Isbah's Anatomy on Love

"Love Happens, and when it does, it gets you whether you want it or not, like it or not. And when it leaves, it never looks back at you, no matter how hard you try. Love is tempting, it is rebellious, but we all must learn to stop, even when we are in love, stop for our integrity and self respect, because love might leave you one day, but you will never leave yourself. And when you are left with yourself, all you are going to need is that self respect & integrity that u lost a while ago for the love that left you standing still.

Boundaries don't keep others out, they fence you in, and so it would be terrible thing to say that people should aspire not to fall in love anymore. Its a natural and most humanly act to follow. Just remember that there's a line that separates you from everything else in this world. Even love. And when someone tries to cross that line, you either let them, or you don't. If you let them, you risk too much, so just be sure that its worth it. If you don't, just remember that it wasn't worth you.

Sometimes, we want something to be true just because we waited very long for it to be true, dreamed too much for it to happen, but the other person might not feel the same way. It is quite possible that you cant love someone back the way they love you. So the right thing to do is to let them go. Depriving them of your love will not be as bad as pretending to love them back.Plus, remember that the ones that really disserve giving up your honor for will never ask for it in the first place."

"There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who wont any more, and who always will. So don't worry about the people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future" BUT "You can close your eyes to reality but not to memories" and there's a reason for that too !

I would like to add this quote:

"But true love is a durable fire,

In the mind ever burning,

Never sick, never old, never dead,

From itself never turning."

~ Walter Raleigh

And the best of love is the love of Allah, and all love that is a means or part of this true love.

"And those who believe are overflowing in their love of Allah." (Qur'an, 2.165)

Chalo Tau Sahee

To those who are lost, To those who are about to surrender to difficulties and retreat, To those who are refusing to carry on the journey just because there are foreseen thorns on the path to their dreams, To those who are giving up hope too soon,to those who are turning their backs to their beloved who is asking them to hold on, To you, my friend.
Don't bury your dreams, don't give up, be strong, have faith. Ten years down the road you don't want to look back and regret not trying harder, not fighting harder, turning your companions down and not making your dream come true.

Kya huwa agar zindagee
Zara bhoulsey gayey
socho to zara,
Jungulon mein bhee raastey to hain
Humey bhee koyee milhee jayey ga
Chalo to sahee, chalo to sahee

Put Nightmares to bed

Health Day: Nightmares can be triggered by factors including stress, medications, fear, sleep disorders, or a recent loss.

Here are suggestions to help conquer bad dreams, courtesy of the U.S. National Library of Medicine:

• Reduce stress by talking to friends and relatives about what's bothering you.
• Try relaxation techniques to reduce stress and anxiety.
• If you started having nightmares after starting a new medication, talk to your doctor to find out if it could be causing your sleep problems.
• If you're taking illegal drugs or drinking alcohol to excess, join a support group to help you stop using these substances.
• Get regular exercise.
• Start a regular sleep schedule. Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day may help prevent nightmares.

Sameer's thoughts on Balance

On my way back from office, I've experienced several incidents where the cars right behind me or the ones coming from the opposite side would have their lights set at high beam, blinding me and probably many other drivers. Countless times, I've thought of giving such people a piece of my angry mind. There are many such examples in our daily lives where anger seems to want to take charge over us. Some people give in to this feeling, while others simply want to be the better person and just let it go. I talk about this incident here to stress the importance of balance. 'Always ignoring' or 'always getting' angry are both wrong choices to make.

Taking the side of the apparent positive, at first, seems to be the right choice. That is a debatable concept in my opinion. For extremism in any shape or form is something to avoid. It is the art of balance that helps us to lead a steady life. Balancing one's work and play, one's love and hate, one's anger and kindness, one's heaven and earth, one's dark and light. For only God knows what's best for us. We just have to try and find the middle road.

The concept of balance is in everything. That is also why it has been stressed as such in our religion as well. Everything in this life has a negative counterpart. This is described in Chinese philosophy as Ying and Yang

I just found a very interesting article googling about these thoughts of mine :). It's not a short article but if someone is interested in the concept of Yin and Yang with respect to Islam, one must read this.

I Hate Love?

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”

~ Neil Gaiman

"Often it is the most deserving people who cannot help loving those who destroy them"
~Hermann Hesse

If love is hate-able then what's love-able?
I hate, hate.

This I believe too

Love is trust and faith, in all circumstances. Love is never giving up. Even in the most devastating conditions, never doubt the power of will, never doubt the human capacity for great change. This I believe, I believe that people must love, unconditionally.

Sometimes things seem difficult and impossible. I tend to go with the tagline "Where there is a will, there is a way".If the will is strong and is coupled by love (trust+faith) and persistence, and if one is sure that his\her path is correct and if one is ready to fight the good fight and face the challenges laid down the unachievable may actually become achievable. Do you believe so?
