"THE ARRIVALS"
It is a lengthy series, I would like to spend same time in learning Quran rather. After-all "THE ARRIVALS" is just a documentary and creation of human mind. It might be "good-enough", I do not know about that, but surely it can not be truer than Quran. Quran just seems a dream to me sometimes, life on this earth is very different. I can not lose hope anyway, I believe that Allah can change the situations very well, and if, He wills He will. Keep praying!
"Imam Mehdi (A.S) aur Hazrat Issa (A.S)"
This is a very good philosophy indeed! Like all of you, I believe in this concept as well. But with an extension that in this world we have to act and do something good as well. Not just sit and think and believe and wait that things are not going to be fine untill "Imam Mehdi (A.S) aur Hazrat Issa (A.S)" appear! This is guidance that I have understood that Quran provides us, to live good life in world and the hereafter, not just at personal level, but at a wholesome level of Humanity.
"jamhooriyat bht achi hy but not for the Paksitan"
Silence is better for Pornistan, instead of once dreamed "Pakistan". Alas!
As life moves on, things change, people change, technology changes too. Here I share, very few of the personal, professional and social stuff, which I have come across over the years. Life is on.

Pride, Ego and Meekness
Had a lot of lengthy unending discussions, was once asked that “Don't you have ego?” After some contemplation and more of gathering others' words compiled a question to prompt discussion. Lets consider two examples straight away to open up to the lesser analogy and more of a fuss.
Example 1:
Surely more dirt has been thrown by these two examples on the topic, still a matter of concern is that, would it be required to redefine ego, pride and meekness and their synonymous terms from a humane and human perspective, until its too late and the day of judgment arrives.

Example 1:
Case 1:
A person in prayer prostrating for Allah, shows humbleness through this act. A prayer in ba-jamaAt namaz (prayer in group) would make his/her head nearly touch feet of the person standing ahead without any worry or care. What does ego and pride mean for such a prayer in mosque?
Case 2:
On the other hand, suppose situation out of prayer or mosque, rarely would anyone agree to near-touch someone's feet by ones head, and even in that case not without feeling disgrace. What does ego mean for prayer out of mosque?
Example 2:
A mosque superintendent would not let poor people sleep inside the mosque. So poor men would sleep in front of mosque's door, in the veranda, even though that was winter season. Unlike other mornings, this morning while the sun was rising above and poor men had started to move a little to get out of their beds, a dog was seen resting on their dirtiest quilts, aside them. What does pride and ego mean for such an educated mosque superintendent and what does stand for meekness?
