No title...to be continued

Farid wanted to become a fortune teller.Why he wanted to become so,he did not have answer for.Or to say,he could never explain his reasons for becoming a fortune teller.As a child,Farid was an inquisitive one,always eager to know the details.His inquistiveness often bugged others and few at times used to get irritated with his sets of questions.Once,there was a death in his family;his grand father's younger brother had died and Farid's 1st question to his father was,why he died and where,he went after his death.

The efforts of Farid's family in offering superficial answers were hardly of any help.Each time Farid asked a question and he was told some answer or the another.For example,when he asked,how God made Eve from Adam's ribs,his grandmother told him,this was God's ways of doing things and it will have the logic beyond the reasoning of human beings.In this case Farid refused to believe that Eve can be created in such a way and was also of the opinion that,it was 1st Eve,who was created than say Adam.

Farid had his own theories to each event in history.For him,maybe the god did not exist and events happens basis the ability of any stakeholder's ability to reason out the future.Person with better reasoning abilities prevail.Often Farid could enter into heated discussions with his relatives and only reason Farid used to quiten down was,he was not sure of his own logic.To be fair to Farid,winning an argument hardly mattered to him and it was always about increasing his ability to reason.

Farid loved Mazars and often used to spend time at Mazars.He believed in some connection with the dead and for him,the dead were the invisible soul,who could understand truth.As one day,he told his mother,Ammi,till we are alive,its not possible for us to know things,reason - an obvious preoccupation with multi things at one time.Farid believed,it takes a death to get relieved from desires and tensions and one needs death,so as to know the answer for all ultimate questions.

Farid often had great doubts on all aspects,the biggest one of which was time and existence.He often distrusted calendars and believed maybe these were just figments of human being's imaginations.To him,maybe the time did not exist and today,tomorrow and yesterday were just words of token value.He could believe in staticism of time and often said,time does not pass and we just feel the time passes.For him units of time were literary tokens than alignment to any physical science.
