Tolerance

I just came back from my juma prayers. I have prayed in mosques. Dosent matter to me if they are shia or sunni, they are mosques. Places of worship, where people come to be at peace with their Lord. So how can we as humans and insignificant beings name the mosques? It is the Lord's house, who are we to differentiate between who comes there or goes from there? Tolerance is what every religion teaches but hardly is practiced by its followers. Tolerance in everything from religion to fellow beings in the work place and tolerance for your neighbors so why cant we practice what we preach? Nobody was staring at me or passing any comments about how i prayed when i was offering my prayers, so how can anyone say that Muslims are not a tolerant people? Food for thought, who cares what anyone else is praying like?

Ambulance

Everyday coming to and going back from work i see about 3-4 ambulances trying to get through the rush hour traffic, with their sirens howling and lights blazing they still get no room from the cummters to get away.How can we become this numb towards the plight of others? Since when did we become this way?Even the policewala idiots who are directing the traffic are oblivious tot he fact that in the ambulance there might be a person who may die because of the delay in reaching to the hospital, all they are concerned about is the vvip movement that they have to clear the roads for!!! day before yesterday a colleague was telling me that according to a news report 6 people died on their way to the hospital in an ambulance on the 2nd of September! People please when u see an ambulance give it room to pass no matter if it is a genuine case or otherwise, you never know when you may be the one needing to get to a hospital,FAST!

Smiles Part2

On the way back from work i was still following my smiles for free formula, i was suddenly hit by the idea about why ppl were frowning all the time. They are angry, angry at themselves, angry at others , angry at God, angry at mother nature, angry angry angry! Part of this anger comes from the frustration that is linked to the belief that they cant do anything about their lives in order for them to be happier. I was suddenly reminded of the move "The pursuit of Happiness". Food for thought, if we don't control our lives then who does?

Smile

In the morning today i was coming to work and suddenly i had this urge to just smile. I tried, i tried to just smile for no reason at all. I tried and i tried and i ended up with something in between an amused frown and a silly grin. Why? I looked about me at the people in the other cars and i saw the same thing everywhere, frowns, people ion deep thought, or just blank looks. They say it takes fewer facial muscles to smile than it takes to frown and even then why are people so inclined towards doing more worn than is required? I decided to give a smile to everyone who looked my way. I did give smiles. I got smiles back. :) My day suddenly got better, for NO REASON AT ALL!! :)
