WHY WEAR THE HIJAB?

It's a known fact the Muslim women are stipulated by religion to wear the hijab. On why Allah, or rather, Prophet Muhammad issued this injunction is not known to many. Well, first of all, let's see what Muslim women are allowed by Islam to expose and the restriction varies from the intensity of Islamic radicalism and fanaticism. In some countries, only the face, hands and the feet of Muslim women are allowed to be seen by public. Yet some cover their faces and the whole body by a garb known as burqa, seen in Afghanistan women. In some Taliban ruled places, not wearing the hijab is punishable by death. Still, there are Pakistani and Arabic...

QUITTING SMOKING SUCKS

I have been struggling for YEARS to quit smoking. Somehow, there is ALWAYS an excuse as to why it is ok for me to light up. It's a night out, I'm wasted, it's a holiday, I am super stressed. The list goes on and on. Well, I am sick of this shit! I quit heroin and cocaine, but I can't kick cigarettes? I am done. I don't want cancer, I am tired of feeling the pain in my lungs when I run my 3miles a day, and I do NOT want to smoke something that doesn't even get me buzzed! The past few days my teeth have been clenched. My jaw so tight that it is actually sore. Now that I got sick with a cough (which gets REALLY bad since I almost died of pneumonia...

HASDIC ORTHODOX JEWISH CULTISTS = CHRISTIAN CULTISTS

DISCLAIMER:: I haven't had the pleasure of living next to radical Muslims.....but something tells me I wouldn't live to tell the tale :P Before you get your panties in a bunch, I was married to a Jewish man and was with him for 7 years. One of my best friends is a Jew in an eye patch! I have been to Passover dinners, and have never thought of Jewish people as anything other than good people who believe in a faith I do not. This ain't about faith; it's about crazy CULTISTS. However, Hasidic Orthodox Jewish peeps are a TOTALLY different story. I live in an area densely populated by Orthodox people. They  dress like pilgrim/Amish people....

HUMAN DEVOLUTION

We are human beings. We like to claim that we are evolved past all species on the planet. We brag and gloat over that fact. Yet, everywhere I look, I see apes. Apes do not think before they do things. I have seen a Monkey eat a turd straight out of his posterior. He did not seem to enjoy it, yet he did it. Why? The monkey was void of logic or reason. He is the lesser species. I watch human beings do things such stupid acts DAILY. I watch people cheat on their mates and literally almost die of shock that there are repercussions to the said actions. Families broken, dreams shattered, and they question "why?". I see women talk shit about someone...

CAN YOU REBUILD TRUST?

We have all heard the sayings... “I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche “You think I'm a fool?" demanded Harry."No, I think you're like James," said Lupin, "who would have regarded it as the height of dishonor to mistrust his friends.” ― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows "Trust takes years to build...and seconds to destroy" "Trust is like a broken vase...you can glue it back together, but it will never be the same." "Nothing hurts more than being disappointed by the one person you never thought would never hurt you." “I'm not upset that you lied...

TEENS' ATTENTION SEEKING BEHAVIOR ON FACEBOOK

I am noticing an alarming amount of Indian teens looking to their Facebook pages for acceptance and fandom and all of it comes off as attention seeking as well as plainly stupid. But, for such kids, this is swag yo! From posting countless "self taken" pics, to their tags, and weird, protracted names like LovelyGurl Shamia, ImmaHotKambethuPonnuShalni, SwagPaiyanSharan, HemaSquirrelPantz, etc (end of MY thinking capacity and only the beginning of their thinking capacity), owntage, and writing wrong English, this has became a Facebook phenomenon. Now, let me analyse this phenomenon step by step. First, the selfies. I did not own a phone...

BLACK VS WHITE: RACIAL DIVIDE IN HOLLYWOOD

When Halle Berry and Denzel Washington won the best-acting Oscar categories and Sidney Poitier was honored with a lifetime achievement award in 2002, the night was a watershed for black actors in Hollywood. Since then, the debate about Hollywood diversity among the African American community has continued to ebb and flow, but one fact remains constant - nearly all black actors are still only being recognized by the Academy Awards for playing specifically black characters in film. Four movies from 2013 have served to animate that conversation during Hollywood's awards season: "12 Years A Slave," "Lee Daniels' The Butler," "Fruitvale...

THEISTS: ATHEISTS, YOU NEED TO RESPECT GOD

I have always seen theists demand respect and space from atheists should a contention or a Facebook post regarding theism crop up. I don't know why theists make it a point to ascertain atheists respect religions when they defile atheism in a flagrant fashion. I assume maybe that God is so weak, he needs his worshipers to support him. Else, the celestial heavens will crumble. The only way to make sense out of this is putting forth the fact that theists have an emotional attachment with god and religion. Keyword: LOVE. In relation with that, let's correlate that theists give god parental status. After all, in Hinduism, there is a line that...

