<h4>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">We, as
people live in a society, we can’t help
but feel the pressure from society. Societal pressure also deals with the
microscopic details of our lives. We notice our
loved ones trying to dress a certain way or demanding for a specific
device. They want what everybody else has. The idea of dressing a certain way or
a demand for a certain object wasn’t from their imagination, it is something
they picked up TV or from someone at school and that now becomes
a defining thing for them like ‘ THE WAY TO DRESS’ or ‘THE GADGET TO HAVE’.</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> Little kids now wanting to have a phone, right? Why do you need a phone? My
friends have, why cant I?</span><span style="line-height: 115%;">As we grow
older, societal pressure take different forms. You see your co-worker at the
office parking lot driving a nicer car than you and you go like ‘Man, I need to
get ahead. Look at what these guys are driving’. What do we gain by comparing
us with other? This is societal pressure, whether it is in form of dressing, or
where you put your money or in career.</span><br /><span style="line-height: 115%;">Our parents
are also victims of societal pressure, ‘ Our neighbor <o:p></o:p></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">is a doctor,
you better be one’. The interest of the child goes unnoticed. At times we
believe that it make life simple. All it does is make life hard. We all seen
wedding at our places, lavish, over the top, unnecessary expenses. Well, your
cousin had a big fat wedding, you must too. A simple nikah at the masjid? No
way, we have to show face in society in the long run. What will people say?
Credit card debt goes unnoticed by all.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span><span style="background: white; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-language: AR-BH;">What we must do is…</span><span style="background: white; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> Get in shape for your kids.
Not for yourself, for your kids. Play with them. You need to be better friend
to them than anyone else. Because wallahi this society offers lots of evil
friends. It does. And before they make those kinds of friends, they need to
find their best friend in you. It’s not the way we did things back home; back
home, you weren’t friends with your dad. Your dad came home & you sat
straight. Your dad spoke & you stood up & responded. There was a
relationship of respect and it was a <o:p></o:p></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 115%;">distant relationship.
You don’t chill with your dad, right? You don’t do that. Here you have to do
that; you have to do that. Not just you should, you have to.</span><span style="background: white; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.4666652679443px;">For the Muslims out there:</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 115%;"> Allah just wants to lighten your burden. Allah
wants to take the load off of you; that’s what the deen is supposed to be &
you’ll find people that are enslaved to their culture, they are enslaved to
their societal pressure; when they talk about Islam, they say Islam is tough, Islam
is too strict, that’s exactly what these people say; the Islam is too strict
& what’s funny is, if they followed even small principles of the deen,
their lives would be a lot easier.</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">When
Allah talks about these trend followers, He did mention that here’s a trend we
should follow. </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 115%;">Follow the way of
Ibraheem and </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">you
know what that way of Ibraheem is, right? He </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">didn’t
follow anybody else. Everybody is worshiping idols. I'm not. </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 115%;">He’s gonna go the way
that Allah wants them to go. That’s the trend to follow.</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span><span style="background: white; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> May Allah make us understand His book the way
it should be understood. May Allah protect our children from falling into the
tide of cultural forces & pressures. May Allah make us of those who
understand His book, love His book & implement His book in our lives. May
Allah open the doors of its wisdom & the wisdom of the Sunnah of His
messenger (SAW) to all of us.</span><span style="background: white; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span><span style="background: white; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span><span style="background: white; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">(This is a summary of a Lecture By Nouman Ali Khan which I could relate a lot to and hopefully you too)</span></span></h4>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Life is a wonderful thing. Yet another year, we're here , alive and kicking, with every heart beat and oxygen we breathe in, a spark in us, left to be lighted that can cause fireworks. There is no trouble without a way out. Life is like a puzzle whose key and panacea we've yet to acquire. The hope that one day life will be problem free, with perfect bed hair, flawless skin, no hustle to pick an outfit, no disease to combat, loved ones assuring their love and loyalty, laughter and peace in the air. This can happen any day, you don't need to be put off for the perfect time. Create and discover that perfect time, moment, and place. Not by changing yourself for the worst but for the best. We need to remodify, restyle, refashion, reshape and remould ourselves to be quintessential in every manner. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">At the end it does not matter how many paychecks you obtain but it does matter how much you relinquish, spread your love and forever stay as a frolicsome spirit.</span><br />

