Facebook.com

I am so addicted to Facebook these days! I cant believe it has become so 'in' with the crowd these days. No matter the age or gender, everyone is on it! Its a good way of staying connected.
Facebook is sort of a new social get-together place. Its not that new though, just new in this decade.
Its quite different from twitter and hi5, etc.
Loads of applications from games to quiz applications. Its like a little world of interests in there.
My favorite part is the sharing of pictures and status updates. Plus I love it when I find some long lost friend or out-of-touch relative. It feels so nice to be able to see a part of their life from so far away, after such a long time. Its really a good platform for staying in touch with everyone.
I'm not much interested in meeting new people, but, it really feels nice in staying connected with almost everyone.
Reading everyones status update keeps us informed of their life and updating our life helps us share a part of us with our family and friends.
Although like all things, Facebook also has its downsides. like the privacy options keep changing and usually the default settings almost always share everything openly. And there is no option of being invisible to unwanted people on its chat window, neither can you block someone on the chat. I also do not like the new look of the Home page. i liked the older version better. Plus the mobile application for Facebook is just plain pathetic. I rather use it on the full-site mode.
Even after all this, I'm still addicted. I just have to log in everyday to update my status or upload pics of my recent activity,or, to check on everyone else, or, just for the sake of feeling connected! :)

Qasim ibn Hasan ibn Ali at Kerbala

Hazrat Qasim was the (3rd whereas some places it says last) son of the 2nd Imam of Islam Hazrat Hasan e mujtaba ibn Ali e Murtaza( may peace be upon them) from Lady Umme Farwa. He was 3 years old at the time of his father's death and it is said that he was 13 ( 16 in other references) when he went to Kerbala with his uncle Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S). It is said that Hazrat Qasim was a very beautiful and well build boy. He was trained in combat along with Ali Akber son of Hussain by their uncle Abbas, the well known martyr of Kerbala and the dearest brother of Imam Hussain. Having a great warrior as his teacher,Qasim himself was excellent with the sword. It is said that the warriors from the Yazeedi army were surprised to see this youth fighting with such skill and spirit, they were taken aback and fled with fear when they saw him in action. But ultimately the fierce soul-less monsters of Iblees killed the handsome youth as soon as he became slow due to thirst and hunger of 3 days ...

The ending of a memorable beginning

The first day I entered my university was an adrenaline filled day. I was so excited and confused at the same time, that my mumma thought I had gone crazy. This was about 4 years ago. Now its my last academic year and truly it has been the most memorable time of my life! Its all coming to an end; the classes, the lectures, tension about notes and exams, fun at the 'Neem tree', confusing cafeteria food, expressions on the teacher's faces when we did not respond about, or forgot our assignment, and most of all the friends we made. This time is now coming to a very unexpectedly fast end. I remember when our session started we used to fuss about 5 years of study, it seemed such a long duration. We used to let time pass as if it was just too long. Leaving our work for the next day and the next and the next, until it was right on our heads. Making fun of each other just for the sake of laughing and than saying how much we love them, and the next second, making fun again. Never mi...

Making a decision about your studies is actually the easiest thing when you think about the other 'decisions ' in life...

When I was younger I was always told what was good for me, what my aims are and how I should follow them. In a way it was a good thing as it always helped clear my head of ridiculous ideas. I always had a path decided  for me so it was never hard to cross it. When I grew older again there was a guide available. At any time at any place, for whatsoever reason. Life was a piece of cake! Even then with everything on a platter, I behaved exactly like a normal stubborn teenager, and hated everything. I always thought I had the short end of the straw. . Life moved on and today I understand what life was. It's so ironic that even after reading a hundred kazillion sayings on youth and how people were naive, no youth has ever missed on naivety and stupidity at that precious age, and so,  neither have I. But that's not the point. Latter lessons and hardships are just as nerve wrecking as the childhood ones. Just the difference is that from the previous you learn but from adulthood y...
