Every new day takes us one step closer to death

Yesterday gone, tomorrow faraway……..only an anticipation


Another day begins……….


As you open your eyes……..


First thing what comes to your mind?


First thing what do you hasten to do?


Do you stop for a second?


To think, to take a break!


Do you wonder about the fact that you lay half unconscious and now you are up on your feet?


Do you just start running?


With the thought who cares? Here I come!


Do you wonder?


Why, How!


how the universe goes on in the same pattern…….


Life goes on………


At last the day comes to an end……


What did you gain!


What did you learn!


What did you think!


Whose hand did you hold!


Which path did you take!


A day comes and a day passes by!


Would you let today be just another day


Even after knowing for sure it takes you only a step closer to death..


Wouldn’t you take a break and think !

Ramadan Mubaarik


Ramadan is a month in which Allah’s numerous blessings flow…hence with the beginning of Ramadan we are blessed with another chance, another chance to become a better Muslim ,a better human being…It’s the time to let go of all negative feelings ,to lend a helping hand….this is the time to strive hard to be a Muslim. To get the spiritual and physical benefit of fasting we should not only avoid food, but should not waste most time sleeping or in amusements…we should thank Allah, worship Allah, help those in need, avoid envy, jealousy backbiting …., learn more about Islam and share what you learn with others and it’s the time to make our hearts pure…What we should try is not to pass time, but to try to make use of each second, each minute of this blessed month worshipping Allah.

Wish all a blessed month of Ramadan..

Freedom of speech???


Criticism, constructive criticism is something we all need………We need to hear it ; what others have to say about us and we have to give our constructive criticism to others……..This can be defined as somewhat an obligation as a human……….The higher authority a person has the scale of this should get larger…….This is for the betterment of everyone around………This rule applies to families, offices, companies, institutions, and of course government too.


When we give constructive criticism it is an action of courage, sincerity , honesty and integrity and when we can listen to our weak points which comes in a constructive manner it shows we believe in the saying no one is perfect an there is always a lot of room for improvement…It takes courage to give constructive criticism and listen to your weak points


I would like to take an example regarding politics…….It’s almost always that the opposite cannot criticize the other party in a constructive way..This creates confusion in the mind of observers, listeners or readers……They fail to realize whom to listen to…..and this gives arise to lots of confusions and hatred……..


We should question people in authorities, we have a right to…..But those rights can be or should be exercised with in certain limits….The mutual respect should exist……. Attacking political figures personally , is it what we call freedom of speech? Using abusive language when criticizing others, cannot be called constructive criticism ..


We have a tendency to blame everything around us rather than our own selves for things that happen to us……….We cannot improve our own selves if we want the world to change before us, we have to change our own selves and our own thinking as well………..Let there be criticism……..But let it come with in limits, with in Islamic principles and values…………..

TVM......our local TV


If I am not mistaken it has been more than 30 years since TVM came in to existence……..

And TVM also has come through several stages to arrive at its present state…There are some good shows on TVM, I am sure and we should appreciate it, (like news etc…)

Media can play a major role in influencing the youth…..As people spend so much time in front of TV it is highly likely when they turn their attention elsewhere they have taken something from it…..have stored something in their brain…

We see dramas, songs, talk shows etc in TVM…it begins with hendhunuhendhunaa show..which I am not sure if it is a talk show, a variety show, a comedy show or what…..and the songs which comes in between makes it more confusing to categorize what kind of show exactly it is..

Nowadays when ever one tunes in to TVM, many a times what we see is some live event of Olympics….

I wonder how many people actually watch those……

And Heyyanbo happens to be many peoples favourite show..It can easily be defined as a variety show

Cause after the "naseyhathuge" bas comes a song..so it can easily be defined as a variety show…..But I guess the choice lies with in us, that is to take the wisdom in the naseyhathuge baskolhu or concentrate on the lyrics of the song which comes after it….The ultimate truth is we have to change ourselves and not wait till the "world" changes...

Isnt it funny?


Its funny that,


Its so easy to find fault in others, yet we never realize our own faults


Its so easy to talk bad about others, yet so difficult to tolerate when some one else talks bad about us.


We see faults everywhere we look around, but never a fault in us.


We see things in others they can improve, but never see anything in us which needs improving


We try to change the world, but never try to change ourselves.


We give good advice to others, but never advice our own selves.


We try to compete, others in worldly stuff, but never try to compete, one another in worshipping Allah.


We try to entertain ourselves in amusements, but are never satisfied


We try to look for contentment everywhere, but never seek contentment from Almighty Allah.


We want others to help us, but hesitate to help others.


We want others to love us, but do not love others.


We want kindness from others, but hesitate in being kind to others.


It’s funny, that its always I, myself, me……..


Its funny, that we are so selfish…………………
