Practice makes perfect.....
But nobody's perfect.....
So why practice?
Money is not everything.
There's MasterCard & Visa.
One should love animals.
They are so tasty.
Behind every successful man, there is a woman
And behind every unsuccessful man, there are two.
Every man should marry.
After all, happiness is not the only thing in life.
The wise never marry...
And when they marry they become otherwise.
Success is a relative term.
It brings so many relatives.
Never put off the work till tomorrow what you can put off today.
Love is photogenic - It needs darkness to develop
Children in backseats cause accidents - Accidents in backseats cause children
"Your future depends on your dreams" - So go to sleep
There should be a better way to start a day - Than waking up every morning
"Hard work never killed anybody" - But why take the risk !
"Work fascinates me" - I can look at it for hours!
God made relatives; - Thank God we can choose our friends.
When two's company, - three's the result!
The more you learn, the more you know,
The more you know, the more you forget
The more you forget, the less you know - So... Why learn.
A bus station is where a bus stops.
A train station is where train stops.
On my desk, I have a work station.... what more can I say.

Wall Street Explained
This is the simple version.........
If you have difficulty understanding the current world financial
situation, the following should help...
Once upon a time in a village somewhere, a man announced to the
villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10.
The villagers seeing there were many monkeys around, went out to the
forest and started catching them.
The man bought thousands at $10, but, as the supply started to diminish,
the villagers stopped their efforts.
The man further announced that he would now buy at $20. This renewed the
efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.
Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to
their farms. The offer rate increased to $25 and the supply of monkeys
became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone
catch it!
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50! However, since
he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now act
as buyer, on his behalf.
In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers: 'Look at
all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will
sell them to you at $35 and when he returns from the city, you can sell
them back to him for $50.'
The villagers squeezed together their savings and bought all the
monkeys.
Then they never saw the man or his assistant again, only monkeys
everywhere! Welcome to WALL STREET!

No comment
I am a bit frustrated about things, which does not effecting me personally, but religiously. I am trying not to post, as people from other religions as well as countries may get offended but I have just that they are the only direct example.
I just realized that some and not all Muslims getting married to non-Abrahamic religions, its didn't start now or the current generation, but its been there for generations before I was even born. I realized it may be either lack of faith in God i.e. Iman.
The Iman has 6 articles:
1. Belief in God (Allah), the one and only one worthy of all worship (tawhid).
2. Belief in the Angels (mala'ika).
3. Belief in the Books (kutub) sent by God (including the Qur'an).
4. Belief in all the Prophets (nabi) and Messengers (rusul) sent by God.
5. Belief in the Day of Judgment (qiyama) and in the Resurrection (life after death).
6. Belief in Destiny (Fate) (qadar) (Shia divine justice).
The Qur'an stated about marriage, but it seems some of the Muslims either they lack of guidance or they don't have the faith.
I personally know a woman who follows an unabrahamic religion, who got married to Muslim man in Islamic country, the marriage ceremony was held privately and in both religions with the blessing of both family, I was shocked when I found out.
People may say, it's their life, but as far as I know, they are living in sin. Once an Arab and Muslim woman told me she would agree to marry man, who follows a non-abrahamic religion and she may practice his religion as long as she doesn't belive in it, it's just acting.
That't all for now, let me move to another topic , RT @amjad248: http://tinyurl.com/d5fbal - Omani creates robots out of junk.

Is My Times UP?
A 54 year old woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital. While on the operating table she had a near death experience.
Seeing God she asked 'Is my time up?'
God said, 'No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live.'
Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a face-lift, liposuction, breast implants and a tummy tuck. She even had someone come in and change her hair colour and brighten her teeth! Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it.
After her last operation, she was released from the hospital. While crossing the street on her way home, she was killed by an ambulance.
Arriving in front of God, she demanded, 'I thought you said I had another 43 years? Why didn't you pull me from out of the path of the ambulance?'
God replied: 'I didn't recognize you.'

I haven't been writing allot lately, as most of my posts have been pre-schadulled for the past week and may continue until 1st week of May.
I am kind off busy as well as recovering from cold & back ache, resulted of long hours of sitting infront of laptop screen work& home. Been advised to be off the laptop for 2 weeks at home, but I'm back to work & trying my best not to brawse via my mobile.

That's all for now, enjoy my posts from my inbox. It's the Alasr prayer time now, how lovely to hear the muathin & the sound of the waves, its so relaxing but the weather is too hot, I am out of my mind to sit outside.

