Story of a brave 10 year old Yemeni Girl.

"My head was spinning. I had never ever seen so many people at one place. It was the front side of a court where many people were coming from different directions. Many of them were wearing the western dress; others were wearing the traditional Yemeni dress. People were crying, they were shouting and talking in loud voices but no one was noticing me. I was a just a kid. Around 10 years old. She took a deep breath and started again. People told me that judges are all good people and are responsible for providing justice. I was also in search of one, I had been wandering around for 3 hours and really tired, I was also wearing a black scarf which was increasing the summer heat. I was also having severe headache and at the same time was nervous. Suddenly a man dressed in white came to me; I thought he might be a judge or lawyer. "

"Excuse me Sir. I want to see a judge. "

Taliban are Changing.

Five years ago Rahim Daad was forced to leave his native town and migrate to Kabul. He has to leave with a heavy heart, he had spent all his life in his native town and leaving was not that easy. He was the resident of Nawar, which is one of the regions of the Ghazni province.

Actually the problem was that Talibans of that province had shut down the modern schools forcefully saying that it is against the religion and that girls should stay home and boys should study only at religious schools, but Rahim Daad wanted his children to study the religious and well as the modern ways. For the better future of children he had to adopt Kabul as new home.

But now, Rahim Daad is back to his home, Nawar. It has been a few months and the reason he came back was schools of the city were opened again, and that too with the permission of Taliban. He was very happy to hear this and came back. Rahim Daad tells ..

Mysterious Yonaguni Island !

Yonaguni Island is one of the few Islands which tell us about the early Japanese Civilization. These are situated 68 km away from the Eastern Taiwan coast.

This Island is 10 km long and 4 km wide. Its atmosphere is clean and gives a refreshing feeling and thats why people from all over Japan visit this place often.

Overconfidence cost Pakistan.

" Before you attempt to beat the odds, be sure you could survive the odds beating you. " Pakistan were clearly overconfident when the ODI series between England and Pakistan started but forgot that overconfidence precedes carelessness. Perhaps they underestimated the English side as did everyone else, they lead the four match series 2-0. Who would have thought things will turn around within a week.


For Pakistan the problem lies with the team selection and poor planing. England didn't bring drastic changes to their team for the ODI's. Just including the specialists Ravi Bopara and C. Kieswetter while one all rounder  Samit Patel. 

And when Shahid Afridi swung and missed at James Anderson, Pakistan's chase was over (Cricinfo 2nd ODI)

A Valentines Day Letter.

Please Note: This is not me wishing anyone a Valentines Day, In fact it is the way I would Imagine a sincere boy should wish a girl. Just random thoughts.

Dear Girl,

Never had I Imagined my life will change so much, Never had I thought I'll love you so much. You have changed my life, you have changed the way I see life. I LOVE YOU more than anything and everything, I love you without any conditions and relations.

How more ironic could this life get?

Crying while smiling,

Dying while living,

Scared while boldly claiming,

Lying while telling the truth,

Blessed? yes , if that means cursed

Loved? Yes , if that means hatred

Noticed? Yes , if that means ignored

Cared for? Yes , if that means ignorance

Life changes, Life goes on !

There come such people in you life who change you forever. change you for good mostly! You try your best to resist, you try your best to keep a distance, you try your best to ignore the facts but then there is a time when you just can't.

Its a 360 degree change, Isn't it!

Life turns upside down, you can't stay away even for one day, all you want to do is to talk and talk with the person who has brought sudden, pleasant change in your life. The sweetness of their voice makes your day, All you do and think is them. All you wish for is that angel, all you want is their love, All you dream is staying with them forever.

Then two possibilities appear...

1) Your dreams turn true, become reality, and life goes on with a new spark.

2) Reality sets in, you wake up from your dream and life  still goes on, the usual way.

Which option does your life has?!
