Unknown Reflection in the mirror

I looked at the mirror.
The law says the reflection inside the mirror is suppose to be mine.

Lo, i can not recognize me!
I look foreign to myself.

How its possible?

Is it so, that i never knew me properly before?
Or is it that in one night sometime you change a lot?

Have it ever occured to you that you look at the reflection of yourself in the mirror and you look unknown to yourself?

Today in the morning when i woke up and went to the wash room, watching me in the mirror ... i found myself quite unknown and unfamiliar to me. With bewilderment i looked again and again at the reflection. Yes it feels like i'm looking at someone else?

Why and how, i don't know!

  1. I sometimes feel like you too. In reality we are becoming old day after day besides changing of our feelings and our spirit which I hope will be for the best each day!

  2. I guess the illusion of selfhood is wearing thin, Sadiq... hence the Nasruddin joke...
