All Hearts are dead except those with knowledge... All those with knowledge are asleep except those who perform good actions... All those who perform good actions are deceived except those with sincerity... And all those with sincerity are in a constant state of anxiety... [Imam Shafi'i]

My utterly boring life...

Salam salam fellow bloggers,

Just when u thought it was over and couldnt get worse, guess what happened, yes, my life got boringer (thats not even a word)! Same monotonous life. Man I need a holiday! Dont u guys ever feel like u just need to run away from everything for a while and just enjoy nature. Sounds weird coming from me I know, but thats what I feel like so often.

Acha, I'll let u guys know about the highlights of my life:
  • I work now, yay! And I love my workplace and my work alhamdulillah. But some of the people I call are so bad - no sense of charity at all! The stingy doctors are the worst!
  • I told abbu off the other day for backstabbing religious ppl! That felt so good! hehe, I felt older and grown up. Like a lot of people i know, my dad loves to criticize relgious ppl. I find it sickening to tell u the truth. People shud fix themselves first so they can criticize others. And yes, like every1 else, some religious people have flaws. But people love to point that out only when its the case with religious ppl. I told abbu that "look, if ur criticizing sum1 for not bein religious, then by backstabbing ur even worse than them, so u really shouldnt be talking like that!". And then they stopped. Yay, I felt so happy alhamdulillah.
  • Went to Liverpool with ammu. She's such a kid! She kept whinging in the train coz she didnt like where i chose to sit, so we had to change seats. Then she kept whinging coz she wanned me 2 sit right next to her. We got lost in Liverpool hospital! Apparently to ammu, me getting a job is a sign that i'm a grown up now. She sed that because she doesnt see me at home for dinner sometimes, she gets a feel that i wont be living with them all the time, HAHAHAHA! Bengali parents, have to link everything to biye in the end!
  • Watched star wars: episode 1 - to tell u the truth, its nothing that good. It's OK, but the way ppl make such a big deal about it, it's not worth all that. LOTR, on the other hand, was a masterpiece!
  • Watched LOST last nite. It's getting good, eh? U wanna no a secret about what happens ina few more episodes near the end of the season? One of the main characters die! Sorry to be such a spoilsport, but hehe, just wanned to let u's know (esp. Ash!).

No more 2day. Life goes on, each and everyday, its the same process. But to brighten things up, u hafta make the moves. So insha Allah these holidays I want to plab lots of things. And a lot of ways to increase my imaan and keep it high coz honestly, uni is the worst place to keep ur iman high, even with all the muslim societies and all (thats what I find) because there are so many different types of Muslims there and u end up more confused that learned.

Acha, ppl, I shall leave now. The main reason i rote this msg up is coz of flynn's complaints of the songs getting old! So even if u found this post absolutely boring, blame Flynn!

Songs

Salams ppl,

I'm gonna post a few lyrics up. Tell me which song u like.

HERO

There's a hero if you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid of what you are
There's an answer if you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know will melt away

And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you

It's a long road when you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
You can find love if you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt will disappear

And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you

Lord knows dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone tear them away
Hold on there will be tomorrow
In time you'll find the way

And then a hero comes along
with the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
and you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
that a hero lies in you.

WHEN YOU BELIEVE

Many nights we prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hope for a song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know theres much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could, whoa, yes

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
Its hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe somehow you will
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer bird
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I’m standing here
My hearts so full, I cant explain
Seeking faith and speakin words
I never thought I’d say

There can be miracles
When you believe (when you believe)
Though hope is frail
Its hard to kill (mmm)
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (you can achieve)
When you believe
somehow you will
You will when you believe

They don’t always happen when you ask
And it’s easy to give in to your fears
But when you’re blinded by your pain
Can’t see the way, get through the rain
A small but still, resilient voice
Says hope is very near

There can be miracles (miracles)
When you believe (boy, when you believe, yeah)
[though hope is frail]Though hope is frail
[its hard]Its hard to kill (hard to kill, oh, yeah)
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (you can achieve, oh)
When you believe somehow you will (somehow, somehow, somehow)
Somehow you will (I know, I know, know)
You will when you believe [when you](ohoh)

I Believe I Can Fly

I used to think that I could not go on
that life was nothing but an awful song
but now I now the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms

if I can see it then I can do it
if I just believe it there’s nothing to it

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can saw
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly

see I was on the verge of breaking out
sometimes silence can seem so loud
there are miracles in life I must achieve
but first I know it starts inside of me

if I can see it then I can do it
if I just believe it there’s nothing to it

I believe I can fly I believe
I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can saw
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly

coz I believe in you

if I can see it then I can do it
if I just believe it there’s nothing to it

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and da
yspread my wings and fly away
I believe I can saw
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly

Salams every1,

Thanx a bunch :D

Scary telemarketers...

