My 118th Post: Hilarious Life

One moment, I am sitting at my porch staring at the moon, just dreaming about my future...thinking about the best possible ways to get along and eventually getting my hopes high with the image in my mind that nothing is going to fall apart this time...nothing is going to stop me from achieving my dreams....nothing is going to leave my side, not this time....the next moment, I brush my jeans and move back in because life had something else coming for me....
Things don't really go the way we want them to...there is always something else stored for us in the back but we rarely come to know about it until it seems as if it were a joke...at times, it really feels as if we are the centre of a ring where life is our master and we are there just to please it....instead of getting rewards for our efforts, we are tricked into another act which follows the clouds of misery and sadness...it is just like one craving for water but instead gets plenty of food served....that someone wants a drink but no, life wants him/her to have food....
I don't know but life does sometimes seem to be a comedy act and it really seems that it is cruel and unfair but that is just our illusion....though at times we might think that we deserved something which someone else received, we are wrong.....the fact that we are humans, we look at things limiting the span of our future...we don't really think far because that isn't in our power....life knows what is good and what is bad for us....it knows when to serve us something and when to take away something....though the moment we might think that it was cruel and is playing jokes upon us but that is just our ignorance of the fact that nothing belongs to us more than our life and that makes it sure that life cares for us more than any human being alive....maybe that someone didn't get a drink because he/she would have started eating food after eliminating the thirst and that food might become a cause for his/her illness....
There is always a motive behind things.....though you didn't get something today, maybe you might get it tomorrow or maybe you would get something better....you would get what is better for you.....today's hurt might be a strong ally in the future...
Life really ain't hilarious much, though its ways are but that doesn't means that one should drown in the ideas composed by our high brain....so cheer up and look for the next sun rise to start all over again and search for the better option for our future....

My 101st Post: Hunger

It is the month of Ramadan going around in the entire world...all the Muslims might be fasting during this month and keeping their stomach empty for hours and hours....this month is believed to bring blessings and motivates the followers from committing further sins....during a fast, there are certain rules and regulations to keep in mind and the most important one is not to eat or drink anything...
People might think that I am weak while fasting because this is the first month in all my years when I really am feeling lack of food in my stomach....it is somehow tough for me this year to keep up with the fast but still, Allah is supporting me to maintain my fasts and keep a hold upon my hunger....

The best part of feeling hungry for me is that in my entire life time, this is the first time when I have connected with the poor....Masha-Allah I have been brought up in a family where am blessed by Allah to keep me well fed and well dressed....He never made me go to bed without food and never made me shiver in the cold winds....I have always had a roof above my head and I thank Him from the depth of my heart....this year, while fasting, I am beginning to realise what it is to pass a day without food....though the fast is only for few hours, there are people who go hungry for days and nights....during these few hours, when I churned the desire for food, I started wondering that what would it be to be poor...how do people survive when they have nothing to eat or drink....it is really tough....the strength from the body starts deteriorating and everything seems to fade away with time....it feels as if I am going to collapse if I don't take a nibble....nothing seems to cool the mind off and each and everything seems tasty to the eyes.....
There are people in this world who have nothing to eat or drink....they work hard but still in the end sit with there heads in their laps without a bite to swallow....how would the ones feel who have their families to support but they can't even fulfil their own hunger....world is tough for them...on the other hand, there are people like you and me who are blessed with enough food to suppress our hunger and are blessed with enough drinks to flood our throats....we never really realised what would it be like without food and water....how would we ever survive....
Well, I thank Allah for giving me this chance of understanding the importance of food and making me aware about the blessings He has bestowed upon me and my family....if it weren't for this month of Ramadan, I might never had been thankful for all the food am provided with, from my heart....I would have just taken it for granted but insha-Allah from this day on, I would always respect food and keep in mind that how well am blessed....I intentionally wrote this post while fasting because I wanted to pour out my feelings when am being irritated by my hungry stomach...
May He bless us all and may each and everyone be thankful to Him.....
