Folks: This rhyme is totally insane! LOL ROFL hehehehehehehe I woke up -- just now! So you'd imagine..... Here we go: Prince of the Hearts Devils' plots Safe space Extraterrestrials? Nope. Nope. It's you in the maze! ;-)

Don't act like you didn't know

Catch-22, catch-22.

This 1888 painting by William Holmes Sullivan is named Et tu Brute and is located in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.

 

Et tu, Brute? (pronounced [ɛt ˈtuː ˈbruːtɛ]) is a Latin phrase literally meaning "and you, Brutus?" or "also you, Brutus?", often translated as "You as well, Brutus?", "You too, Brutus?", or "Even you, Brutus?". The quote appears in Act 3 Scene 1 of William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar,[1] where it is spoken by the Roman dictator Julius Caesar, at the moment of his assassination, to his friend Marcus Junius Brutus, upon recognizing him as one of the assassins.

The phrase "the unkindest cut of all" refers to the most heartless, demoralizing, or treacherous action, remark, or outcome possible. It originates from William Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar," where Antony describes the wound given to Caesar by his close friend Brutus as the "most unkindest cut of all

Be wary of Brutus (Plural: Brutus-es!) amongst us!

Nonalignment is the state or policy of being nonaligned.

Nonaligned countries did not support or were in no way linked to groups of countries headed by the United States or the former Soviet Union.

If someone has pacifist views, they believe that war and violence are always wrong.

A pacifist is someone who believes that violence is wrong and refuses to take part in wars.

Vocab break, folks: Pacifism is the belief that war and violence are always wrong.

Vashikaran Specialists -- Satanism and Secret Societies

I think there're some terribly deviant people who voluntarily let the demon(s) possess 'em -- or (involuntarily) coerce unsuspecting victims into submission -- i.e. make the devil(s) possess 'em -- These people must be acting solo or belong to some satanic cult(s): spawning ground for satanists. They worship the devil.

These self-proclaimed / self-professed Vashikaran Specialists are so ubiquitous . . .. 

Hypothetical scenario: Just imagine a gung-ho and paganized human bot being controlled by a handler -- who's zillions of miles away -- Goosebumps -- Chills -- Hair-raising  righto?  Think of such bots in other domains as well -- For instance: Finance, Defense and so on. I think we need psychic interceptors to thwart such attacks. Sci-fi movies stuff -- yeah?

Mind control: Developed nations spend zillions of dollars for Research and development (R&D). But here in our Incredible India: Vashikaran Specialist(s) patiently sit under a banyan tree with their parakeets -- chewing betel leaves -- and smoking hashish -- quietly waiting for their next patron.

That's all for now, folks. Go back to folklore.

I'm told that my great-grandfather was from Arabia -- I don't think that we've a family tree -- but I'm proud to be of Arabian descent -- I love Bedouins -- My lifelong romance with 'em started in the United Arab Emirates LOL ROFL -- I don't know what I'm gonna write next -- This is a stream-of-consciousness style / post -- Let's see..... -- I'm goading myself to write this -- Honestly speaking: I wanna listen to some more music or have my siesta, instead -- but it's too late for a siesta, isn't it? -- It's 4:30-ish PM in India -- By the way, folks, the day before yesterday was my birthday -- My birthday resolution this time is to stick to all of my past resolutions! LOL ROFL -- You know folks, long-ago I tried quitting (smoking) cold turkey -- but I started (smoking) again! -- I like the word: "cessation" BTW -- LOL ROFL -- I love saying NRT -- it's short for: Nicotine Replacement Therapy -- I take Nicotine Gums -- I read somewhere that people smoke to think about quitting smoking LOL ROFL I'm one of 'em -- I don't know what my wannabe girlfriend thinks about my smoking habit -- She's very different from other girls -- I don't think she'd pester me to stop.... -- When people around me are happy -- I'm ditto -- otherwise I'm :( as well -- I mirror moods of people around me -- Someday I'd like to have pet falcons -- Like Emirati People -- I wanna be a falconer --

