Wouldn't it have been great if the company amazon was owned by women and they just hired women? They could add an "s" to the name as well. I just think it would've been cool. Cooler than jeff bezos or amazon in general.
If you don't understand why someone has been grieving so much for so long, then consider yourself fortunate that you do not understand.

Aap ki yaad aati rahi raat bhar
Chandni dil dukhati rahi raat bhar
Gaah jalti hui gaah bujhti hui
Sham-e-gham jhilmilati rahi raat bhar
Koi khushbu badalti rahi pairahan
Koi tasvir gaati rahi raat bhar
Phir saba saya-e-shakh-e-gul ke tale
Koi qissa sunati rahi raat bhar
Jo na aaya use koi zanjir-e-dar
Har sada par bulati rahi raat bhar
Ek ummid se dil bahalta raha
Ik tamanna satati rahi raat bhar

There are thousands of poets and then there is Faiz. Once you start reading him there's no going back. Also, what a beautiful ghazal this is.
“I wanted to tell the book thief many things, about beauty and brutality. But what could I tell her about those things that she didn’t already know? I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race-that rarely do I ever simply estimate it. I wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant.”

I don't like you
Grab a seat and wait for me to give a fuck
When Jaun Elia said Ek hi shakhs ki baat hai maula, Sara jahan kisne manga hai
Kuch to baat hai is dhalti shaam mein
dil-e-udaas ko zehar pila jaati hai
Jisko roz bhulaate hai
Usi kambakht ki yaad dila jaati hai
contra toda autoridad, excepto mi mamá
Rukhsat hua falak se mera chaand is kadar,
ke fir mujhse aasman ki taraf dekha nhi gya!
My moon departured in this way that I couldn't be able again to look at the sky!
-What are you?-To define is to limit. They call me voltage. Because I've got a lot of potential, but I'm mostly negative.
