A day with no electricity.

A day I never dreamed of, I never imagined of. A day people least expect in USA, a day without electricity.

Yesterday's thunder storm brought my life to a darkness. A day without laptop, without wifi, without AC in summer, without any light in bath room...Hmm total darkness around.

Very rare in any part of the world these days, a day passes with no electricity. Then how would the olden days be, when there was no term called electricity existing?

Candle light dinners every day...! Whole night passes in candle light..! They must had been sleeping very early, no wonder there was nothing to do in that dark. Well, they at least had sound sleep for hours.

What brought electricity in this world???
Not just the light to darkness, but sleepless nights to us. I personally sit in front of the notebook for long hours without sleeping. I watch some movie or some TV serial,or will do something since there is light. Thereby sleep very late and when waking up in the morning I blame myself for not sleeping early. The next day the same routine continues...I don't sleep early and I don't stop blaming.

Since there is light every corner of the world, restaurants has come with the term candle light dinner. Gave it a hype, made it a business trade mark.

I wonder where science and technology is leading us?? There used to be free candle light dinners when there was no power and now despite paying the power bill I'm paying for candle light dinner.

In my opinion, we might be creating complications than comforts with science and technology.

Dervish and the Money

A dervish was praying silently. A wealthy merchant, observing the dervish's devotion and sincerity, was deeply touched by him. The merchant offered the drevish a bag of gold. "I know you will use the money for God's sake. Please take it."

"Just a moment," the dervish replied. "I'm not sure if it is lawful for me to take your money. Are you a wealthy man? Do you have more money at home?"

"Oh yes. I have at least one thousand gold pieces at home," claimed the merchant proudly.

"Do you want a thousand gold pieces more?" asked the dervish.

"Why yes, of course. Every day I work hard to earn more money."

"And do you wish for yet a thousand gold pieces more beyond that?"

"Certainly. Every day I pray that I may earn more and more money."

The dervish pushed the bag of gold back to the merchant. "I am sorry, but I cannot take your gold," he said. "A wealthy man cannot take money from a beggar."

"How can you call yourself a wealthy man and me a beggar?" the merchant spluttered.

The dervish replied, "I am a wealthy man because I am content with whatever God sends me. You are a beggar, because no matter how much you possess, you are always dissatisfied, and always begging God for more."

In the Hands of God

One day, the caliph Omar met a group of people who were sitting around doing nothing. He asked them who they were. "We are of those who put their affairs in the hands of God, and we trust in God," they replied.

"Indeed you do not!" he retorted. "You are nothing but freeloaders, parasites upon other people's efforts! Someone who truly trusts in God first plants seed in the belly of this earth, then puts his affairs in the hand of God, the Sustainer."

Welcome Again

Thanks to blogger.com for restoring my blog again...! No one really complained when I've deleted this blog other than two people.

I didn't like to continue blogging,hence I stopped it for a while. On a moody day, I felt irritated with this blog and deleted it for almost 2 or 3 months...Just two people inquired of it...!

As of now, I'm not decided yet to write....but for few days I may keep the blog up (Just for those 2).

Would you prefer to Live for Ever?

I know its been a long time I didn't write any thing in here. Well,does it matter? No..! Then why I convey this stupid line all the time? Since I'm a sucker.
