To all them tea lovers out there.

Alternative Anthem

Put the kettle on
Put the kettle on
It is the British answer
to Armageddon.

Never mind taxes rise
Never mind trains are late
One thing you can be sure of
and that’s the kettle, mate.

It’s not whether you lose
It’s not whether you win
It’s whether or not
you’ve plugged the kettle in.

May the kettle ever hiss
May the kettle ever steam
It is the engine
that drives our nation’s dream.

Long live the kettle
that rules over us
May it be limescale free
and may it never rust.

Sing it on the beaches
Sing it from the housetops
The sun may set on empire
but the kettle never stops.

The last flight

When we are leaving this world for the next one, it shall be like a trip to another country...

Where details of that country won't be found in glamorous travel brochures,

but in the Holy Qura'an and the Hadiths.

Where our plane won't be Indian Air Lines, British Airways, Gulf Air or Emirates, but ‘Air Janazah’.

Where our luggage won't be the allowed 30 Kgs, but our deeds no matter how heavy they weigh..

You don't pay for excess luggage. They are carried free of charge, with your Creator's compliment.

Where our dress won't be a Pierre Cardin suit or the like but the white cotton shroud.

Where our perfume won't be Channel, Paco Rabane, but the camphor and attar.

Where our passports won't be Indian, British, French or American but ‘Al Islam’.

My favourite one so far is the second point: Not bearing grudges, makes you healthy. I think that is true.

As far as I see it, holding grudges is a black emotion. A black emotion needs to be rid of along with things like jealousy. It's all about achieving to be a better person with being aware of God in your surroundings.

And for the worriers: and chase away your worries by remembering the blessings that Allah has bestowed upon you.

For those who are too lazy (this is one of my black emotion/characteristics) to click on the link:

Was i being too harsh?

yeah...i guess im using my blog for personal matters, but isnt that what it is for?

Me: "WE'RE MOVING ON AND WE CAN'T STOP IT
as much as i would love to stop time and live these days again and again. i can't
college changes you and we will meet new people and change our own personalities, IT'S NATURAL" <--this is a quote from HER previous email that i copy pasted into mine

"we're moving on" <-- need i comment on this?
you'd love to stop these days. that means you dont expect any of "these days" to happen again.
"we will meet new people" that means you think we're going to forget the old?
"change our personalities" that means we wont be compatible anymore?

a perfectly innocent question.."how old are you?"

again, me and my weird sense of thinking...

whats the point of age?
Isnt just another social control agent?
to tell us what to do and what to not do at different time in our life? things that are/are not acceptable in society?

(and birthday parties. big money makers for shops.)

whats the point in keeping track of your age?
