My wish for mobile

If I ever have one wish regarding mobiles to be fulfilled, with guarantee, it would be to ban all kinds of SMS packages. I am daily annoyed with tens of messages. I am in this state when my friends know that I do not like a lot of messages. I am just wondering that what would have had happened to me if my friends didn’t knew about this thing. I should not wonder such thing when I had an experience like that. One day, I got 80 messages from only one friend. Among those 80, 50 were old messages. I am thankful to the person who introduced ‘Conversation’ option in inbox due to which I can delete all of the messages of one person without my favourite saved messages.

After that, I am thankful to my Nokia. In Nokia mobiles, there, sometimes, comes a problem that do not allow the user to send text messages. I got that problem in 2008 with my second e-65 while sending Eid-ul-Azha messages. I had another one which I sell in 2007 but never got the money, although I disturbed my uncle for almost 2 years to give me the money for the mobile he purchased saying that he will pay one thousand above the market price. The second time I got the problem with my present Nokia. I talked to the customer care of the SIM providers. They told me to clear all messages from the mobile. I done so and still can’t send a text message. However, I can send a blank message to any mobile. The moment I input some text and try to send, it fails. But, surprisingly, it never failed sending text messages when I respond to the messages of the service center or when I wanted to activate an SMS package (for sending advertisement messages and not jokes). The readers might be thinking that it’s problem with the company. No, it’s not like that. It’s same for every SIM in that mobile and the SIM works normal in any other mobile. It’s something with my mobile.

Why and How to write?

Writing is not as much difficult task as people might think. The fear of writing should have been reduced after the introduction of weblogs. Everyone can write anything at any time. But what thing makes a person a good writer? Is it a collection of words or the imagination?

I agree with this that some people get something in their genes but think for a while that if the son of Adam have ever waited for that gene, could he be able to produce that gene himself? No! He would have been waiting for someone to give him that gene. Actually, when man started struggling, the genes started adopting new things. If you are not a son of a writer, the only hurdle you’ll have is to find a good guide. Otherwise, the son of a writer does not take a certificate of writing, with him. Allah says in the Holy Quran,

Our today’s problems are the past’s problems.

Today, I was discussing an issue with my cousins. At the end, when I came back, I tweeted, “If you know that your thread will continue to long discussions that couldn’t be justified at either end, will you enable the comment option?” and “If not so, then why will you talk on Islamic contradictory topics?” I hope my topic is very much clear now.

What are our today’s Islam’s problems? They are not about our businesses, our homes, our lifestyle, our talking, our walking, our wearing, our conduct etc. They are about the problems of the past.

First of all, lets see what Qur’an tells us about this matter. I am copying below the verses from the Holy Qur’an.

Health Guidelines for Ramadan!

This article provides useful advice on how to avoid some common problems encountered in Ramadhan. If followed, it would enable one to fast comfortably and enjoy fully the spiritual benefits of Ramadhan.

During the holy month of Ramadhan, our diet should not differ very much from our normal diet and should be as simple as possible. The diet should be such that we maintain our normal weight, neither losing nor gaining. However, if one is over-weight, Ramadhan is an ideal time to normalise one’s weight.

In view of the long hours of fasting, we should consume slow digesting foods including fibre containing-foods rather than fast-digesting foods. Slow digesting foods last up to 8 hours, while fast-digesting foods last for only 3 to 4 hours.

Slow-digesting foods are foods that contain grains and seeds like barley, wheat, oats, millet, semolina, beans, lentils, wholemeal flour, unpolished rice, etc. (called complex carbohydrates).

Fast-burning foods are foods that contain sugar, white flour, etc. (called refined carbohydrates).

Fibre-containing foods are bran-containing foods, whole wheat, grains and seeds, vegetables like green beans, peas, sem (papry), marrow, mealies, spinach, and other herbs like methie, the leaves of beetroot (iron-rich), fruit with skin, dried fruit especially dried apricots, figs and prunes, almonds, etc.

The foods eaten should be well-balanced, containing foods from each food group, i.e. fruits, vegetables, meat/chicken/fish, bread/cereals and dairy products. Fried foods are unhealthy and should be limited. They cause indigestion, heart-burn, and weight problems.
