It is now the third day of 2006, there'll be another 362 days of the year for us to go through, InsyaAllah.

I ushered in the new year grappling with an issue of love and relationship; over the most-widely used communication of the 21st century (SMS), my friend and me fought over the right to love silently, the right to long for love, and the right to leave love be.

It makes me sad that LOVE, the universal bond between all inhabitants of this earth, is now a cause for discontentment between us. The effect of the argument is dramtically embellished by the ushering of the New Year, that was to happen about 24 hours from the time the argument began.

There is definite friction, yet there is clearly affection; strangely, and this has been said and noted several times before by other people, it is love, it is affection, it is care that can lead to friction.

There is a way to come to an amicable solution; God promised us that.

Perhaps in time it will prevail, as love always prevail. Always.

How I Became A Multi-Millionaire

THIS ARTICLE FIRST APPEARED IN FREESPACE IN THE SUN Who wants to be a millionaire? (Err... do I look like a millionaire here?) Ahh, I see about 25 million hands up here, so I tell you now the story of how I became a millionaire, a few times over at that. The first rule of becoming a millionaire is believing that you can indeed be a millionaire; that it is not the domain of those with millionaire lineage or with a self-owned business. After all, I have lived and read enough to see millionaire families ending up as paupers, and businessmen working hard and merely earning enough to keep the minimum credit card payments fulfilled. By the way, that rule also means that coming from a millionaire family and hard work at a self-owned business is one of many ways to become a millionare. This must be made clear, lest I offend the millionaire families and the hard-working self-made millionaire. The second rule is believing in luck, which is how yours truly became a millionaire. I'm new at thi...

HIStoryCALFUTURE

Of late, I often catch myself thinking about the future. What is in store for me? But ponder as I might, I'm always brought back to one point. Me. I have not just had this epiphany that I am the master of my life and my destiny. Far from it. I've always known that one's lot in life is in one's control. I've always believed with conviction that all the good and bad that happen in your life is due to you. My perspective is not seminal; I look at negatives (failures, et cetera) as opportunities to start anew. They are wonderful vantage points from where you can initiate a responsible, truthful and realistic post mortem, from which you can pick up pointers. Similarly I look at positives (successes, et cetera (I've recently come into the habit of spelling etc. in full... go figure!) as opportunities for more of the same. They also offer the same vantage point from where we can make greater strides and inroads towards whatever it is we were striving for. But the trut...
