Commemoration of the Taken

-
Why did it happen? It hurts that what was ours was not given to us. It’s hard to say if it's taken. The heart is sobbing. The world doesn’t matter. Life has been cruel. This grief is never ending.
If we keep on lamenting the misdoings and tragedies which life has offered us and indulge ourselves in the graves of self-pity, the pain will still not lessen. It will grow exponentially with every passing day. To heal this pain, first let it go. Believe what happened was just a pit stop in life. Life doesn’t stop at this pit stop. It invites us to continue our journey accompanied with hope and faith, and to move on with the belief that it is not finished yet. Only what wasn't ours has been taken. Every day could begin the course of a brand-new future. After all, it comes along with the new dawn after every darkest night. The content, the peace, should always remain within us. And graciously, this journey should be completed.
I wrote this when my wife suffered her first miscarriage. I now realise how ungrateful I was. I should have believed in the will of Allah. I am thankful to Allah for what he has blessed me with later in life.

2016: A year in review – Crossroads and then a Straight line

-
It’s May 2017 and I had the impression that I had already put down my reminiscences of 2016... which I hadn’t... so I am writing them now. As mentioned in my review of 2015, at the end of 2015 I got a contract job offer in Canberra for a federal government department. However, I wasn’t sure if I should take it or not, as I was anxiously waiting for the final outcome of my job application at PWC. I knew I had made it through there; it’s just that I was waiting for final formalities to begin. The first few weeks of January passed and there was no reply from PWC. Meanwhile, the Canberra job agent was waiting for me to join as I had passed through all the formal checks. Finally, after some anxious days, I got a reply from PWC that they wanted to offer me a job, and they asked me for my expected salary. I replied to them with the figure that I knew some of my former colleagues were already getting there. At the same time, I got feedback on my annual review from my Capgemini manager, and i

Life at 40

-
Yesterday and the day earlier, I was going through my blog. I proofread it, fixed grammatical mistakes, and paraphrased some sentences. I know I have stopped writing regularly and I can see long gaps in my writing. At times, I do feel like writing something, but I procrastinate. I need to be regular because when I go through my old posts, I realise how my life has shaped up over the years. How my thoughts, worries, and joys have changed over the years. How have I transformed over the years? Today I have limited time. I will try to complete this post instead of saving it in drafts only to be completed next year. I have just dropped my kids off at school and the youngest one is at day-care. My wife is at work, and I am at home, all alone. I must complete a solution pack by Friday, and I should be concentrating on it instead of my blog, but I want to write something. Reading my old posts yesterday, I realised how much my life has changed over the years. There has been a challenge in almo
