just pray.

I've been aware. 
Yes. I know! Okay.
It was 7.5 on richer scale.
Do I feel sorry for Nepal? Yeah. I do. But I don't see the need to update it as my status- Nepal, I'm sorry. hashtag Pray For Nepal.

First off, I don't believe in words, Hash tags. If you feel enough sorry for Nepal and all it's people then stop your fingertips from updating it as your status on facebook and twitter. Go watch CNN or BBC and learn how to help them or donate or just do your work. The ultimate thing that I learned about life is that- it goes on. As long as we're alive nothing will stop us from living and doing our jobs. Not even the people from Nepal that died via earth-quake today.

I don't take this things too seriously, people are dying everyday. I don't take this as a joke either. As to me, prayer should be sacred. It should be within you and your God. It shouldn't be a status. Or a show off to news feed, telling people to pray. If you feel for those people in Nepal, you'd pray, this is common sense, seeing someone's status and wall post of the pictures won't get you on your zainamaz. This is something you have to do it yourself.

No I don't wanna picture myself or my family in that position because it's hypothetical and if I did I wouldn't actually care if people showed me sympathy on facebook. I would've wanted to see an action rather than just words.

About asking for forgiveness to God...Okay, I have a say to that. This is bullshit. You should ask for forgiveness of your sins to God, everyday. Not just the day when you think the world could end in his wrath. What difference would it make? Tell me. What difference would it make if you ask for it at the very last minute but sinned your whole life. It's like whenever you sense a possibility of death, you'd ask and pray genuinely for all the sins that you've done, and when the earth settles, the possibility of you dying is proven wrong you are you again. Doing sins in your normal life,doing things that you feel you would ask for forgiveness again when the possibility of death arises.

Technology sucks. I wouldn't be blogging about this if it weren't gone that viral. I would be studying peacefully and watching news on TV and I wouldn't even share what I would be doing. Gee.

opposite sides of a coin

Hi B,  I've been sort of busy with the training for the job and have another interview coming tomorrow. I am torn between staying with the current job and switching or keeping both as part times. I don't know, I guess I will have a decision made if the interview goes well. I have been traveling far for the current one and every time I get on the bus or the the train I feel depression kicking in full force. Suddenly I remember home, the comfort of being around my loved ones, the easy life I once had back in Bangladesh. Certainly, there are things that weren't easy but I guess it felt easy because I was more used to it. Transport was rickshaw and didn't even think twice before booking an uber because I always had some money with me. Now I have literally 200 dollars to go by and I have to think twice to even buy a cup of coffee or a piece of bread. I guess with time, I will be able to save up some money. I am glad at least I got to start working. It is still very overwhelm...

world war?

 Dear B,  I don't watch the news but there has been a lot of speculations on social media of a possible world war III. My sister just texted me that I should save up money as we don't know what that might do to the economy. It is ironic because I just ordered something online last night. Every time I go out, I spend. I don't even have a good paying job and I spend like I have full time. However, one thing I learned from my past is that there is no point in stressing about the future. What I have control over is now. I can either live in the moment or ruin it by ruminating and what good will it bring to my life? Living alone can get boring. However, I am trying to find things to do. Maybe I will visit a bookstore today. Lets see.  I have rearranged the furnitures yesterday. Cleaned as well. The place looks good.  Maybe I will go IKEA. I love it there. Even though I can't afford furnitures, I just enjoy looking at them. Oh what to tell you B. My in-laws are coming this...

"Because nothing makes me happier and nothing makes me sadder than you.”

“If I had a camera," I said, "I'd take a picture of you every day. That way I'd remember how you looked every single day of your life." "I look exactly the same." "No, you don't. You're changing all the time. Every day a tiny bit. If I could, I'd keep a record of it all." "If you're so smart, how did I change today?" "You got a fraction of a millimeter taller, for one thing. Your hair grew a fraction of a millimeter longer. And your breasts grew a fraction of a—" "They did not!" "Yes, they did." "Did NOT." "Did too." "What else, you big pig?" "You got a little happier and also a little sadder." "Meaning they cancel out each other, leaving me exactly the same." "Not at all. The fact that you got a little happier today doesn't change the fact that you also become a little sadder. Every day you become a little more of both, which me...
