In memory of Usman Ghouri (1969-2011)

And in between his drawings & stories it became impossible for me to sometimes separate the reality from dream.

One day while passing through Take Chand Street which has a lot of darzi's we saw a dress hanging outside on one of the shops and he said to me that Khoobsurat would look so fascinating in such a killer outfit. He stood at the darzi for a while and examined and appreciated that dress and showed such happy and geniune and bewildered interest in that dress that the tailor master came out, lit up, shared a small cup of tea with him and truly believed that he wants the dress for someone special.

In a deep dopeher dream i saw Khoobsurat wearing that yellow colored vision of sublime beauty, at sunset, by the river bank, Lab-e-Mehran.
