What’s your expectations at the Funeral & at the Wedding?

If you happen to attend for a Funeral, don’t expect any comfort from them because in this hour of grief, they needed you to be a part of them. Do not be a burden to them.

But if you are invited for a Wedding, Be there and have your own comfort as they really needed you to enjoy and to be a witness of this special day.

This is truly my own thoughts. You may agree or may not.

Constructive criticism is always Appreciated!

Kanniya Hot water spring / කන්නියා උණුදිය ලිං - Trincomalee District

Kanniya Hot Springs is famous hot well in Sri Lanka from the past. There are seven wells in a square shape.

The pre-history of Kanniya Hot water spring goes back Ravana era and the first written references to the Hot water sprin

Day two (Arafah)

We are on the second day of hajj. It's Thulhijjah 9th 1437 H. as we mentioned before, after sleeping in Minna, and after dawn prayer, the pilgrims will move to plain Arafah. This is the main corner of hajj. According to Prophet Mohammed, (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ((Al-hajj Arafah)). This simple phrase implies a great concept of the meaning of hajj.  It means that the whole hajj and its legality are confined in the effective day of Arafah. It means that hajj becomes valid o

Blog Challenge: it's and its

Are you familiar with the personal pronoun it? I hope so. Then, don't confuse it's with its

Yes, it's is a shortened form of 'it is' or  'it has' (a contraction), while its is the possesive of it

It may not be that easy to use them correctly, though - it's said that even native speakers confuse them. 

The possessive form of a noun has apostrope s ('s) added to it, e.g. Expector's, today's, but the possessive form of it is its (no apostrope).

Let's try to write a short paragraph or build a few se

Fork, brush and gullible humans

There's an old saying that goes like this; all that glitters is not gold; meaning the attractive external appearance of something is not; repeat NOT a reliable indication of its true nature. I neither know nor care who created this fantasy art, but it's eerily accurate as a pictorial example for the aforementioned proverb. Don't get me wrong; I'm a live version of ''We got tonight, who needs tomorrow?''; but I mean, come on! Even I, with that "If I'm 'bout to go down, I'll go down swingin'" atti

It will just take 2 minutes to read this and it will change your perspective….

Two men both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon. His bed was next the room’s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, where they had been on vacation etc...

Every afternoon, when the man on the bed by the window could sit

He is He

If you feel alone and sad
because of the hardships you are bearing
if you need someone to lean on
Just call and He is waiting

He is all you needed
your strongest tower, your friend
He is your day, your sun that will shine forever
He will be there for you when you feel grief
He is Jesus
As always

dull and lonesome
you are always afraid and worrisome
you can find hope with Jesus
salvation is a never ending happiness

you need to accept Him
acknowledge Him to your life
He is yesterday,

I am a dancer. Yes I am, a theater performer to be exact, I have been performing for 6 months now and I know my bones are a bit mature for this latest routine I have embraced for these last months, but I’m loving the show every week.  I can still remember and it seems like yesterday, I was just another crowd to watch how those performers moved gracefully on stage.  Commonly, when I initiate to reveal this entertaining portion of my life, people tend to think naughty things, hahaha! I’m puzzled.

A thought, for the life.....

You can buy, a House

But can’t buy, a Family

You can buy, a Bed

But can’t buy, Sleep

You can buy, Books

But can’t buy, Knowledge

You can buy, a Clock 

But can’t buy, Time

You can buy, Position

But can’t Buy, Honour

You can Buy Blood

But can’t Buy, Life–span

You can Buy Marriage             

But can’t buy Love

You can buy many comfortable things

But can’t buy Pleasure

Life is not Money,

Money is not Everything!

Early in the morning you wake up

Staring at our faces with love all in wrap

You prepare the food and the other stuff

Waiting for Your children to open eyes to see your love

You extend your hands though it could be tiring

Exhaustion doesn’t prevent you in presenting your unconditional compassion

Some of Your children refuse to acknowledge, that the affection you’ve shown is genuine

They pledged how paradoxical it was to be associated with you, it is a mere imagination

You lean your ears to them; they don

"Love" In Phrasal Verbs:

This is in the inspiration of Danny's Phrasal Verbs:

She was not beautiful, but I was blown away by her personality.  Every time I met her I felt butterflies in my stomach, and my entire-self got blown off.  I always tried to blow her out of my mind, but in vain.  Her rare personality impressed me very much.  Then one day it dawned upon me, “Am I in love?!”

The island of love

There is an island, the island of love....  it seems like a lost paradise.
This island is filled with flowers, colored birds sing their tune... you can smell the fragrance and lose the senses. It is this island with green meadows, clear rivers, blue lakes, fruits on the trees and grain on the fields. The high sky with sun and moon separates day and night.
Listen to the melody of silence ... only birds sing ... to open our souls and make our hearts beat, let vanish the doubts to believe in love.
