Lets Summarize some events :~)

Hi guppies :~)

Thanks God!!! eventually I got some hours in my pocket to share some thoughts and some pictures with you guyz :~)

First of all! Honestly I Got no time these days to take pangas at GS :teary1: I know you guppies must be very happy about my disappearance :hoonh: especially my prime victims of criticism and nastiness .. *wink neways I miss you guys a lot *hugs

hmmm sometimes it become so difficult to catch up with friends :~( I wish if I could squeeze my days upto 48 hours .. to hang out with the lovely population of GS ;~)

Hmmm! its been soo long, I haven’t posted anything at GS .. so before you guys wipe me out of your elfin brains .. I think I should post some of my recent work .. to keep my self alive at GS and in your memories :~) the following pictures were taken during my recent trip to the Holy mosques of Makkah & Madinah :~)

Guyz this time I wasn’t alone .. acting like a driver I was escorting my mother, big brother and sister-in-law to these holy places for Umrah :~) (lagta hey meri beybey hazoor mujhey Musalmaan bana kar hi chorain gi *D ) spend a long time in KSA and being a Haaji my brother and sister-in-law were not new to these place.. whereas it was a first attempt of my mother to embrace the ritual of glorifying Allah in the Holy Mosque of Kabbah in unison with all other Muslims coming from every deep ravine of this world :~)

Obviously! she was a bit nervous :~) and so was I .. hmmm .. as a matter of fact I never felt myself comfortable in the premises of the Holy city of Makkah even after the countless Umrahs I’ve already performed .. God knows! when I enter my self in “Ihram” .. (which is marked by an all-consuming intention of the heart to fulfill all the rites of pilgrimage) I feel like someone has encumbered my head with the heavy weight of my known and unknown sins .. so once the “Ihram” is onn .. my mind slips out of my control .. making me feel like someone has taken the full control over my mind , dreams, desires and being .. a spasm of weakness grabs me with the hands strong enough to resist .. and I see my strength draining out of my body thru the pores of my skin .. as it was never mine .. as it was just a loan given to me for the things I was never able to accomplish by the book! .. my self disappears and I turn into a delicate piece of white paper which has nothing expect a complete record of my ungrateful history .. written in bullet points with a bold typeface in black! .. After loosing my control and strength, I feel like my feet are laden enough that I have to struggle pushing them one by one in order to move my body from one place to another .. moreover a carefully recorded movie starts playing in my mind .. showing me all those distant moments passed in my life when I was busy hurting people with my cruel reactions .. and repugnance behavior .. :frowning:

pheww!!! To cut a long story short! I would say .. whenever I travel to Makkah .. I always find my self standing in front of a weird mirror that illustrates only the worst part of my self to me .. which is sufficient to shiver me down to my roots .. especially during the “tawaf” of Holy Kabbah .. I see my self going into a state of restlessness .. my tongue gets stiffed within the jaws and makes it so hard for me to recite the verses of Holy Quran .. which might gain me the forgiveness of Allah the Merciful .. feeling completely helpless tears find their way out of my eyes .. and starts rolling down soaking my face .. and making me feel a bit lighter and calmed .. but!! by the time I complete the rituals of Umrah .. I feel my self absolutely drained and dehydrated .. than only a chilled glass of Holy water (zamzam) can do the magic of revitalizing my strength & willingness even better than before :~) and I never forget to pray for another visit before leaving the Holy city of Makkah :~)

Unlike Makkah .. Madinah always appears to be a calm and peaceful place to me .. It never gets onto my nerves .. in fact it cools me down with a promising sense of forgiveness and leniency .. My mother also fell in love with the city of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) .. she wasn’t willing to leave the calmness & peacefulness of Madinah .. I never saw her soo happy in my whole life :~) and that’s make me happy too :~)

I took some pictures in Madinah and on our way back to Riyadh .. but I wasn’t able to take any picture in Makkah .. actually in Ramadan Makkah is almost crowded like the occasion of Hajj .. even we have to park our vehicles outside Makkah in the parking lot dedicated for Hajj.. so while leaving my car at the Hajj parking I forgot to take my camera along with me :~(

Neways lets get to the pictures :~)

Guppio lying sleepless in the bed of our Hotel in Madinah .. I thought of you guys :~) and decided to take some pictures :~)

By the Time we reach Madinah .. My car was totally coverd with dust and sand :~( since theres no Autowash in Madinah .. I took it to a gas station for a wash .. :~)

Kaun keh raha tha ke main nahata nahi hoon :hoonh: .. dekho main to apni gari ko bhi sabun laga kar pabandi se nehlata hoon ;~) or isko dekho kitni be-sharam hey .. mere saamney hi naha rahi thi :blush:
