one of our media men was shot dead in Somalia few days ago. certainly, during a conflict everybody is in danger. virtually everybody. look back what had happened in Ivory Coast when one of the warlords was killed. the warlord sided the victorious president. in Libya, one of top men in opposition front line was killed. he was one of Muaamar Ghadaffi's men who defected.
there you go.

a loss of a friend
I went to pay a last respect for a friend who died in a very high dignity. from what I learnt, he was killed by a vehicle during his effort to save his child. the child saved.
I still remember about four or five years ago, when I sought his help to return a gift by an acquaintance. the gift was sent to my home address, which I considered as highly inappropriate. in fact, the act of giving a gift was, from my opinion, inappropriate. I was then brought the gift to the office and ordered the person to take back the gift. nothing happened. so I asked my friend to show me the address since he knew the place better. after I put back the gift at the front gate of the acquaintance premise, he asked me "why did the person gave a gift, is the person is a relative of mine", he asked. really he had a sincere mind set where such a practice should not exist.
I didn't remember mentioned this story to anyone. I hope he get his place in the heaven.

diary of a father III - loss
today I received a news of that one old friends died. certainly death is unavoidable for all living things. death should be able to wake us up to think back what have we done so far. have we hugged our family today. have we called our friends and family who lived away from us. or in the larger scale what have contribute to our society and country and even religion.
I believe all of us have faced a loss, near or far. I've lost a son three years ago. he died at birth. I prayed to God that I could see his eyes. and my prayer was answered when I had a dream. in that dream someone is holding my son. he was quietly falls asleep. his face is clean and his eyes shut. then slowly he opened his eyes and looking to me. and really I can looked into his eyes. just what I was praying for. now I'm praying that I would be able to meet him again.
really life is wonderful and it is human being who make it wonderful. not things.
