Sam: When are you getting married?

Me: I am only 24

Sam: Yeh but half of your friends are either married, engaged or have a healthy relationship.

Me: If by a healthy relationship you mean talking late hours on the phone. I am better off it. The telecom service providers now shamelessly target young couples. The other day I saw this advert where a teenage girl was so proudly exclaiming:

Woh call nahe keta tau kia hua.. mai kerloongi (what if he duznt call…I’ll call him myslef)

Now wait a effing minute here. What are  we teaching these kids?

Sam: Okay, okay I got your point. But this doesn’t answer my first question.

Me: Yes it does, its not a competition. That if everyone is competing I should also enroll myself or if everyone is taking admission in the college so I have to do it as well.

Its not Sam’s fault. Walking down the aisle is the new trend in town for some odd reason. A close friend mine moved to USA for higher studies. So when ever I get to talk to him and he ask whats new in Karachi. I break the following news to him:

1. Shahzeb the nerd got married
2. CJ got restored
3. Umar Bengali got lucky and is engaged to some gurl in his family
   

NOW when he comes online the first question he asks;

” Who got married, engaged or divorced this time?”

Maybe it has to do with age and the fact that we all are grown ups now. And its normal to see people we grew up with are getting laid settling down. It all has to do with preferences, opportunities and the fact that whose paying the caterers; you or your old man Love got nothing to do with. Its just USP (Unique Selling Point) which is repeatedly used in SRK films. The same way Jamat e Islami uses Islam in their manifesto and Imran Khan uses justice while picking on young/old women.

Even now if you feel like missing out at something, ask your uncles, cousins and married friends what they are missing out. And trust me you will feel much better with your present freedom.

I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that’s real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar’s chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Hey there Delilah
What’s it like in New York City?
I’m a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can’t shine as bright as you
I swear it’s true

Hey there Delilah
Don’t you worry about the distance
I’m right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it’s my disguise
I’m by your side

Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I’ll pay the bills with this guitar
We’ll have it good
We’ll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I’ve got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I’d write it all
Even more in love with me you’d fall
We’d have it all

Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they’ve got planes and trains and cars
I’d walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we’ll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you’re to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don’t you miss me
Two more years and you’ll be done with school
And I’ll be making history like I do
You’ll know it’s all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here’s to you
This one’s for you

Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
What you do to me

It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence and the part about our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I remember thinking how did he know to put the pursuit part in there? That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue and maybe we can actually never have it. ‘No matter what!’

How did he know that?
