Wish NUMBERO UNO

There have been times when I have sunk knee-deep in the dark waters that ever so frequently consume my mind and then when I have thought about death and when I have wanted it; the only thing that has stopped me, has not been my family, my passion to write, the many dreams I want to realize, my friends, the love I have, it has been my RELIGION. I was born a Muslim and I thank Almighty Allah for that, whenever I came near to commiting suicide, the thought that it is forbidden in Islam crossed my mind and I stopped, by the grace of Almighty Allah.
Today I am glad I did stop because if I had gone on and taken away everything from myself with my own hands how would I have seen the many beautiful things that I have today. I know it cannot be possible for me to ever do for it, what my religion has done for me but I can try, so I want to educate the world and tell them about Islam. To put it in the simplest possible way, I could say that Islam is moderation, moderation in life, we have been asked by Almighty Allah to practise moderation in everything we do, spend money, grieve, enjoy, love, work, pray and even eat. I want to clear the whole world's misconceptions about my religion, because when Islam forbids it, how can a Muslim be an EXTREMIST in the name of Islam???

Wish NUMBER TWO

I must say that I am one of the luckiest people in the world, because I took my first ever step, there were hands to steady my walk if I took a shaky start. There were lips whose movements I could imitate when I helplessly tried to utter my first sensible word, there are arms I can wrap around myself when the world makes me feel that I am a burden, there are shoulders I can cry on to lighten my heavy heart, I have parents.
I pray to Almighty Allah that when my parents need me, I can provide them the comfort they provided me with when I wanted it the most. I wish I can take them for pilgrimage to the Holy Ka'baa, go with them and also take my brother. I pray that I become the steady step that they know will always make the end of every path they tread on concrete and this is one of my wishes.

Wish NUMBER THREE
"Words that live deep within me I wish I could bring to life,
like a wordsmith may I shape my stories and continue my strife."

When this power was exposed to me, I forgot about everything else, who cares about winning races and running fast when there are worlds you could create with words. I want to write the best stories ever and bring my imagination to life, in a way that it becomes an inspiration for others. There are days, I hang my head and wish I was not born and then in my blog I shed all my sadness through words, their beauty makes me forget about all my troubles. I want to give back and write the best-seller that could also make me cry with the rest of the world when they come and tell that my story could give them a smile or relief or just a metaphorical shoulder. Dreaming big is no crime, the crime is to dream big and not work hard to realize the BIG dream.



Wish NUMBER FOUR
"Like an empty canvas I hang and wait for a touch of yellow,
so as a golden girl I can walk out proud and walk on with my words."

This is a WDC oriented wish, since I joined I have had a great wish in the depth of my heart, to acquire a yellow case. I have prayed to go yellow while prostrating, when standing, when going to sleep, everywhere and always and I am sure this wish would come true someday,Insha Allah!
I have worked hard, writing poems and editing them after reviews and everyday I wish, I just wish that I log in and read a message in my inbox that says,"Congratulations!You are now yellow!" Alas, there have been many moments when I thought today it will happen, it certainly will and it has not but I can not lose hope, not so easily, there will be a day when my port changes colour.

Wish NUMBER FIVE
"Let me too shine in the sky and touch the highest peaks of achievement,
let me become a rising star and walk on and on, still I have gone far."

So, yes, WDC really is a a big part of my life and after all my dreams about yellow, I still am black and what is that wish which burns brightly in the heart of every black case to become a Rising Star, call me desperate but every heart has ambitions, so has mine. I have worked hard to get noticed and sometimes I just get disappointed that I won't, but then comes another thought that asks me to keep working harder so that someone notices me and I too get an awardicon from a program that rewards deserving writers. I am not looking for people to take pity and sponsor me, I am just being true about what I want to accomplish and that is just what I am supposed to do. I am working hard and I know and someday Insha Allah that will show.


Wish NUMBER SIX
"When tears fall from your eyes and the only shadow in your room is yours,
don't think you really are alone for from some corner I'll be watching."

Depression is sooo evil and that is being sad from experience, I might sound like I am some old lady who has seen too much of life from the way I talk, but I really AM A TEENAGER. So we were talking about depression,hmm, I know what it is, how cold, consuming and deadly it is and there are so many people here in Pakistan who don't know about it, suffer from it but cannot identify their illness;I want to educate them, lessen their pain and help them fight, because we all have the strength to fight, we just don't realize. This is another accomplishment I dream of, for it surely it would be an accomplishment if I am able to help even one sufferer.

Wish NUMBER SEVEN

"In my heart lies a dream, a dream I want to realize,
and surprise them all when I stand out and shine."

This one is a very childish wish, my family tells me I have no confidence and I just love being on the stage even if my legs shake and my knees wobble. The stage is the only place where I feel a bit sure of myself, there I can face people I would die rather than talk to face to face in real life. I lurrvveeee public speaking and would loooove to be an RJ-Radio Jockey, I love talking, non-stoppp, so that is one career I want to embark on.

Wish NUMBER EIGHT

Now it is time for the worldly wishes, come on!Everyone has them!I waaant to attend an A-ha concert, sooo much. Sing with them, dance to them, let my hair down, party, jump up and down and kiss the sky. Woohoo!I can almost see Morten Harket (the vocalist) who is one of the most handsome men that I have seen,(40+) but great!And that their guitarist is a writer!I I would love to attend their concert.


Wish NUMBER NINE

Ok, I have a novel idea, haven't we all?I want to write Exile!A great emotional story of a family and sign a copy of it for my favourite actors, who are Johnny Depp, Sanjay Dutt and Owen Wilson. I want these celebrities to read my book and love it and dine with me and then we can all go to my favourite place in the world, Silver Spoon for a great "chat" which is something. I know this is a very childish wish, but ooh well...

Wish NUMBER TEN

The last wish, the big fish, I mean wish, I want to become a newspaper editor, my dreeeaaam job haaa, then there is also the wish that I accomplish all these things that I want to accomplish. As a newspaper editor I would be able to read, write and critique and serve people in a little way which will be by giving them a voice, to talkk about their troubles , achievements, life and everything which I wish to be able to talk about but can't!

In the end, I would like to thank, Princess Megan Rose 10 Years for making me think about what I want to accomplish this was the most refreshing soul search and I really hope this just does not stay wishful thinking, Insha Allah!