There was indeed a lot of sad and happy moments for each one of us. Some very unexpected and dreadful events that are impossible to overlook. Something blue, I created and is now my very own stress reliever. 2014 is also my graduation year. I can't even believe how 2014 has gone by, so smoothly yet with so much blow. Writing this blog, boosted my confidence and made me believe that ' it is ok to be me'.<br />
Now that my High School is over. My life has taken a new turn. For better or for worse, in sickness or health, I will be me, no matter what. I believe there are millions to bring you down, but you are the only one responsible to pull yourself down. So 2015, here I come..<br />
<br />
To envisage how the year has blew is next to impossible. When you lose someone, its all that you want back because it is then you realize how much that person mattered to you. Taking two different directions and ending in circumstances where you need your 'significant other' in other words ' your bestie', but life has done us apart. What we didn't realize it, then was that, this was a smaller version of how it was going to be in the future. What we did was, a little bit of catching up in each other's lives and promising to be there in important stages in our lives. It was then I perceived the truth that, there can be no one to replace her, she was meant to be my best friend. I love you MY NANU..<br />
Like typical besties, we even have are very own code words and inside meanings.<br />
Personal Question Please, nanu?<br />
<br />
Along this journey of my life, I came in contact with a girl of my age. Like an ordinary teenager just like me, going through her teen years, she was too facing issues of her own. She had major issues of accepting who she really is. She is not aware of how beautiful she really is, both inside and out. With an extraordinary personality, rare to find and an amazing head full of ideas and plots. You have a drama or a skit to be done, then she's your girl. She is a good friend of mine with secrets and high school gossips shared, I am going to miss you laulau.<br />
<br />
With happy moments stored and sad moments forgotten, I bid you farewell, 2014...Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10182347619229748956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2561426968761138768.post-87938905740874418552014-12-03T20:31:00.002-08:002015-01-01T01:56:06.843-08:00Debate- How strict and authoritative parents pave the way to a child's bright future.. A throwback to the debate competition I participated.<br />
<h3>
<br />Goodmorning Dear Sisters, Teachers and Friends.</h3>

<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
I, Fanar Mohamed, stands against the notion 'strict and authoritative parents pave the way towards a bright future'.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<b style="font-size: small;"><br /></b></div>
<h4>
<b>Call off the rescue! You can't protect your kid from every hard knock life hands out!</b></h4>
<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Parents get too overprotective and this overwhelms the child to step out of the comfort zone and face the real world laid out for them.<br />
Parents might be looking out for you , from the experience they gained over the years, but its child's battle to fight and to survive. We are a kid to every obstacle we face, curiosity has us chained even when we know the result.<br />
When you ask a four year old , not to do something..<br />
They do not obey... If you reason out with him, curiosity strikes him and he ends up doing...you have no blame game to play here. A mistake that he did is a lesson he gained for a lifetime. We are the same. We need to do to do our mistakes. We are not robots. We are merely human beings. Humans make mistakes . And the smartest of all, learns from those mistakes. Those mistakes might lead us to success. We can always aim for the moon even if it lands on the stars. Risks make us stronger emotionally and physically.<br />
Parents need to learn, once and for all, life can be tough either way, you help us or not.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Liberal parents make a child, independent and prepares them to face the evil world, awaiting them.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The pain engraved in your heart can either break you or make you. Use it as a motive to fuel your</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
way to success. It's there for a reason. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Mohammed Zeyara</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
With every day that passes by. You realise who will be there and who won't..</div>
<div dir="ltr">
The very *so called friends* , you considered your entire life, are those very ones, that stab you with a sharp blade, over and over again, you do nothing but accept who they really are even if your heart is now in pieces...<br />
Why write all this, Fanar?<br />
Time is money, money is precious, only an idiot wastes precious<i><b> </b></i>time and of course, we all are pretty<i><b> </b></i>selfish, I will not even try sugar coating them. To listen to someone, even if he/she was about to die, you wouldn't listen to them unless the matter is concerning you. Writing gives me a platform to vent out many bottled up, messed up emotions. It helps me clear out and I turn void of thoughts, allowing new thoughts to flow in. Like a train of thoughts revolving in my mind. One after the other. Just like a fizzy drink or a soda, it turns into a clear liquid when you pull off the lid, helping all those gases gain their freedom. Its just what writing does to me, only it gets better!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I hope you guys can sink your teeth in to what I'm saying... Don't bite too much.. <br />
Life is all about improving yourselves. Not just genetically, but morally and spiritually.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
And With who are you trying to play your sick, twisted games with?</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Do not laugh at someone's misery, Karma will find you and bite you. Not too much I hope. Also do not judge a person without knowing what situation he/she was forced into. You do not know what he/she's going through. So stop it! Sadly I learned this the harder way.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Calling her a *insert a foul name here* , Is it? Who ever gave you the right to? What should I call you , a bully? Or A big fat bully.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Stop trying to act like a flock of sheep. Try acting different once in a while. Or try being the shepherd. A better choice isn't it?<br />
A person who supports a crime or criminal is a criminal himself.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I remind myself all of this a million times, before you.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Thank you</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Stay Happy :D</div>

