Kashf (intuition)

Maybe Allaah May He be Glorified and Exalted has blessed me with Kashf (intuition). I don't know. Allaah knows the best. I'm going through spiritual experiences since 2012.

Happy endings

I'm a novice writer -- It's easy to fictionalize reality -- Take a chunk of reality and morph it -- I role-play -- I feel what my characters are going through -- Autobiographical accounts are easy to write -- I don't have to imagine much.

Friday, October 26, 2018

Note to my Blog readers:

I love to write in epistolary form -- instead of letters -- my characters phone each other.

Draft

Writing as the malice of a saboteur -- Vengence of an arsonist -- As sharp as a surgeon's scalpel -- Like bullheaded, bloodthirsty vendetta -- The fierce determination of knights jousting against each other.

The rampant baksheesh culture of Hyderabad

You jump the queue or red light -- A handful of money that's all it takes to bail you out. Vice or offense.

Anyone (menial worker) on the bottom rung -- or chief executive officer on the top rung of society / on the social scale /  on the corporate ladder ----Baksheesh is an open sesame / passport to get you out of the great Indian red tape maze.

Writing . . . .

We hero worship wrong people.

Have you ever thought: How much does a moulvi sahib get?
We ogle at seminude nymphos on telly and big screen -- spend zillions of rupees.

This x diva is a millionaire -- That x actor is a zillionaire.
We want our kids to be rocket scientists. How about an imam?

heart-wrenching shrieks of my soul . . . . / primal scream

Year: Early 2000 -- My first bout / episode of schizophrenia -- I started mimicking -- mirroring moods -- I was like you're okay -- I'm okay -- I mean: If people around me are in a good mood -- I don't know how to put this . . . . that pepped me up -- If someone is upset -- I get worried -- Is it something that I did -- If someone is shouting at someone -- angry with someone I get nervous -- 

Catch up on . . . .

I lost my edge -- like in the movie: Top Gun -- That chap Cougar gives up his wings -- Smartphones and apps are beginning to intimidate me -- tech-savvy to technophobic.

Set your sights . . . .

A change -- drastic changed has happened -- I see things visually -- like the visually impaired girl in the movie: Black -- For example: I just don't see a lion but a pride -- its attributes -- characteristics -- If there's a little plume of smoke -- I see wind direction -- If I see a bird flying -- I remember this verse of Sura: Al-Mulk of the Quran: 67:19 

Do they not see the birds above them with wings outspread and [sometimes] folded in? None holds them [aloft] except the Most Merciful. Indeed He is, of all things, Seeing.

So an uprooted tree is arrogance -- a creeping plant as blah-blah.

That's all for now.

Sura: An-Naml, Sura #: 27, Verses:7, 8, 9, 10, 12

[Mention] when Moses said to his family, "Indeed, I have perceived a fire. I will bring you from there information or will bring you a burning torch that you may warm yourselves."

But when he came to it, he was called, "Blessed is whoever is at the fire and whoever is around it. And exalted is Allah, Lord of the worlds.

O Moses, indeed it is I - Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise."

And [he was told], "Throw down your staff." But when he saw it writhing as if it were a snake, he turned in flight and did not return. [ Allah said], "O Moses, fear not. Indeed, in My presence the messengers do not fear.

And put your hand into the opening of your garment [at the breast]; it will come out white without disease. [These are] among the nine signs [you will take] to Pharaoh and his people. Indeed, they have been a people defiantly disobedient."

Sura: An-Naml, Sura #: 27, Verses: 38 -- 40

[Solomon] said, "O assembly [of jinn], which of you will bring me her throne before they come to me in submission?"

A powerful one from among the jinn said, "I will bring it to you before you rise from your place, and indeed, I am for this [task] strong and trustworthy."

Said one who had knowledge from the Scripture, "I will bring it to you before your glance returns to you." And when [Solomon] saw it placed before him, he said, "This is from the favor of my Lord to test me whether I will be grateful or ungrateful. And whoever is grateful - his gratitude is only for [the benefit of] himself. And whoever is ungrateful - then indeed, my Lord is Free of need and Generous."

