Three Stages Of Life

CHILDHOOD
Allah gave us countless blessings and childhood is one of these blessings. I have no words to explain the real joys of golden period, called childhood. When a child comes in this word, he knows noting about anything. First of all, he just observes that his parents and other relatives are looking towards him with happiness on their faces. He is totally ignorant about he meanings of sorrows, and other miseries of life, which are waiting for him in future. But these happy days are no too much longer.
When he reaches the age of round about 4 years, the pain rushed towards him. Now he has to go to school and in school definitely, he would have to do work there. Now, he wants to play all the time but he can’t do so. He is to do his homework; he has the tension for his next day in school. But still he is very relaxed. His one and only duty is to do his homework and all the remaining day is for him, which is promising for him, offering him lot of entertainment and joys.
At the age of fifteen, his troubles increase much. Now the burden of studies and work is increasing day by day. He has achieved some sense and aware with the fact that one day he is to die but still his not too much mature. According to him, death is natural phenomenon and everyone has to pass this one. And noting else. He did not know the pain of death, the sorrow that the relatives of dying person have to face and so on.
When he reaches the age of eighteen, his childhood has been passed to some extent and now he is going to say farewell to childhood and youth welcomes him.
YOUTH
Youth!!!! What a beautiful word!! According to the majority of people, youth is the golden era of one’s life but I personally not agree with this saying. According to me, childhood (1 to 15 years) is the only period of real joy and happiness. And who once lose it, he has noting left remain for him. anyhow, youth has itself a great blessing. A person feels himself the very powerful person who can do anything, which he wants. The word is still colorful for him or may be more colorful as compare to prior one. In this stage of life his most concern is to remain very neat and clean. He always tries to remain well dressed, and well mannered. Now he has been passed the matriculation(if he carries on his studies) and has been took admission in college. Here in college, no MOOLA BUKHSH” no roars of teachers and he finds himself more free and independent. He spends his days in the ground of college, makes new friends. And remain very cheerful all the day. In short, if you want to see happiness, the pure happiness then see any group sitting in the college ground. Just imagine that this is a winter day, and time is round about 1:30 PM, last period is going on and which is probably of Social Studies. Only the teacher and a little number of students are present in the class. And the majority of students are sitting in the sun on college ground. All their books and files are scattered around them. They are telling and listening the stories an7d jokes and no one is without laugh on his face. They look too much cheerful and if you want to see real, the real and only real happiness laughters, then find it on the faces of these college students. In this period of life, he enjoys his life to great extend. He enjoys movies, enjoys music and enjoys games. To watch games and to play games himself…… Ohhhh Youth you are match less
OLD AGE
Oh old age, you are noting but repentance. The world is so, dark and dull for old persons. They have lost respect, and totally ignored by the others. It seems as they are sitting on a railway station’s waiting room and waiting for the train same way they are waiting for their death. They have fear in their heart. They don’t want to go leaving all their relatives. But they know that they will have to go and when they look on their past life, it seems as they did noting good in their life. Just observe carefully their eyes. You will find them wet, sinking in tears all the time and they feel as they live very short period in the earth. Neither they can eat nor can drink. They can take hardly counted bites all the day. The grave is waiting him and hi is waiting his death. You can observe the wrinkles on the old faces and these wrinkles tell the plight of their present, they can nor move neither do anything. Just waiting for their death like that statue, which is placed in a dressing shop and looks all the people around him, same way old persons nor can speak properly neither can listen. They can just remember their past and repent for it. And they can just feel the steps of death, coming nearer and nearer to them, they can feel the darkness of grave, can imagine the pain of death, when they look towards the misdeeds done by them, they feel very little gape between them and hell. But still they have hopes that Allah will forgive them and I am sure that Allah is so merciful that He will forgive us the human beings. At last we are His creations so my Allah will ignore my faults and will forgive me. L

