"I Wonder....."

Hi Everyone,

"Alif Allah Chambay Di Booti Tey Meray Murshid Mann Vich Lai Hoo

Ho Naïf Uss Baat Da Paani Dey Kay

Har Ragaay Harjai Hoo

Ho Joog Joog Jeevay Mera Murshid Sohna

Hatay Jiss Ay Booti Lai Ho"

I wonder why the walls we build around us end up being taller than the ones society does. 

I wonder why  the sky is the limit. 

I wonder why our lives are counted in years and not by the steps we take. 

I wonder why a door has to close for a new one to open.

I wonder why life takes its own sweet time to unfold its mysteries. 

I wonder why human relationships are much more complex than a human mind. 

I wonder why I am losing my looks and my mind simultaneously. 

I wonder why Angelina and Brad aren't married yet. 

I wonder why I started walking toward the end the moment I took my first steps.

I wonder why my gloves had to take fifty years to come off.  

I wonder why I don't recognize myself in the mirror anymore. 

I wonder why I  have to come at life with everything I acquired, innate, and then some...just to survive. 

I wonder why I had to lose my parents and why my children will have to lose theirs. 

I wonder why I spent half my life noticing things that I shouldn't have. 

I wonder why I feel the pain of my children before they feel it themselves. 

I wonder why I stopped looking up to people. 

I wonder why people stop taking you for granted the minute you start taking them for granted. 

I wonder why my heart has to be my Achilles' heel. 

I wonder why coffee is an acquired addiction. 

I wonder why my mind is going places where I thought it could never go. 

I wonder why God is so good to me. 

I wonder why I had to face the dichotomy of two cultures and then throw my children into it. 

I wonder why I am supposed to act as a good old grandmother when my grandkids are around. 

I wonder why life gets you when you are not looking. 

I wonder why humanity is being slaughtered by humans. 

I wonder why it takes so long to catch up to the philosophy of 'Catch 22'. 

I wonder why no one can beat us in the game of life like we beat ourselves.

I wonder why I thought for the longest time that I was just a pawn, when I was the whole game of chess. 

I wonder why you have to let go of your children to bring them back. 

I wonder why someone had to come up with the concept of daylight savings. 

I wonder why culture has the ability to surpass religion. 

I wonder why denials get you through life like nothing else can. 

I wonder why my bones don't agree with the notion that age is just a number.

I wonder why I run out of my prerogatives before I do of my fingers. 

I wonder why it's so hard to hold out the olive branch for my gender. 

I wonder why man proposes if God disposes. 

I wonder why marriage is called a gamble and not a calamity. 

I wonder why I didn't get a chance to say proper goodbyes to my parents. 

I wonder why we don't grow up until our parents die. 

Much Love,

Shehla
