When Jahangir was asked about his one desire on his deathbed, he said, "Kashmir, the rest is worthless", which seems to be the guiding principle of India and Pakistan as well. A couplet that has become more famous than the poet who wrote it, Urfi, goes: Agar firdous bar rui-e-zameen ast, Hamin ast-o-hamin ast-o-hamin ast. In other words, if there is Paradise on earth, it is here, it is here, it is here. An outstanding example of the departing British and arriving Indians to create generational wars over a chimera. It can also take the form of an elephant surrounded by blind men, each convinced that a part of the problem is the whole of it that you had discussed in the class like some 3 months back as the introductory class of Statistics for Management.
Curiosity killed the Cat
too slow to react.
Though most use tact
The Reality in fact
Is that few know how to act.
