Mamma, how I miss you so!

Mamma, how I miss you so much,

It's been so much time away from home.

But I miss you every single moment,

Home is where you are, where you live.

I miss you every time I keep my hair brush down,

For it was you who did my hair till high school.

I miss your caring touch,

With your touch you can take away all my blues.

I miss you every time Alson calls me mama,

To test my limits.

I miss the moments I test your limits,

For you will laugh it out.

Far away, miles apart from where I live,

But thoughts of you make me okay.

When I face a dilemma,

I wonder how you will react in such a situation.

I know it won't be much longer now,

For the day I meet you and live with you.

But it's true we have our differences, 

That makes life the more interesting.

I love you from the moment I opened my eyes to this world,

But I know you loved me even before I was here.

I pray for your happiness,

Today, forever and hereafter!

These people I met...

I met you,

You complain of not having life long friends,

But you don't value friends.

I met the other,

You complain people cheating and not trusting you,

But you never stop spilling others beans, never keep your word and blow your own trumpets.

I met him,

You complain of not including you in the group,

But you never make time for the group.

I met her,

You complain of others not giving you time and spending quality time with you,

But you make others waste time on you and don't value their time.

I met another,

You complain of people not doing what you expect of them,

But you never meet peoples expectations.

I met your better half,

You complain of your spouse and kids sickness,

But you never realised the woes are of your words and doings.

If not NOW, when?

Don't wait life to happen to you. Plan, live and take actions to make it happening. Life goes at a faster pace than you think.

Don't wait wishing and thinking. Take the small steps and you will see the next one you have to take. Have faith!

Don't wait even if you are afraid of failure, it's part of living. It's a lesson - so don't miss the opportunity to learn.

Don't wait for success to come to you or opportunity to knock on your door. You have to go get it.

Don't wait for the perfect moment to do something. This might me the best timing. Better do it than regret the lost time.

Don't wait for the perfect person. Be the right person in someone else's life.

Don't wait for miracles. You are a miracle of Allah (swa).

Don't wait to do anything later. Do it now - this is the right time .

Every moment is a chance to be a better person.

Help Yourself: Be Kind

When I set my goals I try to set separate goals for my personal development. I believe personal development comes when you raise and challenge the outside world. Doing a social work, volunteer work and/or just simply being kind gives a good feeling. We have been conditioned within our society today to be filled with mistrust of other's motives. As the saying goes in Dhivehi ‘No one will gift without an ulterior motive (my translation of a proverb).

But it is time we get out of this nutshell and narrow thinking, be open and make the social dilemma our own problem to solve. Simple gestures can contribute to make a better life for us. I ask myself;

Why do most people stare at an individual who is struggling in market?
Why not just walk over to them, and offer to assist them?
Why do most people keep a secret when your colleague smells but back bite about it?
Why not advice on being more hygienic?
Why do most people laugh when someone fall? And make it more embarrassing for the person?
Why not the assist them to stand, you never know, the person might have a serious injury?

In today's world, too many people hesitate to help someone they see struggle, too many are afraid to get involved. People with altruistic characters, can perhaps put it forward; others may "catch on" to this mindset as well. There are many things you can do for others but actually in the process you are helping yourself to become a better person, making the Earth a better place to live.

Just Practice Random Acts of Kindness

Seek Happiness in Life

The whole purpose of living is seeking happiness in life. As the saying goes, you can have money but you can’t buy happiness. Whatever you do in life, the underlying purpose is to achieve happiness. The most important things that will give you happiness in life are simple. Thus, you can achieve happiness by mere change of your behavior.

1. Think Positive and Be Optimistic: Life throws many different situations; at times you are content, upset, sad or mad. Whatever the situation is, re-structure your thoughts about it positively. There are people out there who have faced the same or similar situations. For worse, people who have faced or are facing worse situations. Every happening in life is a lesson. A lesson learnt, whether good or bad.
How can you achieve Positive Thinking: Whenever your brain forces you to think of a negative situation, slide it through (like a picture slider) think something happy, something positive. Take the situation and take one action at a time to overcome. The cumulative of actions makes the situation better.

2. Good Relationships: Establishing a close group of friends, a caring life partner or family members close to you forms a good support system to you. In crisis or not they are always there. The emotional support and the companionship allows you be content in life. You get to enjoy the most expensive luxuries of life with minimal contribution.
How can you establish Good Relationship: The three pillars of relationship are Trust, Care and Respect, whether you call it a love affair or friendship or a family. Any relationship will become robust with strong pillars.

