Goodbye Facebook

I flirted with facebook for a while; for a very short while, which is to say about 3 weeks. Most of the postings were a bit too frivolous for me, not that that's not ok. If I had a lot more time to waste that is.. Maybe I could revisit it later, since I have that singular choice of not being able to divorce myself completely from it. I can only deactivate my account.

Before I go any further, here is a belated " Happy Eid" to every body.

I am happy that some people I have hoped would go to the sacred land have at last found the time to go. I have suspected for sometime that he was not so keen on going there for fear of instant retribution from the Almighty for all his sins. It turned out that this was exactly the reason why he has not found the courage to go. There are other people I know who think the same way, no thanks to people who like to spread the false notion that the moment one sets foot in Mecca one will immediately pay for one's sins. This negative selling of Mecca is silly and not doing the religion any good.