I am a person, passionate about fruits, from the juicy mangoes to the ripe grapes, I love them all.<br />
Beautiful, plump, ruby cherries covered in sweet chocolate tasted ambrosial. Honestly speaking, I kept admiring it. As soon as it entering my mouth, my taste buds were dancing in slow music and I had myself fallen on my knees. I was in love with it and I had myself looking for varieties and I came across Chocolate covered strawberries. They were sun ripened, dipped and swirled with white, milk and dark chocolate.<br />
<br />
I am totally in love with you, Dean and Deluca.<br />

Have you let slip how it is to be humane?<br />
Are you under the impression of gaining pride from all?<br />
Call to mind how it is to be humane<br />
Forever Savage,<br />
Forever recalled by all<br />
Do you not recollect what feelings and emotions are<br />
Actions make away with millions<br />
While your gun does away with a few<br />
To believe you are one of us<br />
Is tough enough to not call you an animal<br />
Does pleasure proceed the bloody flesh and bones?<br />
Knock down every single thing<br />
Hope will continue to exist<br />
Is it too strenuous to turn human again?<br />
And live together as brothers on the very same land<br />
As one, in peace and harmony<br />
With the end of this warfare,<br />
Brothers are bound to reunite<br />
Mothers with the Little ones will sing sing praises of joy<br />
A promise sent from heaven above<br />
A rainbow will appear<br />
A toddler awaits for it<br />
Bravery, Empathy, togetherness, courage, will power and fortitude will prevail<br />
Until the very end.<br />
<br />
<br />
#9. Do Pray<br />
Everyday<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
STAY HAPPY : D<br />

<span style="background-color: #073763; color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My eyes sparkle, my hands reach my mouth, legs lose control and walk on their own. Oh no, its not like I saw a cute little kitten there. Its just a pair of boots. You don't need that Fanar, lets go home , your mom is waiting for you. Its just a pair of boots, an angle grazing heel, beautiful, incroyable, as blue as the sky on those afternoons that seem ages ago with my baby brother. Its a Jerome Dreyfuss, he has us saluting with his royal blue style.</span></div>

Well, if you haven't yet understood then, hey there genius, I'm a Shopaholic. A major one at that. Its not like I go shopping every day, its just that I can't resist or breathe when I find some breathtaking, heart-stopping, spectacular creations,like the boots. My mum finds herself chanting to the lines of buy necessaries and so on. Like come one girls, y'all have a closet full of clothes and yet no dress to impress. Say tata to outfit stress, say yes to a new dress.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
When reality dawns on you</div>
<div>
The bills haunt you</div>
<div>
Every penny spent</div>
<div>
Is it every penny worth?</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
To buy what you love is not wrong, its your notes and coins but is it really worth the stress after you slide your gold card. The credit card bill would never seem to stop and would rise over mountains and oceans as they take the proverb 'the sky is not the limit' way too seriously. From the age of six, for me, the bank was god, the credit card issuer was the angel and the credit card, a magic card, just a swipe and all yours. Reality check honey, Life isn't fair.</div>

The card is a rattrap</div>

Don't fall into the trap</div>

<div>
This is not the typical type of post from me. This is a kind of post where I write about what I feel of certain things that I hope many of y'all can sink your teeth into and relate.<br />
<br />
To start with, Ramadan is going good, even though it is fifteen hours of fasting which I am not used to. Fifteen hours isn't a big deal as I thought it would be and everything has a first. So until now, its going great.</div>
<div>
<br />
<div>
I am just void of emotions.For me, today, is such a day where emotions have drained out of my body and I feel nothing. There is so much to write about which is strange and I am going to blend in everything!<br />
Sometimes its really difficult to express feelings and you never know when someone hides theirs. We have all, heard or seen pictures relating to, a tear behind a smile or something similar.A smile does not mean everything is flawless, it is just based on politeness or a trust on the Almighty.<br />