Our History Folder

The users of computer and internet are familiar with the history folder. While browsing, web pages, automatically store in this folder. This history folder contains the pages upto 20 days but user can increase or decrease the number of days according to the capacity of hard drive. If the system has large hard drive, user can increase the number of days to store the history of long time.
This history folder is very useful and we can browse this folder day wise, week wise or month wise. We can find our all visited web pages. If we want to browse this history folder, we find a shortcut available at our web browser. We just click and see all our history but where the actually data stored on the hard drive, very few people know it.
All this discussion was about a machine called computer and made by human. The history folder is no doubt much useful but still there is no problem if we delete history.
Now come to another machine which is the most complicated machine in this universe and that is human being. If a computer programmer thinks it important that there should be a history folder to store automatically all our events, then how it is possible that Allah doesn’t store all our activities in the history folder. Surely, every individual has his/her own unique history folder and not only our actions but our thinkings of mind also store there in history folder. Allah will open this history folder on judgment day and then we will find all our activities.
Like CCleaner, there are many other softwares available to maintain the system by deleting all harmful files store on the hard disk. Same way, “TOBA” deletes our unpleasant storage on our history folder.
But unluckily we don’t know that on which place our history is being saved. While looking towards the stars, an idea crossed to my mind that there may be some star dedicated to our history and all our incidents and activities automatically store there. Then I wished to visit that star or place where my history is being saved. How much it would be pleasant to browse all my history, day by day and year by year. But we were, we are and we will remain fail to find that storage media where our history is being stored.
System administrator gives limited rights to access the system with the fear that user can corrupt or damage some important files or work due to his/her limited skills and knowledge. Or in other words, system administrator thinks that user’s limited knowledge could be harmful for system, he restricts the user to only his concerned files. Same way, Allah restricts us to access such history storage place to view. But same time Allah provides us shortcuts to delete our black storage data. These shortcuts are our good deeds, well behavior, prayers, our tears (come out of our eyes to remembering our sins).
If we purchase new computer we find book manual to use it and following these guidelines of book manual, our computer will never go out of order. Same way, Allah also provides us our book manual to lead our life, and that is the Holly Quran.
In the end, if our system contains too much errors and unwanted data, we have an option to format the hard disk but doing so, we not only delete our unwanted data but also formatting deletes our important data. Allah also provides us opportunity to format our history. If we perform Hajj, it is as we format our history folder but here we only delete our black data, means sins.
May Allah give us strenghth to lead our life according to His guidelines written in the Holy Quran and practically performed by Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Sal-Allah-Ho-Elayhe- Wasalam. Aamin

Our Brothers in Offices

All the employees have to go to office early in the morning or in other words, office is a place where all the employees come daily to perform their assigned duties. Some people want to spend more and more time in the office where majority of the employees hates to perform routine office work. What the employees like and what they dislike it is other matter but there is reality that the employees spend all life in the offices. They just go home to spend night and then again early morning leave the home to go their offices. It means that employees spend the golden part of their life with the colleagues and attached deeply with one an other. But there is a bitter reality that after spending years and years together, there we find the vast gulfs between every individual. Every time they wait for any bit of other’s weak point to play with him and when they find such opportunity, the evil of their inner shines crystal clearly. So, I don’t know what to do on this plight should we laugh on this attitude or weep. On the one hand, it is so much plight of human nature that I take pity of the human nature but same time I want to mock this situation. Why this is so, they daily come, spend at least 8 hours daily on the same place and stay together for years but what they gain? Just poison for others and selfishness. If a person daily go our for a walk in any park or other place, he just complete one track in a day and still emotionally involved with trees and plants and if someday he find some plant missing, he gets worry in his mind about that plant. If we have some pet animal in our home we get attachment with even that animal and have some soft corner for that animal. But why we don’t care our colleagues are we worse than the animals and plants???? Now here just see how little things are which create abhorrence between employees.
The employees are very found of drinking tea. They enjoy tea at least three or four times daily. It is often observed that anyone face shortage of milk or sugar. Now he ask form other and when other gives his required thing, its well and good but if he replies in negative, first employee keeps in his mind and it is the seed of abhorrence. He will keep in his mind with reference of date and time and will take revenge when find any opportunity.
Newspaper is another thing which creates problems with employees. When one is reading newspapers others feels jealous that why he is reading it first and why his turn will come after the turn of other employee. Everyone wants to read the newspaper first but when the collection of money (against the bill of newspaper) is being in process everyone complains that his turn daily come after then lunch brake. So, why he is being said to pay for it?
If one employee is giving order to peon for water or tea and during this time, other employee calls the peon first employee will be very angry. That why the other interrupted the peon when he was talking to him?
If one employee flatters the boss, other employees feels jealously that why he is flattering the boss and then the first employee will describe to others and all the laugh when the flatter comes out of boss’s room in short everyone tries to get closer and closer to the boss.
So, when they find any one in trouble all the remaining employees enjoy his trouble and try all their best to pull his leg more and more.
But they majority of employees daily start their work with the name of Allah, use the screen savers of holly pictures of “KABA” and give maximum references of holy verses while talking.
Thank you for reading my post and spending your precious time.

