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).

Husn-e-Bekhabar (Unknowing Beauty)

Nikle the tafreeh-e-gulistaan ko aatish par safar garmi-e-gard-e-sehra nikla
jise husn-e-bekhabar samjha tha dost zaalim husn-e-beparwaah nikla

I went for a stroll in the garden but the journey was through the dry burning desert
I thought Beauty was innocent and unknowing, but mistook cruel indifference as innocence

Hmm Yah you are probably right. But I don't know how to translate it so it sounds in the third person.

Btw just saw your comment after months, coz I decided to post something on my blog after a long time and logged on.

Cheers.
