If an angel were to grant a wish, many would ask for wealth, comfort, or joy. Others would wish for health and happiness for those closest to them.
At other times, I might have chosen the same. But not today. Not at this moment...
At this very moment, my wish would be different. I would ask for the ability to conceal my emotions - my angst and pain - when they are caused by those I love, and for the power to not utter a word when an inner storm is stirred by their words or actions.
The deepest suffering rarely comes from strangers.
नहीं रखता दिल में कुछ,
रखता हूँ ज़ुबान पर
समझें न अपने भी कभी.....
