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
