The Candle, The Light and The Amish

Image
By

The picture above is a sign of a good old source of light, the sweet candle, now only remembered in terms and times of a higher emotional state of mind.

Yes, you guessed it right - a romantic dinner! But there is also one more occasion when the emotions are high and the candle is thought of quite desperately. And that's when you are resting on your bed, in a dark summer night, and suddenly all the sounds go quiet around you. You open your eyes - you see nothing, you try to listen - you hear nothing. The first thing that pops into one's mind is a candle.

You get up and light a candle, lay back on your bed, and wonder - why! Why in the middle of the night! Why my block! Suddenly you feel like being a dinner for the mosquitoes, so you get up and start wandering around the house. You're still thinking... why did I pay the bill, why did I work all week long to pay the bill, why do I do it, Why do I have to go to the office again in the morning. What my life has been, why do I still live here.... What's the future... You in the meantime also curse the "electricity-suppliers", shall I say only "suppliers" or just "liers" (for the sake of convenience) :)
But I was thinking, why do we get bothered with whats going on? The question revolves around human psychology, economics, sociality, prosperity and a lot more if you think... But just one point is worth highlighting...
Curiosity leads to discovery, discoveries leads to ideas, ideas leads to inventions, inventions leads to marketing, Marketing leads to wants and wants become needs. When you don't get when you need, you get bothered.
Now the point is, if there isn't any "Curiosity", there won't be any needs (except for the natural ones). The question is, is there anyone in the world, who isn't curious? The answer is, yes and no. There aren't any normal people (mentally and religiously) who are not curious of new advancements. But there are also some people who are not curious or more accurately 'ignorant' about the new advancements of technology and lifestyle.

The most well-known community in the world is the Amish community. Besides all the religious matters and believes, isn't that the only community living at peace!

what if we all are rendered Amish compellingly or willingly sometime in near future :)

Bomb Threat at Business Avenue

By
There has been a bomb threat at Business Avenue at Shahrah-e-Faisal. The building has been evacuated and emergency measures has been taken. Bomb disposal squad is searching for the threat at the moment. The picture was taken at 3 in the afternoon which shows ambulances in front of the building and people waiting outside for any confirm reports. One of the pedestrians humorously told that this is just a rumor spread by someone who needed a day off! Other statements highlighted that the treat was made in 11 in the morning some said the building was evacuated around 2 in the afternoon. People standing outside are getting a bit bored, some anxious and a some grumpy! One young individual said "I don't know what they are trying to do, either let us go home or let us go back to our offices" There are still no confirmed reports of the threat or the threat being neutralized. If you get any updates, please share. Also lets pray that noting really happens, I'm sitting in the bui...

Help an Orphan Girl Get Married

By
Hello All,   Here is the complete situation.   In my last email I explained the situation of an orphan girl getting married and Rs. 80,000 required for her marriage. I am very thankfull for the possitive replies I get from many of you.   In last Ramadan I told you all about a fruit seller that he is in a loan and with all your supprt 70% of his loan is now paid off. The remaining amount is Rs. 40,000.   So a total of Rs. 1,20,000 is required for both above mentioned things, and a good collection have been done too. Please help from even Rs. 100 in this good work as it will be repaid to us from Allah with a great deal of profit in this life and the next life.   Thanks for the support. Again I assure you all that I know these people personally and will handover the money to them with my own hands under full responsibility that your money will be used for the task I have mentioned. I know there are a lot of frauds but I have personally researched about these people. There a lot ...

Scared Terror

By
8th of April, needless to write about stupid politicians being beaten up and aggression on the roads, the next day. Fleeing from office around 5 in the evening I reached my area safely but quite late due to heavy traffic. Near yaseenabad, I came across this gas station which was shield-closed with the tent walls. I was to drop a friend but I stopped to take a snap. As the picture speaks the bikers await desperately for fueling. I did not notice at the time that one man was approaching me while i was taking the picture. I later discovered that I did capture him. If u notice closely he's the person stepping out from the bikes and looking towards me. Just as I put my cell in the pocket he arrived and asked what and whose picture I took, two more "decent" guys approached me and asked me to show them the picture, after a bit of hitch I showed them the picture while holding the phone in my hand. He asked me why did I take this picture. I told him that I'm a reporter and I w...
