1000

AlhumduliLLAH this moment marks 1000 visits on my blog. I owe it to that moment i decided to quit facebook and try something else. without any dramatic exaggeration, using this space instead of fb, for me, has been like moving into a new house, a new place, leaving your comfort zone and entering a new territory. this blog was created to make a new room, paint its walls , throw the trash, and find a cleaner neater place to spend some time online (until the habit breaks). borrowing a line from napoleon's mom, it's good so long it lasts :)... so yeah, this space is frost white, and may look inhospitable, but really i feel cool coming here. it's like a virtual sense of taking a breath in the fresh air while standing on top of a mountain, after a long hot day at campus and work, after a wholesome breakfast on a sunday, after a heat-wave of social interaction.

i pray that viewers take something from this blog every time they stumble upon it. i am not very excited about admitting that these days i dont have much thoughts, musings and reflections to share here. maybe it's a good thing. reduces self-centeredness for someone like me. you know how we are obsessed with what "i believe" and what "my opinion" is. and "what i think". if this was just the case, pep talk and motivational speeches and quotations would be taught, knowledge would have no room, and hoodboy would have become an icon. fortunately that's not the case, and the world has not completely gone to the dogs. there is still tradition, truth standing without pillars (i.e. opinions of every  other tom dick and harry), there is still value in sacred learning, a larger hierarchy in the cosmos and room for commands and orders that anyone's random opinions cannot poke holes in. so yes, glad that there is no urge in posting new posts. this very post one will suffice for some time as far as my two-cents to the world of opinions are concerned.
