If you could pause real life and spend some time living with a family anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Village of Ottery St. Catchpole, At the ‘Burrow’! 😀
For those who don’t know what is this place I’m talking about. It’s Harry Potter’s Best friend’s house i.e. The house of Weasleys! I would simply love to spend a day there!
What makes a teacher great?
Sense of responsibility Is the only thing that makes a person, Teacher; and that too a great one! If a person have some sense of responsibility but not the ability to teach, the least he can do in the interest of students is either resign or at least try to teach in a better manner.
Tell us about something you think is terribly unfair — and explain how you would rectify it.

This post is quite a bit late than it actually should have been. I intended to write this post on my birthday i.e. on Friday 13th September (International Chocolate Day)
So, it might mean according to few that it was a supposed to be an unlucky day for me but it wasn’t. It was quite a good day for me actually. I went to the university dressed in my Eid clothes and was praised by many fellows! 😀 ( and honestly who doesn’t like to be praised). I received a very cute hand-made birthday card from my siblings, which made it even better for me.
My actual purpose of writing this post is to highlight a few important points about 13th no. and International Chocolate day (about which I found out this year only)
Friday the 13th is considered one of the most unluckiest days of the month, however, according to us Muslims Friday is one of the luckiest and holy day of the week. Also, odd numbers are given special regard in Islam. Fear of Friday the 13th is nothing but a type of phobia known as paraskevidekatriaphobia a concatenation of the Greek words Paraskeví (Παρασκευή, meaning “Friday”), and dekatreís (δεκατρείς, meaning “thirteen”) attached to phobía (φοβία, from phóbos, φόβος, meaning “fear”). In fact, 13 is considered by many to be a lucky number. 13 is considered to be a lucky number in Italy. Also. many successful sports figures have worn the number 13. Apart from it, American country-pop singer-songwriter Taylor Swift was born on December 13. She considers 13 her lucky number due to lucky events happening to her when the number appears (her first album going gold in 13 weeks, being seated at awards shows in the 13th seat, row or section). She also wears the number written on her hand at her concerts so she has it with her everywhere she goes. However on the other side 13 is considered an unlucky number by The famous author of today J.K Rowling made a reference to its bad luck charm as it’s written in third book of Harry Potter series “when thirteen dine together, the first to rise will be the first to die”. I guess it’s just a matter of believing what one wants to believe! 😀 But for chocolate lovers, I guess it would be an easy way to eat lots of chocolate on 13th of September without any good reason! 😉
I guess this is what my birthday cake this year should have looked like!
Grab the nearest book. Open it and go to the tenth word. Do a Google Image Search of the word. Write about what the image brings to mind
It was a fine big mansion in which a family of four lived happily, but it was very long ago! Years and years ago she would laugh and play with her brother, had fun with her family. Those were the times when she had someone around her, for her. But then, the lightning struck! she was no more with her parents, her brother. Though she came back, but now they were scared of her. When she would throw a ball to her brother, he would just run away, scared, rather than playing with her. On one cold night, they left the house. she tried to follow them out, but was unsuccessful.
Now, fifty years later, the big mansion over the way is still rumoured to be haunted by a ghost of a little girl, and there she is, alone in this merciless world!
What was your favorite plaything as a child? Do you see any connection between your life now, and your favorite childhood toy?
As a child, my favourite plaything was a small, bright yellow rocking chair. I always used to sit on that chair, and whenever my sister dared to sit on it, after my right little tantrum, she used to give me that chair! =)
The connection between my life now and my 2 year old self sitting on that chair is very prominent. I loved to sit idly then and I love to do so now! =D The only difference is that I didn’t have any disadvantage of sitting uselessly then, now however…
Also, I really liked to tease my sister then and take that chair from her, and I still do it sometimes, with the slight difference of those things being purple clothes, one ring or another or some other jewellery and she too is kind enough to always lend me some!! Love you my dear sis!! =D
The internet is full of rants. Help tip the balance: today, simply be thankful for something (or someone).
Photographers, artists, poets: show us THANKS.
I’m thankful to Almighty Allah for what I have or what I don’t have. Because what I have is for my own good and what I don’t have is for my betterment.
Sometimes, things may seem a little dark for a while but everything gets better in the end! Until a few days ago, I was filled up with a lot of negative energy believing that not every bad-doer is not punished in this world (Of course believing that they will be punished in the world hereafter) but now, not without reason, I firmly believe that they’ll reap what they sowed, in this world and in the world hereafter too!
What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?
Photographers, artists, poets: show us LUXURY.
As a student, I must confess that good teachers these days are very hard to come by, so they can be called a Luxury. hence, a good teacher is one luxury I can’t live without but yet I have to survive without!
P.S: Physics is a terrible subject!
As the title tells you.. I CAN’T WRITE! I’ve been trying struggling for quite some time now to write.. As I usually write about daily prompts, I thought I don’t need to think up an idea as to what should I write about. But alas! here we are! I can’t think of even a simple response to daily prompts. I check my blog on regular basis and find stats approaching to zero. Maybe my head is bit full of maths assignment at the moment, topped with statistics practicals and physics’ tension, but the thing is that this semester, I have to study English as a compulsory subject and our teacher asks us mostly to write! you see what the problem is, I CAN’T WRITE!
