Woh Humsafar Thhaa - Sufi Music: Tunes I Like Tuesday



Dedicate it to your someone special, I just did to mine!


Just today I was talking to my friend about how my Tunes I Like Tuesday series were getting boring but I came across a song I just had to share! This one is a soulful number, originally sung by Abida Parveen, one of the finest Sufi vocalists of the modern era. This song completely takes you to a new level and the remake is equally enjoyable. Currently airing as the OST for a famous Pakistani TV Series Humsafar, the ghazal is making waves amongst the youth once more, with all the modern music, drums and guitars they enjoy. And yet, many are turning back to the original version for the immense grace of it.


You don't have to understand the language to appreciate the magic of this ghazal, as long as you enjoy pure eastern music. Just hit the play button and let it take over you!





Enjoy!

Life Partners; So You're in it for life!



Women are to be treated as queens. Any man is not a man till he understands and accepts that his respect is due to all the women around him, especially when it comes to his wife. 

A wife is every thing from your best friend to your life partner, but make sure you give her the due position and respect she deserves. First and foremost of her rights is love and respect, without condition.

Love her, accept her, help her into her new life with you, and she will surprise you with the way she loves you back. Love her unconditionally, for she leaves her family, friends and her whole life and steps into yours to start a new one, just with you. Do not underestimate any sacrifice she makes for you.

Love her when she sips on your coffee or tea. She only wants to make sure it tastes just right for you.

Love her when she "pushes" you to pray. She wants to be with you in Jannah (Paradise).


Love her when she asks you to play with the kids. She did not "make" them on her own.


Love her when she is jealous. Out of all the men she can have, she chose you.


Love her when she has annoying little habits that drives you nuts. You have them too.


Love her when her cooking is bad. She tries.


Love her when she asks if she looks fat. Your opinion counts, so tell her she's beautiful.


Love her when she looks beautiful. She's yours so appreciate her.


Love her when she spends hours to get ready. She only wants to look her best for you.


Love her when she cries for absolutely nothing. Don't ask, just tell her its going to be okay.


Love her when she suffers from PMS. Buy chocolate, rub her feet and back and just chat to her (trust me this works!)


Love her when whatever you do is not pleasing her. It happens to every one once in a while and hers will pass too.


Love her when she tells you how to drive. She only wants you to be safe.


Love her simply because she is yours. You don't need any other reason more special than that!

Let Your Troubles Make You Better -- Fantastic Friday





You have been given your set of problems because you and only you can solve them. It's God's way to prepare you for the future, bring out the best in you. Take it as a gift, graciously, humbly, don't express words of distress, because you have been chosen to do this... You possess every ounce of strength, every capacity in you to take on what seems to bully you down today. It's God's call; stand up, face it, brave up, keep faith. There is going to be a morning soon!

I wish you luck, my friend, strength and faith.

Have a Fantastic Friday!

Life Is Good



life is good!
I can't have everything my way. What I can do is make the most of what I have with me. And, to be honest, my life's good. I've got the perfect family who won't let me fall. I've got a book supply that can last for over a month if all I were to do 24/7 was read. Winters are so here, and the best way to celebrate them is with late night apple pies and creamy coffees. Late night fast food home deliveries and movies every weekend, sleeping at the brink of dawn. If you're thinking, yes, I'm a foodie! 


Life is good even when you've got no one to share it with, because it's all about how you look at it. You've got a wonderful family to share it! Not every one has a family so hold there hands, give them a warm smile and when they get down, tell them it's going to be just fine, because YOU are there for them.


Life can be good when you've got a demanding job that grinds you 5 days a week. Being busy keep us workaholics happy. And in this age, who isn't a workaholic? Being busy lets you appreciate your leisure time more generously. After a long day of work, seeing a loved one smile at you is so refreshing! You realize though things in the outside world change at an insane speed, some things never change. Things like love and family.


Life's good when you've got an old book in your hands and tea at your disposal. Look out the window and see Lahore's fog on a cold December morning and snuggle closer to the heater. Oh I can hardly wait!


Life is good even when you've got no car. Walk and meditate, see the things around you. Ponder. How often do you that? Welcome to reality. And no, reality doesn't always mean something horrible. It's much better than that!




There is something good about having a limited budget. You get to search, choose, search again and try to choose again for the best thing you can get within your budget. Why are there so many stories about the richie riches who were anything but happy? 


Life's good when you hear a love song and it makes you smile. It makes you want to get up and dance. Dance, baby dance. Life is good!


Life is good when you receive a forgotten letter the old style, from an old friend who lives half way across the world but still remembers you. There is something so nostalgic about traditional letters and the envelopes stamped with the By Air Mail text.


Life is good for so many countless reasons. We just have to be appreciative enough and open ourselves to what it has to offer. Every one has their share of troubles, but that doesn't make it any less beautiful. I wish you a wonderful life!

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!