“The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘There is no one among you who, when he is stricken with distress and grief, says, “Allahumma inni ‘abduka wabnu ‘abdika wabnu amatika naasiyati bi yadika maadin fiyya hukmuka, ‘adlun fiyya qadaa’uka. As’aluka bi kull ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka aw allamtahu ahadan min khalqika aw anzaltahu fi kitaabika aw asta’tharta bihi fi ‘ilm il-ghayb ‘indaka an taj’al al-Qur’aana rabee’a qalbi wa noora sadri wa jilaa’a huzni wa dhahaaba hammi [O Allah, I am Your slave, son of Your slave and son of Your maidservant, my forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is forever executed and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every name belonging to You which You named Yourself with, or You taught to any of Your creation, or revealed in Your Book, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the Unseen with You, that You nmake the Qur’aan the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety]” – but Allah will remove his distress and his grief, and will give him joy instead…”

The definition of "maturity" by Cambridge Learner's Dictionary is: "the quality of behaving mentally and emotionally like an adult" -- By the time you're an adult -- your 20 - 25 years have elapsed -- I'm an old man -- My actual date of birth is: 14 Nov. 1972 i.e. I'm 51 years 11 months 27 days old -- Why am I writing this post -- in the first place? I think--deep down-- I want clarity -- What I intend by clarity is: "the state of having a full, detailed, and orderly mental grasp of something" -- Today -- This morning -- I'm very fuzzy-headed -- I think--deep down--I'm a hypocrite -- I don't have courage to tell the truth -- You know they made us write a shortened version of our autobiography in the Rehabilitation Centre -- I did write that -- but I couldn't tell the truth -- at least the whole truth -- I think it takes tremendous courage to write an autobiography -- If you can't write the truth -- then there's no point writing the autobiography -- That's why I don't write it -- But in a way I've some spunk LOL ROFL -- I'm telling you the truth that I can't tell the truth -- I'm courageous enough to admit / confess that I don't have courage -- LOL ROFL -- By the way, slowly but steadily I'm turning into a writer -- I'll tell you the secret of becoming one i.e. to write nothing but the truth -- Brush up your language skills a wee bit -- learn lots of words -- that's all -- write about yourself first -- it's easy -- because you know yourself very well -- slowly you'll become one -- like me! LOL ROFL -- it does take time -- few years -- Try writing in English -- you'll have a large readership in English -- than in any our regional languages -- And, with all due respect -- I believe English is more expressive -- because it loans / absorbs words from other languages -- You'll have more elbowroom -- Refer multiple dictionaries -- Anyways, I don't know what I'm going to write next -- I'm just having a conversation with you -- chitchat -- I want clarity -- I don't want to prove anything -- I'm just having a casual chat with you -- I read somewhere that a book is actually a conversation with the author -- you can't speak with everyone -- then you write a book -- to chitchat with everyone in one go --

A whacky rhyme.... LOL ROFL hehehehehehe

Trance, trance

Demons have no chance.

I'm a Shaman

Princess or Begum.

I'm a Defender of the Crown

I may retreat but never flee: The battleground.

No talismans. No daggers. No shield. No sword

Battle hardened Daemons on my left. Warrior Angels on my right flank.

I'm Ashoka. I'm Chanakya.

I'm your worst nightmare.

What're Sorcerers? What's Sorcery? What's Witchcraft?

You're Diminutives, Weaklings and Dwarves.

My Dominion knows no thresholds 

Jupiter or Neptune -- Don't tell me: I didn't make you swoon.

Don't you dare show your teeth

I know you're in crocodile-infested swamp -- already -- knee-deep.

Number of Angels

The angels are many, and their number is known only to Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, describing the Much-Frequented House (al-Bayt al-M’amoor) in the seventh heaven:

"Then I was taken up to the Much-Frequented House: every day seventy thousand angels visit it and leave, never returning to it again, another [group] coming after them." [al-Bukhaari].

