Many people argue that if we had an ideal Muslim Governement in our countries, we would be living in Utopia. However, I have yet to hear anyone describe the characteristics of such a government other than people saying that it would go according to the sharia. I would like to know what are the qualities of such a gov't. Some questions to ponder on: How would the leader/legislator of this country be elected? How would it differ from the typical western country? How closely would it resemble the Tali... Read More
May 18, 2005 at 12:38pmFDog, I'm not that left-off center to hold all traditions in contempt. Mamad, I am not being intolerant as I never said someone shouldn't keep a beard. Rather, I was trying to...
May 18, 2005 at 3:35amHijabijinan, I'm sorry if I flew off the handle. I didn't mean to. As Aim correctly said I brought some of my own personal experience and history into the matter. The dramatic f...
May 18, 2005 at 2:46amFrom what I've read, here and in the past, the beard is considered wajib. Raid, we must be tolerant of all people. Religion is a very personal thing. You must understand that so...

I don't know about ya'll, but I don't always see procrastination as a bad thing. In fact, all my best papers in school were written the night before (if not the CLASS before) they were due. I figure, at that point, you have no choice BUT to do it.
July 25, 2005 at 9:24pmwasted time just seems more delicious when you know you're procastinating something... that is, once you get over that permeating guilt
May 19, 2005 at 5:54pmAnything in excess is bad, procastination is an excess (well it depends how you define it). I hate procastination, but I cant help it. It may have helped me on many occassions, ...
May 17, 2005 at 6:43ami agree. procrastination is quite useful to anyone with stress-relieved ADD.

May 22, 2005 at 6:36amMoon, so whats up with all these rules in Turkmenistan? I mean can you shed some more light on them for us? Venom, rules are made to be broken if the situation calls for it.

hmmm... I'm way out of the loop other than the Premiership in England! Who are likely transfers this summer in the market??? And Glazer's ownership of ManU is rather interesting, I must say. I really don't know what to make of it!?! Is it a coveted acquisition that he wants to have as his muse (which is good, he'll care more about players & winning than making the almighty dollar/sterling) OR is it just another financial instrament for him to payoff other debts & self-finance it's own purchase in the lo...

August 12, 2005 at 7:43pmI love to TAN!!! even though people have lots to say about it....i dont think theres anything wrong with it...as "sophiasaba" mentioned it does make you look more defined!!! an...
August 8, 2005 at 10:34ami gotta try the 'mystic tan'. i did the tanning bed three times in my life...one can easily get hooked.
August 6, 2005 at 7:49pmMy Husband is a pro bodybuilder and he tans to dry up the access water from the body and skin. Tanning helps him tighten his skin so it looks more toned and ripped.

disclaimer - I'm fairly new to naseeb so don't know the journal protocol yet. if this topic is too stupid for "professionals" let me know. so, recenlty I've had a chance to hang out with a lot of senior managers at work and see them deal with a lot management related issues. I was wondering if there are any managers out there (esp. in the engineering field) who would like to share their experiences. how did you get to be in management? do you like it? what kind of future do you see ahead of you?
May 16, 2005 at 1:04amI came from a consulting environment and sorta fell into the management role. As per liking it. There are up and downs and surely the increased responsibility is somewhat daun...

Tumko hum dil mein basa lenge tum aao to sahi... Sari duniyaa se chupaa lenge, tum aao to sahi Ek wada karo, aab humse na bichodege kabhi.. Naaz hum sare uttha lenge tum aao to sahi... Ikhtalafaat bhi mitt jaainge reafta-rafta.. Jis tarha hoga nibhaa lenge, tum aao to sahi... Be-wafa bhi ho, sitamgar bhi, Jafa-pesha bhi.... Hum khuda tumko banaa lenge, tum aao to sahi... Yu to har simt, nazar utthti hai tareeki hai.... Pyaar ke deep jalaa lenge, tum aao to sahi... Dil ki veeraa... Read More

Two Hindu swamis were in conversation. One said to the other, "How did you like my latest book, 'The Art of Levitation'?" His companion replied, "It kept me up all night." *** A Hindu devotee asked God, represented by the multi-armed Lord Narayana, this question. "My dear Lord," he said. "I understand that you have innumerable inconceivable potencies. But out of all of them the energy of light seems to be the most amazing. Light pervades the spiritual world, it illuminates the material universes, a... Read More

In many books and movies we see that a villain, a person of evil character sees the light and changes completely to be a good person. I am sure everything is possible in this world but generally do you think that it is realistic for most people? Are most people capable of such a change? Do people really change so drastically? What are the essential factors that would make it likely for such a change to happen?
May 16, 2005 at 6:48amAbshaw you have a very good point. Most elections are decided, by the undecided voters; and they're the ones the politicians target.
May 16, 2005 at 6:41amIt is a relative question to begin with, but i am going to make some assumptions to answer this one. One's mental condition never remains the same, he might agree on certian thi...

Sufis were great intellectuals - men of letters and poets of eminence. Adept in medicine and steeped in spiritualism, they looked upon 'social service' as the supreme goal of all their spiritual exercises; advocated the path of peace and asked people to avoid rift and bloodshed. Shaikh Fariduddin Ganj Shakar of Pakpattan advised his disciples to placate one's enemies. He once told a vistor: "Do not give me a knife; give me a needle. The knife is an instrument for ...

Theres two types, the male superiority complex, and then theres fanatical patriotism ,regardless of which definition of patriotism/nationalism it is. Just looking to get people's views on any aspect or type of chauvinism.
May 18, 2005 at 5:21pmJasmine: them too. They epitomize the social phenomenon in gender relations. Labs: I haven't come across a third definition of chauvinism. You have the connotation right thou...
May 17, 2005 at 7:12amI thought chauvinism was chauvinism. and the rest - nationalism and other prejudices come under their own categories.. they all have things in common though.. a feeling of super...
May 14, 2005 at 1:29pmI think there are more categories than the two mentioned above (such as chauvinism by minorities) but any type of chauvinism is a result of lack of knowledge. The power of the c...
