Premonition
I feel very uneasy. I do not know why. Its' just there... like something terrible is about to happen. I almost feel sick to my stomach and all I can sense around me seems like the doom is being invited. I don't if it will fall inside the family or happen outside... to everyone. I hope and pray that anything that is about to take place should be averted and all of us must be safe.
I still don't feel any better...

Hyprocrites
I don't like anything any more. I feel really scared and worried sick. How can people just assume for others to be nice? Only God knows the kind of persons they really are. When I see things around me, it shocks me that there exist folks who can do absolute crap! How can they? Don't they know that they are already under a responsibility? How dare they just shun away all that? What will their families assume when they come to hear of this?
It would be outright depressing and sad. Either they should change or their families must never ever figure that they are involved in such @#!$. Unbelievable!
I hate the people in this world. I so hate them sometimes. They don't deserve any kind of compassion from anyone! At ALL! I wish and pray that I never ever, ever meet such characters with such sick temperaments in my life or even be associated with them.

What's Your Reading Speed?
- The average person in business reads no faster than people did 100 years ago.
- The average reading speed is 200 – 250 words a minute in non-technical material – roughly 2 minutes per page.
- In technical material, the average reading rate is approx 50 – 75 words a minute – roughly 5 – 6 minutes per page.
- Total information is doubling every 9 months.
- Therefore we have to process information faster and faster just to maintain our existing knowledge level.
- 360 000 new titles are published each year in the English language alone.
- However, the average American college graduate only reads 5 books in his/her post-college lifetime.
- We therefore end up knowing more and more about less, and less and less about just about everything else.

Measurement
Units of Measurements suck!!! I mean who even thought of them? Centimetres, meters, hectometre, decameter...kilo? Nothing, nothing I say, will ever make me remember or even recall these stupid conversions. Ok maybe 'King Harry's Died Mother Did Not Cry Much' would be a little helpful but even that knowledge of mine got corrupted. Thanks to my friend she dusted the rust and I could recall (even she needs to thank me as I instigated her memory).
I seriously haven't the foggiest to how to even estimate the subject in estimation. They really need to scrap this from the school syllabus. It is absolutely of no use at least for me. I hope they become obsolete soon.

Bring Me to Life
The longest vacation spent in India. Two months and a week. I am sitting in my room, Double Agent Shell Pink working beside a window. The weather out is cloudy and beautiful! Might rain in awhile but the calmness outside and inside is soothing. I love the gray clouds specially in the mornings. The possibility of an impending rain keeps me occupied through out the day.
I love you gray clouds. Hang in there for me. Shield away the sunbeams. Shield away sharp thought. Bring me to life.

Abu Bakr
When Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) passed away, Umar (ra) was so stunned he almost lost consciousness. He refused to believe his death.
Abu Bakr (ra) had a more strong attitude. Abu Bakr (ra) said:
" And now, to he who worships Muhammad (pbuh), (he should know that) Muhammad is dead. But he who worships Allah, He is Ever Living and He never dies. Allah says:
'Muhammad is no more than a Messenger and indeed (many) Messengers have passed away before him. If he dies or is killed, will you then turn back on your heels (as disbelievers)? And he who turns back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah and Allah will give reward to those who are grateful.' "

End of Three Years!
I have finished college! The three years seem like they weren't three but more shorter. I almost hold a B.COM (C.A.) degree. Almost because I am waiting for my results. I have thought about what I am supposed to do after this but I really hope it happens for the best.

The deadline approaches for the parting.
Things have been prepared.
Yet! Subtle will be those issues that make the difference.

Solar Eclipse

'As Salatul Ja'amiah'. 'As Salatul Ja'amiah'. 'As Salatul Ja'amiah'. The words on a Friday morning that woke me up at 9. It was a clear and inviting voice. 'The Congregation Prayer' is what those words in Arabic mean. Are they calling for prayer? Is it time already? Is it from the mosque newly renovated that they want to hold Juma'ah prayers or is it for Solar eclipse?
My questions were answered shortly by my uncle, who came barging into the room as a person bringing glad tidings. I didnt comprehend one syllable he uttered. I got up from bed and went into my parents room. My mother had seen it. She asked me to come and see the eclipse. She looked amazed. I was wondering what would be visible at such a cloudy weather. I went and peered at they sky it was cloudy and foggy. My eyes settled on the sun. It was staring to eclipse and for the first time I spent my life on earth, I saw a solar eclipse! A breath of astonishment. The phenomenon in my field of vision was so beautiful! It pulled me close to it. I stole many peeks at the sun as I did not have any protective eye shades.
I grew up and had learnt about eclipses. What happens during that phase when the moon hides the sun it all its glory. How a small satellite body blocks out chunks of rays emitted from the sun and thereby plunging specific areas on earth into darkness and giving off joys of light for its spectators. Never had I seen such a manifestation of Allah's Might. His Makings and Doings.
I got hold of my camcorder and started shooting the eclipse. I captured a few minute video. I was awed when I saw the playback. Next time I hear about the eclipse I am going to prepare myself and never miss it ever again!

~GD~
We came up with the groups today. There are two groups of six. I and Kulsum form a same group whose name we are still pondering on. We decided to exchange our roles and she is now the Crux and I am the Myriad. I haven't even started ticking of names. Once I do that we need to reassemble and discuss a few stratergies. Once that is done we hope to Inshallah win this task.
what a time!
The day before we were told that the debate has been cancelled and instead we will have a Group Discussion. Apparently it would help us for our near future job placement. The idea didn't make the competition seem fair. So we, i.e. Kulsum and I came up with another stratergy to make this activity better. We finally banged on the right chord. It was my job then to tell Linu Ma'am and try convince her to adopt this plan.
I had to spend almost 15 mintues to make her perceive. She told that she would think about it. I was worried that she would change her mind and all that cottoning on would be a total waste of my time (as it is I couldn't have done anything better during that time). Then she comes to our class and she says that the group discussion has a new approach and she said the EXACT same thing I said. I felt so good that she really liked our idea. I was happy that after she told us and left our class I went to inform Kulsum about it.
I took Juhi with me and went to the 2nd year B.Com's class. I went into the class and asked if Juhi wanted to come in. I barely noticed that the teacherless class was quiet. Then I heard a voice that was similar to Sayeeda Ma'ams' voice. I practically entered the class and decided to go to Kulsums seat. Its only when ma'am spoke up she was dictating some test questions to them. I felt so embarrased as I did not have the foggiest that she was in class! I backtracked from the class and nearly stepped on Juhi's foot. I caught a glimpse of Nayefa and Kulsum laughing. I slapped my forehead in utter embarrasement. I tried to open the washroom door that was nearest to their class with my full force and it was locked and I just ended up banging myself against the door multiple times. I was moaning and had a strong urge to scream. But then all the teachers were sitting outside so I dragged myself to the other washroom, which I knew was open with a laughing Juhi in my awake. I was so speechless that I completely forgot to aplogize to ma'am. After all that emotion taking out I went headrush to my class just to find Sayeeda Ma'am again! She was talking to a friend of mine. I felt contrite and apologized. She said that it was alright. I got over it finally!
