Morality Is The Base Of The Universe And Lake View Point Visit In Islamabad

We  been  watching  latest  season of  "Sinner" on Netflix.We finished it last night . Jamie the lead character of this season seemed typical villain who is under the influence of his friend Nick whom he had met in college . Nick thinks that the whole scenario called universe and life has no meaning and morality is self created thing  and killing people  is fine as no "watcher" is out there to see or respond .I found the basic idea of Nick's conception  quite ignorant though witty dark characters intrigue me . I think negative character in this recent show was poorly done. If  he was just victim of bitter past ,it has nothing to do with the whole universe. Jamie who is teacher himself must be aware that "morality is base of this universe and  each thing has to support other thing to grab meaningful existence . This give and take of support is simplest form of morality which born  from the belly of "Need " need of having privilege of " being something" which is not possible if there is no exchange of  help or connections between living  or non living things . Anyway i enjoyed the show though it did not make mind exercise at all.

So morality  is created by Creator himself .

I think " balance "upon which this universe depends  is best manifestation  of morality so we can learn how to exist successfully :)

Enough my blah blah ,now let me share images with you dear friends .All photos are taken during  our visit to Rawal Lake View Point  Islamabad . This  amusement and adventure park is located beside the Rawal lake which is an artificial reservoir. It great source of water for Islamabad and Rawalpindi along with other small villages around . It is best place to relax and sit near water .After lockdown though park was crowded but thanks to it's hugeness crowed did not bother at all .i am sorry i could not mention the area measures as i could not find it online which is weird .We visited there many times but we had more fun on cloudy day as park has hardly sheltered area and summer sun is rarely kind .hope you will enjoy the views ,

first five images are from my youngest son's phone which is better than mine ,i added these later right after publishing post when i remembered that he has sent me via what's app . 

we arrived there around 5 pm and spent more than two hours , i stick to the water as usual though hubby and elder son took round of park ,my phone camera is not able to see  beauty of moments we experienced there ,i wish i can buy good camera one day 

a very huge area is devoted to this park and i think thousands of people can wander inside the beautiful park without being so close which is admirable  

we spent most time on various benches placed on the edge near water ,it was soothing and airy evening ,seeing life returning to norm and having lovely time with family on such serene spot was gift and i took full advantage of it :)

this is entrance of the park ,this road leads to the park 's amusement area where rides and  a very huge bird cage are ,further  is  sitting area and some refreshment stores ,boating is also great way to adore nature and lush villages  around the water  ,i think this road is almost three km long

along with main road within park there are side walks too so people can avoid congestion 

after crossing the huge bird cage we reach near sitting area ,benches are far lesser than people but place is neat due to good care by authorities of central govt so many sit where ever they find suitable  

   as move closer to water i feel happier :) what is the connection between me and water or air i don't know ,all i know they make me feel close to him 

while hubby and elder son were on round me and my youngest  were taking photos of each other  to freeze these moments :) cool breeze and peaceful water both seemed singing softly to comfort my heart:)

though my youngest son was asking for permission to join his brother which i gave him once he took my correct photo after many blurred ones lol

reflections speak  so calmly and so beautifully ,i wish they could stay longer but as sun hide away ,they started to loose their strength and resolved with the transparency of lake just like life disappear into unknowings of death    

taken by youngest son ,i hate eye glasses coming between views and me though they clear it for me i know still as long i wear them i feel extra weight on my extra big nose lol

my elder son's most favorite job during all trips was taking photos non stop ,hope he has no influence from me for this :)

there are special cabins  made for people which give closer and calmer view of water ,but each was crowded so i left quickly after few click 

i wish  weather of our Khairpur city allow us to travel more but this is another fact that there are less places to visit here unlike Islamabad and those few available are not so neat and comfortable to visit unfortunately ,parks refresh people's soul and healthy soul support bodies to be healthy ,we need more parks here indeed 

clouds seemed to warped out after sunset ,i tried to capture the enchantment of moment when last light peeked through gloomy clouds of evening and enlightened them with their last goodbye kiss with promise of  refreshing return next day ,life is not possible without hope ,Hope is robe we have to keep hold on during darkness ,it leads to light eventually if held with faith unshaken i believe 

 i also visited the huge net cage of birds  first time there but due to crowed i exited early though took some quick shots ,may be you are familiar with some of them 

birds in cage un comfort my heart so it was nice to see them having option of free wander :) it was really big area and i f had stayed there i could have see many more ,i didn't go upper portion 

people were flowing like stream yet i found moments when i could see birds clearly though it was hard to keep them pause them for my clicks :(

this one reminded me parrots pet by my mom for almost nine years ,they  mimic and speak well astonishingly 

she must be missing water as i can see sadness in her eyes ,though there was pond along the cage for them thankfully 

Precious people hope all is amazing at your end

wishing you all ,all the happiness and peace in this world and worlds ahead :)

blessings in days you are having with yourself and loved ones !

