"On my 26th, I am grateful to my friends for sending me some special wishes. I have felt great pleasure in the fact that they remembered it and were able to spare time for me. I can't thank each of them enough. As for myself, birth-day and new-year are a point where I can look back at what I have achieved vis-a-vis what I had intended at the start of cycle. If I see it from outside, I should be happy that I have spent another period in terms of work & also that I have reached an academic milestone. However, what bothers me all the time is the quality of how it has gone past. The search for a meaning of life is still on. One mustn't keep walking like everyone else without a sense of purpose. I sometimes feel lost when I think about it. I find myself wanting for words too. There seems to be a contest happening between different factors inside. One day I will be able to explain. Right now what's striking my mind are Faraz’s lines. (01-09-2024) . ©PK"
