Thank you Khawab, Falsa and everyone else who prayed and supported me. May Allah answer all your prayers and may all of you be showered with happiness and prosperity, ameen.
The decision to cut off from my friends has backfired and everyone is really angry at me. I still don't know what I'm going to do about it.
Anyways, I'm doing something these days and I need your prayers to help me succeed.
Take care of yourself and keep smiling friends.

Life's Action Replay
Friday, 15 February 2008: My Brother calls me in the office and informs me. I immediately leave the office to reach him. My younger brother has forgotten his cell phone at home again and my youngest brother is at home.
All of this is what happened on Friday, 26 October 2008 when my dad left us. I reached the hospital and offered Jumma prayers and at 7:20 p.m. my world went into darkness.
This time it was the same and I made my way to the hospital because of my nani (maternal grandmother) but thankfully she is alive. My nani has been diagnosed with stomach cancer and it is terminal. At one point the doctors just said that she only has a few hours to live. We are all praying that she gets rest either through life or...
Life has suddenly taken so many turns that I just don't know what's happening. Everyone is devastated. My cousin is here from Canada and he is very close to my nani. He is extremely positive about my nani's condition and I can't bear to even think what his reaction would be if...
No one can ever know what its like to lose someone you love unless it happens to them and I pray that it never happens to anyone, ever. I've started to cut off myself from all of my friends whom I am close to because I don't know if I can take any more losses ( I just can't do anything about my relatives). I don't know if its the right thing to do but it seems right. I know everyone has to go one day and that is the biggest reality that there is but still... I don't know, pata nahi kia horaha hai, I just don't know.
I request all of you to please pray for my nani and for us.

Guest Post
A very dear friend wrote something and I just had to post it on my blog because I think it's simply beautiful. Do comment on what you think. Here it goes:
Although continuing on an ongoing quest with life I always end up assuming and accepting that I am safe and sound with all the best that I could have or could have happened to me.
People come and people go but some of them are not just people to the individual they are relating to they might are of additional significance and don’t like to be treated so generally as if one wakes up in the morning and had to have tea whether you want it or not.
Taking advantage of what we are and what we have towards what we will have in future is human nature. Just one glimpse on what we want completely deflects our attention from what we have and leaves us discontented and shattered and while all this is happening we just don’t realise that how it’s affecting others.
At times just being good is not good at all it’s also good to be bad sometimes after all we are humans and have a tendency to make mistakes and if we wont then we will be perfect that’s not good either.
Being calculative and seeking perfection can be good since it shows that we are trying for the best. Sometimes I wonder why not try something unusual or out of the ordinary, something that has never been done before although whatever has happened and will happen in future is also something unusual because you never know may be a miracle can happen.
We choose our ways and plan everything the way we want while striving towards this journey we just forget that life has its own way and maybe that is more productive for us as to what we have planned. It doesn’t means that we are just going with the flow it just accepting and living with what we have and trying our best to be satisfied with all that is around is although at a certain time in life everything needs our personal attention so that we can improve it or may be preserve it the way we had it or may be upgrade it to take the next step in life.
Have a look at a tree which has come out from a seed although the leaves in the tree are more then the days of our life but we can relate to it in some situations. When the tree shed it leaves in autumn and the green leaf starts to loose its gloss and smoothness while turning in yellow departing from the tree which once meant as life to it falls on the ground although very close to the bark but knows that there is no turning back. Maybe blown away by the wind or someone walked over it crushed the stiffness into ashes not even thinking once that this was life to what gives u shade in sunny days.
Depth of life is not six feet under the ground its real flavour is actually above it and as we all know sky has no limit.
Wow! The last part really makes you think, doesn't it?

Life
We're sitting in our homes and at times, we hear this announcement being made from the mosque, informing us that someone left this world, we hear it and carry on with our lives. The only person who feels it is the one who has gone through it.
On Friday, 26 October 2007, I lost my best friend, the person who made me who I am, how I am, my beloved Father. He left us all to meet his Creator. It was so sudden and so unexpected that I sometimes still feel that He's gone to work and will be back again. My father worked in Saudia Arabia and was here on His Eid vacations. I have never cried so much in my life and I stil can't believe that this has happened. I wish I go before everyone else.
I request all of you to please pray for him, may Allah rest his soul and may all his sins be forgiven and may he be granted a place in Jannat, ameen.
Life is the most unexpected thing in this universe. One day a person is right there, laughing, making jokes, loving and caring and the next day he/she is not. Please remember us in your prayers.
Take lotsa care, keep smiling and keep blogging.

Happy Birthday :)
I just noticed something, my posts are usually in the order of "rain", "me getting hurt", "my birthday" and then "Ramzan". (weird!!)
Anyways, as you might have guessed, it is my birthday today :)
Looking back at the twenty five years of my life, I would say that I have gained and lost a lot of people, things and friends. There have been times when it seemed really really difficult to be what I am and there have been times when I have been extremely happy (mashaAllah say)
I owe all the good times to the good people who surround me, to my friends, to the people who wish me every year, no matter what, to the people who have been there whenever I need them, to my family and friends :)
I know none of you will see this post and being the introvert person that I am, I might not be able to say this to you but I really am grateful when I say thank you.
This year the celebration was different. A dear friend and colleague emailed all staff to gather in the cafeteria at lunch time and brought a cake and well, it was a very very pleasant surprise. (and the cake was really delicious too :p)
I wish all of you happiness and ramzan mubarak. May all your prayers come true.
Keep smiling and keep blogging my friends :)
PS: Everyone who forgot my birthday, dont worry, I wont forget YOU :p
PPS: I know this post is very random but thats how I am :)