Sura: An-Naml, Sura #: 27, Verses: 17 -- 19

And gathered for Solomon were his soldiers of the jinn and men and birds, and they were [marching] in rows.

Until, when they came upon the valley of the ants, an ant said, "O ants, enter your dwellings that you not be crushed by Solomon and his soldiers while they perceive not."

So [Solomon] smiled, amused at her speech, and said, "My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to do righteousness of which You approve. And admit me by Your mercy into [the ranks of] Your righteous servants."

There IS shortcut to success!

What's the difference between Muhammad Ali Clay and Mike Tyson? / What is the difference between Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli?

Limelight. Celebrityhood. In a nutshell: A whale of success. They couldn't handle it.

You know, I think there should be schools or something like that to help newbie stars. Blah-blah.

Excerpt from: Pulling Your Own Strings by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

As a child you were often victimized simply by virtue of your stature within your family. Your strings were being pulled constantly, and while you complained privately, you also knew there was very little you could do to take control. You knew you couldn't support yourself, and that if you didn't go along with the program outlined by the big people in your life, there were very few acceptable alternatives available to you. All you had to do was try running away from home for twenty minutes to see how helpless you were on your own. So you went along, and you learned to accept your reality. In fact, having others dictate to you was a very sensible arrangement, since you really were incapable of carrying out any alternate "fantasies." And while you worked at attaining some independence, you were often content to let others do your thinking and life-directing for you.

157606: Are the jinn able to appear in human form? Can they appear in Ramadan?

“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 am your neighbour (for each and every help).’ 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].

201120: Who are Banu Qurayzah? What happened to them?

Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to him and said: Have you laid down your arms? For by Allah, we (angels) have not laid down ours; go out to them. He said: “Where to?” He said: Over there – and he pointed in the direction of Banu Qurayzah.

“O Muslims! Rejoice! This is the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)!”

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) turned towards the Muslims, and the first one who recognized him beneath his armour was Ka’b ibn Maalik, who shouted at the top of his voice, “O Muslims! Rejoice! This is the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)!” He gestured to him to be quiet, and the Muslims gathered around him and went with him to the mountain pass where he had camped.

Stream of consciousness


  • My everyday life is void of spontaneity -- I'm beginning to realize that I'm self-centered -- grotesquely selfish. But, not always.


  • I observed that a pigeon made innumerable sorties to build its nest.


  • Did you know fledgling means a young bird that has grown feathers and is learning to fly.


  • I'm a polymath: i.e. a person who knows a lot about many different subjects.

Alpha Geeks

This is a place for the Geronimos in us --  Anarchists -- Ghostwriters -- Someone who patiently explains what a grey hat does for a living to his novice crush --

This hangout is also for: Denizens. geeks, nerds. night owls and wizards.

Listening to jazz.-- Looking for drive-by Subway -- Stealthily war driving -- concurrently.

Geez! Less common spelling of JEEZ eh? Like geezer? Nope, that's a queer, odd, or eccentric person.

Implied meaning is me huh? 

To Be Continued . . . . 

Obituary of a living person i.e. me

RIP Remote Imaging Protocol? Nope: Rest in peace.

Obituary of a living person i.e. me:

I'm writing my own obituary -- so obviously this is not posthumously.

People write a will. 

I'm dead. Let's presume: I'm dead. 

I've never read anything like this. But there must be -- someone must've written his/her obituary.

How'd I write? Is it easy? Or complicated? I don't know.

The self-proclaimed Hunchbacked Whirling Dervish passed away -- today.

Maybe it's not a good thing to write this while you're alive.

But maybe this would help me and others. Maybe not.

My soul meeting with all the departed souls. Grieving my own death and joyous--at the same time.

Please don't cry. See I'm so happy. Don't wail my death.

I never knew you people love me so much.

And, I didn't know how much I love you people.

I can't come there. You can't come here. 

I'm sorry.

I love you.

But, someday we'd meet again. Don't be sad. 

Forgive me.

To be resurrected . . . .