We, humans tend to idolize many 'so called perfect' people. They might be a celebrity or a normal girl/boy standing right beside you, having his/her own problems to take care of. We forget they are humans, just like us, completely like us. For them, it gets so overwhelming, daunting and unendurable at the same time. Its said that 'think before you speak' but lets rephrase it a little bit and call it 'think before you act'.I feel looking up to a person and idolizing them are two completely different terms. There are those 'attention seekers' who find pleasure in these kind of situations.Its not about them but those who regret being so perfect.</div>

Can't wait to travel back to my home country and make some sweet and fun filled memories. Eager is an understatement. The memories are going to beautiful this year. I feel like the plans made, are all overwhelming but Life is spontaneous , so they might be more adventures attached, you never know !</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Emotions are taking a roller coaster ride. The eagerness, excitement cannot be cooled down with the ants in my pants. Everyday, from day one, is not going to run out of steam. The excitement is due to the freedom and liveliness, back there, is so different from the emotions that I feel here. I'm like a wallflower in school, while a completely different person with my family and close friends. The summer, is when I can be myself and make some real friends out there. Worrying has always been my favorite of all , so I think just stepping out of my comfort zone might actually be an amazing experience.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"> Ramadan in Kuwait as long as I can remember has been quite eventful!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> The best part of Ramadan for me, is <b><i>Girgian</i></b>. It is a traditional Arab culture wherein sweets are packed in beautiful baskets or glassware and sent away by companies,organisations and individuals, it is also done by dropping sweets,coins and currency notes from balconies while the children spread their little pouches, singing to old traditional <b><i>Girgian</i></b> songs, they go from houses to houses. It is the mid-Ramadan tradition which is celebrated from the 13th to the 15th night of Ramadan. The tradition clothing is also worn by woman and children.This is not just restricted to the Kuwaitis, I assure you that every kid residing in Kuwait will receive a packet of <i style="font-weight: bold;">Girgian </i>.<i style="font-weight: bold;"> Girgian </i>parties are also organised by organisations. For me, this has always been a bag of happiness. Like every other kid, I would be so eager to open the gifts and just gobble up all the candies. This gives opportunities for kids to get together and understand the real meaning of brotherhood, peace and harmony.</span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"> </span><br />

People seek a new lifestyle, new environment, new traditions and customs, basically a new way of living. The public chattering, stench of sweat and smoke, also fascinates everyone with its lights and luxuries, the early morning coffee you get when you slide into the sleek car and drive in through the drive thru. This is basically the everyday life for a city dweller.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Crowds, cars, skyscrapers is all you see. Crime happenings is all you hear and infected air from the industry wastes is all you smell. Noise can be very unpleasant. Traffic can be a nightmare, it can even make a person swim in the world of profanities. Pollution is a sad reality that everyone faces in big cities. Despite every action taken to reduce pollution, it still prevails in big cities. Every decision or step we take is thought over a million times due to the crime as there is every chance for you being a victim of some sort of crime.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The mindset of people living in the villages is that people instantly become famous, showering in gold,diamonds and what not. Life isn't easy anywhere, challenges are everywhere.Good things happen when you get your priorities straight! : D</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
#3. Don't get involved too much into your fast paced metropolitan city life..... At end of the day your moral values matter! : D<br />

<br />
Wishes are fulfilled<br />
Happiness is spread<br />
Hope is restored<br />
Smiles are widened<br />
Respect is earned<br />
Prayers are longer<br />
Charity is an obligation<br />
Smoking, Drinking is a prohibition<br />
A month of peace<br />
A month of unity<br />
A month of integrity<br />
A month of glee<br />
Rewards are in abundance<br />
Heaven is unlatched<br />
Hell is barred<br />
<br />
<br />

Writing her first blog<br />
From the land of hot sand, nude pearls<br />
Born as a little princess,<br />
Definitely not the prettiest,<br />
Definitely one in a million<br />
With her partners in crime<br />
Unpacking the world's mysteries<br />
Awaiting victories<br />
Healing minor injuries<br />
Through the path of hurdles<br />
And pointed rocks<br />
A guider,counselor , adviser for all<br />
In search of a guider, counselor and adviser<br />
Sharing a part of her life to you<br />
a happy ending to the day she spends<br />
Grown into a teen<br />
Gladly accepting what life is offering her<br />
With a Smile..<br />
<br />
