  It all starts with a rising increasing of vocabulary, since you'll be reading lots of texts so that you have solid f

There were colors in the sky, music in the air! Yes, it was a wholesome evening. Tatiana just returned from her class. And,  weekends was starting from next day. So, she thought she could get some free time for herself.

She was thinking what she should do fast. Nowadays, she could not eat anything. Everything which was served in their hostel- canteen seemed tasteless. Then, she decided to go to a restaurant to have snacks with her friend.

She rang and told him to come sharp, she felt really hungry

PARTING OF THE BELOVED

Just only one scene, indicates a full life full of torturing pain of parting, but even though, sometimes meeting would be more torturing than parting, as parting after meeting, after uniting, is just a mere hell........no human can tolerate.....
Just as if saying for her lover "Do not feel sad for not meeting me, maybe seeing my tears in leaving tear you.........and I may bear my own pain.......but how could I bear yours.............."
Pyramids are great graves for kings,

INNOCENT DAGGER

Sometimes we simply say ,”I am deleting you from my friends list, Or “I am deleting you from my life” .  So simple and plain words, but so sharp in cutting the heart.  I have heard these words from the one who claimed ones that she loved me out of all bounds, out of all normalcies, out of all norms and ethics of prevailing rule of love on earth.  I got steered, stared the screen of monitor in disbelief, tried hard to convince that there must be some misunderstanding, but all the i

BAD HABIT

One of my bad habit is that I can’t tolerate hot weather.  So when I am at home, I go to the wash room and soak myself (the entire body) and come back to sit under running fan.  It gives me relieve from the heat of the day, but at the same time it give be severe body pain at later time.  I throw my legs here and there on bed because of this pain, but I never stop soaking myself and sitting under the running fan, or under A/c.  It is a bad habit.  Isn’t it?

HOT WEATHER IN KARACHI

Karachi is sizzling with heat, last Friday 45 Celsius, record after a decade.  The problem is this that there is no difference in day and night temperature.  There is no significant drop of temperature during night. So far over 1000 deaths have been recorded because of heat stroke. I have just seen a peon of ours in the office, he was having canola attached to his hand.  I asked him what happened.  He told that last evening he fell unconscious because of dehydration, and br

God's Blessing is like a Gift

Our(human) nature is very strange, we can not be happy in any condition, we always run after the things, which we can not get, and when we are fail in getting,then we make complement from God, but actually that thing was not written in our luck.. and we always unhappy in all blessings,which we have...if we start to be happy in Blessings, then we can stay happy life, if we will do complement in everything which we have, we will not be able to live happy life..These bl

“God knows well when this boy will realize his responsibilities. It’s midnight and he isn’t home yet.” Asad’s mother was talking to herself. She was very much worried about his son Asad who was not very attentive with his studies; rather he used to stay out with his friends late in the night.  Asad’s father works in Dubai therefore, Asad paid no heed to his mother’s reprimands. That night, he once again was very late.

According to Tara's new statistics, the goal for 'Blog June' should have been 580 blogs rather than 460 blogs. 

I'm curious to know what could be your response to it:

Do you think the record is too unbelievable to break?

Are you shocked or surprised or disappointed by the number? Or will the number deter you from moving on for the goal?

Or you may think the announcement or revelation is a bit too late?

Or you'll just shrug it off and keep blogging until the deadline?

I know our active members here hav

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

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 #

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

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

 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
