THANK YOU, NEWS KASHMIR MAGAZINE

Syed Mustafa Ahmad

I am thankful to you for providing me a chance to write. 

You are fit to be called the mirrors of society. My talent was given a platform by you. 

My mistakes were accepted by you. It needs a big heart and you do have.

 From social to political, you do touch economic and moral sectors. 

You helped me to run, when I could not crawl.You accepted me when rejection was the order of the day. 

Yes, I am thankful to you for providing me an opportunity;For journalism has lost its credibility. 

My words were my soul and my mistakes were the light of hope. Both made me to build and that is why I am going. 

I will miss my column in simple format.Well, I promised to come back again;But like Satyajit Ray’s servant “ Abraham “ I could not make it. 

Shamim Ahmad Shamim’s friend left the world and there came no disaster;In the same vein, mine quitting will be not against the order.

Let me peacefully like Buddha left my family in the dark night. 

I am trying to be a warrior to fight. Masroor Sahb says, “ Ye Shaam Ruzin Yethie Musalsal”, So I am leaving myself  in the darkest hour. 

Like Masroor has answers to tell, my answers are to be bold. Maturity comes when you are old.
