I was at the shops today with my brother getting a sound system fixed in my car when this guy walked in…
He must be like around late forties....
Medium height, stocky and healthy built, saanVli complexion, oiled thinning hair with a little bit of scalp showing
He had a huge car, like a really expensive one, and his driver was getting the work done in his car, he had just come around to oversee things for a couple of minutes…
He was wearing a TON of gulaab itar or some really strong perfume which had that gulaab type smell…I could smell it instantly and much after he’d gone…
He was wearing a black shalwaar kameez which was like silk or linen…You know the material that is really flowy…from his dressing and the way he carried himself he looked really ‘rangeen mizaaj’
His appearance gave away that at some point in his life he had seen mehRoomi and tough maali haalaat and he was not someone who was a khanDaani raees who had spent his life in the lap of luxury…but obviously NOW he is stinkin rich. thoroughly eastern persona. I was thinking, he must be some underworld don or something…he didn’t look like he was ‘shareef’; or much educated…neither do I think he had a family or something…he looked like one of those liberal eternal bachelors with a ‘rangeen’ lifestyle…khayr he didn’t look exactly ‘badmaash’, did have a humanistic and very earthyl aura but bordered on looking somewhat ‘badmaash’ but a big hearted person nevertheless but the type ke jis se aik dafa dushmani ho jaye us ko tabaah kar ke choray
He came into the shop and everyone was like kya haal hae Shah ji or something
He was constantly talking in his mobile....came in, shook hands with the men, and then left
I was thinking after he left the shop, that … whoa…there are so many different types of people in this world…We, or atleast most people in my family and friends, have the typical lifestyle, we are born, go to school, get degrees, get job or start business, have a family and the cycle continues…We have set moulds we fit into, and anyone who breaks that mould is discouraged…
But there are folks like these…I mean, what kind of life must he have had? I dont know. Society out there surely is vast with so many different types of people.
There are those kids who are given as sadqa to shrines and then they spend their whole lives as mureeds at those shrines. There are those little pathan orphan girls from Afghanistan who are breathtakingly beautiful and they spend their lives begging on the streets from a young age…I mean, there are so so so many different types of people in this world leading such different lives. We however hold most people to our own standards according to our own lives and assume generally that people have similar lives to us but they don’t…
hmmm…jus some thoughts…
