If they had senses , their hearts would also have melted away

“If they had senses , their hearts would also have melt away”

The membership count of the World of dreamers i.e. innovative and out-of-box thinking entreprenurs just got reduced by one count on Wednesday , October 5 , 2011 when Steve Jobbs , the founder of Apple computers i.e. one of the most famous brands ever known in terms of compuer technology.

The life story of this dreamer cum the no-nonsense editor is as dramatic as a beautiful bollywood storyline except that this one had a real tragic end without the familiar Indian-middle-class-family-women-crying happy-ending. The story begins when a certain Abdulfattah Jandali , a native of Syria , decided to travel to the United States to chase his dream of life i.e. do higher studies. There he somehow happened to cross the path of a certain Joanne Schieble , a German-American girl , and as they say in Bollywood , “when something is about to happen , the whole of the Universe just conspires to get it done” , the two fall in love and as it used to happen so often in that beautiful part of the World (and also happens so often now days) , the Syrian gentleman leaves the seed of his love in the womb of his beloved.

Now as so many times happen that the father of the girl did not agree in marriage , how could he accept a Syrian Muslim speaking a foreign tongue marrying his beautiful daughter. So the couple had a choice to make , either abort the baby or put him into an orphanage. After a long deliberation , they decided to take the second option.

A couple called Paul and Clara Jobbs , later adopted the child and Christened him as Steve Jobbs and the rest is history. The biological parents of Steve Jobbs married sometime later and they had a girl thistime within their wedlock , she is Mona Simpson , a famous novelist in her own rights. Steve Jobbs later went to build the relationship with her sister and mom but he never ever talked with her dad.

His dad was by this time ,a manager in a Casino in the United States and according to his own statement , he would have gone to grave but not take the initiative to make the first phone call to his son lest he thinks that his dad is coming to his once dejected son for his fame and fortune. In his own words , “"This might sound strange, though, but I am not prepared, even if either of us was on our deathbed, to pick up the phone to call him. Steve will have to do that as the Syrian pride in me does not want him ever to think I am after his fortune. I am not. I have my own money. What I don't have is my son ... and that saddens me."”
But Abdulfattah Jandali showed his love for his son in a different way , when the news got to him that Steve is fatally ill from cnacer , Jandali mailed him , his own complete medical history , hoping against hope that some miracle may happen.

But since this is not a bollywood story but a real world thing , the happy ending does not happen and as you know when Steve Jobbs took his last breath on this last Wednesday , his dad Abdulfattah Jandali was still waiting to hear from his son for the first time in his life.
That is why just after the world media broke the news about Steve Jobbs’s death , the youth in Syria have begun calling their apple made ipads and iphones as “isad”-s. Undoubtedly , had those devices had their own senses their hearts would also have melt away.
