    بعضي از رمان ها هستند كه تا دنيا، دنيا است و تا آدم، آدم است خوانده مي شوند و هر نسلي به فراخور حالش از آنها لذت مي برد. بعضي از رمان ها هستند كه شايد حال و هواي يك دوره سياسي و يا تاريخي را داشته باشند اما چون بن و ريشه شان چيز ديگري است و قصه هاي انساني ماندگاري دارند، كمتر از ياد مي روند. بعضي از رمان ها هستند كه در دنياي ادبي امروز، نه فرم روايي متفاوتي دارند و نه سبك و سياق جديدي را موجب شده اند، اما به خاطر كشف مجدد دنياي درون خود، ارزش خواندن دارند. بعضي از رمان ها «دن آرام» هستند. اما بعضي از آدم ها هم هستند كه شاعرند. فارسي را مثل تمامي كوچه هاي صفي عليشاه مي شناسند، فرانسه شان هم زياد خوب نيست، اما خلاق اند و فرهنگ كوچه را جمع آوري كرده اند.
    به هر صورت دوران رمان هايي مانند دن آرام به سر آمده و شايد تنها اين هنر شاملو باشد كه مي تواند مردگان را زنده كند. روحش شاد.

    آنچه احساس خوبی به تو می دهد اعتماد کن.زندگی برای آن كسی ارزشمند می شود كه خوب آموخته با شد با همان اشتیاق به آینده بنگرد كه بگذشته نگاه می كند.زندگی هیچ تضمینی درباره آنچه در راه است نمی دهد اما برای کسانی که رویاهایشان را باور دارند هدیه ایست گرانبها.این تمام یك انگاره است كه به زیستن اعتبار میدهد.هیچ قسمت از زندگی نمی تواند تا ابد پایدار بماند و هیچ لحظه ای نمی تواند جای موج بلند غلطان و سیر دراز آهنگ زندگی در بستر سالهای عمر را بگیرد

    Ah! So it is not so much the cultivated garden that inspires you, but the natural wonders that stir the soul. Mountains and river valleys seem to have the best of everything, I must agree - trees, water, sky, earth, creatures of every sort. Sadly, I am not familiar with the terrain of Pakistani mountains - arid or lush, towering or rolling. Or maybe you have a little of all. If you do take photos there, I hope you'll set up a webpage so we can see what you find.

    Greetings friend, and fellow landscape lover. A book you might enjoy - Great Gardens of the World: In Search of Paradise by Penelope Hobhouse. Also, you might check out The Inward Garden and The Meaning of Gardens. All three are available on Amazon. Beautiful photography in each.

    I asked GOD to give me a Fresh Flower,
    He gave me an Ugly Cactus.
    I asked GOD to give me a Butterfly,
    He gave me a cattepillar.
    I was so disappointed and sad!
    A few days later, the Cactus grew beautiful flower on it and
    the cattepillar became a beautiful Butterfly.
    That is the way GOD makes thing. He made beautiful thing at the right time.
    So don't worry and be happy of what you have now.
    Coz you will never know what might come to you .