WHAT DOES 'I LOVE YOU' REALLY MEAN IN MARRIAGE

There was a group of women gathered at a seminar on how to live in a loving relationship with your husband. The women were asked, 'How many of you love your husbands?' All the women raised their hands. Then they were asked, 'When was the last time you told your husband you loved him?' Some women answered today, some yesterday, some didn't remember.. The women were then told to take their cell phones and send the following text to their respective husband: I love you, sweetheart. Then the women were told to exchange phones and read the responding text messages. Here are some of the replies from the women's respective husbands: 1....

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TEACHER AND GURU

I know that a Teacher is different from a Guru, but never knew that they are different in so many ways. I know "All Gurus are Teachers; But all teachers are not Gurus". If you get not only a Guru but also a "Satguru", you are the most blessed one. A teacher takes responsibility of your growth A Guru makes you responsible for your growth. A teacher gives you things you do not have and require A Guru takes away things you have and do not require. A teacher answers your questions A Guru questions your answer A teacher helps you get out of the maze A Guru destroys your maze A teacher requires obedience...

THE CURIOUS CASE OF 'INDIAN HEAD SHAKING'

This is a satire. You can take an Indian out of India but not India out of an Indian and what sets Indians apart is our distinct 'head shaking' that boggles non Indians. My Chemistry teacher, Mrs Chan (pseudonym) is a Chinese and whenever she asks us, her of Indian descent students, questions, especially me, I'd shake my head so Indian-ish, she doesn't understand whether I understood her question or not. And, I sometimes, I understand her question and sometimes I don't and when I don't, I shake my head in every direction that it makes my poor teacher dizzy. Nonetheless, by some miracle, I passed in my Chemistry subject thanks to the Indian...

INVENTIONS INDIANS MADE THAT CHANGED THE WORLD

Indian inventions and discoveries have been instrumental in shaping the face of the current modern world. Here are 20 such interesting findings out of a whole bunch that will make you go, “I didn’t know that”. 1. Buttons Buttons were first used in Mohenjo-daro for ornamental purpose rather than for fastening. They were first used in the Indus Valley Civilization by 2000 BCE. 2. Chess Chess developed out of Chaturanga, which is an ancient strategy board game developed during the Gupta Empire in India around the 6th century AD. Now you know why Vishwanathan Anand is such a pro, rag rag me is tarah… ;) 3. Prefabricated home and movable...

GOD'S ABUNDANCE IN HUNTING SEASON

It’s January and for most of us, hunting season is over. This is a great time of year to reflect back over our season. Would you describe your season as a success or as a failure? Did you get what you went hunting for or did you sit in a tree stand ignored by all the creatures? Now, let’s take the opportunity to use your hunting season as a example of a great lesson in human relationships. As we have seen over past weeks, we are all created with a God-given need to be loved. Our Abba Father has given us this Zoe life, which brings with it His unconditional love. That need of ours to be loved has been met! So, what will dictate my behavior...

ISLAM FORBIDS MEN FROM WEARING SILK AND GOLD - HADITH

A Muslim consumer group said that the wearing of pure silk cloths is forbidden among Muslim men. It is not only forbidden but is also a sign of Islam’s apocalypse, a prophetic revelation on the end of days. The Muslim group said many Muslims here are unaware of this fact, which it said is enshrined in several hadiths, also known as the collection of words and deeds of the Prophet Muhammad. “Prophet Muhammad has said that Muslim men cannot wear silk and gold. “Hadiths also state that one of the signs of the apocalypse is when pure silk is being worn, and that there is no awareness about this,” the group's president stressed. The...

AMERICA: THE RACIST COUNTRY

Miss America was crowned and I was happy to see someone who wasn't your cookie cutter Ohio blonde become Miss America.  Everyone is up in arms because she is of Indian Heritage. They claim she needs to go back to India because this is MISS AMERICA. Wtf? The broad from that show "The Talk" admits to having plastic surgery to look less Chinese, and everyone jumps on her ass for not embracing her heritage. Anyone else see the double standard here? What the eff is wrong with America? I was just home in the Midwest and I went out to grab some food and a few drinks. I heard people say "C*ngo" and "nigg*r" MULTIPLE times to describe the...

HOW NOT TO DEAL WITH HOMOSEXUALS

I'm all out for LGBT rights. They are humans like any so called 'straight' people and they deserve human rights and to live life like they want. I have been approached by lesbians and I deal with them no different then how I deal with guys who try to chat me up. It all depends on how I am approached. If I get whistled at and have my physique described aloud in a tacky way, I will give anyone, either hetero or homo what I think of them as a person, not their sexuality. And, what's up with heteros calling ourselves 'straight'? Perhaps it's a way to 'glorify' ourselves that we are not freaks of nature. But, homosexuality is not nature's...
