ON THE BEAUTY OF ........

She sold smiles,

Love

And strength.

Yes! smiles.

Smiles with love and strength.

In return for each smile she would take a sorrow, a stress or a worry away.

Away they went into oblivion and in their stead another smile was born. Her bag was always full.

Too many sorrows..... maybe.

She was beautiful.....

yet invisible to so many.

It was a wonder, why people ignored her. Went by her daily. Ignoring!

So busy!

So full of themselves.

She would whirl past each and everyone with her beautiful robes yet....nothing.

Her robes were a beautiful red colour. A red fading into orange and then yellow.

She was beautiful and.....

believed in spreading that beauty. Yet .......

no one seemed interested.

It was rare that a lone soul or a child would notice her crimson beauty. They would look at her amazed. Entranced by her strong magical aura.

Yet she could see more.....

She could see the beautiful colours surrounding such people.
They had vibrant auras. Alive and curious.

Pulsating rhythmically, promising and stable.

They were the reliable, trust worthy souls.

(Unlike the smouldering grey and blackened auras of the lost souls. Lost and shielded from all beauty in a self created dark reality.)

She would give them small bags full of strength, love and smiles. She knew......

She knew they would help her.

She knew they could help the others come to her.

She knew the others needed time to break out , to break out of that ugliness they had created.

She would wait.

As she had before.

Forever.

It's not like the truth to hide, it's always there. Ever present. Invisible only to those who wish to ignore it. Who wish to lie. Who wish to exceed. Who wish to transgress. Who wish to pretend.

Those who can see her are the honest ones, the humble souls. The truly blessed.

Yes, the truth is beautiful.

Yet invisible to many!

On the Concept of haya and hijab in Islam.

THE COAL MINE OR THE STAR STUDDED SKY:                                                                                                                        Every deen has an innate character. The character of islam is modesty.” Al Muwatta 47.9 The mania of emancipating the Pakistan woman from the “alleged restraints “of religion and custom seems to increase with every passing day. The solution it seems, for our liberalists is quite easy. Complete denial of everything the least bit religious, be it the most logical and correct mode of behavior but since that is what religion demands, it has to be done away with! Everything which was good and simple is now orthodox and impractical. Modesty is no more considered a virtue with most of the Pakistani gentility. Modest men and women are becoming an endangered species. This fashionable disease of abhorring all that is good, simple and virtuous is spreading at such an alarming rate that even the middle and lower classes are catching i

ON RESPONSIBILITY!

The seemingly inconsequential fly buzzed around incessantly from one nose to another. Some were totally oblivious to its existence, Some bore its buzzing with a somewhat irritated expression while others shooed it away with a wave of their hand. Eventually,  it dived into a teacup. All hell broke loose. “Who let the fly in?”, “What a mess”, “Such a crappy building”, “Who left the window open?” “Who opened the window?”, “Why can’t you put a lid on your cup?”, “Why don’t we have fly screens for these doors and windows?”, “Why don’t we have a fly repellent?” A guy sitting on the far end folded his magazine and squatted the fly as soon as it landed on his desktop. That was ‘The End’ for the fly. (inspired from a real-life scene) We can roughly categorise the two kinds of behaviours/personalities described in the scenario above as ‘reactive’ and ‘proactive’. Out of these two our people fall into the ‘reactive’ category. A nation of reactive individuals who are not willing to tak

The truth unveiled!

VALENTINE’S DAY The truth unveiled 'Every deen has an innate character. The character of Islam is modesty.' Al Muwatta 47.9 HOW IT STARTED: Like most Christian festivals, the origin of Valentine’s Day also lies in the pagan Rome. In ancient Rome young men and women used to celebrate this festival where the women would write love letters and throw them in a huge pot. Then the men would choose their partners through lottery and would court (relationship before marriage) the girl whose letter came in their hands. (Webster’s family encyclopedia). According to the encyclopedia this festival has no direct or indirect link to the life of Saint Valentine (269 A.D). To make Christianity more popular and acceptable among the pagan masses, the Christian clergy added this festival to Christianity by celebrating this day as Saint Valentine’s Day. The myths regarding Saint Valentine giving his life for the sake of love and others are all false. WHERE DO WE ST
