خیال کا خیال رکھنے کا خیال بھی آج کل خیال میں خیال کو خیال دکھا رہا ہے اور اُسی کے خیال میں مگن یہ والے خیال میاں خیال ہوا چاہتے ہیں ۔خیال کا خیال رکھنے کا خیال بھی آج کل خیال ہی بن کر رہ گیا۔۔۔ ۔۔
اللہ تعالٰی استقامت سے نوازیں۔
یہ خیال تو کبھی خیال سے نہ گزرا تھا کہ ایک خیال اس قدر خیال کی آمد کا باعث ہوگا کہ جملے خیالو خیال ہو جائیں گے۔۔۔۔خیال کا خیال رکھنے کا خیال بھی آج کل خیال میں خیال کو خیال دکھا رہا ہے اور اُسی کے خیال میں مگن یہ والے خیال میاں خیال ہوا چاہتے ہیں ۔
اب تو عثمان بھائی کی شادی بھی ہو گئیان صاحب کو اس کوچے کی اعزازی ممبرشپ دینی پڑے گی:
I was once on a US military ship, having breakfast in the wardroom (officers lounge) when the Operations Officer (OPS) walks in. This guy was the definition of NOT a morning person; he's still half asleep, bleary eyed... basically a zombie with a bagel. He sits down across from me to eat his bagel and is just barely conscious. My back is to the outboard side of the ship, and the morning sun is blazing in one of the portholes putting a big bright-ass circle of light right on his barely conscious face. He's squinting and chewing and basically just remembering how to be alive for today. It's painful to watch.
But then zombie-OPS stops chewing, slowly picks up the phone, and dials the bridge. In his well-known I'm-still-totally-asleep voice, he says "heeeey. It's OPS. Could you... shift our barpat... yeah, one six five. Thanks." And puts the phone down. And then he just sits there. Squinting. Waiting.
And then, ever so slowly, I realize that that big blazing spot of sun has begun to slide off the zombie's face and onto the wall behind him. After a moment it clears his face and he blinks slowly a few times and the brilliant beauty of what I've just witnessed begins to overwhelm me. By ordering the bridge to adjust the ship's back-and-forth patrol by about 15 degrees, he's changed our course just enough to reposition the sun off of his face. He's literally just redirected thousands of tons of steel and hundreds of people so that he could get the sun out of his eyes while he eats his bagel. I am in awe.
He slowly picks up his bagel and for a moment I'm terrified at the thought that his own genius may escape him, that he may never appreciate the epic brilliance of his laziness (since he's not going to wake up for another hour). But between his next bites he pauses, looks at me, and gives me the faintest, sly grin, before returning to gnaw slowly on his zombie bagel.

یہ آرامدہ جملہ پڑھ کر ایک لطیفہ یاد آ گیا:
اس کوچے کے ایک بندے نے سوچا کہ کیوں نہ ترکیب دیکھ کر بریانی بنائی جائے۔
لیکن ترکیب کا پہلا جملہ پڑھ کر ہی اُس نے اپنا پروگرام ختم کردیا۔
پہلے جملے میں لکھا تھا : "ایک صاف برتن لیں" ۔
Must feel at homeمیں سستی کے مارے اس تھریڈ پر کبھی نہیں آیا کہ آلکساں کا مطلب نہیں معلوم۔
