Ramadan is here!

Another year bites the dust
another ramadan has come to us
a time of bountiful blessings
and merciful forgiveness,
the devil is caged the world seems cleaner
an air of piety settles around us...resolutions are made to be a better person, a better muslim, to fulfil zakaat to pray, to do taubah, to meet relatives...a time of delicious iftars and the countdown for eid

Ramadan Kareem!

The French Controversy Against The Abaya

when i was in india.....flipping through the newspaper i came across this headline that caught my eye, the burqa/abaya was going to be banned in france....reading further, it had really created an uproar it seemed but its actually very sad, wearing an abaya or head scarf is something that a muslim woman does on choice...even though in Islam it is incumbent upon her to actually start covering her head and bosom once attaining puberty...but its rather taken as a choice, i want to ask...that when a nun covers her self totally why isnt she questioned and looked down upon...rather she is regarded with respect
a woman in an abaya is respected in the gulf, where as once she steps out of it, she finds stuff like backward, inferior and un-modern thrown on her, but wearing an abaya actually symbolises a feeling of security and power, that even though she can very well not wear an abaya she makes the better choice of covering herself, we live in a world where people talk about freedom of rights and all that bullshit....but muslims all round the world are still looked down upon.

even the sharukh khan case where he was detained at the airport simply because of his name...and he himself has said that when he travels to the US often he is asked to take his clothes off for checking.....if such a world renowned actor is subjected to such treatment, what would the ordinary people be going through in various parts around the world

My first post=)!

I've always loved writing,reading blogs...always wished to have one of my own...
but I've always been afraid of the response I would receive...but thinking about it...i realised...its actually my thoughts which i want to put forward...so why in the world should i really care....coz whatever response ill receive would actually be constructive~~
anyways enough of all that
ive been pushed my a few friends and a cousin , in his words if my blog works well...i could very well start earning...he sees it as a gr8 way to earn fast cash!:P
but i dont really care...im just trying my hand at something new...venturing into an unknown territory kinda thing...and its something i dont usually do..i prefer to stay in my own shell with lots of fictional stories....and frankly saying ....the fiction i read has really warped my imagination,the way i think,talk and feel about myself....

anyway...mainly i was inspired to write a blog by my brothers best friend...who i must say is an awesome writer...i would love to write as well as the people whose blogs i read but its a far off thought
my moms just arrived from india...ill better go see her now
ciao!
