We started our journey one day before of Eid-Ul-Fitor. It was the last day of one month long fasting here. But we knew it would be the Eid day in Dubai. We reached around 12 o'clock (mid-day) in Dubai airport.

Suddenly I heard some one was calling our names, why? Did we do any mistake! Instantly my husband rebuked me with a smile. It was about our hotel booking and a car was waiting for us.

We felt cold in the plane and almost started shivering inside Dubai airport. But, to my surprise, a hot wave

Wanted to look back

Wanted to see again

There was smile, forced and fake.

Wanted to ask

There was tears, unseen!

Darkness engulfed everything.

In the course of human history there has been some people who think they are always right and can decide what is good or bad for the rest of our society. Sometimes these "enlightened people" go far away and decide what kind of books people have to read and what books should be banned.

Well, I think we have the right to read what we want, as adults we can choose what is good for us. I don´t believe someone else must decide for you, even if he has good intentions.

I´ve read few books in my life, two

The newly-wed couple Bob and his wife Bonnie were on their way home, the villa that was near the village Bob's parents used to live. The couple did have a good time at the bar. 

It was Bonnie's birthday that day. Bob could have treated his wife to a banquet or a chic clothing boutique or an antique store or a barbecue, but only caught himself buying a bouquet of rose and settling down to have a drink with his wife at the bar.  Bob had had his hair cut at the barber's because he could have been ba

Page 300- Alice's Biography

As Alice stepped out into the morning sun she felt a slight chill of uncertainty suddenly gripped her senses but she gave herself a gentle nudge to remind her of the reason she was here.   The huge molave trees towered above her and the dense forest unveiled markings of a terrain astonishingly alien to modern civilization.  If it were not for the rows of wooden dainty houses behind her, it would seem that she was in some deserted Amazonian jungle.

Prefer English to Medicine

Expector had worked as a doctor in the hospital since he graduated from the medical shool 30 years ago. He enjoyed and was so proud of being a doctor. People did have respect for doctors, especially when he opted to learn medicine instead of any other subject. Besides, doctors could earn more money. 

He knew that it could be so demanding and stressful to be a doctor, though. People could freak out so much if they were ill - it was possible for them to call names,

It was a very pleasant day, when MI’s younger brother asked to go out for a walk on the beach.  MI was curious, because this was the last thing his younger brother would ask him, because he always liked to be in the company of friends rather than to go out with MI. 

‘Yes, what is it?” MI asked his brother.  They were walking on the beach, the sun seemed tired and wanting to lie down on the horizon. 

“We have, I mean we all, Mom, sister and other brothers decided t

This month, we are going to work on writing a page from our biography.  A biography is a book or article about a person's life. What is the most interesting part in a biography? Some people think the childhood is the most interesting part. Others like reading about the struggles of early marriage, career, or parenthood. We all hope that retirement or old age will be the best part of our lives. 

Even though we are writing about ours

“Hey you! Don’t make my meter down (make me angry) by cheating. I am noticing you have measured the cloth less than a metre! “I am sorry Sir”.
“Then, why did you do it in the first place. I must advise you to change this habit of yours. Mind my advice, otherwise I will message to the local authority and they will massage your neck (squeeze you). Now do not leave the piece of cloth loose. Pack it properly. If you keep continuing your cheating you will lose your business. Don’t you like to eat de

Today, I want to greet all the great people in the world. See! The sun that has no son rises from the east in the morning. The wind can’t win in the war of your mourning. I see you’re in daze these days. Indeed, you’d been being so weak for the whole last week.

I can hear your weeping from here. I can feel your beautiful eyes dropping tears so often. Like a dense smoke dancing in front of you, you haven’t seen the scene of happiness. Now, let’s have a seat for a while to take a seed of new enthus

Nowadays I have my life that looks like Niagara falls under control so it's natural that I feel exhausted or even sad and depressed sometimes. Anyway :) As a true choleric, I can't be sad more that 2 days so I was reading my Facebook and found a perfect quote that blows your positive thinking and turns your thoughts to another way. 

And the quote was very very simple. Just read it:

Generally speaking, the wise learn from mistakes of others. So reading and pondering over the events, stories, fairly tales, and mistakes of others enhances wisdom. When I used to ponder over the event of Adam (A.S)'s exile from Heaven, there were some questions bore in my mind that Allah from Whom nothing is hidden, how was it possible for the devil to tempt the Eve and Adam to eat wheat which was prohibited?. why didn't Allah interfere in the whole affairs?

The answers I got later that it's l
