I’m glad we started with Hamlet in World Literature class today. I’ll finally get the chance to read Shakespeare! Of course, at the moment we’re just doing it from the exam point of view, but after my finals I intend to get it a read it thru properly.
They could think of no better way to end the previous year and start the new one than by the suicide blast on the Mall yesterday. I prefer not to think of it; I thought abt it incessantly all of yesterday, and it’s made me quite distressed.
Though, one thing that really cheered me up today happened right at the start of the day. In the dars-e-quran session, our lecturer talked about the message contained in Haj, of equality, applying to all mankind. The forceful way that he insisted that all of us are equal, none of us belongs to any sect whatsoever, each one of us is simply and truly a Muslim, and how the Quran names us as Muslims, so why should we take on any other name? I really can’t describe the way he delivers, his style of diction, the charisma…the most justice I can do to it is by stating that once or twice his speech actually moved me to tears. It was simply amazing.
I haven’t made my New Year resolutions yet. I have this mental list in my mind of all the things I have to do as soon as my semester break starts, and making up resolutions is definitely one of them.
I just need to get thru my finals somehow! That’s my resolution for the moment.

I can’t truly express myself today. There’s not enough feeling in what I’m writing. I’d better leave it for later. I’m off to a cyber-war! =P