Shri Dhirendra Shastri Ji Maharaj is NOT fake or pseudo -- You're seeing him through a prism of Science -- You'll NEVER get it -- Science DOESN'T believe in God. -- Period. He's a Great Spiritual Guru / Faith Healer. I'm so pained that ignorant people are labelling him a charlatan. IF you want to understand him and other Saints from any religion / faith -- you'll have to understand religions first. In this Internet-Age it's very easy to malign anyone. But please refrain from it. You're hurting Saints....You'll be REQUITED by God for doing so. Please REMEMBER that. I'm utterly DEVASTATED that I've to write this Blog Post. Skeptics and so-called Rationalists are akin to DEAF, DUMB and BLIND. Try explaining 'em about Rainbow....about Thunder, Lightning.....etc. This is the only analogy I'd think of right now. I'll write more about this later....My humble request to Skeptics is that please leave him and other Saints alone. Thank you for reading this Blog Post. Bye for now.

Life is all about Metamorphosis -- It's all about Evolution -- I'm NOT talking about Darwinism -- I'm talking about something else -- something entirely different --You'll have to outgrow yourself -- You've to abstain from The seven deadly sins i.e. pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth -- something like that -- You know: Anger is momentary madness -- You've absolutely no right to preach us -- Who gave you that Right? -- You're a self-proclaimed and self-styled Religious Guru -- Tell me about your Credentials -- How did you become our Chieftain? -- Who gave you that Privilege? Prerogatives? Who? -- Why do we've to follow you like Lemmings? -- The most important question is: Why're we listening to you in the first place, eh? -- You're nobody -- Period. -- You're NOT uplifting us -- Social evils eh? -- We read that in the Newspapers -- Social Media -- mainstream Media -- We--absolutely--don't need you to tell us about it -- You're leading us to our inevitable doom -- In other words: You're no more better than Gurus of Doomsday Cults! -- You're NOT a Guide -- you're a highway robber -- in the guise of a savior -- You're inculcating hatred in us for others -- for no real reason -- We don't hate anybody -- You're instigating us to commit hate crimes, aren't you? -- Think about it? You're exploiting our lack of education and awareness -- You're hoarding money -- and we're dirt poor -- You're nothing more than a leech -- Forgive my insolence -- but you're literally leeching onto us -- Like a wood borer --- You're gnawing at our values and everything -- We don't need you -- Full Stop -- We're NOT as gullible as you think -- We know our Fundamental Rights -- We're well aware of our Fundamental Duties -- We love our Country -- You can't lull us into traitorous conspiracies against our own -- We're amongst our own here -- We love each other -- We respect each other -- We'll resolve our differences amongst ourselves -- We don't want you -- We don't need you.

Who is a true religious leader in these modern times?

When you don't Lilliputian-ize someone to Brobdingnagian-ize yourself -- When your conscience is throbbing -- When you don't mock someone -- When you don't ridicule someone -- When you treat even your worst foes with ample respect and dignity -- When you take great pride in being just a shepherd -- I believe -- (forgive my ignorance if I'm wrong) -- Most of the Prophets  (peace and blessings of God be upon them) were Shepherds -- "Being the good shepherd means going out into the night, to search for the one sheep who is lost, when all the ninety-nine others are safe home." -- Like Doctors Without Borders -- When you love people irrespective of their creed, race, religion, gender, or political affiliation -- When you invoke the Leader in 'em -- When you help 'em catapult themselves to be a greater person than you in all respects -- When your ego is almost nil -- When you're very kind towards all creatures of God -- When your idealism is thriving like never before -- When a leper doesn't repulse you -- When you don't sit on a pedestal and deride anyone -- scorn your rivals -- When you don't have myopia -- Then you become a true religious leader -- When you're NOT frothing at the mouth giving nothing but hatemongering and contemptuous and bitter sermons -- Then you become a religious beacon -- Then you become a Lighthouse Keeper -- Then people will have real reverence for you -- but then you don't want to be revered -- you don't want fervent followers -- you want a happy, prosperous and peaceful community, country and world.

