I know its all part and parcel of being a teenager....but still I hav eso much going on in my mind, I really dont know where to start.....First of all my University timing suck! As in they suck big time...On Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays I've got a class at 8 and another at 2....in the beginning i had a pretty cool timetable...but it turns out i was given two complete lectures in arabic....first day for the first class....i went and sat in the class nicely...it was all going well...until the sir came and started lecturing in arabic....i waited for him to start speaking in english...BUT NOOO he went on and on and on....and i was like ( beta...tu to gayi aaj--which means Im sooo screweddd!!)....but i really understood what the sir was trying to say soo it was all cool...but obviously...i couldnt go on...cuz i dont know arabic..soo i went and got it changed....arabic got cancelled and ill have to doit next semester...so im stuck with 12 credits...and theres nothing i can do...and if that wast enough...now i found out ill have to learn arabic completely if i need to finish this course...so everything went a little blank for me...and i started getting these weird gut feelings...which are totally confusing me....making me nervous...irritated and frustrated....but its waay better after i spoke to my friend...who always listens to what i have to say and then tells me im stupid:P
and it really helps...soo here to you F....thanks for being there always...

Never have I felt so socially awkward in my life
I just (finally ) joined university of sharjah:P
after 6 months of doing nothing...it really is very tiring getting up early, taking a shower, getting dressed, the usual stuff...but today morning...i totally felt out of my element...usually ima very adjustable person (Alhumdulilah)....but wearing glasses really makes me feel very very awkward...and since my contact lenses havent arrived yet...i had to make do with the glasses...Aaand...the first day of anything new makes me nervous..whether it was schoolin the past...or now in the university...and what added to my ire was the fact that almost everyone...and by that i mean more than 90% of the girls in the uni are arabs..and its no surprise that the main mode of communication is arabic...which i hardly understand...now its weird...cuz i knew it....and i still chose this uni because its not co ed...which keeps my dad at peace and me too....cuz the environment is mashAllah pretty Islamic...and i like that....inshAllah in the future once my writings improve and i gain enough knowledge...ill write my daily take on life from an Islamic prespective...anyways back to the topic...when i first entered the university...i felt kind of claustrophobic, A little worried and nervous...which makes me really clumsy....but Alhumdulilah by the end of the day..i was pretty comfortable....but walking down the hallways, totally alone and getting lost really made me feel awkward...even though no one was really paying attention....it was veyr weird....and i felt lonely...coz i literally knew no one..i got my schedule and attended my very first university class..and i was pretty startled by the freedom. I mean seriously, maybe the teacher was lenient because it was the first class but i was literally amazed, coz shes liek if we wanted to leave for some work...we could...anyways...my partner was a local girl called Iman...(i really like the name) and my first class was IT
pretty basic stuff...just an intro...
anyways....inshAllah ill adapt....because its human nature to get used to different surroundings
Allah has created us that way...it maybe weird in the start...but inshAllah He makes everything easy for us!

Inspiration
I'm actually a better reader than a writer...blogging is still very new to me..its because i have so many things going on in my head...i really dont know what to write at times..its like my mind is moving swiftly from one thing to another..i really wanted to write...but now when ive begun writing...i dont know where to start..
I've read some amazing blogs here....ive started small...just read a few but im really really inspired...i always wanted to write about religious teachings and my day to day life, what i go through as an indian teenager living in dubai who is often confused as an arab,..nothing great...but once i get into the flow of things...i will start writing much better...(ii hope so)......but i really have to limit my reading....since my eye number shoots up like nobodys business....my mum has also started to keep an eye on my pc timings...and everyone is lecturing me on taking care of my eyes...and i really do deserve it...knowing that my eyes are really weak and being myopic...i still never really cared....for the first week i was a good girl....avoiding the computer taking care of my time...and now ive reverted back to my reader...its like i need something to read...like(god forbid) a drug..and reading too much is really my vice...occasionally when mom gets angry she says....if i was to live without a computer i would die....and it really is true....i really cant imagine a life without computers and i really dont think anyone can...
what i really want to talk about is how we humans decide to change drastically....it goes on for a few days..before we bounce back into our old ways...like a smoker who decides to stop...goes on for a few days...and then goes back to smoking..and sometimes even more than the amount he smoked before...
i guess thats the problem with us...we lie in wait for something to inspire a change in us...like a perfume..when you apply it...you are smelling good...after sometime when the smell fades away...we need to apply more of it in order to keep smelling that way....the right amount of smell...we humans are in constant need of inspiration as our lives go on...and we really cant wait for something to come along and change us...change should be from within. And inspiration should also be found from within..!

Dubaii!!!!
My dubai My home
a website created my expatriates to show their solidarity with Dubai....really touching...i went and posted my thoughts aswelll....beacuse there are loads of us whose lives have been completely turned around by Dubai.....even though the financial crisis has made things difficult Dubai is still fighting and InshAllah it will climb back to its original position......it has always achieved the most difficult goals it had set for it...in a matter of less than 5-7 years it catapulted itself froma moderately known city to a city which is now mentioned in live with cities like new york and manhattan....bringing so much limelight to UAE as well....when its was booming...no one complained about the easiness with which everything was being done...no one even bothered to wonder how easy things were made.....and now when the going has become tough...everyone around the world has started to throw crap about this city...UAE isnt the only country hit by recession everyone is...! havent people heard the saying...you cant have a rainbow without any rain???! and still dubai has managed to survive....in sucha position its launched the burj Khalifa(m not really happy about the name though :P..)and the metro...meydaan is ready....the green line of metro is underway and almost.....this is dubai s way of showing"I Will Survive"...no one bothers to ask the people living here what do they think about whats happening to them...im sure the answer will be universal...tht we are all with dubai....
ive been living here all my life....ive seen dubai change...like loads of other people...and i cant imagine calling anyother place home!
and I thank Allah [SWT] for everything he has given to Dubai...and me
Kudos toH.H Sheikh Mohammed
