So it has been a while, things have been hectic, trying to finish assignments. Fasts are going well, just a little sleep deprieved. So I got this image on e-mail recently. Very true, Hopefully I can remember these points as well!

Today was a good day, on Saturday people find it hard to pass time by since its a half-day work, but I must admit I don't even know how the time went by today. My sister and I decided that we were going to make Bhajiyas today, and I must say for first-time Bhajya-maker, our Bhajya's were really tasty, next time though I will be sure to put more chillies in it. I plan to finish an assignment tonight so i should probably get to it. Oh we also made desert, but I still need to finish it up with some fresh cream and flake, I will try to post the pic tomorrow

Sahih International The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.

Sahih International O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous -

I meant to blog yesterday I just didn't get a chance, yesterday went well all I can say is never eat Tennis Biscuit Sehri time! Talked to a friend yesterday whose is in such a bad position, stuck between two people she loves. There is nothing I can tell her that will help, all I could say is that it is Ramadhaan, make dua to Allah to overcome this problem, to grant you what is best. I think it's far worse being in love with someone and not being able to with them then waiting for love to come your way. May Allah make it easy for her!Aameen.

Today was a good fasting day, I was way too busy at work to even feel the fast. It has become really cold again,we felt really cold Sehri time. It's been a long time since I can remember fasting in winter, the days are shorter and colder, which I don't mind at all, it's so much better than fasting in Summer. By the time I got home from work I had just enough time to read Asr, and then while making salaad Maghrib Azaan went, the day was over before I knew it! So far so good! The only thing that really worries me is the five assignments I have to complete before the 20 August. I really have to put a step on it!

This Ramadhaan I ask Allah to keep me steadfast in my faith, to grant us all more guidance and to grant us hidaayah to become better muslims, to be able to hold on to this state of Imaan for the rest of our lives!Aameen. Please remember me in your duas!

I heard this the other day: When some people discover the centre of the universe they will be very disappointed that it doesn't revolve around them! well said!

I was reading an article (In Samsung's Switch Magazine Issue 2 by Marcus Craft) today about blogging, the upsides and downsides of blogging. The author is very critical of us, bloggers, our experience as writers and the fact that we can write whatever crap we feel like writing without anybody to police us. But then what's the point, blogging is about your freedom, to be able to say & write whatever you feel like, without being policed. People have a choice whether they'd like to read your crap or not. Marcus Craft: If you told me what your blog was, I would follow it, if it's anything as good as your Blog Jam article I am sure it would be an interesting read!

For some odd crazy, inexplicable reason I simply enjoy gossip girl! Sooo crazy that I actually wait for 9:00pm to watch an episode that I have probably watched already twice! Yes, crazy! I know! Nothing like some Upper East Side Drama