3. Live with Vigor: Make your mind, body and soul active. Engaged in some activity. Challenge your brain. When you become active, you use your time effectively and lack the time to get bore. Even at work or at home. Have a zest for life.
How can you be engaged: The simplest thing you can do to engage yourself is to set new Goals. Work and achieve goals. There are many things you need to make yourself engaged in new things. Simple and Stupid situation you successfully scrub your brain and body.

Faking to Make it

I see you everyday, you are all around me
Joking, smiling, laughing and making faces
But I don’t feel you, I don’t feel you around me
I miss you, Maybe it my conscience,
It might even be my imagination, an unrealistic
But what I know is that I miss you more

I don’t feel complete, Incompleteness is part of my life
The life I chose to love, without you forever
But who is to blame? Me? You? Or another?
Whoever it is, do you feel the same?
Do you feel what I feel?

I miss you to the core. The deep feeling makes me blue
Makes me sick,that’s how much I miss you!But do you miss me?

I search for you when you are around
Overlooking the inbetween lines
I need to call you but I can't
Rather I will make mayself suffer
N
Miss you more,
fake happiness, till I make it!

It's a Small World

Human Massacre

If Israel only seeks to stop the rocket attacks coming from Gaza as they claim, then surely a heavy assault and killing upwards of 900 people will not help. Mass violence and death does not send a clear signal of peace, and does not sway the civilians of Gaza towards peace.

The focus is on the innocent children of Gaza, attacking and killing schools and children unarmed have become a habit. Parents and loved ones are killed in front of the children, leaving them to shock and the emotional traumas. Talk about the human rights! Talk about the inhumanity! Where are the people who ‘blow trumpets’ about these? Where are they hiding?

To share a story I witnessed: A seven month child was placed on the track. The child can only crawl. Beauty radiated from the child. Smiling with toothless gums, waving the small arms and talking using children language. She was placed on the verge of the tracks cement placement. The Israeli soldier kicked the lovely baby, on the abdomen. The baby moved like a football moving into a goal. The baby dropped into the sea. The baby sank. Drowning but smiling; in front of my eyes. I was there, all along, I was there but I couldn’t do a thing. I dived in, but to my fear I couldn’t save the baby nor could I catch. The horror left me shaken.

I was shaken. Crying and scared I woke up. It was just a dream, where I tried to play the heroin. I am troubled and worried when awake or asleep. Wished, hoped and prayed god to give paradise to all martyrs. To relieve the pain and give courage beyond belief. To bestow PEACE! God will, if not no one will!

Bittersweet

The perfect couple! The most expensive wedding! A fully furnished apartment! And seven years of dating and courtship in bliss!

But after eleven difficult and torturous months of marriage she left her husband. When she finally made that decision she thought the worst was over. She stopped knowing him. They shocked each other by how swiftly they went from being the people who knew each other best in the world to being a pair of mutually incomprehensible strangers who ever lived.

At the abysmal fact that they both were bottom of strangeness was the fact tht they were both were doing something the other person would never have conceived possible: he never dreamed she would actually leave him, and she in her wildest imagination thought he would make it so difficult for her to go.

It was her belief that when she left her husband that that they could settle the practical matters in a few hours with a calculator, some common sense and a bit of goodwill towards the person they’d once loved. However, in few days she found that she was at a loss. How do you negotiate once you have offered everything? She could do nothing but wait for his counterproposal. Her guilt at having left him forbade her from thinking she should be allowed to keep even a dime of money she had made in the last decade. Not even any of her wedding or birthday gifts.

Time elapsed, without any word but silences were broken by his occasional communications reminding what a criminal jerk she was.

What was left of her was just her withered soul. She took her refuge from her nearest and closest friends: Mr. Loneliness and Ms. Depression!

The Butterfly

One day a small opening appeared on a cocoon. A man sat and watched the caterpillar for several hours as it struggled to force its body through the little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gone as far as it could and could go no further.

So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and cut off the remaining bit of cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, withered wings.

The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand, to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and withered wings. It never was able to fly.

In his kindness and love he did not understand, what he did was restricting cocoon. He did not realize the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were the way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into the wings so that it would be ready to fly once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon. However, his overlook at the cocoon could have helped the butterfly to protect itself.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. However, with the love many forget and do not allow the first bit of struggle. If a child’s life is build without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never fly.

At some point though we think we are flying, what we do is crawl. How many of us are crippled and would never accept it? Are we crawling, walking or flying?
