Alhamdulillah. Today was a very nice day in 'The Building' (meaning college). Had a very good discussion with my students regarding facebook and how lame it could get sometimes. They all had the same dumb theory to portray. Their (lame) excuse was that they stay in a place like Saudi Arabia where a mortal gets nothing to do except stare at the walls. Hence they decide to stare in a huge screen like the monitor of their PCs' or the smaller ones like that of their mobile phones.
I think I did speak well enough to at least see sense into them that Facebook doesn't actually fulfill their needs in anyways. People post such dumb statuses and ever dumber comments. With all their typos like 'lol', 'hahahahah' or even '.............................................' it makes such a eyebrow raising act. People kept in touch better in the old times. Letters or even unexpected calls makes the heart skip with so much joy that our work gets stopped the whole day. We reminisce on the past. Our times together, the stupid jokes we cracked, the pranks we played, the days we spent studying chapters and skipping them because we found it boring!
I remember I used to make such phone calls to my friends on the day before each exam and talk of everything but the subject and then recall to clarify it just to get lost in another babble of conversation. I know we have all been there.
Another great news which I received was that 'The Building' would remain open till March 30th!!! Enough time for me to complete my portions slowly inshallah! Allah fulfilled my dua.
Kulsum was also in an awesome mood. We had a marker-dotted-circle-mark on our hands and we kept high fiving each other. The mark is gone now though!
Have many things planned out for them tomorrow! Inshallah
