Angle of Vision does count!

Please watch this video first :

TV England Presenter cries when she listens to Islamic Azan  (Adhaan - Call for Prayers)



Yesterday I shared this video from a friend's wall to mine (http://www.facebook.com/saalik.siddikki) on Facebook with the following caption:

" No words - No comment ! Just feelings that touch the chords of spirituality! "

Another Facebook friend immediately wrote the following comment :

" Only because of a white skin women?
Just imagine a black women, then you wont feel that "spiritual ".

I replied :

" My dear, Innamal Aamaal-u-Binniyyaat (Acts are based on intentions – a saying by the Prophet of Islam) - I said spiritual about Azaan, not about the woman. There is nothing spiritual in her. Spirituality has no relation with any complexion. You expressed your feelings, I really don't mind. But it shows how two people, with different states of mind, see the same things and react accordingly.

Anyway, thanks that you shared your emotions bluntly. I respect that.”

I do not want to make any comment about why he misjudged my feelings and emotion. However, it is another good example of how a person looks at a glass half filled with water as half filled and the other as half empty.

The angle of vision does count!

Bill Gates Questioned

The power of words is an undeniable reality.  Negative or positive, emotional or taunting, encouraging or humiliating, simple or difficult - they do impact our states of mind.


A friend was experiencing disheartening situation due to some mishaps and not finding any way out of hyper tension.  Family and friends tried but failed to cheer him up.  He got himself confined first to his office room and then to his bedroom for two three days.  So, they left him alone to cope with the situation himself.


I called him on mobile phone and sent him a couple of SMSes without getting any reply and realized that he needed solitude.


Then, I got an SMS from an acquaintance and felt that it may play the trick on my friend.  I forwarded the SMS to him and to my surprise, his quick reply struck my mobile like a streak of lightning.  


He wrote: "Yaar (friend), thanx for sending me this SMS.  It has really done some magic on me.  I couldn't hold back my instant laughter and tell you what I'm now out of the dark cave of depressive mood.  I wanna see you tonight."  We had not met for the last more than a month.


Here is the SMS that may refreshen your mood too:


Quote -  A Patthaan wrote a letter to Bill Gates -  "Sir, I have some questions for you : 


1)  The letters in keyboard are not in order.  When will you release the correct version?  


2) There is a start button but no stop button.  Will you please do something about it?  


3)  We learnt MS Word.  When will you give us MS Sentence?  


4)  And finally sir, a very personal question.  Your name is Gates but you sell Windows.  Why? - Unquote

Corrupt Rulers - Eunuchs - Cowards

This is one of the top news headlines today :

North Korean leader Kim Jong-il and his son are in China to visit the school of senior Kim's father, Kim Il-sung, a source with knowledge of the secretive trip told Reuters on Saturday.

Why is the trip kept so secret?  I have totally failed to under the mindset of these leaders.  Leaders?  No, no.  They are true hypocrites, eunuchs and cowards in the real sense of the words.

They are, in fact, psychopaths who slaughter the values of their societies.  They are fanatics and power-maniacs for creating and protecting dictatorial empires using the might of the State to keep their own people confined to fear and terror.

Their tallest claim is that they represent their people.  That is sheer nonsense.

No citizen of their States is allowed to travel abroad with his own freedom of will and desire and if they intend to visit a country, their movements are kept secret, shrouded in disgusting mystery.

And still they are part of today’s civilized world and do escape any punishment for their any wrongdoings, deception, corruption, misuse of authority and public money.

By the way, they are not alone in their elite class.  Leaders of some third world countries like Pakistan also have no exception.  

The first and top most difference between these two species is that the Western world lead by the arrogant and hegemonic sole super power America fully support the latter one for their own vested interests and is always in clash with the first one.

The second difference is that our leaders, sorry - let me correct, our rulers are provided maximum shelter under the umbrella of so called democracy.  Otherwise they are all the same, enjoying all the luxuries, even better, than the resident of the White House by all manners and means available to be exploited.
