Loneliness, a presence of someone who always has been there even before you were ;
the unseen side of being alone.
The forgotten vaguely in a touch …a scent …a pain light as a mist. . .
gone… leaving you to fathom what forever was without a name...
Here I am on the motivation of Expector's Blog Challenge: discourse markers
“Be Cheerful and Help Others to be Cheerful”.
It is a holy thing to discover life, a happy thing and the world, a place of joy. It may be considered that much of religion and philosophy have been so gloomy with their miserable fanaticism and persecutions and their grim theories of sin and atonement through asceticism, so in result it may be assumed that happy is the man who can ignore them and snatch a joyful moment. But i
Nowadays, I've noticed that MyEC members fight too much on the issues like gender and religion. It seems like everyone is too stubborn to understand other person's views. Irony is that people keep fighting and keep trying to convince others despite knowing the fact that they would never succeed in doing so. Everybody wants to speak, but nobody wants to listen, or more correctly, people only listen to get more reasons to continues their useless debate.
Sometimes I read people's comments and replie
"Awww, what a cute kid! What would you like to be when you grow up, honey?"
Pfft. As if that "kid" would give a flying fudge about the future. Do you remember this silly question? How many grown-ups have asked you this when you were desperately trying to wiggle so that they won't tousle your hair or get your nose? Kids live in a world that grown-ups are not allowed, if you will. Even if they get lucky enough and enter that magical world; they'd be confused as, um... well, you know.
They don't get
He was a Hijdra (ہجڑا) (a transvestite). His name was Raja. I always found him sitting or dancing under an oak tree. It seemed to be his living place. There was a rag folded with a pillow lying on one side of the tree, and a Pitcher with the water on the other side. Most of the time he used to hum while dancing,
“I am the lover of my beloved, I am the lover of my beloved, one day I will visit Him.”
When he sang, he pointed out to the shrine (the grave of the saint) nearby and then to the sk
I was born in 2014, unlike real world it was me who chose to come here. Some of us use our real names with our real pictures. Some of us choose a name randomly and some of us do some thinking about the name and the avatar that from the moment we sign in is going to represent our identity.
Just like real world there is so much to learn and discover if one is eager enough to learn. You will get to know good and bad people. If you come across bad people, you would get hurt, meanwhile you would gain
You know what do I think...
It is easy to tolerate my problems and sadness in life than tolerate others unhappiness and hardship in their life
Do you know why?
In the first state I am someone should act and could act to solve it ...but in the second case only I can see and maybe I can do a bit to help them ...Then I wish lucky for others at first...
Dear friends,
Once I ran into a nice statement and it went deep into my heart and touched it. I stopped for a while and thought. It is typical of me to overthink when I find a reason for thinking. After that, I find it a good opportunity to put the pen to the paper or my fingers to the keyboard and let my thoughts flow on a piece of paper or the computer screen. Those sentences goes right below (Note: These words may seem repeating and boring. But these are the thoughts passed through my mind for
Today I am full of positive energy, indeed I decided to think positive, to talk positive, to act positive, everything depends on us ....If we have less expectation from others, if we try to leave judging others, if we work only for humanity, if we leave to be self-centered, if we .....we will feel happiness
there are lots of if (provisions) for feeling luckiest .....but only one person is required to do them and it is me ...
Discourse markers? Unfamiliar to you, right? In fact, you use discourse markers more often than you may think.
A discourse marker is a word or phrase that is used to connect or organize what you say or write, for example, 'so', 'OK', 'right' and 'by the way/incidentally' are often used as discourse markers. Some people might call them 'linking words' or 'linking adverbials', though.
You may be familiar with the following discourse markers: as far as...is concerned, on the other hand, however, si
Eid is a smile. Eid is the joy that we feel inside our hearts and we share with others. Eid is the time of eating and drinking as a reward of fasting. Eid is taking and giving. Eid is forgiveness. Eid is the time to forget all the old grudging and be willingly to pardon those who oppressed us. Eid is the time for brotherhood and friendship. Eid is the time to give the poor what they need and be affectionate to them. Eid is the station for the warrior to rest and wait for the new arrivals. Eid i
Have you ever tried to count the time
in a heavy day...
Have you come to know
that there is nothing to say...
Have you been OK...
Have you not been OK...
what a day, this day...

Sometimes, it's not a choice to wait..
Sometimes, you find yourself judged of waiting, sentenced to missing.. and charged of memory..
Is it true that we spend our lives waiting..
Things, which will happen.. And, many other things which will never happen..

One year without EC? Wow, I made it, haha! My friends used to place their bets on me that I could never live without EC even for a year.
I won't say that they totally lost their bets. It's still true that EC will always be a favorite hangout for me. If not, I wouldn't be here trying to reconnect. The fact is, I am just stealing a portion of my tight schedule for my dearests here on EC. I left them suddenly without explanations and made them worry to the point of cursing me. (What a great
