When your life flashes before your eyes
From the Blog shaistathinks This December of 2014 when I went to Islamabad – I brought back with me to Manila all my greeting cards and letters, saved since as long as I remember! Oh what a flashback it was indeed! It was as if my life was passing by me in a jiffy! Some brought a smile, some a tear or two. Life is short and slipping away at a speed faster than we can ever catch up with. …and it got me thinking – It will be almost like the promised Day of Judgement where our life and deeds will be flashed before our eyes! I sincerely hope and pray that it’s a life worth looking at – in front of the One we all long to meet! Until that day – it’s a constant struggle of self learning and self improvement!

The worst victim of this historical insensitivity was the destruction of the lovely, bulbouspakistanblogs.blogspot.comRead Full Post
