Finally arived at Kabul, just now, here it is 16:13. a bit tired... wil do few things in here, the most important is meeting my old budz.

Long ago TIG was a beautiful place, a peaceful platform, I liked it more than many parties and meetings, it was an enjoyment for me, and it was a fun. We fought with each other, but latter we smiled to each other. We never stored the hatred in our hearts, and dedicatedly worked for shaping this opportunity as an international forum and finally turning this world a peaceful place to live in. we were thinking of creating networks of young people form different cultures, from different backgrounds, from different religions and thoughts, we wanted to foster their collaboration…

But today, don’t know what happened to it?

They are trying to change its face; they are trying to make it ugly, they try to create violence in here. They try to create differences in here by saying “I don’t know why Muslims hate Jews that much?”.

My answer to such people is “it is not your business!” “You don’t poke your nose into their lives” “let them discuss and then I am sure they will laugh and send apologies to each other, as I have witnessed it for more than two years”

I am sure no one can make it horrible, as still there are too many beautiful faces out there, and too many good hearts beating in here, and too many honest minds we have.

After smoking for two years, finally today I said “NO” to cigarettes. As a die-hard smoker it seems as tough as it gets for me.

I have smoked cigarettes for about two years, average 10-15 sticks per day, but after every stick I smoked I said with myself “this is the last” but “the last” never came. And latter on, when the urge appeared I again said “Smoke one and this should be the last one.” I was always thinking about quitting, but then I was saying “I am going through a lot of things at the moment...so maybe this isn't the right time.”

I remember last year when I was in Kabul I didn’t smoke for one week after I promised with my friend <> that I will quit. However that week passed smooth (although it was a bit tough). But After a week when I left Kabul I thought that I have promised him “I will quit,” “so no problem if I smoke one, I can quit latter.” I knew I was cheating with myself. However, that cheating was too bad because I could easily get rid of it after staying smoke-free for a week but when I smoked that cigarette then couldn’t stop it until today.

Today, as it is the first day of 2004, I said no to cigarettes for my desire of a better 2004 for my self and my future. I remember I haven’t witnessed a good time in last two years after I started smoking. So this year and the years ahead should be SPARKLING ones.

I hope that God will give me the strength to stand on what I have pledged to make my 2004 brighter. I am confident He will. I do need your “good wishes” too, so don’t forget to pray for me to stick with my cigarette ban.
