The other day I was commuting via the sub-way, which honesty is the best and peaceful way of travelling within Toronto. To my disappointment however the sub-way was nearly full with people rushing to their works, youngsters not wanting be late for their classes .. I had to struggle my way through the tightly packed people and was eyeing every passenger whoever let out a slightest indication that his/her stop is next, so that I could grab a seat; which I somehow couldn’t keeping in mind how shy I am … 😦
Nothing else to do other than staring at every passenger, I decided to read and grabbed the Novel that I carried, which by the way was – The Moonlit Cage by Linda Holeman. At each stop a fresh flock of people were pushing themselves inside, rather than the other way around … 😡 .Among them was a Man, who caught my eye. He was Middle-Aged and a Muslim which I instantly figured by the Book he was carrying in his hand.
At first I thought I was mistaken, I surely Must have imagined the Book in beautiful bindery in his hands. Just when I was about to concentrate on my Novel, I saw it again. This time, There was no Mistakening. It actually was the book, I first blamed myself having imagined – ‘The Holy Quran’. Was I surprised to see a Man read Quran in a public place ??? How pleasantly surprised was I .. A sight My eyes have never witnessed until now. Amid the clusters of people who were flowing with the music spilling in their ears through their ipods, people who were busy scanning Newspapers and Magazines for the latest sniff of gossip and rumour, there He was remembering Allah – quitely and obediently.
To be quite Honest with you, I have seen Many people who put up a great show NOT TO show that they are Muslims to avoid racism, and Look at this Man, who cared a Damn about anything but pleasing Allah. Such are the Muslims, our world is in need of, The ones who arent shy or hide their religion, But are proud to be a Muslim. Looking at him, shamed me for I havent been reading Quran since a while, So Busy was I with my worldly life, that I forgot The Almighty Allah ..
Pray before Prayers are offered for you; Weigh your acts before you are weighed; And find answers before they are answered for you before Allah !!

Did anyone taste the New Footlong sandwich served by Sub-Way ???
I had a blood test today, hence had to go without having my breakfast. I cannot live without my breakfast, That is The Important meal of my whole day, I can survive without lunch or dinner but just cannot Breakfast. As soon as my test was finished (Did i tell you that the nurse couldnt find my vein and ended up inserting that needles twice on both my arms …… 😦 ), I went to a near food place which was Sub-Way and ordered a Footlong sandwich.
I watched them making that sandwich for me, which made my mouth water. I ordered Tuna Sandwich as i wasnt left with any choice for they dont serve Halal meat. I hope they start serving Halal meat soon too. They used four scoops of tuna, cheese slices, Shredded cold vegetables like spinach, Cucumber, tomato, Green capsicum, Green and Black olives, Onions and so on and the main ingredient was Sweet Onion Sause which added a load of taste and flavour. Anybody tasted it ? It actually is the thing which makes the sandwich more tasty and leaves us asking for more ………. 😀 . Dont you agree ???
I loved eating it with (not to mention) a glass full of coke, Isnt it a satisfying and wonderful combination/meal ??? I think everyone should try it atleast once, Its a bit costly but C’mmon Just taste it. Its worth the money.
Anyone here who agrees with me ??
