Curse on South African Cricket Team

Today, my blog is about all the cures that some cricket teams carry with them all cricket lovers and those who watch cricket will know what I am talking about. We all know how South Africa is known as “chokers”.

They have always been one of the best sides in cricket history. Every time them come into the cricket ground, they show how superior they are to the other cricket teams. Every time they enter in a World Cup or any other tournaments, they start with a bang. All are so strong against the oppositions that the matches become one-sided. Everyone starts predicting that it is going to be South Africa who is going to win the tournament. But wait a minute, now comes the curse part of this South African team. As soon as they enter into knock out rounds, the opposition knows that they are going to win it.

No matter how inferior that team is in from of the mighty South Africans, but they know that there is some kind of curse on this South African team that doesn’t let them wins when they get into knock out stages.

It happened first time in 1992 Cricket World Cup quarter final.  That match was tied and Australia was given victory through run rate basis. In the 1996 Cricket World Cup quarter final, they lost to Sri Lanka. Yet again, they had a tie and Sri Lanka was qualified on run rat basis. Later the ICC realized that it was South African who should have gone to the semi final and not Sri Lanka because their run rat was better and it was a big mistake in calculations. Then they went to 1999 Cricket World Cup with a hope to bring the cup home this time. But by that time, they didn’t know that they were going to make a hat rick to get into quarterfinals and get kicked out form there for the third time. This time they were against Australians. This time they tried everything to win this time and qualify for semifinals. They needed 1 run to win from 4 balls and they had the worst run out of all time and Australians qualified for the semis and yet again South Africans were kicked out. Now they had realized that something was wrong with their team because going to quarterfinal with no sweat in three World Cups in a row and losing those quarterfinals could not be a coincidence. Then they came to 2003 World Cup, and nothing was going to be different this time either. This time was out even before qualifying for they quarterfinals.  It wasn’t like they were a weak team in 2003, they were among the most favorite teams to win that 2003 World Cup, but they were not even able to make it to quarterfinals. Then they went 2007 and 2011 World Cups, and sadly, the results were same. They went there as one of the best teams and they were kicked out from quarterfinals. This shows that there is something with this team that stops them from winning in knockout stages. 

Books I Want to Write

There are so many people who want to write books. What is different between all those people is what they want to write about. When I say what they want to write about, it is a very complex topic.

Books have so much variety that when an author has to decide what he/she wants to write about, he/she has to think about various things. Is it going to be a fiction or non-fiction? What genre will it have? Who will be the target audience? How long would it be? And so many other questions that an author has to answer before he/she starts writing a book. But I want to do something different. I have certain things in my mind that I want share with world. I am not very experienced with book writing, but I know one thing that none of my books will ever be fiction. I don’t believe in writing a fiction book.

I am not against any of the writers who write fiction books. There are some brilliant pieces of work that authors showed in fiction books. They have been very successful as well. Some of the great examples of fiction books would be A Tale of Two Cities, The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. The approximate sale of just these three fiction books is over 450 million.  

There are many other examples which have been hugely successful and liked by the readers, but I want to write books that or none fiction and which hold the reality of life. I have so much to express to the entire world. I have many messages that I want to be heard by the people around the world. There are so many life experiences that I want to share with the entire world. I also want to write about religions, love, friendship, life and so many other various topics.

Throughout my entire life, I have been a very quiet person. I only talked to people who were very close to my heart. I never shared anything with anyone. I always had so much to say, but I guess I had not courage to say it. I wanted to change so many things by talking to people, but when I tried, people flunked me. And subsequently, I became afraid repeating it against due to my past failure. But now I have decided, what I could not do by talking, I will do that with my writing.

As the great Mahatma Gandhi said, “Words are stronger than swords,” I completely believe in that.  I will use my writing to open people’s minds from misconceptions that they have about so many things. I will use my writing to express my entire life. I will use my words to express all the experiences I went through, and I will also write how others can avoid all the problems and bad experiences I have gone through. Many people say that I am a great philosopher. They say my words have the power to approach people’s hearts and minds.  Therefore, I will do what I am born to do, I will write several books on the topics I mentioned above. However, if I ever come with an awesome idea to for a fiction book, I would definitely try to write it because there is nothing wrong in producing some good piece of writing. 

