limiting the friends circle

[Chameli420]

@sadzzz

how many of you limit yourselves to certain types of friends?

ever since i left uni, or lets say got married, other than work colleagues (who i dont see outside of work), i dont have much of a friends circle.. actually zilch. The two awesomest friends i had, have moved… so it’s pretty sad where i am

the desi circle that i once associated with, is not worth association so i’ve isolated myself from that too… but weekends are soo hard. Weekends reek of housework and cooking.. not so pleasant

so, ive decided, stuff the whole religious side of making friends… the ones i know who proclaim to be muslims.. only give me a headache and wanna make me pull my hair..

ive met so many nice mothers, educated ones… at munchkins kinder.. we get along really well… a nice punjabi/sikh lady.. another a pakistani.. they are awesome

after meeting the sikh lady, i wondered, do we really limit ourselves to making friends from just one religion? why do we do this? if its so our kids grow up with the right morals? why cant they get the right morals from people of other faiths? khair.. the whole moral thing is something a parent should be responsbile for.. if we give our kids the right attitude.. they will love their faith and love people of the other faith with the same respect…

so hence… i think im gonna venture out… i miss interaction with other people.. with other cultures… sigh

i think im gonna have a dinner party

I am going trough exact same issues these days. The Muslim friends I have now preach abour high morals but when it really matters they are the first ones to run away and show selfishness!I am just so fed up with that behaviour and have been thinking that I should get to know non-Muslims at my age and have a good time with them. it would also be a good away of informing about my deen by my actions and not preaching…

I dont have kids yet so getting in touch with other mothers isnt possible at this stage and the ladies at my work are in their 50ies - much older than me…any suggestions on where to start?
