Yesterday evening as I was preparing to write the blog suddenly I heard some movement downstairs, within minutes I was told that some thieves have entered our neighbour’s home. There were security alarms, guards and on-time police. It appeared like a movie scene, police were on the roof with flashlights and announcements to surrender. Thankfully, thankfully nothing happened and thieves ran off without causing any trouble most probably due to the high-tech alarm systems. What has happened to Karachi, anyone you meet these days have their own robbery or mobile snatching tale. You buy a new expensive phone and you are afraid to take it outside your house. Not long ago car theft or mobile snatching was unheard of in Karachi. Ladies would wear their gold ornaments without any fear and now even the brides wear artificial jewelry on their wedding day. So much has changed today, however, if that time didn’t last then I have faith that this time shall also pass. Nothing...

There were quite a few things that I wanted to talk about but as I sit here trying to write something, I feel lack of energy. Energy drain is due to my indisposition, I hope to get better soon and express at length what I needed to focus on. Something is working on the back of my mind and I badly need to confirm it. Its like knowing that you have done well in exams but until you see the result with your own eyes you are not satisfied. I too have given my best shot and now just waiting to see its magnificent outcome.

Ok enough of my blabbering, I just had my acupressure session and I am feeling relaxed which is bordering to sleepiness so I don’...

Today I write in early, way early than my usual timing but its better to express yourself when you feel like, rather you wait for the right moment. Finally after a lot of negotiations with myself I came to a resolution, and at last I decided that I cannot make everything right. That sometimes things need to get out of order and fall apart so a new and beautiful order can be made. For quite some time I have been struggling with myself and trying to do what is right. However, I didn’t realize that what I believed to be right could be extremely wrong for many people including myself. We humans make our decisions based on the evidence which we perceive through our five senses. Nevertheless, there are moments when our sixth sense intervene and compels us to go beyond our five senses and take a leap of faith; to only focus on the purity of my intentions and peace for everybody. That is exactly what I am doing, I am stepping into the unknown with my faith intact. Somebody I...