Common Interests

Talking, chatting and sharing ideas are the most common sources to bring the people closer with each other. Where the minds and ideas match, there we find the growth of friendship. For example, even smoking can be the base of friendship between the two people, music and games can also bring the people close but if there is no any mutual interest between the people still they can come closer with the help of their interest.
Just to check this, start your conversation with anyone and while talking, start the topic of his/her most interested game, activity or even lover, soon you will feel that the other person to whom you are chatting, suddenly become more energetic. His dying and fading voice replace with energy and interest and with the help of that topic you can come closer to the other person.
What it shows, this is because of the fact that the people always love to talk about their interests. They feel much excitement while talking about their love and interest. First, they will hesitate but when you win the trust, you find the shortage of time to listen them.

FULL OF LIFE AREAS

Passing through the streets and roads, oftenly we find that some parts of the roads totally empty, presenting the picture of “Death Silence”, where you can only feel the voice of your foot steps mixing with the voice of your heart beat. And mostly, the children feel as someone is following them and with this thought, they start running as fast as they can, in short, these parts of roads and streets are too much important and there are many aspects to share about these “Silence Roads” but today I am going to write its opposite. There are some Places that present the life, life with all its zeal and zest. No matter its winter or summer nights, you can find such areas which, present the picture of fair and festival. But there are some basic requirements of such area
1. The area should not a part of upper class society
2. The people should not be much civilized
3. The families of such areas should have large number of children
4. That should be a over populated area
5. People must have something to share with each others

