Ramadan in the Holy City
2 years, i.e. in 2004 and 2006, I've been in the Holy city of Makkah during the last week of Ramadan. And as ramadan is approaching, I feel drawn to that city again. I'm travelling tomorrow, to another city, which is quite the opposite of Makkah Mukarramah.....I'm not really very enthusiatic about it. I just feel the the piety and tranquility of Makkah and Madina hitting me.
Intention or Niyyath
“INNAMAL A’UMAALU BIN-NIYYATH – WA INNAMAA LI IMRI IN MAA NAWAA…”
This is the first Hadith in Saheehul Bukhari narrated by Omar-ibn-Al-Khattab[R]:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended."
It is necessary for us to have good intentions while doing anything. Especially as Muslims, we seek the pleasure of Allah in any walks of our life and doing things with good intention increases the bounty.
As a person, I truly believe, that if our deeds are governed by good intentions, deep within our hearts, no matter how others try to portray you as bad or pray for calamity to befall us, it will not affect us. We have the inner satisfaction of doing things for a good cause with a good intention. Mental peace, which leads to contented life. All begin from good intention.
And people with good intention will always receive good things. It is all what you have hidden deep down inside you. If you are pure in your heart, fear nothing, God is always with you and, remember, your heart is an open book to Him and only Him. He will never forsake you. Do Good, Be Good and Think Good!!!

Guilt
There are a lot of times when I hurt people, unintentionally. It doesn't really strike me that I've hurt them until later. But by then it is too late. Either I don't get the opportunity to apologize properly or I don't get the circumstances to apologize. It might be about the timing. I try as much as I can not to hurt people intentionally. So, I live with the guilt for quite a long time. And when I meet the person again, either I forget about it or they forget about it (or most times, they didn't even get hurt, it was just me thinking that I hurt them.)

A Cool Day
Well, not exactly cool as in cold weather. Summer is still on and the temperature is around 45 deg Celsius, but the experience(s) I had today was quite, well, different and an eye-opener.

Today's Techie Trivia
I had attended a vendor's presentation today. They were from China and were presenting a lot of techie stuff. What really caught my attention was the laptop they were using AND the laser keyboard. YESSS!!! The laser keyboard that we usually see in the forward emails was right in front of my. My boss took it from them for a while and was playing with it and his boss was asking me, 'Can you see it?' 'coz as usual I was occuppying one of the seats at the back. Yes, I had my fair share of inspecting the equipment remotely. It was just amazing!!!!