Technology that Empowers Me

There are so many new technologies out there. There are also many technologies, which have been out there since a while. To be honest, I like all the technologies that have been invented so far. If someone tries to list all the technologies that are there, he/she would pass out, but the list wouldn’t end. Let’s talk about computers.

Computers were invented long time ago. They have been innovated throughout the decades, especially since the last decade, computers have changed dramatically. These days, Apple computers are on the top. They just have everything to offer. Either it’s a desktop or laptop; they are just simply the best. Since I just mentioned an Apple product, I should also list few more products of Apple, which are on sky high at present. Let’s move on to telephones.

When I say telephone, it sounds a bit tacky, doesn’t it? May be because this is the era of cell phones. When I talk about cell phones, it is another technology that has been innovating dramatically throughout last few decades. Now cell phones have reached a next level. They are not a product for talking, but they can offer much more than that. Today’s cell phones offer wide variety of features such as texting; touch screen, HD video recoding and digital photos with built in camera. It also offers high speed Wi-Fi and several other amazing features. And as I said, another Apple product that is one sky high is Iphone.

Apple also offers some other amazing products like iPod and iPad. iPod leaves all the other mp3, mp4, and all audio and video entertainment products. It offers possibly as many features as you could ever find in an mp3, mp4 or any of those things. And lastly, Apple also came up with another great product, which is called iPad. iPad is same as iPod, the only difference between iPod and iPad is that iPad has a bigger screen. Well not just a little bigger, it has a way bigger screen.

Camcorder and digital SLR cameras also drives me crazy. I go insane not in a bad way, but rather in a positive way because it’s just incredible to have such amazing technology around you. Being able to capture all the moments in your life and such high quality is just incredible.

Being a young guy, I just can’t afford to forget the most amazing thing mankind ever created, and that is the video game systems. PS3, Xbox 360 and similar systems like those are the lives of people in this era. It is just amazing how people came up with such cool things. Every time I am in front of my television and playing video games, I always wonder how people made such amazing things it this world. There is just too much to mention when it comes to technology.

All in all, I just admire and adore all the technology that is around me. However, after having said all that, I would also like to mention that people around this world miss use the super technology around use that causes mankind in a huge and dramatic way. An example of that would be atomic bombs, but I wouldn’t go in details about that because this blog is about the technology that empowers me, not the technology that is the cause of mankind’s destruction. 

Ways I Embrace My Audience

There are various ways that people use to hold their audience. I do it with my writing. Although, some people say that I can hold people’s attention with my personality. Some say that I can do it by other various things. But I believe that to hold audiences’ attention, writing plays a huge role. There have been several examples when inspiring people came and inspired the whole world with their inspirational words. What makes me a strong candidate when it comes to writing is that I have a very strong command of persuasive writing. I am really good with expressing my feelings, emotions and everything that I want to express.

It all started with my letters. When I wrote a letter to my English teacher, who was leaving the school due to her pregnancy, she was the first person who told me that I have magic in my writing. I was so stunned to get that remark from her because at that time, I could not even write one sentence without a grammar or spelling mistake.  I told her that she is kidding with me and how could that be. But she told me that although I am really weak in English and I have a long way to go, but she said, “I am not talking about how good you are in English, what I am saying is that you are amazing in expressing your emotions and feelings through writing.” I didn’t understand what she really meant, but now so many years after, I know what a deep sentenced she said to me.

After her, my dad was the second one who said that I have magic in my writing. After him, it was my love of life and when she said it, I trusted her that yes, I do have something in my writing that not everyone has. When I realized that I could express so much through my writing, I worked harder to improve my writing. Now I believe that I am good enough to write legibly, I feel that writing is one of my strongest ways to embrace my audience. I have a strong feeling that I can do a lot with my writing. I have already made many people smile, cry, laugh, giggle and change from a bad person to good. Other than writing, I am also strong in communicating with people in person.

I can also embrace my audience by signing. Yes, it sounds a bit awkward, but is a fact. I have done it several times in past and I am very confident that I can do it again. I believe that just like writing, music has its own magic in it. It has power to express. It has the power to make anyone cry, smile, laugh, giggle. It can make a simple person into a gangster, and a gangster into a simplest guy.

Therefore, these are my three strongest ways to embrace my audience. I can write, sing or just communicate with them in person to get a hold of them.  It sounds very simple as I am writing, but I know that it is one of the hardest things in the world. I know that I will have to go through many obstacles to accomplish in this goal. But I am confident and I believe in myself. And most of all, all my loved once believe that I have the potential to do it, after that, nothing can be difficult.

