"Let there arise from amongst you a group(s) that calls to the good, enjoins the good and forbids the evil. They will be successful" [TMQ 3:104]

Now.. I realize people are ill at ease cuz of the stuff going on in Iraq.. and it's ofcourse understandable.. and ofcourse everyone has their own issues too... except fer Yazzie.. but she's weird... kiddin :) ... anyways.. gettin' back to the subject at hand.. as i was recently reminded from a post by Arshe ji, smiling is indeed a Sunnah.. I've decided we need to have a Smile Campaign around here... aint easy but if you put on juss one heartfelt smile in a day... one u really mean.. u'll probably birghten up someone's day... (ok i know i'm weird, sue me).. But this cant be a regular smile.. this has to be like an extraordinary smile... can be to anyone, parents, siblings, relatives, neighbours...friends.. Its your chioce.. I'll get the ball rollin'... I walked in from work today.. saw mom as soon as i walked in, gave her the biggest smile i've given in ages and gave her a hug... Thass my contribution.. Anyone else care to share??? (oh did i mention ice cream for everyone who shares their efforts!)

Come on people.. lets promote smiles for once! :)

Shoot to thrill So I just finished watching Inception (yes I know I am only a year or so behind the times). I took the plunge today with a full understanding (or so I thought) of the concept of the movie and what to expect. Oh Em Geeee... was I in for a shock and such an excellent one at that. A brilliantly executed idea and thankfully, for once, an original one. I have to say I cant remember the last time I watched a movie which wasnt a sequel, prequel, reboot or connected to some other movie idea/concept in some way, shape, form or aspect. Yes it can be argued it goes into the augmented reality side of things which has been used many times before but this is a very refreshing take on the genre. I like how the movie asked or answered questions that were popping into my head as I watched the movie (yes even though I do prefer the no brainer movies, but I do like to keep an inquisitive mind). One thing I couldnt believe is how the guy out of Third Rock from the sun actually pulled off a...

Friends As much as the title may sound like it relates to the TV series of the same name, this post has nothing to do with the over-the-hill-trying-to-be-funny-while-making-twats-of-themselves sitcom. Its about friends, the real ones. Now, I have to be honest here (not that I'm usually not honest) but I've been a bit of a skeptic of the friends-for-life cliche. Admittedly there are cases where it has happenned but its not as common as people might think it. I have a handful of friends who I know have made an impact on my life but dont think I'll always be in contact with. Nothing new there, its all part of life. Even though most people who know me refuse to believe tihs, but I'm a huge skeptic (Ok you're all probably wondering why I'm babbling on like this, so we'll randomly skip to the next paragraph and I'll tell you). 2 days ago I was talking to a friend who I shared a house with at one point in Cyprus. Quite a few of my friends in Cyprus ...

Paint it black Self pity in the world of make believe (or TV to you and me) is such an awesome tool for one to attain one's goals. There is always a character who is in the depths of despair and yet one simple act (usually by the antagonist in most cases) turns out to be the pivotal point where said character shrugs off the shackles of the self imposed desolation to go on and achieve the impossible (in the case of Indian movies, often defying the laws of physics on the way to overcoming said impossibility). Side note, I am only saying that based on the stereotypical views I have of Indian movies. In the real world however, self imposed despondency is much tougher to shake off. And in the case of an evergreen pessimist such as yours truly, it really does become a struggle (I just realised I started the last sentence with an And... tsk tsk... the shame!). There really is no simple solution, compounded more so by a feeling of loneliness that arises when one's immediate family is i...
