sufi themes

an indian visiter to my blog wanted to know where he can get the mekaal hasan band cd sampooran. well if you want a nice package, then one can go online to http://www.mekaalhasanband.com/sampooran/store.htm

i wrote in great detail about this cd in the morning hoping to post the blog but lately i have been losing my text thanks to "connection timed out", i got so pissed that i got back to work cursing myself for not saving the blog - then feeling that i was being egotistical to think that i was writing pearls of wisdom

what i can write about right now is about a pretty long power outtage in karachi that lasted for more than 7 hours, i returned from a business meeting back to the office in pitch darkness, climbed several flights of stairs and got my stuff out. from the airport all the way to the beach there was complete closure of business

i reached home and my wife and my son were playing with the wax melting off the candles and she laughed. she told my son how i used to do this when i was his age, may be even younger, the power failures were even longer in those days - she and i would sit there for hours around candles making patterns of wax on our hands

i wrote about this and things of this sort a long time ago the song kabhi hum khoob surat thay & flood of memories unleashing in my head. are we not a bit sufi ourselves to associate power failures with memories of childhood & games played in pitch darkness in a more innocent simpler time

dont know about others but karachi has had some sexy weather over the past few weeks, thank God it is not humid tonight and the kids are more than happy to sleep close to the balcony my son still wanting to play with the candles some more and my daughter going on and on about the chipkali (lizard) that will come and gobble us up
