Exclusive Recipe

Chicken Cholay

- 225 g.   chick peas, soaked overnight and drained
- 1 liter water
- 1\2 level tsp. bicarbonate of soda
- 1\4 cup oil
- 2 medium onions, skinned and finely chopped
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chop
- 1 level tsp. chili powder
- 1\2 level tsp. ground turmeric
- 1\2 level tsp. ground coriander
- 1 level tsp. salt
- 1 level tsp.  garam masala
- 2-3 tbsp. finely chopped fresh coriander leaves
Put the chick peas in a large heavy-based saucepan, add the water and the bicarbonate of soda and bring to  boil. Stir any froth that may form back into the chick peas. Cover the pan and boil the chick peas for about 2 hours until they are tender but still retain their shape. This process can be speeded up in a pressure cooker. Use half the quantity of water. (Follow the manufacturer's instructions for timing.) Once the chick peas have become tender keep them in the boiled water. It will be used at a later stage.
2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the finely chopped onions, ginger and green chili. Stirring frequently, fry the mixture for 10-15 minutes until well browned. Add the chili powder, turmeric, ground coriander, salt and 3-4 tablespoons water . Stir fry for another few minutes.
3. Pour the cooked chick peas and liquid into the onion mixture. Stir well to mix all the ingredients and cover with a lid. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the chick peas have absorbed the sauce. Mash a few of the chick peas with  the back of a wooden spoon against  the side of the pan to thicken the sauce.
4. Transfer the chick peas to a serving dish, sprinkle with the garam masala and the finely chopped fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with
chapati or nan.

Home computer injuries are rife
Infant using a computer

Home computer-related injuries have increased more than sevenfold, with children hurt most often, data reveal

Over 78,000 patients were treated for such injuries in US hospitals between 1994 and 2006, and 93% of the trips, bumps and falls occurred in the home.
Over the 13-year study period the injury rate increased by 732%, which is more than double the increase in household computer ownership. The findings appear in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. Children under five had the highest injury rate, mainly due to falls after tripping over cables or head injuries from falling monitors.
Similarly, in the UK computer-related accidents in the home sharply increased from around 800 in 1995 to more than 1,800 in 1999 and 2,100 in 2002 - the latest figures available.
A third of the incidents in 2002 involved a child under the age of 15, according to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (Rospa).
Although most result in minor bumps and bruises, some injuries can be more serious. One case in 1998 involved a six-year-old boy who was burned by a fire caused by spilling a drink on a computer.
Avoidable
Lead researcher of the US study, Dr Lara McKenzie of the Nationwide Children's Hospital Center for Injury Research and Policy in Columbus, said: "Future research on acute computer-related injuries is needed as this ubiquitous product becomes more intertwined in our everyday lives."
She said more information was needed on the types of computers and equipment used, the layout of these systems, and the furniture used to store them in order to develop household-safety practices in this area. "Given the large increase in acute computer-related injuries over the study period, greater efforts are needed to prevent such injuries, especially among young children."
A Rospa spokesman said: "Whenever a piece of equipment or activity such as home-computing becomes more popular, the number of people being injured in related accidents does tend to increase. "In fact, we noticed a particular rise in computer-related home accidents towards the end of the 1990s as computers became 'must have' items.
"Accidents always happen more easily when you're rushing, so if you're carrying a computer do take care to look where you're going and don't try to lift too much equipment in one go. "Make sure computers are well-positioned so they cannot be pulled over by inquisitive children. And, as with all types of electrical equipment, watch out for trailing cables."

Captain Bilal Zafar Shaheed

“Think not of those who are slain in Allah’s way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord; They rejoice in the bounty provided by Allah. And with regard to those left behind, who have not yet joined them (in their bliss), the (martyr’s) glory in the fact that on them is no fear, nor have they (cause to) grieve.”
Al-Quran  (3: 169-170)

Captain Bilal Zafar, a commando of the Pakistan army SSG (the world’s best elite force), embraced martyrdom on the 17th of May, 2009 - fighting terrorists and militants in the embattled valley of Swat.
He always used to say “Bullets can’t harm me”,
and thus it proved true. He was hit on the arm by a bullet but he carried on until he was hit by an RPG (Rocket propelled grenade) where he embraced martyrdom on the spot.
His last message has been circulated widely on print and electronic media.
 
This is what he had to say:

“In the volleys of fire…in the thunder of bombs, there are a few who just do not stop…knowing that they are surrounded by death…knowing that they could leave their wives widows and children orphans…but they just keep on moving because something is pumping in their hearts…and flowing through their veins known as honour, devotion and motivation…death over surrender…that is why they say death before disgrace…Pakistan Army Zindabad”.

 

We salute your courage. This sacrifice of your’s for this nation will never be forgotten. At least not by us: the people of Pakistan. Let this martyrdom also dispel the notion that the army lacks any motivation to defeat these extremist militants, it is obvious that their spirits are very high.
We stand by you! Long Live Pakistan!

 Optimism  
Assalam-O-Alaikum
Wise say ‘Life is not a bed of roses’. It means that everyone, in their lives, for whatever reason, will face things that just don't make sense to them. For whatever reason, there will be times when the tide would seem to be flowing against us. Most of us find it difficult to deal with the brickbats life throw at us.

My grandfather say, “Through my life’s experience I have found that in every challenge and obstacle that we are faced with there CAN be good that can come from it.”  Last week, we traveled to Taif’s tourist resort, Shafa. On our way back, it started to rain so heavily that we had to take a stop. I felt so bad about it because I had load of home chores to complete that weekend. However, when the rain stopped, a beautiful rainbow appeared and our journey back became even more pleasant. At that time I reflected on what grandfather had said, and now I do see how true this is.  I can complain of the rainy weather or be thankful that the plants are getting watered for free. We can lament on why roses have thorns or be happy about thorns having roses.

Our religion instructs us to thank Allah for His countless blessings. Often we tend to focus on what we don’t have. If we count what we have, they far out number what we don’t have. By reminding ourselves to show gratitude to Allah, it is unlikely for us to feel depress because our attention will be towards the good things in our life. It is impossible to feel grateful and depressed in the same moment.

The key to contentment in life is by spending time looking for positives in your life. Just be appreciative and thankful, and you won't be depressed. It is you who get to choose how to spend your day and hence your life. Today you can complain because you have to go to school, or you can celebrate the joy in getting the opportunity to fill your mind with more knowledge. So what will be your approach?
Till next time, Allah Hafiz
