-74378114054843967452010-06-09T12:28:01.750-07:002010-06-09T12:28:01.750-07:00Mr Bux i believe here are many of us, who feel the...Mr Bux i believe here are many of us, who feel the same about this society as you tagged it 'ritualistic and hypocrate', yet we are very social as well. We condemn it in our heart, sometimes share with people like you who have the same pattern of thinking. However, when it comes of action we are deep rooted into this social life...which at times appear to be stinky. Hence, i believe we are more hypocrate than others if not following what we think.sufianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470347879953910208.post-26227069661840007802010-06-06T11:50:43.810-07:002010-06-06T11:50:43.810-07:00Dear Sofi,
I really appreciate your encouraging co...Dear Sofi,<br />I really appreciate your encouraging comments.However, I believe that yet I am not so courageous to speak out all that which mostly or occasionally I write and rewrite on the walls of my heart. I have made myself caught severly many times in this ritualistic society only because of my failure of not following the golden verse of Baba Bullhey Shah in which he says, "Khasa de galhiya, aama je agan karan na jugaidyen" means "dont speak that language infront of those who are not capable to understand, because that can only be understood by Special ones"<br />By writing this once again I am caught by fear, that would any reader not get this idea from the former text that "I am considering myself a special one" in any way not. I just reproduce the work of giants, I just quote the verses of great people, I just try to make people realize that what these great people have said that is full of truth, beauty, peace and satisfaction. Doing all this, frankly writing I mtyself is still unable to experience the mentioned luxaries in my life so far. Again thanks alot, I am indebted to those whose encouragement becomes a strong source of giving a life to that Dhani who is lost under the complexities and hypocracy of this ritualistic society.Dhani Bux Jillanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863175512213293530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470347879953910208.post-25371323832205155882010-06-04T11:06:26.342-07:002010-06-04T11:06:26.342-07:00its very true about power that our free associatio...its very true about power that our free association takes us to exploitation and corruption... Mr Dhani well done, you had the courage to express your heart out...mostly people cannot dare to do so! one really needs such a courageous heart to be creative as Dr Shahid says, writing personally and thinking out of the box. if i ask myself: the reply is definitely 'no': i am not as courageous as you are. <br /><br />Congratulations once againsufianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470347879953910208.post-51927808351406307192010-06-01T07:44:04.979-07:002010-06-01T07:44:04.979-07:00Dear Dhani, Thanks very much that you trusted me t...Dear Dhani, Thanks very much that you trusted me to share your write up. To tell you the truth my first reaction was "Wow"...."This must be a very creative person". There are so many components, they say, that construct a creative piece. One central component, however, is 'self', 'personal', or individual perspective which is fully reflected in your write up. The second important component is the courage to think 'out of the box' which you style and treatments suggest clearly. Well done. The journey has just begun.:)Shahid Siddiquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06173151255347816497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470347879953910208.post-67732513110599251802010-06-01T06:40:24.483-07:002010-06-01T06:40:24.483-07:00I do not know why, whenever I hear the word "...I do not know why, whenever I hear the word "Power", the second word which comes in my mind is "Exploitation"; the word whom I am so scared as I was from the darkness in the days of my childhood (children normally cry of fear when the electricity goes off in the nights). <br />The notion of power is also associated with knowledge as, "knowledge is power", so again repeating my feeling of being afraid of, I was very apprehensive in sharing my analysis to anybody. For days, I thought that should I share it to anybody or not? what one would think if I will write in this manner? Would one make fun of me after reading this? What my professors will think? What will be the response of my friends and colleagues? I was actually scared of from the power of knowledge which people around me have. Further, I was also afraid of being wrong. As, whatever I have written that has directly came from my heart and heart! as I believe is a very strange entity, it makes one to do those choreses which (in many cases) are prohibited by mind. However, one day, I dared and shared it only to Dr Shahid. The kind of appreciation was so encouraging and so full of light that I was feeling that a 500 watts charging light has been arranged by someone in the room to avert the darkness. As the crying child again starts playing after seeing light in the room, my heart has also again started thinking, writing and feeling good. I then sent the write-up to my colleagues, friends, professors, coordinators, directors and the list goes on. Their response is also very encouraging. I am thankful to Dr Shahid and all those who have sent me direct emails, having congrates, feedbacks and encouragements. I am thankful to Sof also who has written a very good note in the response of the write-up.Dhani Bux Jillanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863175512213293530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470347879953910208.post-77150325596977350402010-05-28T07:29:58.037-07:002010-05-28T07:29:58.037-07:00A writing based on true depiction of heart rending...A writing based on true depiction of heart rending feelings, its not the condition of Mr Dhani only, I guess I wont be wrong in saying that every sensitive person goes through the same phase. To much extent, Mr Safdar has been right in thinking the book as a test of human nature, or a tool of measuring sensitivity, sincerity and humanism. While reading this reflection, i really enjoyed that i also made a list of books to be read. . . <br /><br />A good piece of art always inspires the readers and they identify themselves with the characters.sofnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470347879953910208.post-51538775020600938222010-05-28T04:01:39.769-07:002010-05-28T04:01:39.769-07:00Dhani, Thanks for writing such an intense reflecti...Dhani, Thanks for writing such an intense reflective analysis.
