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).

Rubaai (On the Limits of Ambition)

Na kar wo tamanna jo ata ho na sakega
Na daag laga wo dil pe jo dho na sakega
Deewaano ka ye hashr aksar hua hai 'Aatish'
Neend aaye bhi purzor par tu so na sakega
