Old man and his dog

  An old man and his dog were walking along a country road, enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to the man that he had died. He remembered dying, and realized, too, that the dog had been dead for many years. He wondered where the road would lead them, and continued onward. After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall, white arch that gleamed in the sunlight. When he was standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother of pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He was pleased that he had finally arrived at heaven, and the man and his dog walked toward the gate. As he got closer, he saw someone sitting at a beautifully carved desk off to one side. When he was close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, but is this heaven?" "Yes, it is, sir," the man answered. "Wow! Would you happen t

Ignorance!!

Mine and the caliber of a taxi driver have no diffrence these days when it comes to the politics of my country!!

He wishes for the Cloths of Heaven

HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams

The Bucket List!!

On the way to another city I thought to use up my time and watch a new movie called The Bucket List, well odd to find such a slow pace movie about life these days, I haven't had a clue what the movie is going to be about, but it turned out to be a story about friendship, joy and life of two cancer patients Jack Nicholson and Morgon Freeman (Reason for me to watch the movie).

Little Prince!!

Oh, little prince! Bit by bit I came to understand the secrets of your sad little life. . . For a long time you had found your only entertainment in the quiet pleasure of looking at the sunset. I learned that new detail on the morning of the fourth day, when you said to me: "I am very fond of sunsets. Come, let us go look at a sunset now." "But we must wait," I said. "Wait? For what?" "For the sunset. We must wait until it is time." At first you seemed to be very much surprised. And then you laughed to yourself. You said to me: "I am always thinking that I am at home!" Just so. Everybody knows that when it is noon in the United States the sun is setting over France. If you could fly to France in one minute, you could go straight into the sunset, right from noon. Unfortunately, France is too far away for that. But on your tiny planet, my little prince, all you need do is move your chair a few steps. You can see the day end and the twilig

Children of men

I was wondering today as I saw a mother holding, her child in her arms about the experience parents have when they first time see their child, or when the first time child speaks, or smiles or even cries, or even take the first step, or hold their hands and walk with them, or the day when the child reads something and writes and goes to the school then collage, then university and then first day at job, and then their marriages and then having grand children. No doubt having a child is the most wonderful experience in our lives.

Rashee

Rashee made me cry today, My grandfather owned a dog whose name was Rashee, my grandfather used to tell me allot about him, how quick he was, how he tackled those beast which try to invade the crops, going went to known places and stayed up in night to look after him while my grandfather slept. There were allot of amazing thing which really make my grandfather remember Rashee for so long now, but the most amazing thing which he never forgets about Rashee is about his death, my grandfather told us that when Rashee knew that he is not going to live anymore, he ran far away from the home and died in a lonely place, he never wanted to make the owner sad for his death. I never understood that till today, as there are allot of things in life we understand in age, I thought sometimes we just try to put our pressure on other people around us, people we love and care, we push them hard and far, I learn from Rashee, never to make sad, people who love you and whom you love, when you are having pr

Underestimate!!

Few of my team mates and I went to eat Arabic Rice, rice were good, but one of my mate, wanted to have "Kahwa", which is kind of a Arabic tea, well he spent more than 15 minutes just to make understand the waiter about that tea he wanted, he called it with many names, but the waiter couldn't understand him, after too much effort my friends gave up, I kept the hand on the waiters shoulder and asked him "Tea" LOL, you got to see the faces of my friends as the waiter understood it. Funny thing is my friends underestimated the waiters English. It made me laugh so hard that tears came out of my eyes. Never underestimate anyone else you will only waste your own time :).

Happy Birthday Bro

I was standing on the bus stop when I switched on my mobile to see the reminders about my younger brother's birthday today, he is really a nice brother to me, really very understanding and caring. I just wanted to wish him Happy Birthday, May God bless him and show him the righteous path in life, give him ease in life and make in more wise and knowledgeable and more respectable. I wish I could have spent this Birthday with him, but we are brothers we are always in each other's hearts, distances sometime increase love and understanding between people and sometimes they decrease them also :).  

my life is applications....

I am in my office at the moment, well I love my work, no matter what I do I try to put my heart and soul into it ( mind also :) ), today I wonder what is my life these days, my sound card listening to some soft rock and hard rock songs? Communication devices, notes, Second life or development environment? or my word editors or spread sheets or email clients or few of my friends which by the way also discuss applications problems with me, and are all the time eager to talk about them. I wonder where my life outside the applications is. I live in the projects, my life is applications...thinking on the positive terms I shall say at least I have life :). I wonder we really miss the real life these days, people are not really connected as they were few years back, world is indeed becoming small, but people are becoming far.

Blogs

I changed the place again, well I have to change that because mother in law of my landlord was coming to live with them, my landlord asked me to leave the place. Well I moved out of there, went to live with few of my friends as the I haven't had time to search for a place in such a short time period, well anyways not I am living with my friends who live in a room which is by the way even smaller then the washroom I use to have 2 months back LOL. Well I am not complaining or I am not telling you my sad story, I will find something good in few days again, but I just told myself, hey did you ever thanked your God for what he gave you? Or did you ever realized before making the decisions what will you lose?. We are what we choose to be. Please don't pity me, that is the worst thing you can do to me, as once my dearest friend told me if I would smile at the problems, they would smile back at me.
