And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow"
- Al Qura'n - Surah Kahf 18:23
I realize there is no tomorrow in life, it is always today. I have to discover my strengths today, my weaknesses today, create all the inroads today and get closer to Allah today. Nobody guarantees tomorrow for us. So it is for us to take into account this bitter truth and ensure that we take advantage of every second that comes by. One of the biggest lessons I have learned over the past year was this and I would love to ensure to stick to it this year and during my lifetime, InShaAllah... God willing... for sure...
I am always on the look out for easy dinners, which can be whipped up in no time. Sometimes, coming back from office after all the traffic is so stressful that I am really not in a mood to cook anything elaborate. That is when I open my pantry door and stare to check if I have a pack of macaroni or egg noodles. This was one such meal I had prepared with the help of whatever I could find in my pantry and it gave a lovely Indo-Chinese meal. It was wiped out in no time of serving...
