A diamond ring...
A perfect gift ..
from the Lord of the ring..
Now how do I look ?
blink! blink!
Shine like a diamond ring....

The story of Muhammad..
A messenger, a prophet..
secluded himself  in the cave of Mount Hira
until one day the revelation came down to him
and the Angel Gabriel (Jibreel) appeared to him
and said loudly: "Read!"
Poor Muhammad was illiterate,
Admitted his lacking..
he said to the angel: "I am not a reader."
The angel took a hold of him
and squeezed him as much as he could bear,
and then said again: "Read!"
Prophet Muhammad said again :
"I am not a reader."
The Angel again seized the Prophet
and squeezed him and said:
"Read! In the Name of Your Lord,
Who has created all that exists;
who has created a man from a clot,
Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous,
Who has taught the writing by the pen,
who has taught man that which he knew not."
Read Muhammad Read... be brave at heart
A prophet must read!

He gave me tulips
But I wanted roses
He bought me golden ring
But I wished for a diamond
He took me to the beaches
But I preferred the malls
He suggested the movies
But I loved  my cosy home
He played football
But I loved the indoor games..
He read only newspapers
But I took all novels to bed
He ate rice and curry and kebabs
But I adored Chinese, Indian ..
in fact all types of food..
He hated vegetables...
Woo... but I adored salads..
He loved his comfort zone
But I loved the adventures...
Between night and day...
Between North and South...
Between someone like me
and someone like you..
Could we ever ever fit in between?
Mad... Off he went to his country...
and left me all alone to ponder...
of how.. of why.. of will... of what...
This opposite attract ...
Love and hate...
hate and Love....
Searching for just a tiny bit of similarity...
so this love could last till eternity...

In a deserted land..
Maryam was crying in pain...
All alone in a desert...
She crawled to the nearest palm tree
Leaned her heavy body against it...
She was giving birth to her child...
and she was experiencing the greatest pain,
She had no one except her god
and god protected her...
She heard a whisper...
"shake the trunk of the palm towards you
and fresh, ripe dates will drop down onto you.”
She thanked god for the love and care...
For her and the newborn... a miracle child..

The crispy ginger bread
for tea.... has gone.
Impatient Hansel turns around
yelling, shouting, screaming...
Oh no! Not my door again!
What a new fresh ginger fragrance!

Love melts us in one atmosphere
When we breathe
but there seems to be  no more air
Love melts us in one desire
When we hold each other
Two hearts melt together
still we hold each other tightly
inseparable...in this one honored
place
Heaven...

as obedient as my cat
who waits for me at the door
and jumps to kiss my tired feet
from a hectic long day
standing at lecture rooms

as obedient as my cat
who climbs excitedly on my bed
and licks my feet again
at the break of dawn..
just to inform me..
"wake up silly lady...
Its time for a morning prayer"

as obedient as my Harry
who sits next to the praying mat
and patiently observes
and waits till a prayer is done..

What a sweet way  to start a fresh new day...
with an obedient four legged son called Harry
who is loyal and cute in his
own sweet way....
