Welcome to my new blog. It's just been so long since I last blogged that I've now decided that I need a totally new look for my blog. Hopefully, with the new blogging environment, I shall be inspired to blog more frequent and not dissapoint the people who come here everyday just to find that the blog is not updated. I promise all of you, friends and readers that i shall blog more frequently from now on. At least once every three days for a start. :)

I went for a trip to Mumbai a few weeks ago. It wasn't for a holiday or anything. It was for spiritual cleansing. It was to see my Moula again. It was to feel his presence and his strength. It was to listen to his words of wisdom and hope. It was to know that no matter what problems I have, Aqa Moula will be there for me. He will be there to put his hand on my shoulder. He will be there to tell me, "My child, don't worry, I am here". For ten days I was drawn away from the world to immerse myself in the world of imaan and deen. I was spiritually cleansed and rejuvenated with hope. Seeing Moula draw his strength from Imam-uz-zaman made us even more aware of how every mumin draws his or her strength from Aqa Moula. And more importantly, Aqa Moula reminded us that Imam Husain (AS) went to Kerbala and sacrificed his life so that we may be cleansed of our sins. Aqa Moula told us about what cruelties were inflicted upon Imam Husain and His Family. How the enemy killed his sons. How the enemy desecrated his Holy Body. How his three-year old daughter was left weeping and calling out for her dear father. All this Imam Husain did for us.

For salvation one must take hold of someone’s hand. “O mumineen! I am the hand of Imam uz Zaman! I am his gulam! I am the Dai of Husain!” Sobs filled the hall and amid the chorus of “Maula Maula!” we witnessed a sight that will be etched in our hearts forever as our Dai stretched out his own hand and said, “O mumineen, take my hand!”

NCDCC is a whole new experience for me and I am learning so much from it. When I was placed in charge of the CLTs, I was genuinely worried. I had no experience as a senior officer and I wondered how it would all turned out. I tried to learn as much as possible on the job and I'm still learning. And I'm happy to say that many of my CLTs give me much-needed support which makes my job all the more easier. They're just great. They're even willing to go the extra mile in helping me out in stuff. My dear CLTs, you're great.

ORD is coming soon. Can't wait. Not that I'm not enjoying NS. Its just that I want to move on and now that I know the time to move on is coming, I am more eager to move forward with the next phase of my life.

My darling's birthday passed 2 days ago. Happy birthday sweetheart. Love you.

Have fun guys. And don't play with fire :)