What to do when you are trapped in a lift?
I received this forwarding mail from my cousin, to sure if it is true or not, but thought to share it with you.
What to do when you are trapped in a lift?
We never know when and where accidents will happen to us OR people around us. Read on and hope this piece of information may help any of us when things do happen to ourselves, our friends and our loved ones.
One day, while in a lift, it suddenly broke down and it was falling from level 13 at a fast speed. Fortunately, I remembered watching a TV program that taught you must quickly press all the buttons for all the levels. Finally, the lift stopped at the 5th level. When you are facing life and death situations, whatever decisions or actions you make decides your survival. If you are caught in a lift breakdown, first thought in mind may be 'waiting to die'...
But after reading below, things will definitely be different the next time you are caught in a lift.
First – Quickly press all the different levels of buttons in the lift.
Second – Hold on tight to the handle (if there is any).
Third – Lean your back and head against the wall forming a straight line.
Fourth – Bend your knees. Reason – When the lift falls, you will not know when it will hit the ground, and it may result in whole body bone fracture.
Point 1 – When the emergency electricity supply is being activated, it will stop the lift from falling further.
Point 2 – It is to support your position and prevent you from falling or getting hurt when you lost your balance.
Point 3 – Leaning against the wall is to use it as a support for your back/spine as protection.
Point 4 – Ligament is a flexible, connective tissue. It can be attached to the bone part of the activities, but limit the scope of their activities in order to avoid injury. Thus, the impact of fractured bones will be minimised from the severe pressure during fall.
For everyone, do send out this piece of information to all you care.

Second – Hold on tight to the handle (if there is any).
Third – Lean your back and head against the wall forming a straight line.
Fourth – Bend your knees. Reason – When the lift falls, you will not know when it will hit the ground, and it may result in whole body bone fracture.
Point 1 – When the emergency electricity supply is being activated, it will stop the lift from falling further.
Point 2 – It is to support your position and prevent you from falling or getting hurt when you lost your balance.
Point 3 – Leaning against the wall is to use it as a support for your back/spine as protection.
Point 4 – Ligament is a flexible, connective tissue. It can be attached to the bone part of the activities, but limit the scope of their activities in order to avoid injury. Thus, the impact of fractured bones will be minimised from the severe pressure during fall.
For everyone, do send out this piece of information to all you care.

Re-Twitter @kishorcariappa: Oman sets rules for pet walking. http://tinyurl.com/dhr3gp, which I found it odd and illogical for walking pats between 10AM and 3PM in such hot climate. Is it a way or a sign for discourage people especially expatriates to own dogs, People are talking about it too in Omanforum, a local forum under the 'Dog Walking in Oman'.

A Letter To My Bank
Another Hilarius email from Sunil, enjoy it.
Dear Sir:
In view of what seems to be happening internationally with
banks at the moment, I was wondering if you could advise me.
If one of my checks is returned marked -
"Insufficient Funds,"
- is this referring to me or to you?
Regards,
Your confused client

Lateral thinking.Thank you in advance for your time, to read the 12 logical thoughts.
- If time doesn't wait for you, don't worry! Just remove the damn battery from the clock and Enjoy life!
- Expecting the world to treat u fairly because u r a good person is like expecting the lion not to attack u because u r a vegetarian. Think about it.
- Beauty isn't measured by outer appearance and what clothes we wear, but what we are inside. So, try going out naked tomorrow and see the admiration!
- Don't walk as if you rule the world, walk as if you don't care who rules the world! Now that's Attitude…!!!
- Every lady hopes that her daughter will marry a better man than she did and is convinced that her son will never find a wife as good as his father did!!!
- He was a good man. He never smoked, drank & had no affairs. When he died, the insurance company refused the claim. They said, he who never lived, cannot die!
- A man threw his wife in a pond of Crocodiles? He's now being harassed by the Animal Rights Activists for being cruel to the Crocodiles!
- So many options for suicide: Poison, sleeping pills, hanging, jumping from a building, lying on train tracks, but we chose Marriage, slow & sure!
- Only 20 percent girls have brains, the rest have boyfriends!
- All desirable things in life are either illegal, banned, expensive or married to someone else!
- Laziness is our biggest enemy- Jawaharlal Nehru. We should learn to love our enemies- Mahatma Gandhi So, now you do the math
- 10% of road accidents are due to drunken driving. Which makes it a logical statement that 90% of accidents are due to driving without drinking!

