O'TanoKey, its my blog's life. 30 January


I was at the store and the man infront of me ordered a body hair removing cream for women. The shopkeeper wraped the cream in a small paper bag and placed it in the transparent plastic bag that contained other things.

Couldn't he just place it in the plastic bag without that paper bag. I don't know why he did what he did. But alot of people here in Pakistan act similarly when dealing with things concerning women sexuality. Most of them are from the lower class, lower middle class and the middle class.

Why?

Are they ashamed of being human. Are they ashamed of being a women. This shame is not good. This is extremism. Being ashamed of carrying things of legitimate needs is not and should not be considered an item of shame or insult.

God created us this way and we should be thankful for it.

I would like to thank God for every thing.

I was watching this darama on TV in which a man has to marry the sister of his brother in law because if he refused, his sister would have been sent back home with a divorce. A very common scenario in the sub continent. And to make matters worst, the poor guy was in love with some one else.

I like some one too. Would like to marry her. But after watching this darama, I started thinking. Its God's blessing that It did not put me in a similar situation. What would have I done. Even the thought of it gives me goose-bumps. I like her alot and I thank God for giving her to me in the way It did.

This makes me think of things or situations we take for granted. Any thing can happen to anyone, anytime. Its Allah that prevents our lives from turning into a complete chaos.

Allah I am way too scared to try to say anything further in this post. All I want to say is thanks and please watch over me and over the rest of the world.

We do need you and thanks for being their for us.

Stanford University wants it's lectures, speeches, debates and other stuff to be available to the public for free. Now this is a very good step and will help in improving the life style of an average person. But I can't understand why they choosed Apple Computer's iTunes as a medium. What about those people who either don't have iTunes or can't/don't want to use iTunes?

I am sure that the intentions are good but I think they should have not restricted the files only to iTunes downloaders.

I do remember reading about an app that could be used as an alternative to iTunes. Just can't remember its name. Will search it later and post it here.

People I just saw the International Space Station. It was great. I have been waiting for this for about two weeks and today I saw the ISS cruise the skies above my city.

Wow. Though I couldn't see it's design but I still enjoyed watching it.

The scientist in me was jumping like a little boy. Yelling and pointing towards it. For me it was Superman or Startrek. It was just simply beautiful. Like a moon on a romantic evening on the side of a lake. Yah just like that.

You have no idea how much I wanted to be on that thing. The International Space Station. Make it my home for a month or may be two. Even a day would be something that I would never forget.

I am so happy.

I read that some scientists have found out that Revenge is 'more satisfying for men'. They also found out that men should have a predominant role in maintaining justice and issuing punishment.

I know that some women would not welcome this. They would argue that men and women are equal and can perform every task to the same effect.

I think that rather than fighting we should accept what we are. If you read the article you will see that this is something that is in our psyche. It can not be changed. Everthing in this world has its place. I think that men and women should accept theirs.

According to Quran men are not king or gaurdians of women. Women are free but are not equal or above men. This is how we have been made. Try to fight nature and your life will turn into battle ground.
