Think about all the beginnings in your life and you would be surprised that there is no end to your beginning. Life starts when you are born. You begin to walk. You start to talk. Yet more new beginnings follow.
Fast forward, you grow up and meet someone and romance begins. You succeed at that and you begin life as two happily married adults. Maybe you even begin a family. Let's just say that life doesn't go on honkey dory forever and you begin an affair with someone somewhere. This is a paradigm shift in what you thought to be your ever lasting happily married life. Nothing lasts for ever so either your marriage ends; beginnings of a messy divorce. Or, say your affair goes South and begins a bitter long drawn war of whois-to-blame game. You begin to avoid phone calls and pretend you have not seen the text messages that you once looked forward to. So this marks a new beginning of sorts.
Life comes to death. Your legacy begins. Beginnings are never ending.
I have lost a lot of my published and unpublished work over the years to diaries, computer hard drives and, lately, to memory sticks. It seems only appropriate to find a home for my work on the world wide web for friends to see where was I going with my thoughts, when I am finally gone! You will see some samples of my shairi as well. -- A. Salahuddin
