Reminder

Daily, when the day is over..
You go to bed, and
Your head is on the pillow..
Count GOD's blessings..
Count them, one by one...
And before you drowned into dreams,
Don't forget to Thank GOD,
For all HE blessed you....

May GOD bless you. Ameen.

A Tower for Deer (Hiran Minar)..

Captured at Hiran Minar in Shaikhupura District, Punjab. The gate is actually entrance to a building architecture known as Baradari (it was behind me and so not in this picture). The tower is on other side of gate :). Hiran Minar was built by famous Mughal Emperor Noor-u-Deen Jahangir (1605-1627 AD), in 1607 AD in the memory of his beloved Deer ("Hiran" in Urdu/Hindi ). At this place (Old name= Jahangir Pura, New Name=Shaikhupura), emperor captured a beautiful Deer (Hiran) which then became his beloved pet. He named that Deer as Mansaraj.. Minar (Urdu/Hindi word) is called Tower in English. That tower is still there, but not in good shape. There were two more stories up, which were destroyed by time :(

Ray of light..

Just as the sun touches A still pond,

And it shines as a silky cloth,

You, the brightest Ray of Light,

Touch my soul,

And it shines,

Reflecting tenderness

Last moments of another day...

 Just beyond the sunset
Lies a home for me
Where the world is peaceful
Like a paradise should be
Just beyond the sunset
Someday is where you’ll find me
