Carrying God - Hafez

Carrying God
No one can keep us from carrying God
Wherever we go.
No one can rob His Name
From our heart as we try to relinquish our fears
And at last stand — Victorious.
We do not have to leave him in the mosque
Or church alone at night;
We do not have to be jealous of tales of saints
Or glorious masts, […]

Should Abdul Razzaq play in the next test match? A friendly debate…

Pakistan have won the first test match quite convincingly. The highlights were some great seam bowling from Umar Gul, Ashoka de Silva’s pathetic return to international umpiring, Lara’s resistance and Mohammad Yousuf’s knock.
We may have won the game by quite a big margin, but I was not convinced by overall strength of our bowling attack. Yes, Umar Gul and Shahid Nazir were marvelous. I hope they bowl like this throughout the series, but their supporting cast was shoddy.
Inzamam said Kaneria was unlucky not to have gotten more wickets, but I didn’t think he was very incisive. Even so, I know he is a match-winner and would definitely want him to play the next few tests. Said Inzy about Kaneria….
“He bowled very well and I think he was desperately unlucky. He picked up important wickets in the first innings and in the second he was very good, just not very lucky.” [...]

An answer to news channel critics

Indopak talk

Now this is Rajdeep Sardesai’s turn to speak on the issue of Ram Jethmalani’s decision to defend Manu Sharma in the connection with Jessica Lal murder case.

He is completely aware about the hue-n-cry over the issue in Indian Blogsphere as he writes that the matter appeared to have set off such an avalanche of comment in the blogosphere.

Rajdeep has chosen the sensitive issue to justify the often-criticized media role in this case. He writes under the title In the name of Ram as

What is distressing is the manner in which he chose to heap abuse on the media, while suggesting that an ignorant media, and pesky 24 hour news channels in particular, had no business to be “interfering” in the judicial process.

Jethmalani is not alone. In recent times, more and more highly influential Indians have discovered a new “enemy”: the 24-hour news channel. Everybody hates television news (ah, so superficial, so tabloid, so clichetic!) yet nobody seems to be able to stop watching television news. From edit page writers to self-appointed television critics, from top politicians to film and sporting celebrities, for a majority of them, the news channel is soft target practice.

Its ok Mr. Rajdeep, you and your organization is doing better but please don’t provide shelter to others, who often do wrongs…

Love All and Hate None - Muinuddin Chishti

Ajmer continues to enchant me…these lines from the last discourse of Khwaja Mu’inuddin Chishti  manifest the poignancy of Sufi ways (tareeqat).
“Love all and hate none.
Mere talk of peace will avail you naught.
Mere talk of God and religion will not take you far.
Bring out all the latent powers of your being
and reveal the full magnificence of […]
