Dear Anas, Bought a copy of your "The Quran & I" and re-read the articles (have read them before since I am a follower of your blog). I'm definitely not much of a reviewer but I think every effort taken to improve the sad status quo of unity and racial harmony in the country must be celebrated. You are also very frank about some of the struggles you faced growing up. Many sounded very familiar and strike many chords with my own experiences. Congratulations Anas!

Let us learn about each other's religion, culture and way of life
We know too little about each other’s traditions, way of life and beliefs.
In fact many amongst us may not even know about our own spiritual traditions, scripture and core religious foundation. Most times we delegate our thinking to our religious teachers and later complain about how they go about doing their job.
A few friends and I have decided to remedy this. We launched a campaign to encourage everyone regardless of faith to read the Quran. The campaign is from January 15th to February 14th.
I intend to ADD VALUE to everyone and anything that I come to interact with and make the world a better place.
As this is an unending journey, I will never achieve my dreams … not in their fullest form. They are too far away in the idealistic world... but,
" The quest of truth will set you free, even if you never catch up with it".
I am one of those dreamers who have found a practical formula of living for today (compartmentalization) and try to achieve parts of my dreams a moment at a time, part by part. It is okay to die without achieving all the lofty dreams, as the spirit will be passed on to others, who are dreamers too.
I also plan to be rich, very rich! Not for the money but for the use of money as a platform to help me achieve my ideals.
God willing, you will see advertisements in the near future communicating universal values and spirituality by ZUBEDY the Brand. (check out http://www.zubedy.com/)
Encourage schools and libraries and sponsor the poor's basic needs of food, shelter and education.
I hope to live to a century or two with healthy living, modern medicine and God's permission. Lead a full life, have many children. But not necessarily sired by me. Travel the world to witness God's creation and be at awe with the creativity that greets us wherever and whenever we turn.
I want to smell all the fragrance in the world be it the stink of the squatters in Mumbai or the pleasing scent of devotional flowers at a Balinese lebaran.
And to know that each experience has a purpose which is to ADD VALUE to the living, the dead and the unborn.
