Aisha is probably one of the oldest and certainly the 'finest' blog writer in desi blog world. Its very easy to blog pictures, uselessinfo.com, political opinions, videos, summer trips etc. but to write a meaningful, balanced, smooth and flawless post is another thing. She sits at top of my blog roll. As this blog is all about 'Zindagi", here is one of her recent post which I enjoyed thoroughly. On side note, she is one of the most voracious reader I ever know - which explains a lot!
It's a silly story but true. In fifth grade walking to school I thought about prayer and faith and felt slightly doubtful. God, I prayed as I walked, if you exist, for real-you will make my teacher absent for a whole week. I felt fairly confident this would not happen as my teacher reminded us at every opportunity about her perfect attendance record, how she had only taken two days off in ten years. I went to class, sat at my desk, and then, my teacher cleared her throat and told us she was taking the next week off. She told us why but I don't remember the reasons, I just remember sitting at my desk, my mouth parted in shock as everyone high fived and grinned at one another. A miracle, I thought. God, you really answered my prayer. Yes, it sounds silly, but for so many years that moment buoyed me when the waters were rocky, did my prayer cause it? Did I get inspired to pray for a thing that would happen anyways? I didn't know but the fact that it happened before my eyes gave me certainty in a being greater than us, and of prayers, that they are answered. I loved the feeling of inner peace and certainty I had- someone was listening, someone was answering, a big warm hug from above."
