A Black Thursday?

USA is and continues to be one of the largest and leading economies on earth. Any economic problem to the USA is taken as an international issue. No doubt it will be so as they contribute so much to the world economy. One such well know issue was the black Thursday, also known as the Great Crash of 1929. This was an incidence where the stock market of USA saw a devastating crash, which some says is the worst such scenario other than the great depression.

A special and memorable day in life..... :)

Next, we packed up a lot, baits, lines, hooks, coke, water, biscuits and everything. Be frank, we didn't miss anything, at least not yet! Though we all are from Hithadhoo, we had to get on to Bokkuraa from Feydhoo since that is where we got it. Yea, there were a lot of people near

As we celebrate the Eidul Fithuru...

Today, we the Muslims around the world (in most countries) are celebrating the Eid. The day that we celebrate after a month of fasting. A month of prayers, a month of forgiveness. I wish every the Muslim brothers and sister around the world Eid Mubarak. As we celebrate the Eid, as we thank God for His mercy and as we pray for his forgiveness, lets not forget many sufferings of Muslims around the globe. Let us include them in our prayers. The Muslims in Palestine, Chechnya, Iraq, Kashmir and so on. May Allah bless all the Muslims and make the Islamic world better and prosperous.
