I’m Sorry

I can remember the sunrises which I observed for the sake of sunrise. I can also remember those moments while I traveled hundreds of miles to see a sunset. Sun sets and sun rises, man get birth and man dies. Nothing stops for anything. Neither my life, nor do my feelings.

It has been years after years, excitements, dreams and aspirations are just the words of my archives. I’ve kept them carefully in a locker. Sometimes I open it and see them up. I can see nothing perturbed their flows, they were there, they are. But it is the time which has flown miles away….

The Quest For Meaning

Many Many times I had asked some questions to me. Which came from some inner deep thoughts, some deepest feelings of unsolvable problems and quest. I was in deep feelings of nothingness in me. It happened quite often in my world of feelings. But truly very little options I got where I had some opportunities to think about those things.

Today, I have watched a very short video clip titled “The Quest For Meaning”. I am amazed that I should say it is one of the most amazing 10 minutes video where I got the thoughts of my quests in life. I know the quest is an urge inside which comes from some more deep sources.

I realize “Ignorance comes our first jail”. To be free, I need to free myself from my EGO. Amazing thinking!! Because, I realize the affects comes from the ego, this is very problematic.

“You don’t know what is freedom,
If you don’t know what discipline is.” ― Tariq Ramadan

Do You Remember

“Our life is a gift. A gift from Allah”. I heard the sentence from my brothers and sisters a lot in my life. But the realization comes on its own way in these days. I really feel the shiny and finest parts of life and at the same time the cruel and harsh essence of life. But above all, this is a life, once in a lifetime, once for a soul!

I am writing on this blog after more than 3 months. Just before last post in September, I never missed to post a blog at least once in a month during my 2 years of blogging. It clearly shows how changes I had to bring in my lifestyle, in my thoughts of life. I’m not going to explain those tough days because it will just bring the bad feelings in my heart again. I just wanna share that those days are over by the grace of Allah. Life is such, tough days, sweet days. Mixed with many many emotions and feelings. But out of them all, the essence of life is to remember the Almighty out of all bad and good moments as we have to go back to Him after our death, which is an inevitable part of a human life!

Scribbles While September Almost Ends

This is the last day of the September. I could remember last year I wrote a post titled ‘Wake me up when september ends’ following a song of Greenday! September somwhow plays an important role in my thoughts — a role of shaking my whole existence.

I know this is not an important post. I am just writing on, I am here to just put my thoughts in words. I know days are going on and on. I can’t make the best use of anything. I know there are some purposes in life. Life consists few days and they keep on reducing. And I keep on being shocked ! Last day I found a nice quotation!

“Don’t depend too much on anyone in this world, because even your own shadow leaves you when you are in darkness!”
– [Ibn Taymiyyah]

Living In Nightmares Everyday

I am just in the office. This is not a high time to write a blog. But I am so deeply disturbed, pained and just mad for my life in a city that I am bound to sit down to pen few words; taking few times from my boss to cool me down. I am so immensely disgraced by my city life in Dhaka. I can’t believe we are still living on this city which is hectic and pathetic too!

Dhaka, is our city, the capital city of Bangladesh. More than 20 Million people live in this area of 360 square kilometers. Officially [according to Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics report] it is said that 7 Million people are living in this city, But I am sure, it is never less than 20 Million. Everyday the number is increasing. Dhaka is the example of the mono-centric urbanization (dunno whether this term really exist, I’m writing as I feel). Everything has been set up in this city. Loads of population, no planning, no initiative. This cannot work. This simply can’t go on this way!

Two Years Have Gone By

Another year is gone! I can still remember, it was the month of September when I started my blog “Lights and Shadows”. There was a little philosophical point of view in naming such. I haven’t stated that in my blog, but I feel it. Our feelings, emotions are the key to any work. If it’s something creative or positive work, I feel it has come from the Light! If it’s bad, if it’s frivolous attitude to harm someone, if it’s expression of anger — this is like Shadow to me. I didn’t feel it as Dark. Because I feel every human beings is good. Every child I see seems angel to me, they are innocent! But later, they are influenced bad and evil things and keep them inside. I feel we can bring the innocence back again if we try for ourselves, if we try for our families, societies…

Thinking Different and Being Thankful

I am going to share a wonderful story. This morning, I was checking my mail inbox and found this nice story in a mail. The reason behind my sharing is to teach myself a lesson. I think I need to think differently. There is no age and time limit in learning, there is no limit in upgrading ourselves. So, if we go through anything sweeter, nicer; we should accept it to heart and improve ourselves.

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat.
