To all the parents out there

I’m writing this in the middle of some research because I can’t sort of get this thing out of my head and it’s disturbing my work. Anywayz… This is to bring to the knowledge of many parents out there that good people are not born but made. The right time to make a person right or wrong is in his or her childhood. If you miss it then, it’s gone forever. Children are convinced by what people tell them and as they grow they realise the truth of it. It is ironical that a statement so obvious is so often neglected.

Life is not a tempest, nor is it a midsummer night’s dream. It is just a comedy of errors so take it as you like it.

Killer Secrets!

If a person claims to be open and transparent he/she should either fully adhere to it or not say it in the first place. People who say they have no secrets have the most. Their hearts are like mysterious treasure caves – only - the things you pick up, are not really gems. As for me I am not a completely open, nor a completely closed person. There are things that I wish not to disclose and there are others that I wish to share. Its a matter as simple as that. If people think they are being extraordinary by just claiming to be open and all sorts of everything that they actually are not and I think they are ought to shut up and stop giving a false impression of their personality. There’s no one in this world who can be 100% open even with the closest of friends or family. So there!

The Month of Self-control

So Ramadhan is here again...!
Fasting is for the total purification of the mind body and soul coupled with the right intention. Fasting did not originate with Islam. The Jews and the Christians were involved in fasting much before the coming of Islam. Islam however formalised and made it obligatory upon every healthy adult Muslim to observe fasting – controlling one’s self from worldly pleasure from dawn to dusk – and devoting one’s self in worship in the true spirit of Islam. Worship is not limited to mosques and prayer-places. It is rather the day-to-day life that one leads righteously. Although Ramadhan is known as the holy and blessed month, charity, prayer and all other forms of worship (doing good) is not limited to just these 30 days of the year; and should be enforced in every single day of our lives. Some people believe that religion is for the less intelligent well... each one is entitled to his/her own opinion. However, all religions speak of good things and the closer you stay to it, I guess the safer you are...

"Verily truth is from your lord, let him who will believe and let him who will disbelieve" (Quran 18:29)

Is variety really the spice of life?

Haven’t blogged in sometime coz it was hard to make time as well as nothing interesting enough to me, came up. It is interesting to try to learn and understand the minds and behavior of different people. Each one with their own specialties and weaknesses. It’s amazing we haven’t run out of combinations. Well we never know if they've been repeated.

With so much of ‘unusuality’ around, it’s amazing how everything becomes so usual and so boring with time. Even the things that mattered so much, don’t matter anymore.

Is it because new variety replaces the old?
Is too much variety good or bad?
Why are so many bored with blogging?
Why does time wear away everyting
Will I ever know the answers?
Is it worth the thought?
