Lailathul Qadr

Ramadan as I say is not only spiritual but also a habitual month because it not only increases your closeness to God but also corrects your bad habits and allows you to control it.  In cases where we are not able to control our eating ,drinking, smoking etc. this month is the best time for it as it helps you to get control over all these habits for a month which is enough to correct ourselves and have a conrol on everything we do.  The last ten nights of Ramadan are very important coz among the last ten nights fall the Lailathul Qadr which is highly assumed to be on the eve of 27th Ramadan.  Muslims put their heart and soul in prayer and doing good deeds and the reward is believed to multiplied 70 times in this sacred month. Its like a yearly sale that you can gather up blessing and rewards and multiplying it. Lailathul Qadr as a matter of fact is the best of all sales it is also known as the Night of Power as it is not 70 times but a benifit or reward of doing a good deed for 1000 months. Be it prayer, alms giving, zakat, helping poor, even saying good words to others or forgiving your enemies. Muslims spend sleepless nights to get Allahs mercy, blessings, rewards etc.  It can fall in any of  the last odd ten nights of Ramadan.  According to scholars the highest chances are the eve of 27th ramadan.  Today is the eve of 27th Ramadan and I ask all my friends and others to include me and family in your prayers and may Allah bless you and shower all his blessing on all mankind and protect us and accept our good deed, prayers and duas Ameen.

Aquarium

This I think should be in every house who loves to relax when they feel depressed, lonely or even just to lazy around. Though its not yoga, it has the qualities of easing ones mind.My favourite pass time is to sit near it and look at the way they swim ,chase, hunt for food etc. I feel they do understand our mood swings and swim in a pattern that puts us at ease .You can sit looking at them for long hours without feeling bored. They do not show their love by touching you like cats and dogs do but they sure do have a bond which you can feel the moment you are next to them.The colours the nature the light and the movement what more to ask to add on to the beauty of your house.

Kittu

Let me introduce to you the most naughtiest, cutest and the most lovable member of our family. He is kittu our pet cat. we got him when he was only six months old but looked bigger than his age.Any one who saw him fell in love with him. I remember when he was brought in for the first time  to my house he ran and hid under the sofa the entire night, i had zero knowledge of cats but i knew some basics which i read on net. I asked my sons friend to pull him out and showed him his sand box in case he wanted to use it. My husband was not in town and would return only after 2days and he was the only person who knew how to handle cats as he had six of  them when he was small.As usual i got up in the morning to see the cat watching me and as i walked he tried to catch my feet which i thought was an attack made by him so i warned my kids to be very careful and wore a socks as his nails were hurting me which made the situation real worse as he felt it were some coloured mice moving around.When my neighbour came in to see my cat and saw him running behind me she said "he is hungry and didnt like the food that you have placed for him"after i placed another food he was happy and had it all.Then the next problem was that he was used to late night playing and sleeping all day so when we went to bed he would start meowing or scratching on our door.Finally my husband arrived and then all fell in place.Now he is attached to us in such a way that we take him as our two year old son and my son keeps saying that kittu is his brother.As naughty as cute as cuddble and as lovable as ever .
