redemption. It is all there in the streets. It is all there in the books.”

“In a public dialogue with Salman in London he [Edward Said] had once described the Palestinian plight

It's brilliant, you can't ever get bored of London cos even if you live here for like a hundred and fifty
years you still won't ever know everything about it. There's always something new. Like, you're walking

it as you wish. An agreeable place to dine; a cosmopolitan village tucked away behind Piccadilly with its

sordid nursery of crime in Europe. Even the travel journalists, obsessed by its ambiguities, can't make up
their minds.”

them out again, in forms unrecognizable and undreamt.
London, the monster city.”

“Live your life in any way, London says. It encourages defiance. I loved what it gave me, who it allowed
me to be. On the nights I could afford a minicab home, I rolled down the window while crossing the river
and watched the lights on the water, knowing most late-night minicabbers were reaffirming their love of
London with the same view. I loved its messiness, its attempts at order. I loved the anonymity it
afforded;”

tangents, known as tangent-and-radial trussing. This design allows the bridge to support itself. It’s all
pretty genius — but would we expect anything less in a town that’s home to some of the smartest people in
the world?
The River Cam runs through the famous university town of Cambridge, known as much for its renowned
scholars as it is for its picturesque scenery along the water. As such, Cambridge, despite its small size, still
boasts 23 bridges, many of which have unique stories attached to them. While the Bridge of Sighs, named
after the one in Venice, is perhaps Cambridge’s most famous, the Mathematical Bridge might be the most
legendary.

Ramadan
Is like a rare flower
That blossoms once a year
And just as you begin to smell its fragrance
It disappears for another year
Make the most of it now
While you still have the chance
For the harvesting season is here
And it won’t last
The last 10 days
Have approached so fast
And as the days wizz past
How do our deeds fare
Put your heart in action
And your limbs in gear
Multiply your deeds
So your rewards be dear
- Anonymous
RAMADAN is like a rare flower that blossoms once a year . . . and just as you begin to smell its

through seeking forgiveness.Deeds of good, never too many to have.Attempt to find and utilize the
Night of Power in the odd nights of the last 10.N ever return to the sins you have turned your back on
in this month.
O Ramadan, be gentle,
the tears of the believers pour forth,
and their hearts are anxious from the pain of separation.
And why shouldn’t the tears flow from the believers
upon the parting (of Ramadan) whilst he knows not
whether he shall live to see its return!

before you, that you may attain salvation.
HOT RAMADHAN NIGHT (Lost Paradise of Dilmun): “Like all duties in Submission,
fasting was decreed through Abraham.” – Qur’an, 2:183-187
(22:78).
Prior to revelation of the Quran, sexual intercourse was prohibited throughout the
fasting period. This rule is modified in 2:187 to allow intercourse during the nights
of Ramadan.
[2:184] Specific days (are designated for fasting); if one is ill or traveling, an equal
number of other days may be substituted. Those who can fast, but with great
difficulty, may substitute feeding one poor person for each day of breaking the fast.
If one volunteers (more righteous works), it is better. But fasting is the best for
you, if you only knew.
[2:185] Ramadan is the month during which the Quran was revealed, providing
guidance for the people, clear teachings, and the statute book. Those of you who
witness this month shall fast therein.
Those who are ill or traveling may substitute the same number of other days. GOD
wishes for you convenience, not hardship, that you may fulfill your obligations, and
to glorify GOD for guiding you, and to express your appreciation.
RAMADHAN KAREEM: “When My servants ask you about Me, I am always near. I
answer their prayers when they pray to Me. The people shall respond to Me and
believe in Me, in order to be guided.” – Qur’an, 2:186
[2:187] Permitted for you is sexual intercourse with your wives during the nights of
fasting. They are the keepers of your secrets, and you are the keepers of their
secrets.
GOD knew that you used to betray your souls, and He has redeemed you, and has
pardoned you. Henceforth, you may have intercourse with them, seeking what GOD
has permitted for you.
HOT RAMADHAN NIGHT (Lost Paradise of Dilmun): “You may eat and drink until
the white thread of light becomes distinguishable from the dark thread of night at
dawn. Then, you shall fast until sunset.” – Qur’an, 2:187
Sexual intercourse is prohibited if you decide to retreat to the Masjid (during the
last ten days of Ramadan). These are GOD's laws; you shall not transgress
them.
GOD thus clarifies His revelations for the people, that they may attain salvation.
RAMADHAN KAREEM: “Permitted for you is sexual intercourse with your wives
during the nights of fasting. They are the keepers of your secrets, and you are the
keepers of their secrets.” – “Qur’an, 2:87

angels come down bringing with them proclamations of the coming year.