Above mentioned five points are compulsory and the following elements are optional which can enrich and energetic the area.
1. An old, but still green and energetic historical tree with large leaves
2. Street lights with yellow color (not Tube light or energy saver light)
3. Little unorganized play ground
4. A general store, with cigarette, PAAN, Cold Drink along with all other necessities of life
5. A Barbarian’s shop with playing music on large Speakers (Out side his shop)
6. A Small Bar B Q point
7. Billiard / Snooker tables in open Air
Now, I try to write that how they entertain their gatherings first of all I start from the kids.
The kids are enjoying as they presented in the poem “Echoing Green by William Blake” they have their tension free minds running behind the each others and continuously laughing, and pronouncing the voices. Their only aim is to catch the other boys or to make escape to be caught. A little group of the little girls is sitting beside, they are sharing the stories of their dolls or telling about their school friends. Now, little about the youth group. What an excellent period is that, full of hopes, ambitiousness, and courageous part of life. The large number of teenager boys sitting and standing in groups, all they know each others but still they are in groups. Most of them wearing T-Shirts and Jeans, and don’t afraid if you find the Satan’s picture, printed behind their shirt and some text on front of their shirts, the text should be “ NO FEAR”, “CHALLENGE ME, IF YOU DARE” or “ROCKING START” Whatever written or printed on the shirt, its no matter. Now, One group is standing around the general store, one of them, who is the main leader of the group, inhaling the cigarette with style, others are drinking cold drinks (without pipe) everybody is trying to insult the boss (just in joke), the boss is silence just smiling and exhaling the smoke from his nose while looking towards his shoes. He along with group, is aware with his ability that his only one sentence will be enough as the reply of his group fellows. Other group is also there, that is some fighter group. That group leader is wearing the T-shirt, printed John Cina’s picture and have wrest ring in his wrest. The members of the group look aggressive and they are conversing about their previous fights and describing about their links with bad reputed murderers personalities of the area. One young man is sitting alone, looks very depressed, playing with a piece of thread. Now and then he looks towards a closed window and then again gets busy with piece of thread. Perhaps he has lost the opportunity to build an eye connection through that closed window. Probably, he has lost his love and recalling the time when he was able to see his love through that closed window. But still that place and that window is the most important elements of the world. This is the ruins of his love palace and he still feels comfort along with melancholy. On the other hand matured persons of the area are drinking tea on a round table. One of them is criticizing the government policies and others look agree with him. They are aggressively throwing light on the plight of poor, unavailability of sugar and flour, high prices of things, in short they are trying to find out that who is real responsible for the situation. Now, talk about the old men of that society. Though, they are old but still cheerful, all are sitting in circle and playing cards with too much aggression and enjoying their game to great extends. So, this was the short description of an area, “Full of life”. This is not a special day like Eid day or any other festival but it’s their routine activity. All they are relaxed, they know they have performed their duties of the day and all these activities start after offering the Isha Prayer. The remaining night is their and they are utilizing the time according to their own mind. This is not a presentation of any specific area but you can find all my above mentioned characters and atmosphere in “Dhobi Ghaat”, “Railway Colony” or any other Factory Quarters, Whatever the area is, people are same, their delights and sorrows are same and their destination is same. This is their entertainment, community and friendship as well. Just near this gathering place, we find a “Silence City”, ”perpetual rest place”, the Graveyard. After attending the final stage (“The Card Players Company”) of this mysterious world, they will transfer to the nearby “Silence City”; the Graveyard. So, this is the place which, presents not only the life on its all stages but also the picture of death, the perpetual place of rest.
In the end, I like to visit these places and try to penetrate into the every individual’s mind so I can find and feel the joys, pleasures and sorrows of everyone. While travelling such place, I live the life of their. Sometime I feel the joy of running and jumping bare footed on the road or ground, sometime steal the love feelings of someone and find myself in the memories and ocean of his beloved’s eyes. And this state of mind has its own charm and mystical world. Sometimes I feels as I am a great fighter and I can easily murder someone, now I feel as I am the great player of billiard, then I snatch the feelings of that girl who is working inside her home but her attention is towards the window, the whispering breeze is connected with her heart and giving her messages that just look towards the window, someone is waiting for just one glance of her. Now, I feel the feelings and emotions of that person who’s mind is full of anger with the government and the government policies, then I find myself on the table of cards and I find myself restless to show my winning card to others. And finally I can feel the bitterest reality of every individual on the earth, that I am laying in my grave, there is loneliness and darkness everywhere but here too I am optimistic. I know we are all connected with relations and these relations based on love. Allah is the Creator of all the creatures and it is HE who created love too. If a lover can embrace death just because of his love, then how Allah, (who is the creator of Love) will Punch me. So, in the grave my love for Allah and Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Sal-Allah-Ho-Elay-Hey-Wasallam) will be enough for me and will with me in my grave Inshallah. Thank you for reading my post and spending your precious time.

FAREWELL SENSES

Here in this post I want to share a personal experience. As I work in a company and employee cards are mandatory for entry in office. The Security Guards are very strict in this matter. Sometimes, I forget my employee card at home, request him (security guard) to let me enter in the office but he forced me to go back home and bring the employee card, then he will allow me to enter in. Though, I am here in this office since last two years and almost all the security guards are familiar with me, they recognize me and daily exchange greetings. So, by chance if now, I forget my employee card they let me go inside the office but one of them is too strict. I never see smile on his face or politeness in his vice. When I find his duty on the main gate I never tried to request him to let me go inside the office because it’s the saying of my teacher “Don’t say that words or don’t perform that actions where you have not above 80% chances of success”. Now, as I know the strict nature of that security guard, I don’t have even 5% surety that my request (to enter in the office without card) will be granted. So, when I reach office first I check my employee card, if I have, I show it to him, he slightly nodes and I enter. In other case if I forget my card at home, and that specific guard is on duty, I turned back to home for my employee card. In short, all other security guards have some soft corner but that one specific security guard is typically represents the Adolf Hittler, stone hearted.
Now I draw your attention towards my other experience which is related to above mentioned text.
Mostly, it has been witnessed that whenever we have to stop at signal, we restlessly wait for the green light and mostly start our journey even before the light turns green. Now, if a pretty girl is crossing the road or walking along the road, all the bike rider’s neck will move like radar, targeted to that girl and they don’t ready to move even though the light turns green. The voices of car horns break their dilemma and forced them to move.
Every one of us is familiar with the worldly famous cartoon “Tom & Jerry” just recall the behavior of Tom when he saws some female cat in the cartoon or sometimes Jerry saws the female mouse.
And even in parks we find a large number of boys following the girls. They follow the girls like pet animals and are ready to move/travel behind girls even 10 km or more but will not ready to go at the corner of their street if their parents demand something to bring from the shop.

