Up in the sky

He told me about his wonderful journey; when the sun shines in the sky; she takes us up to the sky by her fingertips.  He described how beautiful it is to look at the earth from up in the sky. He told me how he transformed from liquid form into gas form; something like cloud. He told me how he was moved by wind every where in the sky and when the time was ripe he came back to earth again in shape of drop. He narrated his long journey among forest, fields, rivers and finally back to ocean. I aske

Selfish

Ignoring the other people's feelings and claiming that they are doing that for them more than they do it for themselves, that is what I call Selfish.

I have never been selfish in my life. I take less and give more. I take the blame and accept the bad part to be on me instead of blaming.

My reactions cannot be expected because me, myself. I cannot expect them and I keep it this way. I never changed myself for any reason and I was always told when I ask people what can I do for them "Stay as you are

What's In a Number?

As many of you know, we are trying to reach the goal of posting 460 blog posts this June. I just noticed that we have posted 399 blog posts. That made me so happy! It also made me think about posting my next blog. I realized that if I wrote and published my next blog post really quickly, I would have the 400th post! But, that would be breaking one of my own secrets of blogging. I'm sure by the time I finish this post and put it aside for a little while, another blogger will have already posted #

SURROUNDINGSAt the moment I'm lying on my bed trying not to fall asleep. Just over me there's a skylight, through it I can see white clouds passing by and occasionally some birds flying although I prefer the sound of rain.On my right there's a bedside table, on it there's a lamp, my car keys, my cell and the alarm clock I hate. In front of me there're two plaster shelves where some photographs from different countries I've visited are placed and a small T.V. I seldom use.On my left, there's a hu

Writing Challenge: Bloggers Unite

It's All About the Comments

  This is a noteworthy feature if you're in the blogosphere. Who don't want to be read and assessed when writing a blog post? I suppose most of us keep this in mind. I  refer not only the grammatical assessment, but also the critical view of the blog's topic by other members. We need other pointviews in order to enrich or solidify our world view. For me a good blog is a blog with a bunch of comments.

  Comments mean a post was read, understood and mainly was criticised,

We're still on target, which means we're quite likely to achieve our goal - 460 blogs for June. We'll try our best and keep blogging until the deadline. 

We're not sure whether we can make it or not, though. It's now everybody's guess.  'Big deal', but, what really matters is whether you've really learned something from blogging. 

I've learned a lot from this 'Blog June' writing challenge. I'll never give up before achieving a goal. I'll try my best whenever I'm trying to do something. You'll neve

Extravagance in Ramadan

Ramadan is a month for the worshiping of God, the almighty. If you remember, last year, we talked about it a great deal. We said that Its legitimacy from Qur'an comes from:   

 ((O you who believe!  Soam (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you that you might be pious))

This is verse 182 of Surat Albagara from the holy Qur'an.  It is the proof for its legality. From Sunnah, it is this Hadeeth narrated by Abdullah, son of Khalif Omar ibnul Khatab (May Allah be p

Our goal is 460 blogs for this month. There are still several days to go, so we should keep writing or blogging until the last day of this month.

Our active members here have tried so hard to write as many blogs as possible for this month's writing challenge. Some of the members have already published more than 30 blogs this month, and they're still writing for the challenge. That's really something - I take my hat off to them!

Some of our members, however, may think they have run out of ideas or

What is Ramadan ?

 Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Every day during this month, Muslims around the world spend the daylight hours in a complete fast. During the blessed month of Ramadan, Muslims all over the world abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs during the daylight hours. As a time to purify the soul, refocus attention on God, and practice self-sacrifice, Ramadan is much more than just not eating and drinking. Muslims are called upon to use this month to re-evaluate th

Yes, the idiom 'bite off more than you can chew' means 'attempt to do something that's too difficult for you or that you don't have enough time to do'. It seems I've bitten off more than I can chew. 

We're trying to reach our goal: 460 blogs for this month's 'Blog June' writing challenge, which means we need to write and read many more blogs than we did in any other month. 

I promised to write at least two blogs when I first left a comment on Tara's 'Blog June' writing challenge, but I've publishe

THE CHIEF GUEST ALWAYS COMES LAST.

Objects, animals, and people are all the offspring of Nature. Mankind is the most superior of all the creatures, and when created all the angels were ordered to prostrate before it. There were all creatures on earth prior to Man. Some think that there were Jins on earth and when God decided to place Adam on earth, the Jins were removed, and Mother Earth was decorated with all the beauties of Nature. Beautiful trees with the prettiest flowers of all colors were p

Yes, 'conversational' means casual and informal. Colloquial words and expressions are informal too. You may have noticed the difference between formal style and conversational style. 

You may sound informal as if you're just having a conversation or casual talk with someone. You're trying to convey your thoughts or opinion in an easy, conversational way, which may sound more natural and can be more persuasive or effective. 

Yes, too informal or casual isn't a good idea. For example, if you use suc

SURROUNDING

 I am in my bedroom. At the moment, I am sitting on the chair of a computer table and facing computer. My computer table is set near a window. Outside the window, it gives me a view of houses, trees, streets spreading before me and seems to go yonder. The view starts from near to far diminishing the things gradually.  On my left there is the door of the washroom. On my right, my wardrobe is standing. On the left of my behind, I have dressing table while at the back there is my bed by
