Inauguration

Now I don’t have a fan list of my Blog so I will have to tell what’s happening. I started blogging from Blogspot, it was rather boring so I wanted to have my own domain name and to host a site of my own where I can put what I want. I never posted after February 2006 because I had papers and I was looking forward to my own site instead of the Blogspot experience so that’s why you are seeing new entry after months.

I am amused to see my last entry, “Mambo Rocks”, I spent hours to choose a CMS for my self, I liked Mambo, then decided to go with Joomla but these CMS are way to complicated, when I was able to set things up, I was not able to get the look which I wanted so my search for CMS continued, I have yet to test around 4 more but I can’t wait for my blog till that long because I feel I need to say a few things around on blog, if I don’t I will burst up, ok now that was exaggeration but still…

So my blog is officially “inaugurated” today. There are still a few things which I want to customize so it will take sometime but won’t be visible to you :p. Using “Word Press” as my Blog software, it is basically Blog software but I will call it CMS because it has got features and options which can make it a complete CMS, if you think I am joking just comment and I can point you to sites who are using “Word Press” as their only solution and you won’t even know if its a CMS or Word Press, so if I don’t get what I want from CMS, I will stick to Word Press for all what I want, I am pretty sure every thing I want is there in Word Press then why use something complicated.

I think if I continue today, I am going to write perhaps 4 entries in a row. LOL. I should stop now, lots of things to customize. Feel free to comment =P & tell me how the theme is. If you want me to have your Blog or Site on my Blog then use “Contact me” or leave a comment. You have to tell your Blog/Site, I see it, if it’s good enough I will add but you have to add mine too.

Mambo rocks

Ok. Mambo is set up on my domain. But it’s currently offline :p. I will be working on it sometime during this month. The default skin is OK kinda so I have to change it…

Pakistan is playing well today…Indians played well too but well, it’s supposed to be a batting pitch? or the batsmen are rocking?

Muharram 1427 &…

Again comes the month of sadness…I think I had my Board papers in the first days of Muharram last year so I was not able to attend the Majlises properly and participate in the activities. I have got exams this time as well but they are school exams, not much to worry about, perhaps I should worry but anyways, will do deal with them in a good way insha’Allah. Why do some students think they own the school? Seriously, why do they?

This new guy coming from Karachi gets admission in our school. We had Physics Laboratory period today, we go to Lab and perform experiments. Today’s experiment was very interesting so I wanted to perform it my self too and note down. So all of a sudden the Lab Assistant point outs a “Key” and says it’s nuts and the “KEY” is missing. Our teacher was angry about it with the students and took a few names, who are usually always making trouble in the class, so they were shouting with teacher about it. Meanwhile I was able to setup the whole apparatus but was not able to perform the experiment but a few points were not clear to me and I tried to have attention of our teacher but he was busy with the #$(*#($ students…Then the missing parts of the “KEY” were recovered from the trash bin, the teacher was even more angry about it with the students and according to the students, who think this school is their property shouted back at teacher and said you insulted us all!!!

Anyways…The Karachi guy was blamed for it in the end by a few who saw him do it. He innocently replied at that time that he has not done it and then in the class he announced to a few of his NEW friends that he had done that indeed just for “SHUGHUL”, “JUST FOR FUN!”…Hell, they made me miss my whole experiment. I don’t think I will go easy with such #$*(#$* again……

So today at school. A fat sunni fella was calling a cast in Sunnis “KAFIR” because they say “Ya Rasool Allah (saw)”, which is like calling the Holy Prophet (saw) for help…I just laughed out to hear that from him. He was pointing to the sky and saying we should only ask for help from Allah. I was not in a mood to argue with him about it and let him know we think the same and it’s not bad or something. We use our Prophet (saw) and his family as say a reference, as waseela in front of Allah, whose family is the most dear to Allah…

And with Muharram, I am hearing same things which I heard in start of Ramadhan, people wouls stop listening to songs. Men would grow beard for whole month, perhaps 10 days only! and around us, women specially sew black dresses for Muharram each year, not just black clothes but other things too. Like they get new shoes too, :-|…I just don’t know why do they do it? Wearing black is fine but why should they have new set of clothes each year esp. made for Muharram and they think they make the new clothes old by wearing it only once before Muharram for a day’s time :-|

Only Allah knows…May Allah give guidance to us Shias in every thing we are lacking……Just pray I don’t get into arguement with some “Hard THINKING Shia” at village…

Domain name

*sigh* No time again! Anyways, I sent a money order and have registered a domain name for my self which is http://www.thepatri0t.net/ It’s not with “O” but “ZERO” (0). I will be setting up every thing there, including a nice blog…

Change of plans for it as well. I am not gonna host it with 5GIGS. Reason is I am getting even a better host than 5GIGS. It’s all for free and what am I given? You don’t want to hear that ;-) cause it’s just cool and perhaps if you want to get a paid service like it, you would have to pay lots and lots of money in Pakistan & the Pakistani Hosting Companies can only dream about giving such packages for free ;)

Thanks to Syed Mohsin Naqi (http://www.gfxcanvas.com/), hehe, I did not ask him but I go to know about the free web hosting giving service which he is also using. He’s using the same package too ;).

Thanks to Admin of that site as well. It’s very kind of him. He replies each and every e-mail I send in so much detail. Finally, did I say my exams are starting from 13th next month? Oh yeah they are gonna start, so keep me in your prayers. February 14th, 2006 is coming…Valentine’s Day, I don’t usually like to celebrate this day :-|, I would have a few years ago but not Valentine’s just to celebrate friendship anniversary with a friend, nothing such as Valentine’s day. I am happy though, that it’s Muharram this time and hopefully, most of the Shia brothers and sisters would refrain from celebrating it!!!

Life

So I was busy with studies etc. in past week or so and that’s why I could not post any entry in my blog. After hearing about a few deaths, of people who were laughing and cheering in morning, while dead just after a few hours…I am thinking what is life…and why people live it bad. I mean life is not something which lasts forever, like its mortal. No human is certain of him self, that what’s gonna happen to him the next minute. Who is sure about it? Who can predict it? No one can…

True, we can make plans, we decide we will do this and that on particular day or date but we never know when death would take us and we won’t be able to do any thing about it, I mean who can escape death? Every one has to die, now or the next minute, today or tomorrow, or after a week or a year…no one can escape death.

We, humans, know all this, we do know all this very very well and yet we do bad things. Ok, let’s forget about every thing else. Just think about hurting people. The person who hurts, does he not know or does he never realize that the next moment he can be dead? Then why do they keep doing the same thing? What on earth do they get?

I am not afraid of death. Let it come whenever it want to come. Good or not, I will face it. Perhaps it’s better than living in this world, but then fighting in this world is better than escaping it. But I am not escaping, perhaps I am. Dunno!

BTW. How will you know if I die?

To do in a few days :

• Try to setup a proper time table for studies
• Register a domain name, most probably, thepatri0tonline.com
• Setup Live Domain service on it and setup a blog system which will be hosted free by 5gigs Hosting service
