I am on a business visit to USA. I am away from my family - my wife, my 6 month old son and my parents, my friends, my country and many other things. When I came across the song below I felt like crying. I will make sure that I or my Children will never experience this ordeal. Oh Allah! please give me the best of both the worlds and give me the strength to take care of people I am responsible for (ayaal). Ameen.
My child arrived just the other day He came to the world in the usual way But there were planes to catch and bills to pay He learned to walk while I was away And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew He'd say "I'm gonna be like you dad You know I'm gonna be like you"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home dad? I don't know when, but we'll get together then son You know we'll have a good time then
My son turned ten just the other day He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play Can you teach me to throw", I said "Not today I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok" And he walked away but his smile never dimmed And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah You know I'm gonna be like him"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home son? (Watch this, now the father is asking the son) I don't know when, but we'll get together then son You know we'll have a good time then
Well, he came home from college just the other day So much like a man I just had to say "Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?" He shook his head and said with a smile "What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys See you later, can I have them please?"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home son? I don't know when, but we'll get together then son You know we'll have a good time then
I've long since retired, my son's moved away I called him up just the other day I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind" He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad It's been sure nice talking to you"
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me He'd grown up just like me My boy was just like me
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man on the moon When you comin' home son? I don't know when, but we'll get together then son You know we'll have a good time then

Its an ongoing and never ending battle between microsoft and google. Microsoft now armoured with a new search engine (bing or kumo) is desperate to take head-on with google and has budgeted up to $100 million to advertise Bing, its yet-unlaunched search engine, on TV, on radio, online and in print.

I wanted to use the 'Monetise' feature available on Blogger.com, but I was taken back by the number of steps required to create a Google Adsense account which is required to track the earnings and view earnings reports. This is the response I received from Google Adsense support: In order to participate in Google AdSense,your website and application information must meet the followingguidelines: - Your website must be your own top-level domain (www.example.comrather than www.example.com/mysite).- Your domain must have been registered and active for at least 6months before you apply for AdSense.- You must provide accurate personal information with your applicationthat matches the information on your domain registration.- Your website must contain substantial, original content.- Your site must comply with Google AdSense program policies(https://www.google.com/adsense/policies?hl=en_US), which includeGoogle's webmaster quality guidelines:http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35769&hl=en_US#quality . If your site satisfies the above criteria in the future, pleaseresubmit your application and we'll review it as soon as possible.
I have checked it again and my blog fulfills all the above requirements. I have resubmitted my application for adsense account 5 times till now and I have received the same response. Hoping that google will simplify the steps and policies for creating adsense account.
Writing this post after a loooong gap. Alhumdulillah, the best thing that happened to me and my family recently is that Allah blessed us with a baby boy on 2nd January 2009. We named him Ahmed Quadri, Ahmed is one of the names of Prophet Muhammad PBUH and one my favorite names. May Allah give my son the barkat of Prophet Muhammad's name. Alhumdulillah, he is 4.5 months old now. He is the apple of my eye and has a million dollar smile. When I return home from office, tired and exhausted and as soon as I see him, I get rejuvenated and refreshed and start playing with him and land unlimited kisses on his cheek which he enjoys silently by staying still and blinking his eyes. May Allah protect my son from every evil and guide him on the right path and give him success in this world and the here after.
I love good friendships and how they can outlast anything. Friends with whom I am not afraid to be absolutely silly
and to share the laughter that often ensues.