When I Feel Frustrated

There are times when I feel extremely frustrated. My brain stops workings and nothing seems to go in my way. In those moments of frustration, everything has a negative approach to me. Everything seems hopeless and I only want to give up on everything.

I am sure I am not the only one who goes through this. Everyone must have felt these strange feelings several times in their lives, but what people don’t know is how to come out of it. When nothing works out, I try to do what calms me down.

There are many things people can do to decrease the stress and frustration level. It is different for every individual. There are several things that I do when I get those strange feelings of frustration. Sharing it with a close friend or person would be the first thing that comes in everyone’s mind. Whenever we are sad or upset or just frustrated about something, if we have someone very close whom we can share it with, that is probably the best thing to calm you down. But many people hesitate to share their problems or whatever that is causing them to be upset or frustrated. In fact many people don’t even have a special person. Someone they think is very close their heart and they can share anything and everything with them. Many people are not blessed like some others are. So what to do when you have don’t have the option of sharing your problems with someone else?

Well, as far as I am concerned, music is the way to go. When I feel frustrated, I go listen to my favorite music. A music that relates to my problems that is causing that frustration. For me, it is mostly sad songs. Sometimes they even make me cry, but after a while, that burden that I was keeping inside goes away. I listen to sad music because that is what I like. I listen to songs where I can relate to the lyrics. For me, listening to music works for me as sharing my problems with a close friend. I feel so much better after listening to music as if I shared my problems with a very close friend. Workout is my second best way to come out of frustration. Whenever I am upset about something or something is really bugging me, I hit the gym right away. Although researchers said that workout lowers your stress level, I never believed it until I felt it myself. Many times I was upset for various reasons. I didn’t know what to do.

One day I was frustrated due to financial problems and I decided to go to gym to see if the researchers are actually correct about their claims. After an hour workout, I realized that it really works. Working out really lowers your stress level. I don’t know how it works, but I definitely know that it works. It is even better when you do a little boxing along with workout. I tried it many times and it always seemed to work out. The best way to take out my anger is workout and boxing.

One last thing that works for me like magic is swimming. Many people would laugh after reading this that how can swimming calm me down when I can’t swim, I should instead frustrate me even further. But this is what you call the magic of swimming. As soon as I jump in to water, I feel like all my worries just eradicated from my life.  Thirty minutes in the swimming pool and my body and brain relaxes to a such level that I feel like motivated to do something else. These are three things that help me when I feel frustrated. There must be many other ways for other people. Like I said, every individual has different taste. What works for me might not work for you and what works for you might not work for me. But the bottom line is, there are many things we can do to fight against the stress and frustration we get in our daily lives.

How I Use Facebook

Facebook is the most popular social networking website. As it’s been said that if Facebook were a country, it would have been the third largest country in the world in terms of the population of it. Most of the people I know, they are all obsessed for Facebook. However, I am a little different. I don’t use Facebook for socializing; the only reason why I use Facebook is networking. I used to love it in my high school days, but subsequently, my interest towards Facebook just died. I used to be on Facebook literally 24/7. People could see my status changing in almost 30 minutes gape. Even when I would be sleeping, I would write on my status “Going to sleep”. In fact if I would wake up in the middle of the night, first thing I used to do was to go to Facebook and update my status, read comments, comment on people’s photos, status, posts and so on. But now, everything has changed. I can’t say it is because now I am a grown up kid. I know a million people who are my age or even older than me, and they are just completely obsessed about.

The reason I changed completely is because I realized it is useless and risky as well. I realized that thanks to Facebook, MSN, Yahoo and all these kinds of technologies, people are actually staying far from each other. I realized that due to Facebook, I was not able to chitchat with my friends in person. I could not go out and walk with them. We would always end up talking on Facebook or other socializing websites. I felt so bad when I realized all this. I felt like losing my friends and all the people whom I could meet in person, but would always prefer chit chatting through these socializing websites and software.

I deactivated my Facebook account and went back to old school life. But subsequently, I started modeling and related fields to it. Now I had to have a Facebook account or such to contact other models and agency people and so on. Therefore, I made a new Facebook account where I only have models, classmates, co-workers and other networking people. However, I didn’t add my best friends to my Facebook account because I don’t want them to be part of my Facebook world, I want them to be part of my real world. Now I have many socializing and networking websites, but they are only there for networking and other such related reasons.

