HardTalk....Peppers

A couple of days ago, I watched BBC’s HardTalk which aired the interview with Tun Mahathir…While I may not agree with everything he does, I still admire his guts to voice out against the West….He has not lost any of his flair of answering spontaneous questions like the ones posted to him during the interview...

Pepper…this little gastronomic commodity is a marvelous spice and was once (and probably still is..) an important trading commodity dated way back centuries ago…..you can get em’ in various colours; black, white, red and green…..

Some may be aware on how these various assortment of peppers are actually manufactured…. recently there was a story of how a green pepper and white pepper were brought from different locations and met up to be packaged in a manufacturing plant…from the outside both peppers were different in colour and probably taste……..the vast difference in colour, have not prevented em’ from expressing a similar distinct taste that would brighten and spice up any dishes…the moment these peppers meet up, the spicy taste of the peppers simply tickle the taste buds and brings a smile to any pepper-eating homo sapiens….so, however different the peppers may look, they still bought about a wonderful ending, i.e. enhancing dishes and tickling the taste buds…

Crapping...-the end-

Imran N Hosein

To be honest ive not heard of this Islamic scholar before..but one day , by chance, i bumped into a book he wrote entitled, "Signs of the Last Day in the Modern Age"...

Who is this scholar?

He was born in the Caribbean island of Trinidad in 1942 from parents whose ancestors had migrated from India as indentured labourers. He studied Islam, Philosophy and International Relations at several universities and institutions of higher learning. Among them are al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, the Institute of International Relations of the University of the West Indies in Trinidad, the University of Karachi in Pakistan, the Aleemiyah Institute of Islamic Studies in Karachi, Pakistan, and the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Switzerland.

He worked for several years as a Foreign Service Officer in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Government of Trinidad and Tobago.

He lived in New York for ten years during which time he served as the Director of Islamic Studies for the Joint Committee of Muslim Organizations of Greater New York. He lectured on Islam in several American and Canadian universities, colleges, churches, synagogues, prisons, community halls, etc. He also participated in many inter-faith dialogues with Christian and Jewish scholars while representing Islam in USA. He was the Imam, for sometime, at Masjid Dar al-Qur'an in Long Island, New York. He also led the weekly Juma'ah prayers and delivered the sermon at the United Nations headquarters in Manhattan once a month for ten years continuously.

Btw, he has his own website....(you can even download the e-book version of his writings..cool!)

Life oh Life

Life can sometimes amaze you with so many suprises…

 Musharaff experienced it in

Pakistan

,
Mugabe felt it in

Zimbabwe

recently,
the Kenyan’s also sprang up some surprises, Oh and yeah

Malaysia

too..But what do all of
these countries have in common? Wind of change…..whether its good or bad, no
one can tell…

 For months, the world has been practically plagued with
increase in prices of commodities/food….the latest being the price of Rice…with
Vietnam clamping on their rice exports, the shortage in supply in some
countries have sparked an outrage among rice eaters.. the world would face a
looming food crisis going forward if measures to mitigate it are not done….prices
have practically been soaring to historical highs….one would wonder what would
be the next item/commodity that would spiral upwards…just hope that the price
of belacan a.k.a “Malaysian cheese” wont follow the same trend as other
commodities..hehe..