Stream-of-consciousness: Sugar and me: Part 2 :-)

I can't write about her -- I hit the wall -- I've been looking for a soulmate for ages -- so how'd you write about this seemingly unending quest of literally zillions of years in just a short Blog post? -- I found this girl -- My OMG girl -- In the beginning it's kinda (putatively) reciprocal -- and then apparently turns out to be a classic tale of unrequited love? -- I don't know -- maybe she loves me too -- I don't know -- She wrote back to me twice or so -- then she stopped -- I don't know why -- I deduced that she's no malice -- she can't hurt anyone -- an amicable chitchat -- Do you Blog eh? She said: Yes -- I asked her for her E-mail address -- and she gave it to me -- then I went downstairs for tea -- End of story? -- I met her again -- in Rehab -- as a freeman this time -- and I asked her if she got my E-mail -- she said: Yes -- I started love bombing her -- This is my fairy story! -- She has a brilliant mind -- that's the understatement of the year! -- I wanna write the most perfect words -- impeccably, sheerly and utterly perfect words for her -- words nobody ever wrote before for their love -- Oh, Sugar, I love you so much -- We love each other?

When Moses came at the appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he asked, “My Lord! Reveal Yourself to me so I may see You.” Allah answered, “You cannot see Me! But look at the mountain. If it remains firm in its place, only then will you see Me.” When his Lord appeared to the mountain, He levelled it to dust and Moses collapsed unconscious. When he recovered, he cried, “Glory be to You! I turn to You in repentance and I am the first of the believers.”

Praise be to Allah. Firstly: It is well-known in the books of tafseer and seerah that the Shaytaan was present at the battle of Badr and that he appeared in the form of Suraaqah ibn Maalik. That is mentioned in the commentary on the verse in which Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “And (remember) when Shaitan (Satan) made their (evil) deeds seem fair to them and said, ‘No one of mankind can overcome you this day (of the battle of Badr) and verily, I will be your protector.’ But when the two forces came in sight of each other, he ran away and said ‘Verily, I have nothing to do with you. Verily! I see what you see not. Verily! I fear Allah for Allah is Severe in punishment.’” [al-Anfaal 8:48].

The Vetala Panchavimshati (Sanskrit: वेतालपञ्चविंशति, IAST: vetālapañcaviṃśati),[1][2] or Betal Pachisi ("Twenty-five (tales) of Betal"), is a collection of tales and legends within a frame story, from India. Internationally, it is also known as Vikram-Vetala. It was originally written in Sanskrit.

The April 2010 Dantewada Maoist attack[1][2] was an 6 April 2010 ambush by Naxalite-Maoist insurgents from the Communist Party of India (Maoist) near Chintalnar village in Dantewada district, Chhattisgarh, India, leading to the killing of 76 CRPF policemen and 8 Maoists[3] — the deadliest attack by the Maoists on Indian security forces.[4][5][6] The attack occurred when over 85 officers from the central paramilitary force Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and a local police group were conducting an area domination exercise in the Bastar tribal region of the Indian state of Chhattisgarh.[7] Ambush style attacks on Indian Police have been repeated since by Maoist militants.

