Finally there is loads of activity in my life. Many new beginnings and many more old endings. I dont know if what i said is right, it makes sense to me.
Ramadan has started, so has my hijab. Had a very intresting talk about hijab with Dr.M. Well I think I should stick to it, one way or the other. Atleast it is not a sin, I have no feeling of guilt. My fasting is also going well. My OPT is here, just have to go pick it up. The i-94 is here too. My thesis date has been set tentatively.
I hope and pray everything goes fine. I know there are a few things I am not happy about, with myself. It has to do with my thesis, but I have come so far, to go back now will be devastating, but then I also feel guilty about it.
I hope these mistakes of mine are forgiven and I am allowed to move on to the next level by God. I will try to do a perfect job of anything I take up in future.
And I hope I stay on the right path.

Screenshot of my Life
Let me start this blog with a little bit of philosophy - my kind of philosophy
I am coming to believe that the more we know, the more there is to learn. One can never quit being a student, and if you do, you quit growing.The first and most important virtue of a student should be humility. You have to feel humble, think humble, speak humble and act humble. And it irritates me no end when someone does not behave humble.
This is what is happening with the people around me at work. We are all in a learning process, and if you are an expert you don't belong in the class room. I am doing installations. Many things creep up. The best and most accurate solutions to my queries are given by people who brag the least.
I hope I never lose my humility at any stage of my life.
I am looking forward to Ramadan. Will start wearing Hijab. I am excited and happy about my decision. I hope I find the strength to follow thru with it. This might be the biggest life style change I ever make. I hope God accepted my repentance for my sins. I am also happy with my prayers. At last I am praying regularly.
Sid is back. I told him about the Hijab and he told me 'If that makes you happy, do it'. And I think my prayers are being answered about making him get back on track with his spirituality . He is also thinking about reclaiming his faith. He admitted to it and asked if I had anything to do with it. I said yes, I have been hoping and praying for it for a year now.
And I have a lot of proving to do. At work a couple of people are in not so many words challenging me. I am learning but I want to be good enough to out do them. I hope God gives me the strength, the will and the patience.
