I have reached the conclusion that, loag have shattered more dreams than any other singular thing. They are worse than our most formidable enemies. Why? Because they are the hardest judges, and most of the time impossible to ignore.
The change has to start from myself and today, reflecting back on this episode, I am making a pledge to distance myself from judging others. If John and Aamir are drinking or if Sheema is not doing Hijab, that’s their personal matter. Who am I to make a judgment of character on choices of taste or clothing? Everyone has the right to choose as long as the law allows it.
I have grown and learned a lot from all these experiences and importantly your comments. I may be still not be perfect, but I will be trying my best to not disappoint myself.
In the meanwhile, since I have made a pretty known reputation of exposing my thoughts, you too can think of stuff and put it on my name. Make your own cartoons and write “app nay kia soocha” using this template.
