Travel Logs

After a lot of lazy postponement I decided to blog my travels,not because I felt the need to upload the pics but to kill my boredom.The recent pox I had kept me indoors for almost 15 days and TV,internet,books couldn't stop the boredom.

I found this quote very interesting and it did coincide and surprisingly fit with my blisters thanks to the pox

"Boredom is like a pitiless zooming in on the epidermis of time. Every instant is dilated and magnified like the pores of the face."

Ok let me not bore you...here it goes its a collection of fotos which starts from my visit to Saudi Arabia,Dubai,London and Ireland.

Burj Al Arab

Burj Al Arab is the world's second tallest hotel.The Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island on the Jumeira Beach.It was built to resemble the sail of a dhow, a type of Arabian vessel. Two "wings" spread in a V to form a vast "mast", while the space between them is enclosed in a massive atrium.Tiger woods famouly played golf on helipad of burj al arab



Burj Khalifa

Burj Khalifa also known as Burj Dubai prior to its inauguration, is a skyscraper in Dubai and the tallest man-made structure ever built in the world.I took this photo one year priot to its inaguration or to precise when it was called Burj Dubai.One has to feel sorry for the thousands of Asian labourers who shed their blood and sweat to build this.They were underpaid and at times never paid.According to a BBC investigation and a Human Rights Watch report, the workers were housed in abysmal conditions, their pay was often withheld, their passports were confiscated by their employers, and they were working in hazardous conditions that resulted in an apparently high number of deaths and injuries on site.

Atlantis, The Palm

Atlantis, the Palm is a resort at Palm Jumeirah in Dubai.The resort consists of two towers linked by a bridge.The seven stars resort also includes a water Aquaventure theme park,Dolphin Bay and the highlight being a 1 million lite aquarium housing a female whaleshark.

Guess who's back.....Shady's back with "Recovery".

Eminem aka Slim Shady is back with a bang with his new album "Recovery"...the best song out of the album is "Not Afraid" where he starts of apologizing to his fans for his previous album which was a disappointment considering his standards..Eminem admits he's been in a slump: "I just wanna thank everybody for bein' so patient, bearin' with me over these last couple of years while I figure this shit out."

This is the sound of the man getting off the pills, trying to handle his personal demons, attempting to recapture his lost glory. For a fan, it's heartening to hear him drawing attention to his past failures and attempting to correct his failures



Lyrics


I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road

(Intro)

Yeah, It's been a ride...
I guess I had to go to that place to get to this one
Now some of you might still be in that place
If you're trying to get out, just follow me
I'll get you there

(Verse 1)

You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em
But you won't take this thing out these words before I say 'em
Cause ain't no way I'm let you stop me from causing mayhem
When I say 'em or do something I do it, I don't give a damn
What you think, I'm doing this for me, so fuck the world
Feed it beans, it's gassed up, if a thing's stopping me
I'mma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me I'm tearing down your balcony
No if ands or buts don't try to ask him why or how can he
From Infinite down to the last Relapse album he's still shit and
Whether he's on salary, paid hourly
Until he bows out or he shit's his bowels out of him
Whichever comes first, for better or worse
He's married to the game, like a fuck you for christmas
His gift is a curse, forget the earth he's got the urge
To pull his dick from the dirt and fuck the universe

Rock Ballads

One of the reasons I love and listen rock music is the guitar. Guitar is one of the greatest instruments ever made.It's not just an instrument...it's got a amazing amazing soul which connects to you.....

The world of music is entirely different these days its a all computerized techno music,rap,hip hop with no soul...its jus the beats.Each 80' rock ballad had a amazing story behind it.Beatles were the true founders of rock ballads they made the way for the amazing period of 70's to late 80's for other great bands to create their own magical ballads.Even the heaviest metal bands like Metallica,Judas Priest,Ozzy have their own ballads.

Recently i added few songs to my list of favorite songs here it goes.

Judas Priest - Before The Dawn



The Who - Behind Blue Eyes



Thin Lizzy-Whiskey in the jar



Few modern Power Love Ballads

HIM- Killing Loneliness




Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars



Tokio Hotel Monsoon

Why did Jesus say, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

It was Good Friday morning and I woke up @ 10 in the morning,its been a years since I attended a Good Friday service @ church.But I can still remember my numerous Good Friday services I attended in my early days, the long sessions,pastors & priests preaching on The Last Supper,the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, the arrest of Jesus after his betrayal by Judas, the examination and condemnation of Jesus by the Jews,the trial before Pilate during which Jesus is sentenced to be whipped and crucified, the crucifixion of Jesus.

