Stop Abortion!

Today one of my sister asked me to read a note she posted in Facebook. And i felt like i should share it with my readers too!

Dear Mommy and Daddy,

I am in Heaven now... I so wanted to be your little girl. I don't quite understand what has happened. I was so excited when I began realizing my existance. I was in a dark, yet comfortable place. I saw I had fingers and toes. I was pretty far along in my developing, yet not near ready to leave my surroundings. I spent most of my time thinking or sleeping. Even from my earliest days, I felt a special bonding between you and me.


Sometimes I heard you crying and I cried with you. Sometimes you would yell or scream, then cry. I heard Daddy yelling back. I was sad, and hoped you would be better soon. I wondered why you cried so much. One day you cried almost all of the day. I hurt for you. I couldn't imagine why you were so unhappy.


That same day, the most horrible thing happened. A very mean monster came into that warm, comfortable place I was in. I was so scared, I began screaming, but you never once tried to help me. Maybe you never heard me. The monster got closer and closer as I was screaming and screaming, "Mommy, Mommy, help me please; Mommy, help me." Complete terror is all I felt. I screamed and screamed until I thought I couldn't anymore. Then the monster started ripping my arms off. It hurt so bad; the pain I can never explain. It didn't stop.


Oh, how I begged it to stop. I screamed in horror as it ripped my leg off.


Though I was in such complete pain, I was dying. I knew I would never see your face or hear you say how much you love me. I wanted to make all your tears go away. I had so many plans to make you happy. Now I couldn't; all my dreams were shattered. Though I was in utter pain and horror, I felt the pain of my heart breaking, above all. I wanted more than anything to be your daughter. No use now, for I was dying a painful death. I could only imagine the terrible things that they had done to you. I wanted to tell you that I love you before I was gone, but I didn't know the words you could understand.



And soon, I no longer had the breath to say them; I was dead. I felt myself
rising. I was being carried by a huge angel into a big beautiful place. I was still crying, but the physical pain was gone. The angel took me away to a wonderful place... Then I was happy. I asked the angel what was the thing was that killed me. He answered, "Abortion". I am sorry, for I know how it feels." I don't know what abortion is; I guess that's the name of the monster. I'm writing to say that I love you and to tell you how much I wanted to be your little girl. I tried very hard to live. I wanted to live. I had the will, but I couldn't; the monster was too powerful. It sucked my arms and legs off and finally got all of me. It was impossible to live. I just wanted you to know I tried to stay with you. I didn't want to die. Also, Mommy, please watch out for that abortion monster. Mommy, I love you and I would hate for you to go through the kind of pain I did. Please be careful.

Love
Your Baby

Sail, Don't Drift

I find the greatest thing in this world not so much where we stand,
as in what direction we are moving.

To reach the port... we must sail sometimes with the wind,
and sometimes against it.

But we sail, and not drift, nor live at anchor.

You can help - Win the fight - To stop it !

If we lit a Candle for every person living with HIV,
This video would last - 384 days + 6 hours + 12 minutes
You can help - Win the Fight - To Stop It!

Burdens Of Life

We worry about our family, we worry about money or the lack of it.
We worry about work, about where we live, about all sorts of things.

These are all burdens - the things we pick up along life's path and lug them around the obstacles and over the crevasses that life will bring; only to find that, at the destination they are useless and we can't take them with us.

Answer One Question?

In life, answer to only one question matters!
Have you chosen a course that leads to a destination which matters most to you?

Where You Take Life

Over the same sea, on the same winds;
A ship sails in one direction, another in opposite.
It is not the wind that decides which direction the ship goes;
Its the sails; how they are tied and how they are maneuvered.

Similarly, it is not fate that decides where your life is going;
It is all about how you take life and where you take it to.

My Digital Camera - Canon Powershot A560

Just before the Eid day.. I had only 1 day chance to go to the market and search for Sony Cybershot Camera within my 20K BDT budget and prepare myself for my Saint Martin trip. I went to the Sony Show rooms and even in few of the Camera Shops in Bashundhora City Shopping Mall.




At last i bought a Canon Powershot A560 Digital Camera after long thought. According to the Sony Cybershot the Canon Camera is more cheap but there are little difference in the Camera's picture quality that's for sure. But i am more than happy buying this Canon by near to half of my budget for my Sony Cybershot :)

Check out few more snap shots of my Camera ...

Born To Live

I would like to be a flower which blooms to full glory and dies, than being a tree that never blossoms.
I would like to be a spark that burns with a brilliant blaze for a moment, than being a light which cannot show path to anyone.
I would like to be a superb meteor which carries a magnificent glow, than being a sleepy and permanent planet.

I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall used my time.
I am born to Live. Not to Exist.

Eid-al- Fitr - Excitement, Preparation and Expectation

Eid-al-Fitr, is the official holiday for all muslim people who fasts for 1 month of Ramadan and enjoys this day by celebrating with their family members and neighbors. Preparation for this happy day is different by different place and the culture. But every muslim wishes everyone in this day in the same way saying "Eid-ul-Mubarak" or "Happy Eid Greeting" etc.



Suddenly i was searching for Eid Pictures in Flickr and got few interesting picture of Celebration, preparation and expectation :) It reminded my old days in Libya where i saw people had one type of interest and arrangements for Eid celebration. Mostly in the Middle east or Arabian countries.. i found all girls are specially fond of "Mehendi Arts" for Eid Celebration. It's sort of Must and sometimes even the Little boy kids are also using Mehendi Arts on their hands :)


Most of the time i came to know that in western countries Muslim people doesn't get any official holidays in Eid days. But here i can see lots of people already attended to celebrate this Eid day together in London last year :) That must had been a great day indeed.




How much the kids really gets excited in celebrating this Eid Day?? Want to feel it? Look at this Kids' faces and feel them :)
