The Answer Should Always Be No




10 Qs when asked by any woman, the answer should always be NO



1.       Am I putting on weight? (never ever say yes; for if you say yes then you will be under so much stress that you will start putting on weight yourself).

2.       Do I look old? (it’s an irrelevant question. She is merely testing you. As per scientific data available with me women stop growing once they reach 16).

3.       Is the food badly cooked? (sometimes it is but don’t say yes; the woman of the house has thousand things on her head, so consider that and say, no, the food is not badly cooked).  

4.       Is ‘that’ woman beautiful? (all women are beautiful; some of them just don’t know how to look beautiful. Anyways when a woman asks ‘is that woman beautiful’; then you have to simply say ‘no’, species rivalry can kill, so don’t be a part of the bloodbath).

5.       Does my mother bother you? (consider the sensitivity involved and say no even if her mother is really bothering you).

6.       Did I go over-budget while shopping? (say no but show her the credit card bill, probably she may get the cue).

7.       Do I shop often? (no darling, it’s me who goes shopping regularly, you are so kind to accompany me)

8.       Shall I change into another dress? (if you say yes, it means the one she is wearing is not suiting her? And that could become the cause for 3rd world war).

9.       Am I too moody? (what’s that?).

10.   Do I really throw tantrums? (no, never, I only end up catching some).

My Mother named me Haider

My mother named me Haider so said Ali son of Abu Talib to Marhab when he said that his mother had named him Marhab. If only Marhab had recalled, at this juncture, what his mother would tell him when he was a child. ‘My son, you’ll be a great warrior. Your fame would spread throughout the Arab world. But keep in mind one thing. If in any battle you come face to face with a man named Haider, do not fight him. Just lay down your sword.’ If Marhab had paid heed to his mother’s advice, he wouldn’t have met the fate he met with in Khaiber. But he was high on ego; drunk on his strength and fame, he thought, how anyone could fight him. He was Marhab – how anyone could challenge his might? In every battle, Ali always introduced himself as Ali son of Abu Talib. But in Khaiber, he introduced himself as Haider because he was aware of what Marhab’s mother had told Marhab. This is sufficient evidence of Ali’s knowledge of the unknown. If in Khaiber Ali had introduced himself as Ali a...

The Lady in Red

Yesterday after my morning prayer, I went for my 30- minute walk. My wife did not accompany me because she preferred the warmth of the bed to the cold outside. Usually, she does. I did not take the path that I normally take every day. The road was deserted and not a soul was in sight. I walked briskly, determined to do a certain number of steps within the time that I had. It was dark and the wintry breeze was making me shiver. I thought of the cosiness of my bed and for a moment was tempted to abandon the walk and go back home. But commitment is commitment. So, I kept walking. When I reached the end of the walking trail, I turned left instead of right. I don’t know why I did it. I should have turned right because that’s where the walker’s path continues. On the left is an alley between two high-rise buildings. Before I could turn back, I spotted a lady smoking a cigarette. She was wearing a long, red gown and her lips were painted with blood-red lipstick. Her tired eyes had da...

Zaidis and Wastis

                                                         Many people believe that Zaidis and Wastis are two separate surnames. The truth is that it isn’t. Zaidis and Wastis hail from a place in Iraq called Wasit. Wasti is actually Wasiti but over time, it became Wasti. They are descended from the fourth Imam Ali bin Hussain, also known as Zain-ul-Abedin. His eldest son’s name was Zaid. Hence the name Zaidi. These people are Sayyeds meaning they can trace their ancestry to the Holy Prophet. In the 11 th century, Sayyid Abul Farah Al Hussaini Al Wasti (son of Syed Daud al Hussaini), came to India from Iraq, with his twelve sons, and most of the Zaidis and Wastis in India and Pakistan are their descendants. Let me clarify one point here. There are Zaidis who are not Wastis. They are those who believe that Zaid and not Mohammad Baqir ...