Life Update And Glimpse Of Hamburg City From My Eldest Son "s Visit

Since  lockdown  is lifted completely life in our country is  joining it's normal  routine . All happenings and  all things seems to have  refreshing look. Seeing  people  walking  fearlessly every where is  something we all are grateful for obviously. Despite of all my introversion i have  realized the beauty and value of crowed . Lots of humans filled with lots of various  thoughts and emotions will less bother me now (i think)

My youngest son's school has opened  on 15th of September and it was  almost like celebration to see him going school once again. There  are hardly six months in final exams so we are waiting for reduced syllabus  so we can figure out how students will be able to get ready for it .

Weather  has reached to it's turning point  for us finally . Spring like days before our shortest winters are filling my soul with serenity and joy. Joy of being able to look at the sky so glorious and garden so healing  fills me with absolute gratefulness .What else one can ask for  :)

Nature 's lap is always comforting and nurturing .My soul never get tired of being cradled within it . The long i stay with  her the more strong i feel . Energy consumed by  life and people returns back when one sit by nature . I don't know how this works but it seems that she is hugging you like a mother hugs a child and strengthens you with her healing power and soothing love.Cleans your soul and set her free :) Do you feel same ?

When i think about days when we lived in small house 16 years ago. My soul seemed to starve for seeing plants around as after some renovation we had no space for plants there . So i bought artificial one and would see them with sigh ,sorrow and hope as they will appear alive for me.Sometime they would actually .

My imagination helped me for which i call it "Window Of Soul" and i strongly believe that this window opens to those who long for his help when life treats them roughly . It makes one look beyond limits he is captivated at the moment . It nurtures his faith with hope of the  days and glory Lord has preserved for him  in future. This keeps his spirit high and attitude positive .He avoids despair and short cuts during his walk to divine destination. No storm shakes him and no dark overshadow him because his eyes are on the divine sight that he views through the window of soul :) That is lord's promise which is not meant to be broken ever !

My eldest son has started his first proper job since two months. I am glad that his long run of studies is over finally .He and his friends like many many others are facing visa issues that was delayed because of lockdown. He told they had to wait in row for 7 hours to reach in office .Hope and pray this matter solves soon.

After his final exams he went to visit Hamburg which is port city in northern Germany . He spent two days there alone.He said it is nice to visit alone sometimes so you can explore place by your own terms and ways .He said it was beautiful experience and he cycled a lot which seemed most appropriate way to discover beauty of any new place.

He shared images with us .I am sharing some of them with you ,hope you will enjoy . 

 

        his first meal there after arrival probably ,many people don't like to visit new places alone ,they prefer company ,specially youngsters ,what about you 

   i noticed that he captured water most , whether river ,pond or canals ,water has compelling power to attract minds who find solace in nature's most divers and  tranquil  kind 

Germany suffered lot because of it's military history that is stained with naziasim and Hitler and even though i am not one of those who were effected directly ,such art reminds me horrible things done by power to innocents 

 i am glad my son choose cycle to explore Hamburg city ,this guy was the inspiration probably :)

   don't you want to sit there by putting your feet under water ,how soothing !

see how air is able to write on water ,isn't it so poetic to read this poetry while looking at the glittering reflections ,truly magical 

what would have we done without bridges ,they connect  which is constructive activity ,a kindly act that gives you sense of reliability, how many things we can rely on in this world , i see we return to lord when we are heart broken by worldly measures ,how wonderful it may be if we realize from beginning that it is only lord who makes this work for us or not ,we eat fruit of our intentions rather than just actions mostly 
 

It is astonishing how harmony of nature create perfect environment for us to live and enjoy His blessings , trees seems like mother nature is holding bouquets for us to keep us cheerful and happy :) do we have insight to say "THANK YOU " in return through similar kindness ?

 i wonder what i have felt while standing here , probably i would have had a constant smile on my face and eyes filled with wetness ,gratefulness does this to me always 

no matter where we visit in the world ,we see people busy in taking photos ,everyone wants to bring pieces of what he or she experienced there :) 

My son adored the ferry tour most, i would have loved it too  :) i was never as close to water though i have visited beach of Karachi few times but being within water is still dream ,bit scary too may be ,i absolutely loved the shining on the surface of water ,seems like a warm kiss of loved one :) 

Precious friends keep being kind to yourself and all around you as this is Best and Most Important act in life .