Now, again I come back to my starting paragraph in which, I was writing about the strict security guard. Though, he is an abominable personality due to his strict attitude but personally I was impressed by him due to his commitments and sincerity to his job. As it is his job to stop employees who don’t have their identity and strictness is also the part of his job, in short, according to me, he was a dutiful employee, fully committed to his job descriptions.
Last evening, when I was leaving the office I saw a brand new applied for Toyota Corolla that just stopped at front the main gate of our office and a modern girl came out of the car. She was not the employee of our office and was just stranger. Now, that strict guard was on duty at that time so, he became more attentive. That lady called him with his finger and he rushed towards her. Then she ordered him(security guard) to put a box (which was placed on the road) in her car, according to his(strict) personality, I was expecting that he will show rude attitude towards that girl and will say her to move the car from the front of the gate and will also inquire about the mysterious box which, was just placed on the road but he went opposite to my expectations. First, he himself tried to lift the box and to put it in her car but when he realized that box is too heavy and he could not lift it alone, he started to shout to his companion security guards “oh put the box into the car” now he trying to say it in Punjabi language and if we translate it in Punjabi in this way “OYE EAY DABBA GADI CH RAKH DIYOO” but he was so confused and out of his senses to see that modern girl that he was saying “OYE EAY GADDA DABI CH RAKH DIYO”, “OYE EAY GADDA DABI CH RAKH DIYO” “OYE EAY GADDA DABI CH RAKH DIYO”.

COWARDS ARE WINNER

The history of our planet “Earth” is full of heroes and heroism. There is long list of Knights and the stories of their chivalry and people always appreciate and seem impressed by these heroes and Knights. The braveness is considered the key of success and there is no doubt that power, courage and strength always appreciated.
After writing some words for the bravery and brave people, I would like to quote a poem “SUCCESS IS COUNTED SWEETEST” by: Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

SUCCESS is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.

Not one of all the purple host
Who took the flag to-day
Can tell the definition,
So clear, of victory,

As he, defeated, dying,
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Break, agonized and clear.
The poetess is of the opinion that no doubt victory is very much important for the person who won the title of the battle and holding a flag of victory in his hand, but if somebody wants to understand the true explanation and importance of victory then he should concern the solder who lays down his life to achieve the title of victorious but inspite of all his efforts remains fail to achieve the title. In other words “victory” is much important for the dying solder as compare to the victorious solder.
We witness the examples of same theme in our daily life that the charms & Pleasures and our targets are much attractive, charming, important and appealing for us, until they are unachieved but as soon as we achieved our target, it’s importance started to decrease as compare to it’s previous status when it was unachieved.
Same way, its our part of nature that in one stage of our life (mostly between 15 to 21 years) we automatically start liking someone from opposite gender, in short words, we fall in love during our early youth and then always keep on thinking that how to disclose our feelings to over beloved, think different ways to express our feelings for her/him but again and again hesitate to express our feelings. Again the brave people never hesitate to express their feelings. They express themselves to their beloved, its other matter that they got positive or response from other side but they at least disclose and more than 70 % they succeed to win their love but there is different matter with cowards they hesitate, hesitate and keep on hesitating to express their feelings and at least they lost the opportunity and their beloved got engaged with someone other.
So, what you think? Are cowards lost in the field of love??? Again I will return to the Emily Dickinson’s poem and consider that the title of victory is coward’s beloved, the solider of the victorious army is the person whom his beloved got engaged/ married and finally coward is that dying solider of the poem who never achieved the title of victory. Though, he remains fail to express his feelings throughout his life and that’s why his love remains evergreen and fresh till his death and in this way that coward is winner over that brave person who find the love feelings in his mind and heart, disclose the feelings, and won his beloved.
Same theme is revealed in the famous Bollywood movie “DEVDAS”, as in that movie Devdas (King Khan Shahrukh Khan) remains fail to win the Paroo but she remains always in his mind, he always keeps her childish gifts along with him, and remember her with his every breath and at last lost his life. But still he is winner because paroo was with him, though not physically but her memories and her love always there, mixed in his blood.
