But the thing I will never admit to anyone who's met me is how desperately I want to be loved, I don't think I could say it. How I want someone to hold my wrists and kiss my palms and smile at me, and want me, I want to be wanted and I don't know how long poetry or songs will substitute for being wanted.

My Lord I am truly in need of whatever good that You bestow on me! (Qur'an 28:24)
There comes a point in life where you just want better for yourself. A better life, better people, better energies, better routine, better faith, better health, better mental progression.
Antonio Canova (1757-1822) – Aphrodite et Adonis

I find it so fascinating that the names for some colours in Urdu are actually just descriptive words. Some examples: - aasmani - sky blue - aasman means sky and ‘i’ is added to make it an adjective just like ‘ly’ or ‘y’ is added to a noun in English - badaami - light brown - badaam means almond (they’re talking about the inside of an almond though) - bangani - purple - bangan means eggplant - gulabi - pink - gulab means rose (this is the ‘official’ word for pink in Urdu)
