Its official - I am going for the Hajj this year

MORE?

I guess some of you may have guessed that I may heading to the Holy Land of Mecca this year from some of my postings for the last couple of weeks. Its true. Its confirm, I am on the list and will be going this year, Allah permitting.

Although considered young by some, after 40 years, it good to reflect what has been achieved and what the future goals will be. I was reminded by my wife, who will be following me, that I made the promise to her before we got married (circa 1995) that we will make the pilgrimage when we reached 40.

Although I cannot remember at all, the fact that I will be on my way to Mecca at the age of 40 is a very strong sign that promises should never be uttered frivolously, as Allah listens. I find this very unnerving as I was never a pious person before.

With luck, I hope to document my travels and experiences on my blog. I was just informed that my flight will be on November 8th, 2010.