Clean up day
Monday, was a day for me to clear up my inbox (email) from all the junk mails & forwarding from friends and co-workers.
I managed to delete nearly 1000 mails, which weren't relevant to work and some of them I sent it to my personal email in order to post it at my beloved journal to share it with you.
At some point I wanted to keep some of the religious mails but I felt its been there for over a year and I won't read it.
I attended an advanced related course from Tuesday to Thursday, which was good for me, had brainstorm of some ideas related to work.
Friday, as a day I went to have lunch at my Auntie's place and had a good time with my cousins, I joined them later in the evening for coffee at the The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf in Al Bahja mall, the first outlet in Oman.
Most of the people used to go to Al Bahja mall because of the movie cinema and kids play section, but since last year when Costa Coffee opened it's outlet, more people started going. Now many people are expected to go, they need more proper restaurants, i mean beside fast food franchises.
After coming back from the mall, the movie 'Freedom Writers' on DVD. It's a good movie, which inspired me too, they fought their battle and changed their lives by writing and how a teacher helped them to get it over with it and supporting them to reach their dreams.
Their dreams became reality via 'The Freedom Writers Diary: How a Teacher and 150 Teens Used Writing to Change Themselves and the World Around Them' , and I will go and look for the book if it's available in the local bookstore or in the neighborhood country or I'll order it online.
The movie has inspired me to read and write. I'm trying to write more positive way.
Few months ago, I came across wonderful online journal known as Hegab Rehab, which the author mostly post about the styles of Hegabs /Hejabs and accessories for Muslims women wear it and known part of Muslim woman dress code. Another journal 'Chasing Jannah', which is written by a Muslim woman.
The Omani community has been promised for the past few months that one of the most popular fast food franchise, known as Burger King will be back to operate in Oman. Up to now, the reserved space is empty and no signs of it's going to exists. Read more about it here were trying to figure out why it was closed at the first place.
The 'dark side of Dubai' brought you by UAE community blog.

Enlightening Story On Recession
Thanks to my dear friend Sunil for sharing this post with me and others too. I hope you will also learn from it and share it with people you care about.
A man once upon a time was selling Hotdogs by the roadside.
He was illiterate, so he never read newspapers.
He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio.
His eyes were weak, so he never watched television.
But enthusiastically, he sold lots of hotdogs.
He was smart enough to offer some attractive schemes to increase his sales.
His sales and profit went up.
He ordered more a more raw material and buns and use to sale more.
He recruited few more supporting staff to serve more customers.
He started offering home deliveries.
Eventually he got himself a bigger and better stove.
As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from College, joined his father.
Then something strange happened.
The son asked, "Dad, aren't you aware of the great recession that is coming our way?"
The father replied, "No, but tell me about it."
The son said, "The international situation is terrible. The domestic situation is even worse. We should be prepared for the coming bad times."
The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers, listened to the radio and watched TV.
He ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly.
So the next day onwards, the father cut down the his raw material order and buns, took down the colorful signboard, removed all the special schemes he was offering to the customers and was no longer as enthusiastic.
He reduced his staff strength by giving layoffs.
Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his hotdog stand.
And his sales started coming down rapidly, same is the profit.
The father said to his son, "Son, you were right". "We are in the middle of a recession and crisis. I am glad you warned me ahead of time."
Moral of The Story:
Its all in your MIND! And we actually FUEL this recession much more than we think”.
So it is time for us to open eyes and look around. Recession is there in mind for many but not in pockets really.

APRIL FOOL
Every year by beginning or end of the month of March, I receive same email from several people about the real meaning of April Fool, which has been forwarded to many Muslims and it became one of the most popular chain mails.
I stress I never found a supporting source, which reflect the below article.
Thanks for your time, please feel free to comment.
I stress I never found a supporting source, which reflect the below article.
Plz Read this all b4 April 1st it’s not fool...)
Most of us celebrate April fool day every year and fool each other. But how many of us know the bitter facts hidden behind it. It was around a thousand years ago that Spain was ruled by Muslims. And the Muslim power in Spain was so strong that it couldn't be destroyed. The Christians of the west wished to wipe out Islam from all parts of the world and they did succeed to quite an extent. But when they tried to eliminate Islam in Spain and conquer it, they failed. They tried several times but never succeeded.
The unbelievers then sent their spy in Spain to study the Muslims there and find out what was the power they possessed and they found that their power was TAQWA. The Muslims of Spain were not just Muslims but they were practicing Muslims. They not only read the Quran but also acted upon it.
When the Christians found the power of the Muslims they started thinking of strategies to break this power. So they started sending alcohol and cigarettes to Spain free of cost. This technique of the west worked out and it started weakening the faith of the Muslims in particular the young generation of Spain.
The result was that the Catholics of the west wiped out Islam and conquered the entire Spain bringing an end to the EIGHT HUNDRED LONG YEARS' RULE OF THE MUSLIMS in Spain . The last fort of the Muslims to fall was Grenada (Gharnatah), which was on the 1st of April. From that year onwards, every year they celebrate April fools day on the 1st of April, celebrating the day, they made a fool of the Muslims.
They did not make a fool of the Muslim army at Gharnatah only, but of the whole Muslim Ummah!
We, the Muslims, were fooled by the unbelievers. They have a reason to celebrate April fool day, to keep up the spirit.
Dear brothers and sisters, when we join in this Celebration, we do so out of ignorance. If we had known about it, we would never have celebrated our own downfall. So now, that we are aware of it, and now let us promise that we shall never celebrate this day. We should learn our lesson from
The people of SPAIN and shall try to become practising muslims never to let anybody weaken our faith.
Please forward this message to as many people you know. The more people you forward it to the greater will be the reward from your Lord in this world and the hereafter. Please try to do it before the 1st of April, to create awareness that WE ARE NOT FOOLS ANYMORE!
Thanks for your time, please feel free to comment.
