What's your age? What does it really mean?

My day started with the news of a little one's 2nd birthday,  whom I met when ,when he was 1 , it was in a way so deep to imagine that he has lived 2 years on earth now. 

As someone ,who completely cannot fathom the idea and conversation about something as simple as "age" . A question being asked so frequently and customarily,  that one might feel like answering it so naturally as passing wind . Well that's the only way I find to put it in words . "How old are you ?" Or " what's your age ? " , is something you are asked on almost daily basis,  from friends to family to new acquaintances to answering the legal requirements. 


The answer should be straight,we just have to say a number ,however ,are they asking you to tell  the number of years you've spent on this planet, the experiences of development and growth you've been through , the trials you've faced with every turning  calander , the bodily changes you have underwent  ?  or they're trying to determine your place and worth based on that number. Let me elaborate  that , for instance when the answer is between 20 to 25 , these numbers are considered the platinum numbers , although your window is limited,  your maturity is shaky  ,inspite of that you're considered worthy of opportunities, especially if you're a female  , these numbers are the deciding factors. Although the numbers effect both genders in a slightly different way, as for women the higher number of years they've spent on this planet shows how much they have decayed.  On the other hand,  for men it works in a better way , the more time they've spent on earth indicates that they might finally have worked on their immaturity, that they're carrying along with them since the day they landed on earth. 

Thus that simple question is absolutely simple or a huge deciding factor,  depending on the perspective in which it is asked . To me, I love the fact how a human is born and then travel through the journey of life , through different stages and learn and grow . 

Yet we cannot say that it's just a number , it is indeed more than that

The Magical Beans Of Al Mokha In Yemen

  There are a huge number of people in every corner of the world who are addicted to coffee, from opening their eyes and crawling out of bed for a hot cuppa to drinking this beverage whole day till they hit the sack again .The legend has it that the magical beans were discovered by the Sufi mystics in  the vibrant and warm land of Yemen. A l-Mukha  or Mocha and المُخا in Arabic  , is a port city on the  Red Sea  coast of  Yemen  , it is considered the house of coffee,  the name Mokha which later got fame as Mocha aswell is named after this historically rich city of Yemen.Today there are many who claim the monopoly on this dark brew , but it is said that it was the Yemenies or land of Yemen who introduced coffee beans to the world, when the magical beans left the shores of Yemen, the Ottomans taught the Europeans how to make and drink coffee and later when their colonialism started to spread,  so does their interest in the magical beans ,...

Change The Way They Look At You

  Life is always developing,  growing and evolving,  from human bodies to their internal growth it’s a journey,  where almost nothing is static , when we are little we might have held a certain toy tigher to ourselves,  after few years we completely ignore it like it was worthless , or during our teens the activities and adventures we try despite all the  opposition & disapproval for that certain thing ,but we still eagerly try it ,because at that time it seems the most exciting thing to us, though after few years when we look back it seems utterly foolish , a lover, for whom we might be willing to die for cried rivers and buckets of tears, missed many heart beats in our twenties, turns into out most awaful crush of the past when we are more mature and get some perspective on life,  we laugh at those times of childishness. It’s not just an individual going through this process of change but everyone around that individual has their opinions develop...
