  You all might have heard about the راستے کا پتھر and may have come across many spanners in works.  For instance, a black cat crosses your path of superstition, forcing you to turn back home, as there might be a terrible danger awaiting you. On the contrary, as you cross its path, the cat might be equally terrified and prone to getting into an accident. Another راستے کا پتھر that you may encounter and combat in your life is the necessary nuisance; sneaky relative. Not necessarily poor, but your relationship can be as poor as the beggars around the nook. Now, whatever you do, it's their utmost duty to intervene and have their unnecessary say about you and your life choices. Bear with them and keep your life as invisible as you can. These are superstitious spanners, hauling your growth, task, or work. However, there is another extraordinary kind of spanners in work that you may bump into. And believe me, bumping into these spanners will make your heart bleed. In fact, they may ...

 You might have read the first part of The Past Of A Journey , where I was stuck between space and time in a van. Not that I was stuck in the concept that recognizes the union of space and time or the spacetime curve. I was stuck in the limited space of the van with the "Coke ki botlain." and had limited time to make my journey successful. I had no choice but to look back at the long road on which the van was moving as delicately as a fat seal, strolling down a trail. After eons of waiting, we finally landed at the Faizabad station in Pindi. Oh, behold, it's just as you're about to dive in a sea of people and vans everywhere.

One can see people standing with vans yelling at the top of their voices about their transport services, which is no different from the one I took to reach here. Moving forward to the metro station, there are kids selling masks who stick to you like leeches and do not stop following...

Ever wondered what a one-day trip could be like? Well, let me take you through one. Not having had an adventure for quite a long time, my stomach started growling, as it was also bored of being the only victim of my boredom (eating, of course). And I was also bored of eating, given that I was mostly eating to evade boredom.  So, one dawn, it dawned on me to pay a visit to my sister's without breaking the news to anyone in the house. Hold on!! I am not alone on this journey; we all have a crime partner in our lives who stands with us through the silliest of things that we do ( here I'm dismissing the fact that most of the things that we do are not normal anyway). So, boredom and the urge for an adventure compelled us to plan to go out and have fun.  Boredom makes us do the craziest and most creative of things.   As I was asleep like a vegetable, dreaming about being on a fantastic trip, someone shook me out of that slumber to the real world, reminding me of the fact t...