Salams every1,

Let me share a scary experience with u (although some of u will know this already). Last Sunday I was terribly sik with the flu and I got a call from a telemarketer. The guy was indian and he was trying to sell me some holiday deal. He called b4 as well and I kept telling him 2 call and talk 2 my parents but betar mathai kichu dhuke na. He keeps calling and asking ME if i'm interested in the deal. I even sed no to him b4 and he calls again! Matha kharap hoye jay na?

And this time, beta ulta palta proshno jiggesh kore. He asks, "So what r u studying Sujana?", "What was the mark for that?", "wow, ur a genius, r u a human or what?" (ami ei betar flirting method dekhe hashte hashte faint korar obostha).
Then I told him, "look, I've spoken to my parents about this and they're not interested."
Then he asks, "Sujana, have u ever been to India?"
I sed "no, but im from near there"
Then beta kept talking abt india and hindi. And eventually started speaking 2 me in hindi.
Then he sed, "Sujana, do u no, u sound like Amisha Patel?" (thats an indian actress by the way) - amito eita shune hasthte hashte behosh, lol.
I told him, "i have a cold - my voice is weird now" and i went bak to the deal and told him 2 call bak wen my parents are home.
In the end, he's like, "So Sujana, do you want to continue talking with me?" (lamest pick up line ever!)
I just sed, "No, thats ok, i'm fine thank you, Bye" And hung up, lol.

Sorry, that was so hillarious. I told ammu about it afterwards and she was like, "I know i can trust u ishita, tumi onno onek meyeder moto oi polar loge flirt marba na", Ok she didnt say it like that, i'm just making it sound more ancholic bangla :)

Well, hehe, just felt like sharing that.

Black

http://www.indiafm.com/reviews/05/black/index.shtml

Ok, I know that many of u absolutely HATE bollywood movies but please read this review. It's about this new movie out called "BLACK". It's definately 1 of a kind and most unlike other hindi movies. It's abt a blind, deaf and mute girl and her struggle to survive in the world and eventually get an education. There is no melodramatic love story (like most other Bollywood films) and (believe it or not) no songs! The style of the film is very western (which is much better than the Bollywood style i find). But the story is very touching. I'd reccomend it to u guys to watch it. Plus they speak in english like in half the movie. So it wud be good for all you non-hindi-understanding ppl. So read the review and tell me wat u think.

EXAMS!

I need help concentrating 4 exams! Any ideas ppl. I'm the worst procrastinator! Worse than flynn, ash apu, any1 else! No matter how much i yell at meself it dont work :(

How do u guys concentrate? Ash apu's been called a science geek by some1 who i wont mention *cough cough*, how do u study?

Lost is on 2nite!!! yay!!! Love that show! Hafta watch! U c, me parents come home at 6 and after 7:30 I watch TV sometimes and afta 8:30 i'm always watching TV coz all the good shows r on den. So they dont c me studying and they think that im always watching TV, hehe. I'm not always watchin TV but i'm not exactly always studyin either. But its all good. No prob bobs.

Hey u guys like the name of me blog: C'est la vie = thats life. Do u rememba the song from the band Bewitched called "C'est la vie"? I used to really like it. "Say u will, say u wont, say u'll do wat I don't. Say the truth, say to me, C'est la vie" - ring any bells? well, im ancient wen it comes 2 songs so lave me alone.

Now i shud really go - studies calling. I'll save u guys the gollum impersonations ;)

Wassalam

Oprah

Salams all,

Those of u @ home on stuvac or for any othe reason, have u been watching Oprah lately? Yesterdays episode was so upsetting - it was about sexual abuse of children. I went all teary watching it. Did u no that 1 out of 4 kids in the US have reported being abused sexually by some1 they know. But there are many who are too afraid to report such crimes.

One lady, after finding out her boyfriend was sexually molesting her 3 year old daughter, shot her boy friend straight off. Personally I think she did the rite thing, the prison system doesn't keep em in prison for long enuff! And these men are so twisted and sik - they deserve to die!

Another lady was married to a serious sex offender for 8 years without knowing that he was on the run from police. She then found out that he'd been sexually abusing children and videotaping em and putting em online 4 sale. And the worst thing, one of the children in the video was her 8 year old daughter! Can u imagine!

These sik twisted people shud be punished more severely! And the children that are abused in such a manner will be scarred for the rest of their lives. No amount of counselling can change wat they went thru. It's so sad that people cud stoop even lower than animals!

Me finally here

Salam salam to all,

After many of me pathetic attempts at setting up a blog (most wof which has failed) I've finally made one. Me writes this with the assumption that this will work. Goodness gracious me (Bevo girls - do u rememba that?), i even made a blog b4 and it was all running smoothly but then i couldn't post on it. It didn't even show up as me having any blogs for meself.

Anyways, ppl betta post in me blog! Well, even if ye dont i'll keep writing in me blog about meself. Man, i sound like that weird dude from the Simpsons - u no, the redhead dude.

Well, I hafta go now, study calls
- save me! I dont wanna go!
But i must, its important
- I need a life!
You already got 1
- Get away frm me
My precious!
- I hate u Gollum
U need me Smeagol
-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA - bachao!!!!!

hehe, Salams all :D
