Our-lady-of-Alice-Bhatti-scene-on....yuppie!

Remember this .Remember the sarcasm,the wit,the-moment-you-realised:'shit!have we been politically  fooled?',or remember that time your mom  throwing away those 'looks' at you considering the fact that you  laughed,giggled,guffawed to yourself..No shit!never happened to you.hmm,means you didn't experience this
Annnnnnnnnnnd the chain smoker is back again!


No its no General,intelligence,political shit this time ,it all about this Pakistani catholic middle class girl who is daughter of a gutter clog-buster (yes,jamaadar:p),her life,her love,the way she is being looked in our 'educated' society ,her thinking.It is a fiction yet again.Oh and here is the extract which made me crave for it :


Less than three minutes infront of the interview panel and Alice Bhatti knows in her heart that she is not likely to get the job.All the preparations-her starched white uniform ,the new file,breathing exercises,even the banana  she ate on the bus stop to stop her stomach from rumbling-all seemed like wasted investment ,halal money down the haram drain as her father joseph bhatti had put it "these Muslas will make you clean their shit and then complain that you stink'-he had said.

The first thing I perceived of Alice (after reading the tittle) was some gori-chitti ma'am but after reading the whole story line ,I think its more of a struggler in our society.A society where people are not judged by their abilities but their back ground ,their sense of dressing (the more made-over the better).Anyways ,I just cant wait for it,already walked-in to many bookshops searching for it but..no use.

Shia + Sunni = A.Muslim (please!)

As I got up in the morning today ,was greeted by my friend living next door.While talking to her,she randomly asked me  to join the for the jummah prayer ....

For some reasons I couldn't give her any answer,maybe because I am a Shi'ite and typically thought of people discussing my different way of saying prayers.My reluctance was creating an air of  suspicion between us..suspicion in our friendship which I didn't want so I said yes.




Having said the prayers I came to the conclusion that this fear in my mind of being ridiculed was not of my own,it had been forced in my mind by those creatures.Creatures who despite reciting the Quranic verses in one-quarter of a second fail to understand and comprehend the meaning of the content i.e Quran .

I do not intend to be judgemental here but my point is that why do we let them poison our mind ; they might have knowledge but we ought to think ourselves about what they say and then accept their sermons.

Why can't your mosques be my mosques and why can't my processions be your processions .And why do we represent each others as individuals  of different sects,why not a single religion.A BIG QUESTION MARK.The only difference is of  opinions right?

Then why don't we stand under one umbrella:the umbrella of Prophet Muahammad (S.A.W) who was sent as rehmat-ul-allamin (mercy to the universe) Mind you not the world ,not the galaxy -The entire universe .Then why can't we use him as a shade.Shade from the blistering heat of division,mistrust and what not!

They say umeed pe dunya qaim hai .Nothing can we do except expecting.Expecting that one day the people will get out of the misconception that Shiites and Sunni are not from two different religions (as they pretend to be).So what if they differ in opinion ,these two rivers fall in the same ocean of Islam i.e peace.Peace.
