Rania Khan finding solace in Afriza's arms...  2 more days and my li'l Ms Rania Khan would turn to be two months old! We thank The Almighty for bestowing us with the presence of this angel who has made us realise that there are so many things that we could still learn in raising a child, the challenges are plenty but the rewards are countless. Contrary to many beliefs, we are the parents that decided from the earliest beginning, that our child is our universe and not anyone else's. Simply because we have seen so many people posting on their social media that their child could do this and do that, but do we have rainbows shooting out our rears? I guess not and we did not want to be the same kind of parents, thus our album of Rania is only shared with close family and friends that would actually be interested in seeing her. And our family gatherings does not have the conversation starters of what amazing feat that Rania did but rather a moment of discovery when they r...

"But dad, why do you need to travel hundreds of miles when the person who passed away has already been buried?", that's how one of my arguments with my dad was when he insisted on visiting a family of an acquaintance that passed away. "When someone leaves the world, he breaks all binds with the world that he has, but before the moment of burial, our presence is the way to show honour and respect to the person who has departed, and if that is not possible, visiting the family is to offer condolences during the difficult time and our mere presence in times of bereavement would mean a world to them", my dad explained while I, as always just scoffed away in disbelieve. Mayor Giulianni during 9/11 Tragedy It was years ago when I read about Rudy Giulianni, the ex-Mayor of New York who was in office during the 9/11 tragedy. Thousands lives, including hundreds of NYPD and FDNY were lost, and Mayor Giulianni ensured that he visited each family of the servicemen t...

I had the chance to catch up with a girlfriend of mine last week for coffee. As we were catching up on things, she spoke of her recent encounter with a guy whom she had a crush for a long time. She knew this guy for sometime thru a mutual acquaintance and felt for him, for reasons that are not obvious to any of us. But heck, who am I to judge another person’s feelings right? She has been constantly making it obvious that she likes him, it was just short of putting up a banner on her forehead to tell this douche, but it was obvious to us that he was taking her for a ride! You see, it is usually hard for guys to judge if a girl likes him, women are born with the ability to conceal their feelings and not let it be shown as the nature states that if the guy knows, he will take it for granted. But for a girl to know if a man likes her, it is so darn easy, more so with him wagging his tail asking for attention every other time! Calls would come in, offers for a date, showers of gifts a...

I am writing with utter resentment on the journey that we have had so far... Me and wifey got married on October 2010... The blissful marriage granted upon us by The Almighty is the best gift He could ever bestow upon me, so much so that I regret for not getting married earlier on... As for challenges in life, we had a fair share of disappointments especially in our pursuit of having a child, I am sharing this today as we have both became an advocate for couples who aspire to be parents but are being told by God above, "you have to wait"... Yes it is painful, the disappointments and wiping it off to stand courageous for your partner and comforting her, when in solitude, you feel the misery itself... It does not help when we attend family functions and every single soul on earth would be questioning my wife on why is she not pregnant yet? So much so, that she began thinking of functions as an excruciating affair of answering while smiling and yet, feeling the pain deep dow...

It's been a month plus that I have been riding on my brand new SYM and needless to say, the experience is exhilarating. Feeling the wind on my body and swaying on the open road has so far been something that I never experienced whilst driving and it did feel pretty awkward in the beginning. As time passes by and adapting to slightly hazardous environment of cars changing lanes without indicators or other bikers just dominating the open road, I tend to realise that sometimes we do take risk that is not calculated. As for me, I'm not vying for the title of the King of Open Road but would like to advise fellow bikers to always be safe and keep an eye out for other drivers and riders who are least bothered about their safety and of other road users! Ride safe and if we happen to have to our cruise on the open road, just wave and mutual respect shall be accorded to one and all! Khan Sent via Nexus BlackBerry® by Maxis

A  gladiator  ("swordsman", from the word gladius which means "sword") was an armed combatant who entertained audiences in the Roman Empire in violent confrontations with other gladiators, wild animals, and condemned criminals. Some gladiators were volunteers who risked their legal and social standing and their lives by appearing in the arena. Most were despised as slaves, schooled under harsh conditions, socially marginalized, and segregated even in death. Irrespective of their origin, gladiators offered audiences an example of Rome's martial ethics and, in fighting or dying well, they could inspire admiration and popular acclaim. They were celebrated in high and low art, and their value as entertainers was commemorated in precious and commonplace objects throughout the Roman world. Bravery, courage, honor and strength were among the words that describe this warriors. They were the respected men of the arena, feared for their abilities, respected for the...
