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).

Ek aur sher

On Jealousy:

zulfon se khelkar aariz-o-lab choom kar gayi
ranjish mujhe us jhoke se tujhko chhoo kar gayi


It played with your hair and brushed your cheeks
I am jealous of the gust of wind that blew near you