After saying all that above, I want to say that I do like Facebook, through Facebook, I met one of the best people in this world. Subsequently, they became my life and everything. We talked first time because of Facebook and every time I think about that, I want to thank that person who created it because if it weren’t there, I wouldn’t have the person whom I love the most in this world.

Therefore, I have mix reactions for everything and Facebook is just another one of those. I dislike it for certain reasons, but then I complexly adore it for some beautiful memories of my life. As the say, there is nothing perfect in this world. Everything has good and bad things in it. I should say that there are no bad things in Facebook if people use it in a proper way, however, if people make it the most important thing of their lives and express all the secrets of their lives. Always keep it up to date and write all the personal stuff in it, Facebook can be a disaster and can lead you to some serious problems. That is one of the biggest reasons why I dislike it, otherwise, Facebook is good and I personally like it. But I rarely use it, and use it for what it’s made of.

What I love About My Family

Hmmmm! So what I love about my family? Well, just like any other person in this world, I love everything about my family. But then pause, everyone doesn’t like everything about their family. When one asks the other, what do you like about your family, the answer comes “I love everything about them” But somehow, they know it is not true, there are many things that we dislike about our families.

This reveals when we are mad and talking to someone close to us. That is when we just reveal everything. Many people must have gone through this, when they go like this, “I hate my family.” They are so annoying and not cooperating at all.” Or there could be other things individuals say about their families when they are stress or upset. But as I said in the beginning of my blog, I love everything. Yes, sometimes they do get a big annoying. Sometimes they piss me off. Sometimes they hurt me. There are times when they are not the most cooperative people in the world. There are times when they make me cry. But what is funny is that it is all part of a family. This is what I love. When I am far away from them, yes I miss how they care about me. How they love me. How they can do anything for me. But it is just not limited to that, I also miss the arguments and fights we have. I miss when they make me cry and hurt me so much, but then come back and make me the happiest. I miss how they do everything. But what I love most about them is how they love me. How they care about me. How they are always there for me when the entire world leaves me.

I remember when I got very sick. I had this weird kind of sickness that I don’t even know the name of. In that sickness, I turned into the most hideous guy in the world. My whole body was filled with so many pimples that I didn’t want to see my face. Everyone used to run away from me thinking that it is contagious and they will get it from me. Yes, they were kind a right, it was a bit contagious, but the way they treated me was awful. They all left me behind, as I never existed. In fact, some of my closest friends left me all alone. The entire world left me behind. It was only my family who always stood there. They not only stood there for me, but they also took great care of me. They did everything that they could possibly do for me.

This is not the only example; there are many, many more examples that show what my family has done for me. This is the reason why I love everything about my family. They come before anyone else and mean the world to me. If I have the entire world and all the happiness around it with me, but not my family, I wouldn’t have anything. But if I have nothing, but my family is with me, I’ll have everything.

A community that I love

A Community that I love is a very vague and complex topic to express. It is probably the most difficult thing to express. But on the other hand, it is as simple as this; I love a community where everything is filled with love, peace and harmony between each other.

I want a community where people respect each other and ready to die for each other. I want a community where youngsters respect their elders. Where people value love, faithfulness, respect, peace and help.

When I close my eyes and try to imagine a community where I would feel like a heaven on earth, this is what I see. I see that I am in a small village. It is not very established. It doesn’t have tall buildings and towers. It doesn’t have cell phones and socializing websites like Facebook, Twitter and etc.

Weather of this village is just perfect. One day it is cloudy cloudy, the other day sunny and next day a bit rainy. The temperature is always good. It stays between 15c to 24c. There is a lot of greenery in this village. A place where there is no place for crime. A place where there is no place for fights.

I want a community where there is a girl who loves a more than anything else in this world. She is so faithful to me that even if an angel comes from sky and asks her to be his, she would always say that no I only belong to Ibad. A community where my girl would love my family more than her own, and my family would love her more than her family. If one day I would get sick along with my mom, my girl would help my mom first and after me. I want a community where my life would be full of love and colors. I community where there would not be any kind of jealousy between anyone. The community that I would love would have love, care, devotion, passion and everything that brings people close to each other.