See you all soon hopefully .Blessing to all of you !

Better Option And Visit To Faisal Mosque Islamabad

 

 Weather  is being  sweet  since  previous few days  for unknown  reason . Winters  are  short  and mild here in southern part of Pakistan . September  is starting point  of spring like weather before winters .My hearts find it enough to be happy and grateful  for this short period given to me called life which no one knows when will end suddenly without giving any warning :)

Being human being all i can do is try  to make my existence successful  by  staying on  side  where Creator has promised he will take care of me .Second thing i can do is to wait for my turn  calmly until something bad happens to me in this unpredictable weird place called world.

All i care about to stay positive with faith i have on my Maker and encourage all i love to do so as no other option seems better or reliable .

 Okay  i enough followed my habit of saying blah blah ,now to the post which  was postpones twice this week due to guests .

We  visited  Faisal  mosque during our stay  in Islamabad .Sharing some images  to give you glimpse 

Faisal mosque is  fifth largest mosque  in the world ,it is situated in the foothills of margalla hills Islamabad ,these are the westernmost  hills of Himalayas ,it's area is 33 acres and 10,000 worshipers can say their prayers at one time . It was around 5 pm when we arrived .i tried to take photos from each aspect this time so i can share  broadness and beauty of this magnificent mosque with you ,day was hot and humid but as sun downed all seemed cool and soothing despite of all the crowd ,it was second day after lock down lifted 

situation  of this mosque brings deep spirituality  when one gets there ,soothing lush hills  around relate so beautifully with the call of worship , i think nature's call to prayer makes each breath "worship" 

 

designed by a Turkish architecture Vedat Dalokay mosque broadens one's horizons with it's unconventional and astonishing  beauty ,it is hard to not awe and wonder how it was done with such excellence ,In Pakistan Faisal mosque is one of the most famous tourist destination and going there during each visit seems privilege , visit by people remains arbitrary round the clock  though number increases after sunset 

stone seats for visitors on some points though people mostly try to walk within  all the beautiful parts ,some like to walk over grass bare feet , most of people  spend  more time in taking selfies and photos (like me ) 

and like my elder son ,he was taking photos of his father constantly for facebook (that's what he said ) he was refusing when i tried to take his so i did not waste moment and capture him while clicking, teenagers are hard task indeed :) 

lawn along with mosque yard is huge ,we hardly explored it's front part ,and as usual captured some light moments :) life seems perfect when we see our loved ones smile ,though right next day hubby felt pain in stomach and long stressful process of hospital visits and tests got along , all is well if end is well so thanks to Lord that he felt better with each day after week and life smiled for us once again thankfully!

as it was getting dark people were storming to the mosque ,it was hard to find place with few visitors , if it was closed place ,voices that people made would have spoiled the ear for sure specially children ,but i was not upset with crowd this time ,i could relate to their excitement  after long annoying restrictions

you can sea image beaded with heads , it was first time i saw such crowd in mosque , it was time for call to prayer ,we sat aside  and absorbed that precious peaceful moment it was calm when call to prayer started immediately ,most of people headed to area where prayer was about to start 

Hubby and my younger son too joined them ,me and my young son waited for them while inhaling the sudden quietness and peace in the mosque ,it was divine moment 

 lights of  the mosque lit and seemed prays rising from praying hearts , absolute peace took away all the worldly thoughts for while , i felt my soul connected to my Creator deeply ,strongly ,divinely ,i wanted that moment to last longer but prayer finished and hubby and my son returned  and we had to leave for market and then for hotel for dinner 

i wondered how many such times do we get during our life when we can not just see or live life but Feel it !?

this time our visit to mosque was truly spiritual experience and i wish i can have it in future soon ,standing majestically among hills Faisal mosque invites visitors to bath their souls i believe 

Note 

Precious friends back in my native village a bad accident has happened recently ,i was informed yesterday and am in still shock ,a young girl was murdered by her own brother for the name sake of honor ,it is grieving and painful that such things still happens in this world .I will share details in some next post hopefully. Thoughts about her mother bursts my heart with pain who was my childhood friend ,hope you will pray for her so her heart can find peace ,amen!

blessings to all of you !please take great care  friends you are precious!
