Happy New Year…Happy New You!

By: Shazia Yousuf  A new sunrise, a new dawn, a new beginning, a fresh start, a new year… The Sun rises every day, and it sets with the hope of shining on a better world, better people when it rises again the next morning. Sets again but rises…yet again, each day… every single day, with [...]

Consumed by the self

By: Shazia Yousuf When the hearts turn that of stone, frozen, solid, nothing seems to be able to penetrate into it or even out of it. What remains inside sinks deep within, trapped, concealed, secluded, excommunicate – “Consumed by the self”! This is the ailment that appalls the heart and devours th

Happy Fulfilling Birthday!

By: Shazia Yousuf  This day marks the Birthday of two most beautiful people who created us, and made us who we are today.  A very strange coincidence, they were born on the same date, 15th October! (that’s what has been told to us) but with a difference of a decade. This is not to wish [...]

Predestination versus Freewill

By: Shazia Yousuf Mankind, a marvelous creation of God gifted with wisdom and knowledge, is a free soul, capable of doubt and disobedience.

Restless Soul

By: Shazia Yousuf   Standing alone, feet bathing in cool waves from the huge ocean that is stretched right in front of me. My gaze fixed at the sea, as if in a trance, thoughts as deep as the ocean. Staring at the waves making ripples, the ocean roaring so loud, yet it brings peace [...]

Remembering Ammie and Abbu

By: Shazia Yousuf Muslima, my mother, a symbol of sacrifice since her childhood but never for once complained. She was the source of strength when others felt weak. She always stood up for others when they needed her. A saint, so pious and pure, she never hurt anyone not even with a single word she

Footsteps on the sands of time

By: Shazia Yousuf I happened to browse through a photo album of a relative recently posted on face book and got to see a few faces after a very long time. It was quite pleasant to be able to see them after a long time. Flash backs took me down the memory lane. I remembered [...]

Only when the souls depart….maybe that too for only a short while….

By: Shazia Yousuf Day begins, day ends. Time is running fast; so much to do but such little time. There’s hardly time for anything. We are all the time busy in a race against time. It seems as if life would come to a halt if we stop doing all those things that we are [...]

Love

By: Shazia Yousuf Love is, when a father gets angry at his daughter for forgetting to tell him that she’ll be late from work. He is not angry because she did not inform him, but because he is concerned for her out of love. Love is, when a wife is upset with the husband when [...]

Speak your heart out

By: Shazia Yousuf There he was, standing beside the grave, as he would every Thursday. Another Thursday, one more rose on the grave and yet another hour or two of silent memories and flashbacks.
