Art is an state of safe argument, communication, explanation and creative imagination.

For some people art’s their passion, which fuels their soul. But for me art is beauty which simply helps me to display my creative side. IT IS LOVE <3.

 And as far as the question is considered that what is the role of art in society?
 I believe, it nurtures creativity, it helps people to gain confidence in their natural creative abilities, it helps people to be original and most importantly it helps them to speak their heart out , be it in any form. Be it a poetry, be it a painting, be it a written piece, be it any thing.
Sensations that knock deep inside the heart, 
are all gathered in one place called the art -unknown!Hina Art

We Never Really lose F-R-I-E-N-D-S, We Just Discover Who Our Real Friends Are..

Lovely Piece I Found On Net~

A few times in my life I’ve had moments of absolute clarity, when for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp and the world seems so fresh. I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be.”Time of my life~

Clear Your Mind ~ Afrinah Ahmed

"A university professor went to visit a famous Zen master. While master quietly served the tea, the professor talked about Zen. The master poured the visitor's cup to the brim, and then kept pouring. The professor watched the overflowing cup until he could no longer restrain himself. "It's overfull! No more will go in!" the professor blurted. "You are like this cup," the master replied, "How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?" 

Wisdom is simple; it is the knowledge that creates complexity. One of the main factors of stress is not having clear life directions. So often we are caught by the burning things in our lives- the day to day never ending struggles, that they create their own wicked cycle in our minds. This is what we call ‘tension’.    

The 'tension’ confuses life’s important goals. Just like a computer, the mind process data from several different sources. The time, computer spends switching from one program to another, makes the computer runs slower until it completely stops. The mind works in the very same manner. It becomes so involved by the number of things that it has to do, that it spends most of its time switching from one to another, moving us further apart into the superficial stuff and further away from the basic things. We then find that we cannot concentrate on for very long, we feel we are scattered.  For instance, worries, I believe are the most corrupt of all the negative thought patterns. They create stress, and bloom up when an end point of a person is reached, making him hate his life.  

We need to identify these negative thought patterns in our lives and to kick them in the trash can; or to convert them into the positives ones. This 'tension' can also be permanently kicked away by calming the mind and allowing a deepening of our thoughts.  

So, on an ending note, the real problem is not tension or stress, but it is that we have confused “busy-ness” with our life goals. We need to learn to be aware and conscious of our consciousness, and we will find who we really are. Let our problems starve, while we feed wisdom and opportunities.   Always remember, every moment can be an opportunity to discover your real self no matter what circumstances you are bearing. It’s all a matter of where your consciousness is. So, EMPTY YOUR CUP and rock the world!

Water- As A Guide Towards Success

I was going through some page on Facebook, when I paused by a sentence saying, “We Humans are like water”. I couldn’t get the deep meaning at that instance. But later I realized that yes, that’s true, we do resemble to water. 

Let’s pause for few seconds to evaluate water. Let’s analyze it. Nay, I am not talking about its chemical composition but about the way it purls and flows. 

See, Water always takes the path of the least niggling resistance. Whenever you pour a drop of water onto a surface; it will always flow towards the point where it needs to use its least amount of energy. Water will always continue flowing to the lowest point, there’s no other opinion, right? Or have you ever seen water flowing up the hill to get to a lower point? 

That’s it. That’s exactly my point. We Humans do want to reach somewhere good and high, but without using our inner energy, without using the strength within us that can help achieve something really big. We aspire to be somewhere better, we wish to be successful, we want to be known, but we take the path of the least resistance. Isn’t it so? 

This means that as soon as most of us encounter a mountain we will not use our energy to flow up the hill approaching towards the success and we will instead stay at our current position until some external force pushes us to move (to speak in terms of the water). 

My point is that with everything that we do there comes a point when we get that ‘special’ moment, a moment when everything just clicks and makes a perfect sense, when everything goes just according to our plan and when it seems like there is no other person as lucky as we are. The blind black curtain is lifted up and we can have a crystal clear vision and understanding of what we are doing and what we want to do. We then know what we are doing and can really focus our efforts into perfecting our skill and becoming a master at our craft. 

See, I know that "Our thoughts take the wildest flight, even at the moment when they should arrange themselves in thoughtful order." But only when our consciousness is totally focused on the moment we are in, we can receive whatever lesson that moment has to offer. Once we can see, touch and feel our objective, all we have to do is pull back and put all our strength behind it, and we'll hit our target every single time." However, that moment can sometimes take months or years of trying before it finally arrives and this is the main reason why many of us quit! 

