If you believe in angels, they are around you in the form of your close friends and family and so is the belief in evil. A human has the potential to bring out both either the best or the worst in you. That’s why it becomes so important to surround ourselves with people who can…

From my childhood, I’ve always been a dreamer and there has been no control over things that I accomplish in those dreams. Maybe that’s why the first time I heard the song, “I have a dream”, it made my belief and reasons to dream even stronger. So here it goes: “I have a dream, a…

Ramadan is my favorite time of the year just like Christmas, Easter or Diwali. No. No. I’m not disclosing my faith here. I’m just about to share my story with one of them. My love for Azaan began when I was in school. Next to our school, was a big mosque. It stood tall and…

Just a few hours ago, I posted my blog on the Liebster Award. Now, I am so pleased to write a post on “The Blogger Recognition Award”.