No Good Friday service goes without mention of the "Last Seven words of Jesus"

1) Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing (Luke 23:34)
2) I tell you this; today you shall be with me in Paradise (Luke 23:43) - Jesus said this to one of the criminals crucified with him
3) Mother, there is your son. Son, there is your mother (John 19:26)
4) My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? (Mark 15:34)
5) I thirst (John 19:28)
6) It is finished (John 19:30)
7) Father, into your hands I commit my spirit (Luke 23:46)



Though I have listened,pondered and read about these seven last words...never in my life did I question about any of those words....being a strong believer of Christ and His words..I just believe wot the Bible says....

Today after reading the last seven words accidentally in the BBC Good Friday special..I begin to think and research on the fourth word Jesus said "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? (Mark 15:34)".Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? ....

This one word is a pivot point for any atheist,non-christian to question Jesus and God as contradictory....most atheist claim and question the whole situation as it seems like Jesus has depended wholly on God to save him and is really being let down.Many athiest believe Jesus fell for the temptation of the devil...and questioned GOD of his plans to sacrifice him for the sins of mankind.

There are lot of conventional interpretation to Jesus words but there is only one truth and answer to all this....I started researching the scriptures and various interpretations of people on this word...

The Psalm Angle:

He was fulfilling a prophecy in Psalm 22

Psalm 22
Why Have You Forsaken Me?

1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?
2 my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer,
and by night, but I find no rest.

Ps 22:15-19

Like water my life drains away; all my bones grow soft.
My heart has become like wax, it melts away within me.
As dry as a potsherd is my throat; my tongue sticks to my palate; you lay me in the dust of death.
Many dogs surround me; a pack of evildoers closes in on me.
So wasted are my hands and feet that I can count all my bones.
They stare at me and gloat; they divide my garments among them; for my clothing they cast lots.

This is also the prophesy foretold hundreds of years before Jesus was crucified on the cross.This prophesied Jesus being crucified and even explained what the Roman Sanitarians did with the garments.



Psalm 22 was written about 600 years before Christ was born. At that time, crucifixion had not yet been invented. Actually, the Phoenicians developed it and Rome borrowed the agonizing means of execution from them. So, when Rome ruled over Israel, it became the Roman means of capital punishment imposed upon the Jews whose biblical means of execution was stoning. Nevertheless, Jesus is pointing to the scriptures to substantiate His messianic mission.

The Burden of sin

This was the most comprehensive answer to the question....

There is no doubt that God approved Jesus work. It is certain that He was innocent. He had done nothing to forfeit the favor of God. As His own Son - holy, harmless, undefiled, and obedient - God still loved Him. In none of these senses could God have forsaken Him

Isaiah Isaiah 53:4-5 says
He bore our griefs and carried our sorrows; that he was wounded for our transgressions, and bruised for our iniquities; that the chastisement of our peace was laid upon him; that by his stripes we are healed”

He was made a sin-offering, and He died in our place, on our account, that He might bring us near to God. It was this, doubtless, which caused His intense sufferings. It was the manifestation of God’s hatred of sin, in some way which He has not explained, that Jesus experienced in that terrible hour. It was suffering endured by Him that was due to us, and suffering by which, and by which alone, we can be saved from eternal death.



In those awful moments, Jesus was expressing His feelings of abandonment as God placed the sins of the world on Him – and because of that had to “turn away” from Jesus. As Jesus was feeling that weight of sin, He was experiencing separation from God for the only time in all of eternity.God the Father, who had been comforting and supporting Jesus through the trials of Gethsemane and Herod's and Pilate's court and the crucifixion, withdrew His spirit and support, so the atonement would be completely, totally that of Jesus Christ.

Jesus suffered the lost of his fathers power and our sins was the cause of it ! Jesus shows his love for the father by being obedient and die for our sins becoming that eternal sacrifice,and the father show his love by sending his son! and the son by giving us his spirit!and what did you and me do ????

Jesus became sin for us, so He felt the loneliness and abandonment that sin always produces, except that in His case, it was not His sin – it was ours.
