~~~ Courage ~~~
Sun was about to disappear
far away in the ocean

Birds were hurrying to their nests
in an orderly fashion

sky was preparing itself to change its colour
from orange to purple to black

cool breeze was blowing across her face
blowing her hair ever so softly

I kept looking at her,
she kept looking at the sea
as if waiting for that eternal moment to reappear

this was perhaps the hundredth time
in last one week,that I wanted to tell her...

sun disappeared, time ran out, she left...
this time forever.

Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025

Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 brought a sweeping ban on all real-money online games in India, including poker and rummy. By treating every money-based game as “gambling,” the law erased a long-standing distinction recognized by Indian courts between games of skill and games of chance . What makes the law even more controversial is how it was passed : The draft Bill was published only a day before its introduction in Parliament, leaving no meaningful opportunity for public debate or objections. The Bill was then introduced in the Lok Sabha and passed within seven minutes , and cleared by the Rajya Sabha the very next day. This rushed process undermined transparency and denied stakeholders — including citizens, gamers, and industry representatives — their rightful chance to be heard. This hasty passage raises serious questions about democratic lawmaking, especially when it impacts a $23 billion industry an...

हर वक़्त निगाहें टिकी रहती है आसमान पर काश वोह आसमान मेरे पिंजरे में आ जाए हर वक़्त खोया रहता हूँ वोह बचपन की यादों में काश वोह खुशहाल  बचपन वापस मेरी ज़िन्दगीमें आ जाए हर वक़्त सर रखता हूँ मरहूम तेरी कबर पर काश तेरे बेजान जिस्म में वापस जान आ जाए क्यूँ नहीं? आखिर सूरज और चाँद ने भी तो मनमानी की है! उसने भी तो आसमान से अपनी दीवार और छत बनाई है! क्यूँ नहीं? बारिश की वोह बूँद ने भी तो सूरज की किरण को चूमकर बादलको गले लगाया है! क्यूँ नहीं? सूरज भी तो सारी रात रूठकर सुबह मुस्कुराता हुआ वापस आता है? क्यूँ नहीं? केहते है मांगो तो खुदा भी मिल जाता है तो फिर मरहूम की जान कौनसी बड़ी बात है? - Musten Jiruwala

Muharram and the Battle of Karbala

-
Muharram is the first month of Islamic Hijri Calendar. Today is 2nd of Muharram of Hijri year 1433. Muharram is one of the most significant month for Shia Muslims because it marks the martyrdom of Husain Ibn Ali (A.S), grandson of Prophet Mohammed (SAW). During this month there are special congregations for the first 10 days where the life and time of Husain Ibn Ali (A.S.) and his family is narrated. Let me limit this note to Muharram for Dawoodi Bohra community of which I am a member. For Dawoodi Bohra community, who are followers of Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (TUS), month of Muharram is very significant. People of the community would travel long distances to listen to the sermons by Syedna (TUS). This year, Syedna(TUS) is presiding the congregation in the city of Mumbai (India) and people from all over the world are pouring in there. Resident Bohras of Mumbai would make comfortable arrangements for stay and food for people coming from outside of Mumbai. Apart from...
