``I got the best wife one can dream of and then a sweet little daughter. ``


I didn`t like this sentence. He talks about his wife as some kind of property...it`s like he is proving to himself that he can get the best of everything

:(

What has moved me the most is the quality of comments that have come on this story. This is the scrutiny that we expose ourselves to, once we wish to share a part or a momment of our lives. It also reiterates my belief, that every momment of the life that we spend, has lessons for us and others, specially if it is put to pen. This highlights the role of writers in our society and the service they do to make us more humane.

Tahmed:

I do not want to argue for the heck of it; but this ain`t an article per se. This is a memoir. And, the rules of engagement are different for a memoir vs. an article....:)

End of Discussion!

ZahraJ, your post says it all. You have accurately read everything through and through.
God Bless

ZahraJ #43 You obviously think broadly, and as such while finding his article an interesting read you also accept my criticism of the article. This ability to see more than one side of the picture puts you, imho, in the ``Dost Mittar League`` in chowk. (this is meant to be a compliment, btw). :-)

Dear TAhmed:

True to a certain extent. But some of us have very little time on our hands to indulge in coffee break discussions. And, probably, I do have a tendency to look into certain things more seriously than needed to; still, I do not see the need to be apologetic for that. That`s how I am. Lately, Chowk has published good reading material and it will be sinful to not appreciate where appreciation is due. It`s just a personal value thing.

I do not want to come across as inflating the writer`s ego despite his kind remarks. I simply could not resist appreciating something that stood out and needed to be appreciated.

And, to your point, the factor of physical attraction is pretty evident here. The writer didn`t mention about anything else that captivated him. Interestingly, he has married a beautiful woman. Now, this tem ``beautiful`` can mean many things, but it most probably refers to someone who is as attractive as Patricia was or probably is better than Patricia. That`s why he completely lost track of his childhood love and never went back after establishing himself :) Now, must make him feel guilty :) Let`s grind him on that :) Just kidding! Please do not do that!

On the flip side, probably Patricia was not attracted towards him. Probably, she was not ready at that stage of her life to associate with someone in a romantic way. Whatever. Point is that men get attracted towards women without even talking to them. Silent Admiration! Men are indeed cut out differently. I have seen couples where the package is fairly attractive on the surface but as soon as you talk to them and get to know them you wonder what was/is the binding factor. It`s completely mind boggling.
...

Take Care...

ZahraJ #40 chowk discussions - including my ranting on chowk - are not going to bring peace on earth; nor find a cure for cancer; nor further man`s frontier`s of knowledge; nor ensure that no child goes to bed hungry. Better people than me are doing that right now. to me, the chowk break is a bit like coffee break i think, no more and no less. where some people write articles, others cheer or jeer the articles and each other.

my motive in critiquing of Mr. ijaz is thus no more than that. it is neither dark nor high-minded, neither pecuniary nor benevolent nor ulterior (to use some common species of ``motive``).

you take care too. :-)

Tahmed:

By saying ``other motive`` I don`t imply ``dark motives.``

Why be so negative? By the way, did you see some darkness in your own motives that you felt like stating that ?

If not, then let`s not take it further.

If yes, then welcome to the process of awareness.

Take it easy...

Zahraj #35 If you have anything specific I have written that you disagree with or consider offensive, I will be glad to discuss that. But just ascribing dark motives and references to the ``kind of posts`` i am writing is, I think, equivalent to not saying anything.

Zahra:
``Are you asking the writer to continue with this story or are you requesting him to write another one with a moving theme ?``
The latter!
