My 99th Post: Illusioned Beauty

Before stepping out the door, they keep staring at the mirror and keep praising their beauty....beauty which is a secret shared by them and their beloved mirror....like the witch in Snow White, if girls these days ever asked their mirrors the question saying "mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the prettiest of us all", first there would be a choice question in front of them...the mirror would definitely want to ask them whether they are talking about the natural beauty or about the plastic which they wear to shine in public....
Most of you might have guessed what I am talking about but let me clarify for the ones who ain't following me....I am talking about makeup used by girls these days....there was a time when there was makeup found upon a lady's face but these days, there is a face hidden behind makeup....the worst thing is that girls have really learnt how to paint their face....their art is so good that one can not decide whether a girl is beautiful or

not without perfectly washing her face....
Well it may seem that I over exagerated while defining the use of makeup but trust me, it is true....look at girls in your work environment...I ain't asking one to be a pervert but just observe the fact that when they are there in normal days, they are just girls or maybe one or two are too beautiful but still most are just normal girls but when those same arrive in a party, you won't even recognise any....they would just be like girls from a different city whom you would have never met before...proper makeup makes them just like angels fallen from the sky where as, they are just girls....
Makeup can make a piece of coal look like a diamond and that theory is used in this case...though the coal may rejoice for a while in the mask of a diamond, it would always remain a piece of coal at the end of the day....instead of going after something which it isn't, the coal should try and be proud of its beauty.....the immense black colour and its silver shine are enough to capture anyone's sight...but yes, it is true that people go after the one which glows more....though diamond is made from coal, people still want a diamond ring instead of a coal ring....
Am not off the target here, I am just trailing towards the thought that why does a girl needs to shower her face just to look beautiful....every time when one asks this, the answer comes that because she wants to look pretty in front of others....to the ones who think in this way, I have something to say....how can someone accept your beauty if you aren't even accepting it yourself? One lives with a doubt in her beauty and expects others to believe that she really is beautiful, can't really happen.....even when others would believe in her beauty, she would still have second thoughts...
There are dark complexioned girls who want to get a fairer colour and yet on the other hand there are fairer girls who try to get tan....beauty is just mumbled jumbled here....no one really believes one to be beautiful until and unless there is some artificial touching....be what you are and stay happy in what you have....don't try to perfect what was already perfected by our Creator....
So well girls, stop deceiving by bathing in makeup...sure at times one needs little touches to cover rough patches or stuff like that, but those should be touches not a complete paint job....act as human beings, not like a dented car which needs a spray or two....

My 41st Post: Chand Raat

A few days back, I wrote off a post upon the act of iftari....what goes on and what we feel during that time interval; wrote every detail and naming it the part of Ramadan....it feels as if that was only a week earlier when I included that post in my blog but no, the whole month passed away tonight....Ramadan of 2012 just ended, this blessed month won't be back for an other year now....who ever did good and fasted the whole month, would certainly receive his/her rewards and who so ever did bad, may Allah bless him/her and forgive all those encountered sins...

Well as the month ends, it is time for Eid....a day celebrated on the closure of the month after the sight of the crescent moon of a new month....in my region, Eid is going to knock on our door steps on 20th of August and today was the day to complete all the preparations for the upcoming parties!!

I have been busy in some chores since 3 days now....had a long list of shopping and some other work but still that wasn't as hectic as today....my arms really hurt right now because today was the final day and had to finish all the remaining things....today was the final fast and was the chand raat (night of the sight of a new moon)....

The day started as any other day of the month....I remained awake till sehri in order to blog and then after sehri was going to sleep but received a text from my buddy that he had arranged a football match...I knew how the day was going to be but still it was football....I just couldn't say no specially on the last day of Ramadan....it felt special....so instead of sleeping went out and played and won as well....the game ended with 4-3....came home, slept late so woke up late and the time was messed up....had to do some shopping and then gave time to the family....after everything, I started to wax my ride and after nearly 4 hours, told myself that now the job is done.....get freshened up and relax....

Well that was the summary of how I spent my day....but normally that was the least busiest schedule anyone would have....you should really check out the markets...they are flushed with people rushing from here and there....the shops seem to be filled with enough people to make them burst apart....I can still imagine a road jam and the drivers continuously honking and looking forward to get a perfect parking spot....housewives at home, would be busy in preparing delicious dishes for people like me to munch on....most of those dishes would be something sweet in order to fill hearts with love and to make a person drip nice words on the day of Eid....girls would be busy in getting their hands tattooed with mehandi....I hate mehandi but still me hating it doesn't makes any difference, just making a statement here.....

Everyone would be running here and there....someone would be shouting because their dress isn't perfectly stitched and on the other hand there would be a person among us all who couldn't get a hair cut and now the barber's shop is over crowded...everyone would be busy tonight in doing stuff....this all seems a fuss but still it is worth it....after a night's fuss, a beautiful day would arrive.....

Now it is my time to sign off because I have to wake up early for the Eid prayer....in all the work, I forgot to confirm the time for the Eid prayer but well got the information...just a few moments earlier, my elder cousin Yaqoob called to inquire about the time and then in the end told me to mention his name here...so here it is bha, you are mentioned in my post :) would see you at the prayer tomorrow insha-Allah and I exactly know what you are going to say so I would like to say sorry in advance :P

Take care everyone, hope you had a wonderful time today and keep yourself updated with my blog....do share and comment.....
