Journal of an Optimistic Contrarian

The name of my blog stems from my worldview which is naturally contrarian. I also think too many people are unnecessarily pessimistic about the world we live in, thus the "optimistic" qualification. On this blog you can expect to find random musings on a wide list of topics and my feeble efforts at poetry. I work in the financial industry, and I can also be dubbed as a contrarian investor. And contrary to popular opinion, I am not a contrarian for the sake of being one (Or at least I hope not).

Zaroorat-e-Ishq (The Need for Love)


Zaroorat-e-Ishq


Khuda ne ishq ko bheja kyun
Qayamat ka andaaz ho jaaye
Lutf-e-jannat chakh le insaan
Dard-e-dozakh bardaasht ho jaaye


The following is a rough translation:

The Need for Love

Why did God send Love on Earth
To prepare man for Judgement Day
To give a glipmse of the pleasures of Heaven
And to prepare him for the torments of Hell

"We say love makes our eyes twinkle,
Falling in love is awfully simple,

Love they say is just so wonderful,
that falling out of love is simply AWFUL!!!!!(:(:"