I say, don’t quit, hold on a little more, your “moment” can arrive anytime. And someone rightly said, and I quote, ‘quitters never win; winners never quit.’  

I wish I could say It

The night is almost dead but still I cannot sleep.

Baled underneath a thick layer of winter clothes, I am caged under a blanket and even though it feels balmy, my soul is blighting out of cold. Every now and then, I feel my cell is shivering (vibrating)  but maybe it’s because of cold?  whenever I pick it up there are no messages, no calls and no miss calls even. I type 'Hey.' press 'Send to' and scroll through all the names in my 'Contact list' ending and recommencing the process, never being able to find the Right name to click on. I put the cell down envisioning, what's there to breathe for, what’s there to live for ?


Sometimes, I get envious of the most typical-simple-not complicated-normal people around me. How can they live so purely happy, how can they do so much more then I can? There is a firm shield around me which is annoying and hurtful and all so thorny, pricking my heart all the time. I guess that’s the reason I have so many insecurities. Even if a person takes risk to crack in, he gets injured in the process, looses hope and goes back. I cant' figure out the reason.


I wish I could say, 'I love my self'.
I can't.

Photography- My passion

“Hello, I am Afrinah and i love photography”.

Let me dig in the reason that why photography is my passion. It’s because it’s simply addictive. Trust me. It’s my hobby for life. you can build a physical representation of your memories and past life. I know, You just can’t disagree with this :D. There’s no better way of documenting your memories other than having photos. That’s why I started photography in the first place.

There are different things you have to worry about before clicking a picture, like to find the perfect frame, get the lightning and the angle right, set the best aperture, choose the right lens, and so on things.. But that boost up your mind, that boost up your creativity. At least clicking pictures keeps me fresh and full of ideas for having different poses. Try it some time, i know you’ll agree with me ;)

I’m not a professional photographer. I probably never will be. I don’t care when someone says that my pictures are no good. I’m not doing this for anyone but myself. For me it’s a hobby, a very important one. I feel relaxed while doing it. Having a time with my camera makes me feel good.  I enjoy an excuse to get out of my home, for a short trip with not a huge amount of time available, but to take the camera brings a whole new dimension to a dog walk, or a drive out to the near by friend or just to sit on a bench at beach and watch the waves, or feed some kittens.

After taking pictures, I eagerly wait to see what they may look like. One evening, I raced in the car on highway to catch the sunset. The sun kept moving and hiding up, as I reached each new place to snap. It was funny, It was like chasing art, like a journalist chasing a news story. It was simply exciting. I am unable to attach the picture here because it’s large. Google document is refusing :| but i am attaching a pic of small fountain i took near restaurant :D  


Photography enables me to see things i may have passed by on and not noticed. For me, this conveys a memory or a place not just the image, and the feelings I felt when I took that picture. Perhaps, that shot reflected my life going well, a success or a sadness experienced at the time.

I believe,  my editing skills are very weak and this needs more work. Some photographers are great with editing and I have seen some amazing work. I’ll try covering this point..

Photography has made me a happy person and helped build my confidence. Interestingly, the pictures that appear to have the most success are of flowers. I enjoy macro and can keep the camera fairly still. you can view them on my face book account :D I have few there.

I hope that may I will always be able to see and capture the moment in time :D

Best Friend

Now when I think of you

I have no idea what went wrong

We were the best friends

Oh 6 years, those were so long !

But some how you changed

You weren’t the person I knew

You were no more like my best friend

But alas! There was nothing I could do !

My ego forced me to leave you

All because you didn’t treated me right

It looks with every passing day

That we are only destined to fight !

You always considered me as 2nd

That made my feelings hurt

You always treated me

Like I am nothing, but dirt !

Blame was all on me

For every single thing that went wrong

You make things automatically my fault

And this goes on for so long !

You always had your problems and stay mad

For which I find no reason at all

At times I think that you were never there

To catch me at my fall !

You always treated me like this

And now you expect me to come back

I am sorry but

A best friend thing is all you lack !

I gave you the chance

I gave you so many tries

But all you do is

Put those tears in my eyes !

So, now I have to say

It’s over once and for all

You now have your new friends

Who’re nothing but your puppet dolls !
