Where Has Meqsi Been?





Hello all you wonderful people!


This place has been idle from last weekend and for those of you who have been coming in to check up on me and dropping in emails, thank you so much for the concern. It's been busy these last few days, including the Muslim festival of Eid ul-Adha. I have consistently stared at the Compose New Post screen every night but failed to come up with something to write. This isn't really a writer's block; it's one of those times when you've got so much running through your heard that it gets difficult picking up a single (cheerful) thought to share. My mind has been up and running on maximum capacity, to the point of leaving me absolutely incapable of jotting down anything. I want then every time you come here, you leave with a smile. And when that can't be managed justifiably, I just want to stick around to keeping it idle.

I just got a call from an aunt telling me she just discovered this place and that she read my something-something story that I wrote some 2 years back. It was about a brother and his little sister, Meenu, who were poor and probably missed out on so much that makes up our every day lives. But they were HAPPY. Happy like, really really happy and content with what they had. It's one of my fave short stories, and you can check it out {HERE}.  I loved writing stories back then and I still do, but right now, I find it hard to sit and get myself in the mood of the scene. You can check up my old short stories on my old blog here. Do you think I should go back to writing stories? Tell me what you think about them.

Do you like my new header? I just felt like filling this place up with crazy, random colors. 
For all of you who have requested free site banners, I'll start working on them shortly. Just have to take care of a few things before them. 

Is writing therapeutic to you? Do you write to vent out? Or may be just because it makes you feel better? Happy? Satisfied? Stay tuned for this week's Fantastic Friday because this week we have a guest post from a fellow blogger, Katie, who talks about just that with her own personal experience. Come by and see what she has to share.


Keep Shining!

Muhammad Ali Best Quotes: The Black Superman


Welcome to this week's edition of Fantastic Friday, where we talk about happiness and inspiration and everything that goes in between!
--


This week's inspiration is Muhammad Ali, the greatest boxer of all time. The boxing icon talks about his life and views from someone unknown to the biggest star that the field of boxing has seen in his book The Soul Of A Butterfly. Here's our pick for you this week. Have a wonerful weekend!


Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill, and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. 
― Muhammad Ali


Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
― Muhammad Ali, Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times 




It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.
― Muhammad Ali


The fight is won or lost far away from the witnesses, behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road; long before I dance under those lights.
― Muhammad Ali 




Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.
― Muhammad Ali

How do I love thee, let me count the ways















How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight...

New Books On My Shelf



And I'm thrilled that I have quite a list for now. I love to start a new one as soon as I'm done with one!


Here's my new list:



The classic by Bram Stoker
The aristocratic vampire that haunts the Transylvanian countryside has captivated readers' imaginations since it was first published in 1897. Hindle asserts that Dracula depicts an embattled man's struggle to recover his "deepest sense of himself as a man", making it the "ultimate terror myth".





Niffenegger weaves a captivating story in Her Fearful Symmetry about love and identity, about secrets and sisterhood, and about the tenacity of life--even after death.




A heart-wrenching, powerfully written novel that could do for Palestine what The Kite Runner did for Afghanistan. 





From the famous episodes of the whitewashed fence and the ordeal in the cave to the trial of Injun Joe, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is redolent of life in the Mississippi River towns in which Twain spent his own youth. 




Appearing in a single collection for the first time, these five stories are considered to be Dostoevsky's very best short fiction of the period of his great novels. 




The classic by Emily Bronte; my personal favorite
An intriguing tale of revenge in which the main characters are controlled by consuming passions. 




What's on your night stand?
Happy Weekend!
