I knew it since the first time. I knew I was going to do it sooner or later. I didn’t find the strength to talk about this till now. Perhaps in this language, in this foreign tongue that it is not mine, I can say it easily. But wait, no, I didn’t kill her literally. I killed her when I left her. Not because I’m the best man on earth, the most beautiful, intelligent, nor even the best option for her, but because she loved me so much that she couldn’t believe it. Eleven years together. I definitel

Allah’s (God’s) strange creation………. human, so strange, so deep in nature.  Sometimes so deep like the ocean, full of suspense.  Sometimes, some facts of their 'nature' look like crystal clear pond.  On the other hand, some of their sides are opaque, hidden in the fog of suspense.  And when they are revealed, a lot of time has been elapsed.  Either we get forward ahead, or they have left us behind.  In relationships, if there is no transparency, but so much opaqueness that we could not see anyth

"Religion is based ... primarily and mainly upon fear. It is partly the terror of the unknown, and partly ... the wish to feel that you have a kind of elder brother who will stand by you in all your troubles and disputes. Fear is the basis of the whole thing-fear of the mysterious, fear of defeat, fear of death. Fear is the parent of cruelty, and therefore it is no wonder if cruelty and religion have gone hand-in-hand. It is because fear is at the basis of those two things. In this world we can

I am fed up with the negative narrative feed into Islamic discourse on media where few Islamic scriptures are misinterpreted  and  linked them to extremism or terrorism. Sadly to say the scholars invited on media like CNN and BBC can't answer their queries  with reference to context of this Hadith (saying of Muhammad peace be upon him). I have come across a debate on Islam where someone quoted the Hadith that  it is legitimate to kill someone who decided to leave Islam.

A majestic bird with golden plumage landed on a rock in front of the ocean.  A tiny fish poked out his head, drawn by the beauty of the bird.

With haughtiness the bird began to speak:

B:   Have you ever been in the blue sky?

F: No, I haven't, but I have been in the blue and fascinating ocean full of life and mystery.

B: Have you ever touched the stars?

F: No, I haven't, but I have touched the brightest reefs on earth full of light and color.

B: Have you ever da

 Today is my mother's birthday. I planned to make a surprised for her. This evening, I called my father and told him what I had planning for my mom's birthday. On that time, my mom was not at home. She went to her friend's home. I called my brother to pick up her to going back to home. He lied to her that my father called her. When she arrived at home, she met my father and talked each other. I called again and asked  father if they are ready to surprised her. My big brother came in and bring th

THE BENCH

THAT TOUGH COLD WINTER passed taking with it those elongated nights and shortened days of light, melting with a beam of sunshine the last whitish snowflakes over the tight grass.

On a lonely corner was “the bench”….while dawning she opened her “ears” listening to a tender song of a small sparrow perching on a slight branch.

Lengthening her wooden arms, still yawning she opened her dazzled eyes. With a blurred vision she saw a colorful bouquet of newly budded flowers, two straight trees lo

It's very sad to know that preparing grade in my country destroys our kids minds, deprives them of living their childhood and prohibits them from acquiring their cultural heritage, such as Arabic.
Could you imaging that this grade only teaches about 20 key words of the mother tongue in the whole year?! The rest is nothing but exersices, exersices and more exersices witch do not teach kids neither time nor places or experiances!!
Kids don't need school tools under seven years old, they only need

-Oh, they don't miss me," she said. "I'm antisocial, they say. I don't mix. It's so strange. I'm very social indeed. It all depends on what you mean by social, doesn't it? Social to me means talking to you about things like this -she rattled* some chestnuts that had fallen o

Words have been said, a lot of them... Where did they come from? Thoughts have been thought, all kinds from around the world... Can we trust in ourselves? Actions have been performed by mankind... Do we know where are we going? It is said that people are awesome, that the spark of some god has been given to us. So, we have the fuel, the machine and the light... But, who made us? Do we need to know? Are we able to understand? Some kind of belief is needed to keep going, but it seems that faith ha

Well,l'm not sure that if other countries have superstitions or not, but l know that there are some superstitions in my country,China.

For example，the number 4 and 14,it means bad luck or die something,because number 4 pronuonce in chinese similar pronuonce die,so some people don't like to use number 4 or 14,when you in China,waiting an elevator，somethimes you will find it doesn't have number 4 elevator or fourth floor.

The Skype Call:

R: Hi, L! How have you been?

L: Hey, I am fine! I have just got a few free minutes and decided to open Skype. What about you?

R: I am not bad as well! I have just seen a cat, crossing the street and recalled the last topic of our previous conversation.

What's beauty?

The beauty has attraction. If anything or anyone apparently looks beautiful, but has no attraction for you is not beautiful for you. Two people look at the same thing from their own standpoints, so not necessarily induce the same. So let me say that beauty is in the eyes of beholders.

What's connection with love?

The beauty may not be confined to physical appearance, but it may dwell in internal personal quality which represents purity of soul if it deals the matter with patience, gr

In the morning, when I saw this picture, many thoughts came to my mind.  To get education is totally different than to get a certification. When we want to learn something, it really doesn't matter if our school is nice or not, the most important thing is to learn what we consider important or vital to our life, and learn it well.   Certification and status are totally different matters.

This is once again a dialogue (Blog) in response to Onee Chan's Writing challenge using

present perfect tense

L: Have you seen my heart honey, I am feeling my chest is empty?

B: You might have dropped somewhere on your way!

L: May be, sure, cause my all ways come to you, maybe I have already given my heart to you and forgot!

B: What do you mean "forgot"? Are there many whom you have been giving your heart and forgetting to whom it's been given?

L: Nnno no. I swear to you there is no one but you.

B: So,

 Dialogue between two friends.

Zara: Irene, did you see my laptop? Actually, I think I have taken it inside my bag before leaving home but now it is not here. You know, I am worrying, so can you help me to find it?

Irene: Sorry to hear, dear. I think, first you should make a phone call at home and ask your mom, and, anyway is it your  red colored Lapy?

Zara: Yes, yes, that red colored, have you seen it?

Irene: Yes, but, I saw it last week. Anyway, make a phone call!
