Sometimes….

April 22, 2008 – 1:29 am

Sometimes you are just feeling down without any perceptible reason. Seemingly u may be laughing, enjoying yourself out but deep down inside u have this feeling that something is missing or perhaps something is going to go wrong. One reason for this downheartedness could be fear…..the fear of losing something or someone beloved. Sometime back I commented on someone’s blog that “worrying needlessly brings in more problems” but I feel now I myself ‘am falling victim to “needless worrying”. Apparently everything seems to be going pretty well in my life Alhamdulilah but I have got this feeling of void…there is a lot more that I want out of my life not in terms of materialistic wealth but definitely in terms of knowledge and social service. I want to gain more and more knowledge about my field and about deen.

The other thing that is disturbing me is the fear of losing my loved ones and my values and principles in search of satisfaction….in search of knowledge…good job….better education……I’m just feeling weird….I hope things get better with time

Also I’m feeling guilty…..what my family has done for me up until now can simply not be put into words…..they have done everything they could to comfort me and to give me a bright future….they still are doing , however, will I ever be able to repay even the smallest part of what they have done for me??

With such thoughts going inside my small head…i want to cry out loudly like this baby in the pic and wish my father comes…picks me up to calm me and hugs me tightly….miss u baba…I miss u :’( emoticon

Ousting the intruders out of my life!

April 19, 2008 – 12:42 am

Around 10 months back when i started my full-time job..i had firmly decided i would never let my work life disturb my family life…things went smoothly as I wanted them to go for a few weeks but then I became a machine….working day’n'night…..i got a lot of respect Alhamdulilah…importance..performance bonuses…recognition….offers to lead the team(which I turned down when I resigned…yup…I have RESIGNED) …but heck….i still feel I’m a LOSER…..i lost so many precious moments that I cud hav spent with my family…my mother…my brother…noone means to me more than they….I’m what I’m just because of my family….their support…their duaz……but it makes me feel pathetic to have realized now how much I have ignored my family and how have they kindly excused me everytime……i feel ashamed of myself….i feel I’m losing my allegiance to them….just for a few bucks….it’s just a bad deal….a worst decision that I never wanted to make but somehow my professional elements intruded in my personal space….but now I have decided to oust these intruders out of my life……work on restoring the work-family life balance back and don’t just be happy myself but above anything else…make my family happy……nothing worths the pleasant moments spent with one’s family…..I love u mummy, farhan and misss u baba emoticon

PS: If ur work is also taking over you personal life…u also oust the intruders out. Even though u can never recapture the lost time but u can still live thoroughly the times that have yet to come; by valuing ur family more than nething and neoone else.

Liars!

Liar: I do not lie

Me (thinking): Your face shows it all babes and more importantly (in the words of Faisal Qureshi) "Don’t insult my intelligence" emoticon

…and I hate it when people despite being on the wrong side, try to mould religion so as to use it to shield themselves.

Print Less, Save Trees!

Saw this in the signature of someone….it’s so good and since I myself ‘am a strong proponent of having a relatively "paperless" environment so, took it as a social responsibility to share it with others. Am about to add it to my signatrure as well
