My 131st Post: Am I Forgotten?

Am I forgotten? Ever wondered if people remember you even when you don’t talk anymore. I mean the person whom you used to be a best bud of and now you guys don’t talk, do you think they would have you in their mind still. Or someone whom you thought was important for you but then things didn’t work out and the chapter got shut away for the spiders to nest in. Ever wondered the way you think about them, the way you recall their precious memories, their names and their existence, would they be doing the same time after time.
I have met a lot of people in my age and with most of them, I don’t have any contact at all. Some were just random folks but then there also were those whom I wanted to be a part of my each and every memory. Destiny didn’t have their pictures in my timeline but still I have them in my head. Like the friends I had made in my junior years. Some of them are still in contact but then again majority are like the leaves of fall which flew away from me.
I still remember the names of each and every girl I had a crush upon or whom I fell in love with. Some of them know the fact that I was drooling upon them but specially the girl whose name the cupid struck me with knows it well because she is the only one till the date whom I had enough courage to propose. Well I do wonder if she even remembers me and recalls my memories or thoughts at times. She did had made it clear that I am not going to be a part of her memories by blocking me from every way possible but still, I just wonder if she remembers me.
Then there were random others whom I thought would remain my friends but it didn’t happen. Like a great friend of mine from the school days whom I used to hang out with. She was a nice person and best of all, she helped me out in my love thingy but then something went wrong and it ended. Or like my recent thought about a friend whom I had a misunderstanding with and now she remains at a distance though I did clear it all and our chat ended with my words that I would wait for her reply when she would be willing to talk no matter how high the pile of the years get. Now I wonder it has been months since we talked, does she even remember me. There are a lot of people like her whom I drifted apart from and it has been long since we talked but I don’t think they remember me because alright a girl might have some issues but what about a guy? What about my buddies from the school days whom I haven’t heard from in years. I really don’t even know if they are alive. Well that is life.

I do wonder and I believe everyone does because one can not just kill a memory out of the system. We are not machines whose RAM can be erased or something, we are humans with hearts. If we spend time with even a cat at our door, we remember it. It is mostly our ego and the awkwardness of time which binds us at distance. Well the destiny chose this for us. Some people stay and others just drift away. I would like some of them back but I don’t think anyone would want the entire fleet at their steps again because they were gone and when they left, it might have been a good thing to happen in life. Still I believe that no soul on Earth is forgotten just ignored due to our human nature. They left due to some reason but still they remain a part of our memories.

My 109th Post: Back To School


It has been months since my last visit to my old school....I guess it was in the start of this January when I went back to The City School-Jinnah Campus but well that was just a brief visit...went there to pick up my little brother and came back without meeting anyone from the campus.....
I went directly from my university to Jinnah....seriously the way they show in films when a hero drives back to his love with all those flash backs of each and every moment, the same happened with me....though am not a hero in this case but was headed towards one of my loves....as I neared the road towards the campus, things started coming back to me....everything made me recall things from the past....like the example of the main road....it was our last year and me and some of my friends were walking back home as always....just for fun, we walked home....that day, we were lazy so my friend and I decided to block the road by lying down in the middle of the track....I know you guys would feel that it wasn't a secure idea to implement but other friends were watching out for speeding cars.....we nearly stopped 5 or 7 cars and then one of our Heads were on their way so had to stand up and walk again.....
Then I looked upon the campus, I remembered how we used to play outside and run all the time.....we fought, made new friends, fell in love or things like that....I mean it was a brilliant time of our lives.....I really miss those days and while I walked towards those doors, my nerves were shaking....it was just a feeling I really can't explain....one needs to experience that in order to understand what was going around my mind.....it was like I guess when a person goes to school for the first time after vacations....I don't know but this feeling was a delightful one.....the beautiful thing was when I was greeted warmly by each and everyone of the staff...not only the ones who knew me, but also the new ones...when I introduced myself to them, they made me feel that I am still a part of that environment....I didn't even a bit feel like a stranger in a new place....even the security guard at the main entrance was a new member...he didn't recognise me but when I introduced myself and told him that I am a pass out and was the Head Prefect there, he opened the gate with pride and welcomed me with respect.....
My visit there was not just because I was missing that place but it was mainly to meet our Principal, Mam Aliya Khalid...she was attacked recently and was burnt with acid....Masha-Allah she is recovering from that incident but still needs to go through some more operations to get well....me and my friends did go to meet her when she was admitted in the hospital but our bad luck struck and she was discharged few days before our journey.....I still had her card with me from that day and with a bouquet, I went in her office.....she really was happy to see me again after a long time....I felt that she was still proud of me and that feeling was lovely.....we sat down and chatted for a while....then I left her office and went around the building searching for my old teachers....I met few of them and their joy was awesome.....it felt as if I was back home and was greeted with same love and respect as they did back then.....when I told them what I was currently doing, they really felt proud of me and still expect me to reach higher stages, Insha-Allah....it was just lovely and I really want to go back to City School and start my studies from the beginning.....
Well, I would like to end this post with a message from Mam Aliya Khalid to all her students who have passed out recently or even before my batch....she told me to give her regards and love to all her students and wish them best of luck...also to tell them to pray for her so she may get her strength back and undergo those operations successfully.....so best of luck guys and really do pray for her, she is one of the best principals and she deserves way better than this.....lets just hope that her enemies fall on the right path or suffer the wrath of Allah....
Please do share this post so that all of the Ex-Citizens of J-camp can read this.....thank you....
