The Calling for Peace and Tranquility

Looking at the photo below, do you feel the most serene moment of the day? Can you express or understand the feeling you have when you pray?

The Heart of Prayer

Do you know prayer requires more heart than anything else? You pray for yourself, your family, and everyone around you. This is why the best prayers are always in unison, in sharing and why people gather together for prayers. Waseef Akhtar (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) took this photograph of Al-Masjid al-Haram at Isha (evening) time on […]

Realm of Fantasy

On a snowy day life stands still. We keep ourselves confined, as this creates another world around us; transports us to the realm of fantasy, or a world of surreal environment. If you think so, then look at this image by Tina Primozic. The snow, the trees, sky, and clouds on the left makes everything […]

When We Reach the End

What is it you need to be happy? What do we do in life…hurry all day for fame, money, and success. We store our pursuits until the very end of our journey. Then, one day we grow old, become weak, and our power to run is gone. The time comes when we stop for the […]

Waiting for Ourselves…

We all wait, for our loved ones, for our dreams to come true, and for our own destiny to turn into a gold mine. But does it happen always? Do we get everything we wanted most? Does that stop us from keep dreaming, and keep hoping? We all wait, don’t we? We all wait for […]

Lost in Time

A Numbness pains me, pins me to the ground. My heart aches at the feeling of the lost times and my heart cries in loss of those times he won’t be able to see. If only time can be reversed…even for one moment; if I could again live those green days. Time flies and how! […]

An Unguarded Moment

When you gaze at the photo below, do you wonder how your face would look in your most unguarded moment, when you are not pretending? Does the word “pretending” startle you? But why?

Those Precious Moments

Do you remember the first hand that you held, the first smile you saw? Remember the moment you realized you felt beauty in your heart? I don’t think you can, that’s why childhood feels so special. We crave for the innocence and lost time…though the lost times were not always pleasant; most were precious. Those […]

The Call of the Wild

The unknown always beckons us…in our hearts, we are torn between the call of the wild, the adventure, but do we always respond? This needs courage, doesn’t it?

Secluded Life

At times, we wish for solitude, sometimes we live in ashes. We build buildings and roads; and build monuments from ashes. But do we ever wonder that even buildings, roads, highways, and monuments want some solitude. Our footsteps, growing exhalation in air, our rushing, creates life. But in an idle day, it seems even these […]