Women want men, careers, money, children, friends, luxury, comfort, independence,
freedom, respect, love, and three dollar pantyhose that won't run.
Phyllis Diller
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement
rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard,
think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with
open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word to
let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my
symphony.
William Ellery Channing quotes
We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we

Suppliers and especially manufacturers have market power because they have information
about a product or a service that the customer does not and cannot have, and does not

Peter Drucker quotes
I think the idea of mixing luxury and mass-market fashion is very modern - wearing head-

Be grateful for the clouds that sometimes cover the sun; they, too, have a reason to be there. When
they move, the sun shines once more.
Look beyond the storms. Look beyond the dark clouds. Be like an eagle and fly. See how high you can
soar and cross oceans beyond all storms.
When you pray, let your prayers be forms of gratitude. Let your prayers be an ocean of love. You do not
have to beg Me to give you My Kingdom. I will hear you before you even call.
Give of what you desire to have more of it in your life. You desire to have love, give love away. You
desire greater prosperity, share your wealth. Let your gratitude be felt everywhere. Let the words you
speak be “thank you’s” for what you are and all that you have.
Challenges are doors to change. Do not be afraid of change. If a caterpillar were afraid of change, it
would never turn into a butterfly.
Sometime you may not understand why this must be traveled, why things must go this or that way. But
then when you trust the One Power in the Universe, you begin to discover the blessings in disguise.
A problem is an indication that change is occurring. That change is a door to progress; and progress
means moving toward betterment.
Accept the challenges in your life with serenity, with peace, knowing that it will be a change for the best,
though you may not see it at the moment. Like the seeds planted on the ground, your good is about to
come forth.
There are people in your life you have to allow to move on. Bless them and thank them for having
touched your life. There are those who may have hurt you, but then you have grown from your
experiences with them. You have grown in your capacity to understand, forgive, and love.
Choose to move in the right direction and all things will begin to unfold accordingly. Everything in your
life comes from a choice.
Choose to be a loving a person and you will be surrounded by people who care for you genuinely, who
are concerned and make you feel that your presence matters. They will all appear with your choice that
this is a friendly, loving Universe where success is offered to you on a silver platter, where every
opportunity matches your talents.
This is a friendly and loving Universe. Choose to have it all.

Allow others to live their lives as they allow you to live yours. For each one, including you, is traveling in
his own path and seeing his own horizon.
You make life better for others by desiring for them the good that you desire for yourself. As they
prosper, so do you beyond your ardent desires. For within you lies the whole Power of the Universe.
Make friends with everything in your life. Make friends with your fears; resist them not. Ask what those
fears are trying to let you know. Make friends with your problems for they, too, are bringing you a
blessing. Oftentimes you resist, condemn, a nd evencurse them. The message then gets lost and so the
blessing in disguise remains a disguise.

mind!” – Barbra Streisand

WINTER 2016: Late nights, Bonfire, Barbecue, Black coffee,Hoodies
Then if you go
Ill understand
Leave me just enough love
To hold in my hand
If you go away
As I know you must
There'll be nothing left
In this world to trust
Just an empty room

Full of empty space
Like the empty look
I see on your face
After you go, I can catch up on my reading

After you go, I'll have lot more time for sleeping
And when you're gone, it looks like thing's gonna be lot easier
Life will be a breeze you know
I really should be glad. – Michael Johnson
Chorus:
But I'm bluer than blue
Sadder than sad

Used to be a knight in shining armour

Didn't have to own a shiny car
Dignity and courage were the measure of a man
Not the drugs he needs to hide the scar.
Used to be the hero of the ballgame

Took the time to shake the loser's hand
Used to be that failure only meant you didn't try
In a world where people gave a damn.

“Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” – Roald Dahl
I am here to tell you that the magic you once believed in is true, and it’s the disillusioned adult
perspective of life that is false. The magic of life is real – and it’s as real as you are.
Gratitude is portable – you take it with you wherever you go, and then wherever you go, the
magic happens!
“Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even
what he has will be taken from him.”
“Whoever has gratitude will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not
have gratitude, even what he has will be taken from him.”
“Whoever has gratitude (for money) will be given more, and he will have an abundance.
Whoever does not have gratitude (for money), even what he has will be taken from him.”
If you are grateful you will be given more, and you will have an abundance.
“No matter who you are, no matter where you are, no matter what your current circumstances,
the magic of gratitude will change your entire life.”
When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength.
Give thanks for your food and the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault
lies with yourself”. – Tecumseh

Desiderata (Latin: "desired things") is a 1927 prose poem by American writer Max Ehrmann.
Max Ehrmann
Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,

and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;

it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,

gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,

no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,

whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,

it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
Max Ehrmann, Desiderata, Copyright 1952.

If I could live in a cabaret, I would. If I could live in 'Moulin Rouge,' I would. Rita Ora
Usually I like playing other people. I like finding myself through other characters. But when you do
cabaret, you are yourself. I think it's the most fun, and I tell you, if somebody had told me that, I
would have done it fifteen years earlier than I did. Faith Prince

“I know I'm really lucky to do what I do, but sometimes with the hours and the travelling, I don't get to

If I could reach you

You know I would
Miles away
You're so many miles away from me
And I can't find you
All those miles (away)
If I could hold time

In the palm of my hand
I'd not let it through
I'd save it for you
If I had one wish

At my command
I'd want it to be
You wishing for me
Keys that jingle in your pocket, words that jangle in your head
When did summer go so quickly
As the images unwind, like the circles that you find in

The windmills of your mind!
I had missed you

Why does someone go so quickly
I need you so much. – Madlene Kane

Health, wealth, love and success have to be balance. One’s spirituality depends on how balanced these
areas are. How can one enjoy his wealth when most of the time he is sick? A truly spiritual person is a
happy, healthy, wealthy, successful and a loving one. If theirs is one missing, there is a problem with
one’s spiritual nature.

It's not how long we held each other's hand

What matters is how well we loved each other
It's not how far we travelled on our way
Of what we found to say
It's not the spring you see, but all the shades of green
It's not how long I held you in my arms

What matters is how sweet the years together
It's not how many summertimes we had to give to fall
The early morning smiles we tearfully recall
What matters most is that we loved at all.
It's not how many summertimes we had to give to fall

The early morning smiles we tearfully recall

Valentine’s Days.
Please remember that Valentine’s Day is a polite reminder that Christmas decorations must go down!

“I was a child, oh, about three or four; All day I'd ask questions; At night I'd ask more; But whenever; she
never, would ever, turn me away; I'd say, Grandma what is love? Will I ever find out? I wanna know the

Then she started to speak. . . HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” – Dianne Reeves

what I want always take so long? Please tell me where does God live. And why won't He talk to me? I wanna
know the answers before I fall off to sleep. Slowly she rocked, lookin' half asleep. She yawned as she

night; You gotta make it through the night, yes you do.” - Dianne Reeves

Silver gray hair neatly combed in place.

There were four generations of love on her face.
She was so wise, no surprise passed her eyes
She'd seen it all.
I was a child, oh, about three or four.
All day I'd ask questions.
At night I'd ask more.
But whenever; she never, would ever, turn me away.
I'd say how can I be sure what is right or wrong?
And why does what I want always take so long?
Please tell me where does God live
And why won't He talk to me?
I'd say, Grandma what is love?
Will I ever find out?
Why are we so poor, what is life about?
I wanna know the answers before I fall off to sleep.
Slowly she rocked, lookin' half asleep.
Grandma yawned as she stretched.
Then she started to speak.
What she told me, would mold me, and hold me
Together inside.
She said all the things you ask
You will know someday.
But you have got to live in a patient way.
God put us here by fate
And by fate that means better days.
She said, child we are all moons in the dark of night.
Ain't no morning gonna come 'til the time is right.
Can't get to better days lest you make it through the night.
You gotta make it through the night, yes you do.
Later that year at

The turn of spring
Heaven sent angels down
And gave Grandma her wings
Now, she's flyin'
And slidin', and glidin'
In better days
And although
I'm all grown up
I still get confused
I stumble through the dark
Getting bumped and bruised
When night gets in my way
I could still hear
My Grandma say
I can hear her say