My community would be full of joy and happiness. The only thing my community will lack at would be crime; hatred, jealousy and everything that makes people hate each other or bring distance between two people. But then I take a pause and realize that technology and establishment of my community would be also very essential. I mentioned above that my community won’t be very established and it won’t have cell phones and other socializing technology because they kind of take people away from each other, rather than bringing them closer. That is the only reason why I don’t want all those kinds of technologies in my community.

However, I do want other great things that mankind have invented. Some of those would be televisions, camcorders and digital cameras, satellite, airplanes, and so many other cool and essential technologies. In short, I would want my community to have everything and not lake in anything, but at the same time, I would want it to be different and loving and always gathered together with each other. That is what I would call a perfect community. I know many people would say “What the heck” after reading this blog, but everyone individual has his/her own opinions and believes, therefore, this is what I believe in and this is what I want in my life.

How I Find Blogging Ideas:

It is going to be a bit funny, but I find my blogging ideas out of the blue. I don’t know if other people also go through the same experience, but in my case, when I try to brainstorm, I just can’t come up with any idea.

No matter how hard I try, I just can’t come up with anything. But when I am lost in my thoughts or when I am about to go to sleep, I come up with the most awesome ideas anyone could ever come.

I remember, I was suppose to design a website along with my group. My group was not able to come up with any ideas, so they asked me to think of something really cool. I brainstormed for a very long time, but nothing worked. I asked my group members to give me some, but nothing came up there either. Therefore, I went to sleep and as I was about to fell asleep, I found some of the best ideas in the world. I went to my group members on the following morning, and told them about my ideas for our website. I was astonished when they told me that my idea was just totally awesome. But that wasn’t for the first time; I had been to the similar situations many times before.

That is how I find blogging ideas. It sounds a bit awkward, but it is the silly fact. But other than that, I try to come up with blogging ideas, which are short, interesting and relevant. I want to write blogs to which people can connect. I don’t want to write something where people read it to pass time or just to see my writing ability. I want to write blogs where people can relate to it. I want to write my blogs about such topics what people want to read about. I want to talk about things that other people or bloggers don’t usually talk about. Like few days back, I wrote a blog called “someone has to say it”, and in that blog, I wrote stuff that people usually don’t find on Internet. I wrote stuff to which people can connect and relate to.

But other than that, Internet is also a great thing to search for blogging ideas. There are tons of blogging ideas that I find on a regular basis. Although I said that I like using my own unique ideas, but sometimes Internet blogging ideas can be really helpful. The best way to find blogging ideas on Internet is to Google “blogging topics”. But all in all, writing unique blogs is what I love the most. Internet ideas are cool and take my frustration away, but what viewers and I love the most is the uniqueness of my blogs.  I would like to suggest everyone who is reading this blogs that please try to think of unique ideas. If something comes from your heart that is worth a million dollar. Well more than a million dollar. Internet ideas are awesome, but if you think something unique from your heart, that would be priceless. 

Why am I NOT obsessed with Facebook?

I know a number of people who are extremely obsessed with Facebook. So many of my friends, cousins and other relatives go on Facebook before getting up from their beds.

They constantly keep themselves busy on Facebook and this obsession goes on the entire day. Last thing they do before sleeping is also Facebook. This is what many people do when they are just about to fall asleep, " I am about to sleep in 5 seconds" LOL.

But on the other hand, Facebook has never been an obsession for me. When I tell this to my friends, they say that it's because I am a loner and I don't have no life. But it is not true, I have many, many people on my Facebook, who are always writing on my wall, sending me messages in my inbox and commenting on my photos regularly. But I still don't feel that obsession towards Facebook and I still recommend to use msn live messenger, is just awesome!

P.S. I know I wrote random stuff here about Facebook. For Facebook lovers, I am sorry, I was in class and we were suppose to write a blog about anything and we only had five minutes so I wrote whatever that came in my mind.

But to be honest, please don’t use Facebook as an obsession. It is not good for your health and also wastes a lot of time. I would also like to advise all the people that please do not put your personal info in your Facebook accounts because it might lead you to some serious danger. There have many examples when people were robbed, girls were rapped and kidnapped and some were also got killed and according to the investigators, inappropriate use of Facebook was the reason behind them. Therefore, I would urge everyone to have all the fun on Facebook, but never make it an obsession and never put any info or stuff that can lead you to trouble.
