Pride hath a fall :-
Attending the interview of ASME (American Society for Mechanical Engineers) for the recruitment in the working body,
Interviewer (with a bold voice): Well well well ! Afzal ul Haq, applying for the marketing team.
Me : Well heard !
Interviewer (in an inquiring manner) : I have seen your work, you write well. Why marketing and not documentation?
Me (with pride): Well ! I am good in informal. I don't like being formal. I believe informal attracts people.
Interviewer : But not everything is formal, some are informal too, like captions !
Me: I would love to be a part of the caption team.
Interviewer (after a long discussion) : Great ! You can leave now.
I stood up from the seat, smiling with my neck straight. I am filled with confidence and pride and walking outside the room smiling at what I just heard. I never though I could be so famous. I opened the gate and took out my phone and, and I just heard "Naara-e-Takbeer" [God is (the) Greatest]. I raised my head and saw people switching the supports to the dead body's coffin by their shoulders. I saw that view, inclined down my head with a sad face and said to myself,
"You would be a star today or someday, but you will be in sand for sure, someday. Thank God to what you got, did, because what is given (fame) is mortal"