'Do Not Even Try...': Putin's Huge Warning To Israel Over Iran Nuke Sites

Then he said: “But when the disbelieving slave is about to depart this world and enter the Hereafter, there come down to him from heaven angels with black faces, bringing sackcloth, and they sit around him as far as the eye can see. Then the Angel of Death comes and sits by his head, and he says, ‘O evil soul, come forth to the wrath of Allah and His anger.’ Then his soul disperses inside his body, then comes out cutting the veins and nerves, like a skewer passing through wet wool. When he seizes it, they do not leave it in his hand for an instant before they take it and put it in that sackcloth, and there comes from it a stench like the foulest stench of a dead body on the face of the earth. Then they ascend and they do not pass by any group of angels but they say, ‘Who is this evil soul?’ and they say, ‘It is So and so the son of So and so, calling him by the worst names by which he was known in this world, until they reach the lowest heaven. They ask for it to be opened to them and it is not opened.” Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) recited (interpretation of the meaning): “for them the gates of heaven will not be opened, and they will not enter Paradise until the camel goes through the eye of the needle” [Al-A’raaf 7:40] He said: “Then Allah says, ‘Record the book of My slave in Sijjeen in the lowest earth, and return him to the earth, for from it I created them, to it I will return them and from it I will bring them forth once again.’ So his soul is cast down.” Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) recited the verse (interpretation of the meaning): “and whoever assigns partners to Allah, it is as if he had fallen from the sky, and the birds had snatched him, or the wind had thrown him to a far off place” [Al-Hajj 22:31] He said: “Then his soul is returned to his body, and there come to him two angels who make him sit up and they say to him, ‘Who is your Lord?’ He says, ‘Oh, oh, I don’t know.’ They say, ‘What is your religion?’ He says, ‘Oh, oh, I don’t know.’ Then a voice calls out from heaven, ‘Prepare for him a bed from Hell and clothe him from Hell, and open for him a gate to Hell.’ Then there comes to him some of its heat and hot winds, and his grave is constricted and compresses him until his ribs interlock. Then there comes to him a man with an ugly face and ugly clothes, and a foul stench, who says, ‘Receive the bad news, this is the day that you were promised.’ He says, ‘Who are you? Your face is a face which forebodes evil.’ He says, ‘I am your evil deeds.’ He says, ‘O Lord, do not let the Hour come, do not let the Hour come.’” This hadith was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albani in Ahkaam al-Janaa’iz, p. 156

Ahmad (17803) and Abu Dawood (4753) narrated that al-Baraa’ ibn ‘Aazib said: We went out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for the funeral of a man from among the Ansaar. We came to the grave and when (the deceased) was placed in the lahd, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sat down and we sat around him, as if there were birds on our heads (i.e., quiet and still). In his hand he had a stick with which he was scratching the ground. Then he raised his head and said, “Seek refuge with Allah from the torment of the grave”, two or three times …”

Agnipravesham (Sanskrit: अग्निप्रवेशम, romanized: Agnipraveśam, lit. 'Fiery entrance'),[1] also called Agnipariksha (Sanskrit: अग्निपरीक्षा, romanized: Agniparīkṣā, lit. 'fiery ordeal') is the mythical[2] practice of self-immolation described in Hindu literature.

"Rome wasn't built in a day" is an adage attesting to the need for time to create great things. It is the usual English translation of a medieval French phrase, Rome ne fu[t] pas faite toute en un jour, from the collection Li Proverbe au Vilain, published around 1190.[1] The modern French form is «Rome ne s'est pas faite en un jour». Here is how it may be used in a conversation: "You cannot expect me to finish a project of this scale in 24 hours. Rome wasn't built in a day".

When in Rome, do as the Romans do (Medieval Latin: Sī fuerīs Rōmae, Rōmānō vīvitō mōre; sī fuerīs alibī, vīvitō sīcut ibī), often shortened to when in Rome..., is a proverb attributed to Saint Ambrose.[1][2] The proverb means that it is best to follow the traditions or customs of a place being visited. A later version reads when in Rome, do as the Pope does.

Why India’s no-first strike nuclear policy makes sense (as defence ministers should know) Former National Security Advisor Shivshankar Menon explains the logic behind the decision. Shivshankar Menon Nov 19, 2016 · 10:30 am

https://scroll.in/article/821874/why-indias-no-first-strike-nuclear-policy-makes-sense-as-defence-ministers-should-know

In nuclear ethics and deterrence theory, no first use (NFU) refers to a type of pledge or policy wherein a nuclear power formally refrains from the use of nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in warfare, except for as a second strike in retaliation to an attack by an enemy power using WMD. Such a pledge would allow for a unique state of affairs in which a given nuclear power can be engaged in a conflict of conventional weaponry while it formally forswears any of the strategic advantages of nuclear weapons, provided the enemy power does not possess or utilize any such weapons of their own. The concept is primarily invoked in reference to nuclear mutually assured destruction but has also been applied to chemical and biological warfare, as is the case of the official WMD policy of India.
