Out of the Mist

Real Madrid is once again in the final of champions league. Real has made it very clear that they are ready for a showdown, geared up to make history by winning 3 trophies in a row  and Liverpool is seeking this prestigious award as they owe it to their fans.  For Liverpool its 13 years past overdue. Liverpool will play for sixth champions league glory when they take on champions Real Madrid who are seeking 13 th Champions League glory and potential 3 rd consecutive victory. Both teams have odds ranked up against each other and both are trying to come ahead. Real has  finished domestic league La Liga securing the third position, which is  worst in terms of points, being ranked down by rival Barcelona which happens to be  2018 Spanish Champ.  T here have been superstitions and speculation, lurking behind the curtain that every year that Real Madrid Basketball team has won Euro league Real Madrid has lost Champions league. Right now sitting here I felt like histo

The Cleveland Cavaliers will face off Celtics tonight in Game 4 of Eastern Conference finals at the Quicken Loans Arena.   This series has provided many ups and downs for the Cavs Squad. After Cavs beat the Raptors in an easy 4 Game series it was of the common perception that Cavs will be able to eliminate Boston in a one-sided quick series. But unlike Raptors, Celtics have no fear of the King. They were ready to go toe to toe against the Land. The Celtics holds home court advantage and they were able to beat Cavs in the first two Games at TD Garden. The worth noticing thing was how well Brad Stevens Squad was able to stop Lebron and his supporting cast on the defensive side. Despite that Celtics are down two all-star players due to injuries this season has been a miracle for the Boston side. Their young guns are doing outstanding and showing that they are here for the long haul. The series shifted to the Land and the young players of the Celtics were not up to the task. Cav

The most anticipated matchup of the 2017- 2018 NBA Play Offs is Rockets going against the potential all-time great, Warriors is here, and so far it has not let down the fans. When Kevin Durant joined the 73-win team two summers ago, it was believed that this team will make other teams look like a pile of garbage. And more so, it was true for the last season when they ran over the teams like it was nothing. No team opposed any threat to the mighty Bay Area. The most resistance they faced was by Spurs in 1 st half till Kawahi Leonard got injured by Zaza. All of the experts were of the opinion that other teams should give up for at least four years and try to rebuild their teams from the scratch because Golden State is not going anywhere. But Houston Rockets has other things on their mind. While most teams were tanking they took it upon themselves to dethrone Golden State, they made trades and make necessary adjustments to go up against the Warriors. Regular Season This regular se

Since we reach the age of understanding things, we think that feelings and concepts (undefined to us yet) that exist for reasons whatsoever, they should complete their purpose – perfection – which is impossible for a human to do. We are full of mistakes, we are uncertain, others expect a lot from us, and we can’t be everywhere. That is us trying not to disappoint them, and in doing so, we lose control of time – the unit of life. Love, Time, Death – the most important phenomenon in life. We feel for others, and we  love them in our unique ways. Soon the Time passes very quickly, and then you think of death – leaving everything behind. Just some moments before the death, you think of all the things you have done and for what?  So, right at this moment, when you are alive, living the life you only think of doing the right things, the right decisions that will lead you to not regret in that last moment of your life.  Focusing on what is that we have right now?  A

The wind was getting stronger, And the prints were too ragged, The hope was fickle, so were odds, And hapless soul was too shagged, Deaf, blind and a monk naked, As pure at heart as diamantine, The sun was raging and sand agitated, Burning at heart searched for divine, The shadows were raging and alive, And prints were lost in storm of time, The wind was wild, with a mirage in sight, And digs too seemed like a hard climb, Hope was fading, the vision was blurred, He prayed to Lord, not to be turned, The Soul of the world he said he earned, He got robbed, brighter he burned, A hand entered his frame of vision, He looked up to the ray of light, The soul shattered, so did my dream, There I sat, cogitating all night!

The world is a pit! Consider me a cynic, bitter and hostile if you want but the truth is, we all are just fuel of the world. I come, I live, I go. I don't get to choose my origin, I am where I am supposed to be. I live by the rules of my origination. I am the self, I am imagination. I am all, I am none. I once thought I am not just a fickle flame that can be put out by a gust of wind. The origins don't matter, what matters is the act of a man. An act is what defines me. But you may disagree. Well disagree all you want but the whole point of life is based on disagreement. You and me! We can't be a mirror image. You may not like my origin, you may hate my environment, you may disagree with my whatever comes out of my mouth, and you definitely can disaccord with my perspective on life, still, it is my life.

Moments of Weakness was an effort to remeber the moment of Deja Vu. When you think you are living the moments and then its gone, but that exact moments shows the significance of the meeting, which is Simple, Pure, Illuminating and Honest to death. As the Night grows old, A corpse rots in bitter cold, But the stars are wide awake, Above the cursed lake, Still! There I stand, With hand in hand, It’s about time to choose, Who I want to lose, Oh! Sweet haunting past, Beloved mine, whom I lost, Or the future thee, Oh! Bitter glaring thee, Darkness that’s glowing inside, Light that’s brought by the tide, The decision can’t alone be mine, While the chalice is still full of wine, The corpse is too gentle, With a touch, so parental, I dare not refuse, With a lot to lose, I miss the ruse, The songs, the blues, The stars are awake, And night grows old, Let’s go take our last howl at the moon, The corpses may not meet again so soon!

There are good days and then there are bad days, but to be fair, days are all the same. The difference lies between lines of the day's events. The motivation for this article was a highlight that appeared on social media, "Iran hangs first of the four-man involved in the bank scandal". Exposed in 2011, the 30 trillion-rial ($2.7 billion) scandal involved embezzlement, bribery, forgery, and money-laundering in 14 state-owned and private banks between 2007 and 2010 by people close to the political elite, the affair severely damaged the reputation of Ahmadinejad and his entourage towards the end of his eight-year presidency. Mehafarid Amir-Khosravi, described as a self-made tycoon, was hanged in Tehran's Evin Prison on Saturday after the Supreme Court upheld the four death sentences. Another incident worth mentioning is of Chen Shui-bian , former President of the Republic of China, who stepped down on May 20, 2008, the same day that Ma Ying-jeou took offic

There was a time when there were very few television channels and the content sharing was subjected to scrutiny in order to ensure the quality of the content. With the advancement of information technology and communication networks, news channels and our media thrived and progressed much more in a short span of time. But as the competition grew intense the quality of content declined. It is a fact that our media is greatly influenced by so-called modernism and some extra shots of contemporaneousness. Don’t get me wrong, I merely wanted to state the fact that in spite of living in an Islamic Republic State, we can’t seem to grasp the concept of it. What rubbish has been shared under the banner of “Breaking News”, everybody knows it. Most of the time you can’t even watch the news with the family sitting around. Well, I said way too much in order to lay the foundation but the one thing that urged me to write this article is the act of blasphemy committed in Geo TV’s mo
