Laughter is the best medicine … (well, it is a true one …)

During younger days my wife used to suffer from severe Migraine headaches. When we went to Hajj she prayed that during the Hajj trip Allah may kindly ensure that she will not suffer from any headaches.

By the grace of Allah her prayers were accepted and the Hajj trip passed in the best of health. She mastered all challenges without any problems at all.

When returning home, later on, she was telling this story to her mother (who was staying with us during the later part of her life). When suffering from Migraine again the mother told the daughter:

” You silly girl, when you were in Hajj why did you only pray for relieve from this suffering for the period of Hajj? Why did you not pray for life-long relieve?”

Ah yes, the wisdom of the mothers! May Allah grant her the best possible place in paradise !

  2. In Canada they say never trust 3 www I.e work,women, weather, and I like to add another world,worldwide and worldwideweb.

  3. I heard a word yellow Journalism from a guest on A TV .The honourable guest described yellow for Pakistani journalism who invite 3-5 politicians together.These politicians fight and talk , laugh together but they are not progressive and take U turns easily.They stay there from where they started.Media Azaad Hay(media is free) is a must watch on U tube.

    My daughters born here say that that mom we are not white but yellow. They say pure whites shades are original French Germans,British and Norwegians…….?I say then white journalism can be pure white like French Vanilla or divine like Philadelphia cream cheese or BBC white lies.White lies can be small lies in English or total lies in Urdu.

    There is a black Journalism that shows slavery and indiscrimination and oppression of blacks.This black Journalism is very Productive at the end with patience and hard work.King Martin Luther ,Muhammad Ali,President Barak Hussain Obama of USA,Oprah Winfery and ahmedi Molans Azher Haneef Sahib(respectable).They stand in front of Pharaoh like Kings and either win or sacrifice their lives to live forever.They are bold,black,brave and come in different shades.They have different origins like late Ameer Jamaat Ghana moulana Abdul Wahaab Sahib(respected).My daughters tell and read about them.They tell me about black basket ball and women white,black basket ball players.The women basket ball or net ball that we have played was slow not like zoom fast in Canada or USA.Pakastani black Jounalism is pitch dark,dead night,opressed and some times brave like President Musharaf.My father is his fan and likes him too much.I saw he has his book “In the line of Fire”He was a brave bold ,truthful and trustworthy Chief of Army staff

    JOHN F. KENNEDY
    JFK: A New Generation (4 min) TV-PG
    John F. Kennedy’s progressive agenda during the 1960s inspired a new generation of optimism in America.

    http://www.history.com/topics/us-presidents/john-f-kennedy/videos
    Elected in 1960 as the 35th president of the United States, 43-year-old John F. Kennedy became the youngest man and the first Roman Catholic to hold that office. He was born into one of America’s wealthiest families and parlayed an elite education and a reputation as a military hero into a successful run for Congress in 1946 and for the Senate in 1952. As president, Kennedy confronted mounting Cold War tensions in Cuba, Vietnam and elsewhere. He also led a renewed drive for public service and eventually provided federal support for the growing civil rights movement. His assassination on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, sent shockwaves around the world and turned the all-too-human Kennedy into a larger-than-life heroic figure. To this day, historians continue to rank him among the best-loved presidents in American history.
