Society and Us

Are we at liberty to decide what is best for our selves and our family, should we take religion as our guide or does society always has to take over?
Why is it so that we decide that we don’t want to marry our daughters young and it seems all the world is turning against us? We are constantly advised to become more social, to keep contact with good families.
May I ask what a good family is? A “Mota Murga”( a rich guy)? Is money the solution to all the issues? I think not.
What is a suitable marriageable age? -as per the Pakistani society today, the preferable marriageable age for girls is 17 years onwards and the moment they turn 25 they seem to be considered to be old, too old. Modern science says that the development of the human brain goes on till 25 years of age, this girl who is getting married at 17, is she mature enough, perhaps looks wise yes but mentally she is a child and you want her to reproduce!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am asked how on the earth could you allow your daughter to shift out of your house, to stay in an apartment alone away from you, don’t you feel odd, what will the people say, well people aren’t you saying and does that effect me? No, not at all! She has to stay in her own company provided apartment as commuting from our home to her office is a highly tedious task, she needs to stay at close proximity to her office, and then aren’t we always in touch, there is something called phone. I trust her but why is this so difficult for people to understand?
People, it is time to grow up! Trust your family and have firm belief in your upbringing and leave the rest to Allah!
He never lets us down.

Me and My Life!

After a long absence I am back. Life will always be busy but then I need to take a few moments out for myself and my little accomplishments which though insignificant for the rest of the world are very important to me.

Life has been good to me, after every few days my frustrations and grumbling become pointless as Allah showers me with His blessings. One of those accomplishments being the graduation of daughter dearest! Although daughter dear is still gearing up for further education my happiness all the same is not abridged.

All is really well that ends well, and this is actually ending well, Sonny boy gets into the “Uni in Malaysia” I thank the Lord but my happiness all the same needs to be expressed. Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!
I know I will miss him a lot when he goes away, who will I keep shouting on, then that is another story!

The last but not the least in the family is busy like a bee, why? Well she is making something that will only be revealed on the 21st of this month, what’s that? A Mother’s day Card what else. I really love getting these cards she makes them really well and she has a mountain of patience to be able to make such detailed stuff with the minimal art supplies let alone anything specialized.

At home grounds hubby dear is always busy and I try my level best to help him with his work but many a time I fall short, this only proves that I am not a super mum but a good one never the less! I am confident about that!

At school scenario I am happy with the creativity I am able to express with my bulletin boards. This has had two effects on my life, pleasure to have achieved many certificates of appreciation and on the other hand more work to be done. So now another deadline has been given, redecorate the boards!!!!!!

Somehow work satisfaction is one thing I don’t have here, I am teaching but the teaching is sub-standard. The school wants parents to be happy and their happiness is only maximum marks for their children so no problem **** the standard, teach only that which can be absorbed, give easy tests and make everyone happy but then how do we answer our self, don’t we have a conscience, I have and I am not happy! Can my working harder than ever let me get out of this guilt, I hope and wish it does.

So till the next boards are decorated and I get another chance to write,
C ya!
