I went to pay my phone bill today, and saw this gentleman in the marketplace. Sufi Isthiyak Ahmed is 75-years-old and he's been a carpenter all his life, as well as a Sufi (read: a type of magician who can cure ailments of the soul). I talked to him for a while and he said the prettiest thing about what this world has taught him: "Everything there was to see, taste and learn... I've seen, tasted and learned. My stomach is full with life; I've sampled a little bit of everything. I'm an all-rounder."
