Eid Celebrations

Eid Mubarak Celebrations in a Christian household
Astonishing that In Uganda, christian families celebrate this day way more than the actual participants mandated to celebrate it more. Over the past years, I have been making my own small time research into this new phenomenon as to why do Christians look forward to breaking a fast they did not even participate in, I wondered. Throughout this time, many folks just love the fact that there will be a lot of eating per say. The one person who will make you learn how to celebrate any important day for feasting is a non-participants in this case scenario my good fellow Christians some not all obviously in the activities before the feast. Make no mistake my brothers and sisters of the Islamic faith you guys do know how to throw a feast and my Christian  friends know how to enjoy a feasting given one.

Some one may ask what exactly is so important about this day. According to the Islamic faith after the long thirty days of fasting and prayers during the holy month of Ramadan, it's a special time for my brothers and sisters of the faith just like the Lent period is to the Christians. As it is during this moment that ones faith and endurance is tested greatly. First, it is a sign of great respect to the Islamic faith for one participate joyfully during this fasting period.

Secondly, it is a moment for one to be able to renew their faith and love for Allah the almighty through penance of ones sin to another and to Allah (God).

Back to the situation at hand Eid Mubarak a day started with prayers to mark the beginning of the new beginning in ones faith. During this celebration, families and friends gather to thank Allah(God) for the many gifts and each person is embraced and invited to join in the feasting. Loads of preparations are made during this joyous moment.Never have I seen any group of people celebrate Eid like most Ugandans and Christians for that matter. The experience here is overwhelmingly great that anyone who can actually look forward to this day will always mark the beginning of the Holy month of Ramadan on their yearly calendar given  the chance. Comprising of lots of food, drinks and most importantly family and friends together sharing light moments. oh when it comes to the food, dear lord have mercy, there is so much to eat one and lots of drinks.

To my brothers and sisters of the faith, Eid Mubarak festival rocks. May the Almighty Allah grant you all your requests and blessings.

Life of the Fresh Undegraduate

Stand Tall Among The Many
All my life I always wondered how it felt being a graduate student, many may think it is all heaven on earth that you are done with your bachelor's degree but trust me it is just the beginning of your learning process. Why say this? I believe in finishing something once and for all but this is not the case especially if you did a course as dynamic as Information technologies and its related courses. If this is not the most dynamic industry the world has offered to you then probably I am like 200% very wrong with this theory.

You get to finish a bachelor and you have this thought of , "am so done with school", hate to break it to my dear friends in this category. You haven't gotten anything complete yet. Yes you can find a good salaried job with the degree in play or even start up something small with it, but when it comes to information technologies and its various entities such as networking, system administration, programming, computer science, software engineering, database management, information systems and computer engineering all mentioned are not areas that one can just end with an undergraduate's degree but it will call for more work to be done for someone to actually know and recognise you as highly skilled individual in those areas until u master your art of specialisation or generalisation any of these fields and make it a point to be the best at it.

For the above when you generalise in any field you ought to know at least 50% of every entity in play but when you specialise and do professional courses in- line with your interests my brother and sister you are heading in the right direction of success and all it takes is to be determined to be the best at what you are doing and it will be easy for you to build up knowledge and experience in that field and become the better man at every turn. And I believe there are probably two simple steps to achieve this in life;
  1.  Master one skill at a time make sure your the best at it by practicing always dedicate time for it.
  2.  Believe and trust in yourself and GOD for the gift of life and opportunity to be able to do what you do best.

Every undergraduate in the above fields can be the best at anyone of the skills, why would you be trying so hard to looking for anyone's approval just get down on you  legs and stand tall amongst the many in your own unique way like be the outstanding programmer, networking genius, system administrator best there is. But you got to want to be the best and work to be the best at it.

And the rest of the other areas do not think i have forgotten about you but the above steps does work for any other fields not mentioned here no changes at all for they are same basic principles one can use to reach their target goals. NEVER GIVE UP my dear Friends on your dreams however big they are. Baby steps and you will be there enjoying the realities of the once called dreams.
