Inspiration by Arabian Oud {R}

Whenever I get disappointed and feel broken in life, I think about how life could be if I was born again, as an innocent soul, away from demons and evils in this world. Whenver I fall weak in my knees, I seek the strength frm the Almighty Allah. I have felt so lonely in the past few months, ofcourse I hide it in a lot of ways. One of my classic ways of hiding is laughing and joking with everyone and making it seem everything is perfecto with me. During my trip to Geneva in May, I laughed soo much, I guess I never laughed so much, but then soon as I made my way back to London, I had tears instore waiting for me. I lost someone, and soon my joy ride turned into a tragic one, that's fate, I must admit. But it seems weird, coz I have always had more of my share in sorrow and pain than joy. Saying that doesn't mean I am going to stop being a joker, I will always be a joker for people around me, I guess that ain't gonna change ,my grief and sorrow is mine, I don't want to burden people with it, coz no-one understands me. And when your so misunderstood, it's best to be silent.

The photograph you see above is of Ali Abbas, the boy in the grey shirt. He is the well known Iraqi young boy, who took world media by storm after the Second Gulf War in Iraq. He lost his limbs and soon became a face of courage and peace during the war. He lost a lot of his family members. Next to him is his best friend Ahmed Hamza, who lost his legs, his father Uncle Mohammed is standing behind them both. Ali is a true face of inspiration, despite losing his arms, he started painting and had his own exhibition earlier this year in London. I took this photograph during his interview.

'Everytime, I feel betrayed by life, I will sit in dark corners and wander away from this noisy place, where people are so lost in materialistic gains, don't value human relationships, think it's easy to break someone's heart and sometimes even label such emotions as 'useless'. They think it's ok to run away and never let their beloved know why they ran away in the first place. I lost my faith in love and relationshps.. I am a lonely soul, they took me for granted, coz I was always there for them, not knowing how much pain I endured , I kept hiding pain behind a strong smile...

Ali you are a true inspiration to my life and to many others.. May Allah Bless you brother. Ameen...

FOREVER LOVE- DOES IT EXIST?

I often ask myself,does true love exist? out of curiosity, this question hoovers around my mind, coz I have seen the majority cry over in love rather than be happy in love. When your alone, you wish you had someone and when you have that someone, your either happy or miserable, soon the short lived happiness turns ugly and all that feeling of love and compassion is fake. I am a non believer in love, but I ask you all, do you believe in love? do you even think something such as 'true love' exists? I would admit, I have come across few very few people who have fought for their love and stood firm and remained sincere and loyal through out.. but then, that's so rare to find, like they say 'true love is soo rare to find',like good things and people are rare to find. Once we lose them, it's then we realise their value, we never value something or someone till we have them, coz we think, we don't have to worry about anything and will never lose them. This is a wro...

CAMPAIGN AGAINST FORCED MARRIAGES & HONOR KILLINGS IN THE UK - RUN BY ARABIAN OUD {R} -PLEASE JOIN

Over the past few years, especially recently, there have been a lot of honor killings in the UK, most of them are linked to forced marriages, and not surprisingly, these honor killings have been committed by Muslim people. Recently, a Pakistani girl was brutally murdered by her father, brother and cousin brother, meanwhile her mother and small neices were watching the murder. the neices as small as 2 and 4 yrs old were compelled to stand and watch, so if they tried to do something in future, this would be their end. There have been numerous cases, call it illiteracy or plain 'Jahiliya' ignorance, which results in killing their flesh and blood. Me and my friends have decided to set up a campaign against honor killing and forced marriages, and convince the British government that there is a need to impose a strict law which condemns such barbaric activities. and there shall be severe punishment. In previous editions it was mentioned, the government wouldnt impose a law, becoz it ...

The most hardest thing by Arabian Oud {R}

I couldn't help writing a blog for so many days, life has been so busy and more hectic than ever. But thank God for that. I am happy doing what I am and a lot of things in life seem stable. But for the past few days or weeks I have been in an inner turmoil.The most hardest thing at times in ones life is when they can not pour out their inner emotions to people around them, especially those they love and a re close. Sadly these relationships wire you so much that you fear losing them and you want to just display a very normal and very composed pattern. When all ears turn deaf or maybe your words stop churning and you end up in a corner which is confined for yourself. Normality, it seems flips and it turns you into an insane human being. You lose your mind and every therapeutic effort seems a waste. You need to wake up and ask yourself where your going wrong. Sometimes the people you come across are simply not worth your time. Do not rush into emotions, if you get an equal vibe tha...
