Proud to be an Indian. Proud to be a Muslim. But sadly, circumstances deny me the pleasure of saying 'proud to be an Indian Muslim'.

People!
"Human beings...they are going to fail you," says Shashi Deshpande in her book The Dark Holds No Terrors. How very true. Sometimes, people simply disappoint you. They can be so insensitive/irritating/infuriating that you are forced to marvel at your ability to keep your calm. I can hardly stand people who
1. do not keep their word
2. preach what they don't practise
3. give themselves airs
4. take others for granted
5. are incorrigible.
The last are the worst, as they will never know what they really are. I hope I never ever fall into any of these categories!!!

Jannah = Justice
...because in this world,
Some win,
Some lose.
Some rise,
Some fall.
Some soar,
Some stumble.
Some are strong,
Some are weak.
Some are healthy,
Some are sick.
Some live long,
Some die young.
Some find happiness,
Some drown in sorrow.
Some live in huge mansions,
Some sleep under the canopy of the sky.
Some love,
Some are favoured.
Some dream,
Some are denied even a chance to dream.
Some prayers are unanswered,
Some tears unnoticed,
Some dreams crushed...
Jannah is justice
Because in this world,
Life, at times, is a bit too much to bear.
Some win,
Some lose.
Some rise,
Some fall.

Ya Allah...
I want nothing more... And nothing less.
* I don't know much about the "beloved ones" part but then I couldn't figure out a way to edit it.
