The Ballad of Reading Gaol is a poem by Oscar Wilde,

written in exile either in Berneval or in Dieppe, France, after his release from Reading Gaol.

This is a part from it

:

I know not whether Laws be right,
  Or whether Laws be wrong;
All that we know who lie in gaol
  Is that the wall is strong;
And that each day is like a year,
  A year whose days are long.

But this I know, that every Law
  That men have made for Man,
Since first Man took His brother's life,
  And the sad world began,
But straws the whea

How to write an interesting caption for a Wordless Wednesday Blog: By Expector Smith

Nowadays, a "friend" has got different meanings to different people based on their life experiences. Some claim that their lives have taken a U-turn just because of a single person they trusted. And then there are people who consider themselves to be lucky to have even a single friend in life.

Everyday, we come across many people at institution, workplace, etc. The bond we develop with each of them depends upon how intimate we get with them. I would like to share some of my own experiences.

Leaders ,trains and Doctors never come on time in India.

Here, I want to talk about doctors. It is an old proverb in India that "Doctor is the second God on this Earth" , and this second God check their patient with their full patience. Doctors working in government hospitals taking full advantage of their job and position, how can they lag behind in compression with other government employees in other departments. "Not to work properly and to be late as much as they can they need in their fundam

I was inspired by Abd Al-ghafoor Ajjour blog called MORBID LOVE.

This blog is in response to his poem which I just totally made up.  His poem is about a love story that didn't seem to end up well.  But all I was reading there was his side of the story.  I'm not saying that everything he said there wasn't true or exaggerated.  But the story is not complete without knowing her thoughts and feelings as well.  I am curious to hear her story.  It could be good or could be bad.  Her confessions may or

This week I came across an excellent blog post called The 101 Most Useful Websites (thanks @Miss Noor). It's a good blog post for three reasons:

Hi all!

The main reason I'm here is to improve my English. I live in the small village and have no possibilities to communicate with native speakers or any people who know English pretty well. What is more this is my first experience in joining social net works like this. I  know nothing about how it works. I realize that it sounds ridiculous but it's true. That's why I'd like to improve my computer skills. And the last but not least is to friend some new people and to find out a lot of interesti

EIHAD-UL-ADHA

THE FEAST OF SACRIFICE IN ISLAM

Islam celebrates two great festivals annually - Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha. First Eid-ul -Fitr, I wrote about it in my first blog. The second occurs about two months later during the month of Zil-Hajj when an animal is sacrificed in commemoration of Abraham's sacrifice of his son. This festival is incorporated in the great pilgrimage to Mecca which should properly be made during this month but it is also observed all over the Muslim world at the sam

Weak Heart
♥
Every time you love someone I cry
You love again and again and they hurt you
Every day you remind me, tell me why
Stop loving him, I did it and hope you too
♥
If my mind refuses him, you cry for him
You scare me, you make me doubt

♥
Love is a bitter taste I don’t want to relish
Heart; you see! You are my downfall
You made me lose my senses, don’t be selfish
If I love again, it’s your blame, I’m not a
