Life's A Learning Experience

Late night I received a video message from one of my acquaintances. The video startled me and raised a million question about what is in the minds of those who claim to fight in the cause of Allah. It showed a group of "Islamic" fighters slitting the neck of a youth amidst the roar of Allah-hu-Akbar. I couldn't see it. My mind kept on repeating the scenes from the video. The innocent eyes of the youth kept haunting me. I felt guilty. His family would have never imagined a death like this. How cruel can we be...Allah would never allow such cruelty. Next day i sent a message to my friend telling him that the video was horrible. His reply shocked me..." they deserve this. Whoever comes in the way of Allah deserves this and more.." I realized his mentality was the same as those in the video. It's a shame that today's generation has taken violence to be the word of Allah. They claim to defending the honour of the Holy Prophet when actually the right way

It is a world of options...substitutes. U may opt for the other product if u don't like one. Every company claims to be the best manufacturer and would present to u the product in its best packaging to soothe ur eyes. It's marketing and it's absolutely fair to add all the 'Ps' available to create a marketing mix. Perfection is one of them. "Nothing is perfect" has become an old phrase now.. It's "we make it perfect" that sells. The sad part is humans are one of the things that is made "perfect" these days. Matrimonial sites claim "perfect partner", cosmetic surgeons claim "perfect figure resurrection", people look for "perfect love". It's sad to see people searching materialism in relationships. If Allah had wanted he would have created "perfect" humans (well he has..but if u talk about flaws then there is imperfection) Had he wanted, he would given us perfect partners, perfect eyes,

"JFM...January, February and March are the most important months...last chance to prove ur caliber and last chance to move ahead above the rest...." screamed a voice over my head. A self-motivated senior who was repeating the same verses his seniors had chanted when he was a on my profile. I like to chase targets coz when u complete them u get immense satisfaction, but these continuous reminders irritate me. Banks have targets on every profile whether it's the WD, teller or the BM itself. People opt for a give-and-take relationship. U give me leads for savings i shall give u leads for HSL, what goes around comes around. It becomes difficult to please everyone. U can't balance professional relationship and personal relationship. If u get along well with someone on the personal front and he may not be helping u out professionally, u r bound to report these things and then relationship gets bitter. Survival of a healthy relationship is tough in a competitive organizatio

I always wanted to write something...a book,an article or just a diary, anything that allows me to unburden my soul. This blog is not a window to my life but the small experiences we all have and relate with each other. I had a very optimistic 2014 until the last 2 months made it very suffocating for me to look forward to a new beginning. Sometimes I feel being patient is the only way out of our problems and other times I feel I must react and do something to change the outcome. Both things go in vain. My new year started with a trip around U.P. I traveled a lot. The chilling winters create a different atmosphere when u r traveling...though back breaking the trip made me realize it's important to keep going. U can't stop at a place for much time. U meet people, talk to them, like some and dislike most of them. I experienced what it is to eat on the outskirts of the city. What it is to drive on a foggy night on the steep slopes. When the world calendar was changing on 1st Ja
