Amroha - Land of Mangoes and Carps

It used to be mainly commercials that made us feel incomplete —  dangling something seemingly essential just beyond our reach. Now, in   addition to traditional ads,  social media  inundates us with  lifestyle   advertising  from our friends, who insidiously insist on showing off the good times, at all times. Of course, those good times may not actually  be as good as they look. A new short film called What's On Your Mind? illuminates some of the problems with being hyper-aware of what your friends are up to. Taking its name from the question at the heart of the status update field on Facebook, the film begins with a man comparing the forever-unfurling highlight reel on his computer screen to the comparatively drab confines of a night in with his girlfriend. Everything he sees devalues his reality, eventually driving him to just make some shit up in order to seem less lame—to himself, as well as to anyone who might be paying attention. He is validated in return, with a su

Life Sustains Life….. God makes a system like this Now days, I am reading Origin of Species written by Charles Darwin. I have just started it casually but as a student of life sciences I have develop much interest in his theory of evolution because of his sharp observations which we usually ignored. Although, I have not completed the book yet but I realized that it was written to express many hidden beliefs which were disclosed in the light of logic. It was written at the time when orthodox catholic system was in power and speaking about science was crime. I am not a critic but one thing we should keep in mind that you can give logic for any damn thing to prove your point. It is not always necessary that truth and logic follows the same path. I am not exaggerating or confusing the readers but my point is that whatever you are trying to prove with logic is not always correct especially in life sciences or simply in biology because biology is a science of exception. Here I am d

Why should i weep !!! Nothing in this world it seems Shatters like a broken dream, It is the ache before the mean Of shadows silent and unseen And in this fortress dream of sorrow, Exist no dawn and no tomorrow. Just hours that cut you as they pass Like little shards of broken glass And yet another then another, Maybe my nights are meant to suffer But look up now and see how far They’ve lit my way like little stars You see, I’ve been given a star to shine For every broken dream of mine, So in time my nights will turn to day And all my troubles can melt away.

Amroha is the land of mangoes and carps… it looks mysterious because we couldn’t understand the relation between mangoes and carps at first instance. Although Amroha is an ancient place and has rich history but its cultural revolution taken place in medieval times when Hazrat Syed Sharfuddin Shahwilayat (ra) reached Amroha. He came from Middle East (Iraq) and instructed (as per folks) that you should go to the place and reside there where you will find mangoes and carps (rohu fish). No doubt that he came across many towns and cities before reaching Amroha which surely have carps and mangoes because in north India you can find mango and rohu fish at almost every place from Lahore to Punjab to Amroha. Aam and rohu is very common to most of the towns if not all. So why he choose only Amroha to live?. Surely there might be some other reasons against this common belief to reside in Amroha but this is still a mystery and we will speculate it in future inshallah . Whatever is the reas

Protestant Liechtenstein recently held a conference on making banking shariah compatible , to attract capital from Muslim countries. And no doubt also because the big survivors of the 2008 crisis were China and Muslim countries ; China because the focus is not only growth but lifting the bottom up–increasing domestic demand and less dependence on trade in 1991-2004–Muslim countries because of Islamic banking. A common Western misunderstanding is that Islam forbids interest ; what is forbidden are relations that are only monetary ; they should be economic, social,  more human , in a broad sense .  Just to make money available against interest is out. Purely financial deals selling and buying financial objects–derivatives at any level–for commissions are also out. Banks and other companies have to be in it together. Islamic banking is pro-poor and discourage capitalism and economic instability. It also prohibits to remain wealth in few hands There is more to it. A b
