Naqsh Faryadi: A verse
http://thegoofysufi.blogspot.com/2010/10/verse.html
Sunday, October 24, 2010. I had written this verse about two years ago.and like all my great ideas, it occurred to me at the most unlikeliest of places (no need to mention that), at about three in the morning.

Had god been a human, a mirror would have sufficed. October 24, 2010 at 4:46 PM. View my complete profile.

Sunday, January 10, 2010. The Curious Case of the Aam Aadmi. It is an oft said cliche.The jholiwala. Intellectuals say it,the. Politicians say it and we,the 'aam aadmi' say.
