"It's sad that the post-modern literary paradigm generally eschews religious texts. Quran is specially regarded as the archetypal dogma and thus uncompatible with modernity. In my recent study, I have found it relevant to both the current times and my personal life. Partly poetic, it carries profoundly symbolic meanings - much beyond the simplistic classroom teachings and anachronistic medieval MiddleEastern exegesis." — Apr 25, 2023 03:09AM

“دل رہینِ غمِ جہاں ہے آج
ہر نَفَس تشنہء فغاں ہے آج
سخت ویراں ہے محفلِ ہستی
اے غمِ دوست! تُو کہاں ہے آج”

“Alexander Rostov was neither scientist nor sage; but at the age of sixty-four he was wise enough to know that life does not proceed by leaps and bounds. It unfolds. At any given moment, it is the manifestation of a thousand transitions. Our faculties wax and wane, our experiences accumulate and our opinions evolve--if not glacially, then at least gradually. Such that the events of an average day are as likely to transform who we are as a pinch of pepper is to transform a stew.”
