She is sitting in front of a mirror. Her make-up case is open and she is busy fixing her face. When she is finished, the woman looking back at her is beautiful, confident and independent. She smiles. She is now ready to face the world and its challenges.
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #373e4d; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">It’s night. She is alone washing her face. The water carries away the colours and the mask she wears for the world. When she's finished, the woman in the mirror is tired and dull with eyes reflecting loneliness and pain. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefefe; color: #373e4d; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">This goes on and on<span style="font-size: 12px;"><br /></span></span>

Let me explain this with example :<br />
<br />
Yesterday, I went to a shoe shop and saw "the shoes of Cinderella" there. These shoes were made of net, they were white in color and looked very delicate. When I wore them, i felt like a princess. But I didn't buy them.<br />
I saw another another black pair of shoes made of leather, which looked strong and more practical.<br />
I bought them.<br />
The reason for buying leather shoes was the need of shoes for daily wear.<br />
<br />
There is a misconception that women buy unnecessary thing. But in reality we buy things which are needed, not the things we want to buy or which fancy us. It’s true that we fantasies things but we women are strong enough that when the times comes we ignore our fantasy and do things which are more practical. We women are proud of ourselves because deep down we know that we got the strength to face this world.<br />

In other words, it shows us<br />that we are hoping for something. But the question is: What are we hoping to get though our prayers?<br /><br />Most people have the opinion that "we should pray to Allah for what we deserve instead of what we desire because what we deserve would be much better than what we desire."<br /><br />But I think we should not pray for either what we deserve or what we desire.<br /><br />We should only pray for Allah's Blessing, because only HE can bless us with what we actually desire in a way that we deserve.<br /><br />We can only be safe when we are under Allah's blessing. :)<br />I pray "May Allah bless you all." :Dismathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08028475757639785636noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294564031832397192.post-41981449529458065502010-07-26T09:29:00.000-07:002010-11-02T10:29:22.983-07:00Planning The Wonderland EscapeEven thought I’ve lived in this <a href="http://myblog-ismat.blogspot.com/2010/06/alice-in-wonderland.html">wonderland</a> for so long and learned lots of new things but, the thing is that it will always remain wonderland and I don’t want to be here.<br />
<br />
But the problem is I‘m lost in this world and can’t find my way back to my world. I know I will find my way because I have belief in myself. :)<br />
<br />
This world is just like puzzle to me here they say one thing, but means something totally different; I always have to guess their motives. It’s tiring job.<br />
<br />
It’s a deceiving world and my biggest fear is that if I live here too long then I will become one of them and lose my way as well myself forever.<br />
<br />
The lessons I have learned are not so pleasant either. They will always remain in my mind as bad memories.<br />
<br />
Hope that I will come out of this wonderland soon even thought I’m sure that I will be a changed person but it would be me. :)ismathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08028475757639785636noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294564031832397192.post-63246985978335106402010-06-25T22:21:00.000-07:002010-06-25T22:22:40.377-07:00Topic: Honest Person’s DefinitionLast week we were talking about honesty and honest people in my office.<br />The discussion between me and my superior went as follows:<br /><br />She:” In my opinion, a person who is honest always tells the truth. But Pakistani people don’t do it. They tell a lie and even if the other person knows they are lying, they don’t accept it”.<br />Me: “But not all people are like this. Surely there are some good people.”<br />She: “Like who?”<br />Me: “I consider myself an honest person”.<br />She: “Oh really??????”<br />And I nod my head.<br />She: “Do u tell lies?”<br />Me: “Yes, sometimes ………”<br />She: “And you accept when other person finds you are lying????”<br />Me: “Yes, I accept my mistakes”.<br />She “Still you think you are honest person?”<br />Me: “Yes”.<br /><br />She starts laughing and left the room. Without listening to what I wanted to say.<br />I feel really bad that if I tell her that I always speak the truth then it would make me a honest person but in reality, this statement would be a lie.<br /><br />Because it’s true that mostly I try to speak the truth but sometimes on rare occasions, I do tell a lie but I suck at lying, so mostly people know that I am lying. When they ask about it, I tell the truth. I think I’m courageous as well as honest. Because I accept my mistakes, it doesn’t make me less honest<br /><br />I didn’t know a single person who would say that he/ she never lied in his / her life.<br />So isn’t it better that I accept my wrong doing and feel shame in doing so instead of boasting a false fact??????<br /><br />Hope at least you people understand my point and the new angle of honesty which I’m trying to convey ismathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08028475757639785636noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294564031832397192.post-91218585116017285742010-06-17T03:20:00.000-07:002010-06-17T03:26:48.580-07:00Alice In WonderlandMost people ask me,<br />” How is your job going?”<br />or<br />“How is your experience?” <br />These questions remind me of “Alice in wonderland”, a story in which a girl named Alice falls into a rabbit hole and steps into a new world.<br />While going to my job, I feel like stepping into Alice’s shoes and going to wonderland where nothing is as it seems to be.<br />It’s a world totally apart from the world I’ve lived in up till now.<br />Things are so different and difficult for me. People are very cooperative but their way of doing things and mentality is totally different than mine.<br />I get very confused because all the things I believed in have been altered somehow and have no value in their eyes<br />Even if they say a simple thing, it seems like riddle to me <br />And sometimes I wonder if it’s happening to me only or do other feels like this too?<br />I‘m trying to survive in this wonderland.<br /><br />Let’s hope that I can do it with head held up high!

Why m I not afraid of dying? I m not very pious person, and not very religious person either than y didn't I feel fear? Why am I ok with weather I live or die?<br /><br />Than I remember my feeling when i was in 9th, exams are near but my preparation of chemistry is very very bad, it seems like I m going to fail my paper but still I go and give paper by some miracle I pass that exam.<br /><br />Same is the case with me now, even though I m not prepare but I have faith in ALLAH‘s generous nature and I m hoping that HE would forgive me. Regardless of weather I deserve it or not .<br />What if ALLAH just forgive me because I have faith in HIM :)ismathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08028475757639785636noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294564031832397192.post-47151932061431770012010-03-12T02:12:00.000-08:002010-11-02T10:16:36.938-07:00emotionsKuch arsay say meray zahan may aik baat ghoom rahi thi jo may ab ap logon say share karna cahon gi.<br /><br />May soch rahi thi k agar hum insani zindagi ko aik mathematical equation consider karain jiss may bohat saray variables hotay hain tou is equation ka sab say complex variable ho ga emotion.<br /><br />Emotion ki wajha say insani zindagi bohat pacheda (complex) ho jati hai aur hum agar emotion ko hi apni zindagi say nikal dain tou hum inasn hi nahi rahain gay bulkay robots bun jain gay .<br /><br />Is ka matlab hai k hum ko insan rahay k liye emotion ki zarrorat hai tou is say sabit ho gaya hay hum insanon ki zindagi already kafi complexed hai<br /><br />Upper say hum insan apni zindagi ko mazeed complex kartay hain jab hum ziyada say ziyada negative emotions ka istamal kartay hain<br /><br />Ab baat ho jaye k negative aur positive emotions kon kon say hotay hain.
