“If a man gets his hands red with the blood of the innocent and he is conscious of this fact; he either spends the rest of his life in utter damnation and guilt or he commits further wreck still. He is a threat to the society as it stands. If such a person works hard, catches upon opportunity, is cunning, and has luck by his side he would turn the tables on the people. He sells massacre at the market, and
he hangs and rips people apart in squares. To be born rich and powerful becomes a tragedy and for the first time, poverty is
beautiful and desired. You won’t find poor,
hardworking, grinding workers broken easily, they are resilient, but the rich and elite, become agitated at the first instance of discomfort. The man who took innocent lives to better his position becomes the devil that haunts the elite and the few days they do get to spend are equal to a whole life full of the misery of the slaves they made of others.”

“Life is nothing but a mirage, what most people call living an act of delusion, and death then would perhaps be an oasis for it makes us face the realities we all have been running from our entire lives.”
Khuzema Ahmed, I Saw The Devil
“The saintlier a person appears, the more the devil thrives within, pulsating through their veins, ceaselessly vying for control over their mind, body, and spirit. It's
not solely about who they appear to be or what they conceal deep inside; it's about the person poised at the threshold of these two realms, weathering storms from both sides. Continuously battling, they strive to maintain sanity and uphold their character amidst the tempest.”
Khuzema Ahmed, I Saw The Devil
“We often sow the seeds of problems through our prejudices and perceptions. Sometimes, all it takes is a
shift in perspective and a deeper
understanding of the intricate connections
and unfolding of events to unravel these complexities.”
Khuzema Ahmed, I Saw The Devil
“The
closer you are to someone, the more it hurts
when they leave.”
Khuzema Ahmed, I Saw The Devil
“Love isn't about necessity; it's
both a choice and a need. I aim to be her
choice as much as she is mine—not just a
need that she fulfills. While my nights were
serene on their own, she brought vibrant
hues to my days unlike anyone else.”
Khuzema Ahmed, I Saw The Devil
“Whether it was brief
moments shared or being connected through
his thoughts, he couldn't release himself from
thoughts of her. Even as years passed and his
hope and desire waned, memories of their
shared experiences lingered vividly in his
mind.”
Khuzema Ahmed, I Saw The Devil
“Eons of quietness and displaced discipline
nourish madness. It is the fragilities that one
never accepted that make one into a devil
that no one recognizes.”
Khuzema Ahmed, I Saw The Devil
“For an uncertain reason, he felt pulled to her
against all his fears, his intentions, and his
experiences. All his mind could do was how
to get close to this person in blood and flesh.”
Khuzema Ahmed, I Saw The Devil
“The world often appears
monochromatic until we venture into it with
others.”
Khuzema Ahmed, I Saw The Devil
“Money
and power drive the masses, while degrees
define their worth. The true essence of a
person fades, replaced by conformity.
Professions, once a conduit for service, now
merely serve for financial gain. What worth is
a profession when it enslaves your will,
subdues your passions into an abyss, numbs
emotions, and submits your faculties to a
rigid system?”
Khuzema Ahmed, I Saw The Devil
“The quest for money,
resources, and power would only end in war
and deaths, blood spilled across continents,
blasts brightening up the night sky and
children watching in amazement at the
spectacle unaware of their impending deaths.
And as humanity gets wiped out the things
that disgust us the most will emerge out of the
earth, feeding on the bodies and wastes,
mutating and enlarging in size, crawling, and
running where we once stomped feet.”
