Well... I saw some friend attending this event on facebook and out of cheer curiosity thought of checking the event and bla bla bla... to cut the long story short, I ended up attending the event due to the same curiosity.

Turns out this is part of Global Oneness Project and in Pakistan its founded by Ramla Akhtar & Shahjahan Chaudry. The main idea is to accept the difference, like we all are human beings but we all are different in terms of color, race or religion. So rather than wasting our energy on "I'm right & you're wrong." we should work on accepting others the way they are because reality is what we see and it can be different to everyone.

On the first breakfast there were 16 people who showed up, it was very nice, healthy & interactive discussion we had there. Two weeks later the strength was down to 8, some old weren't able to make it but some new joined in as well. Today was 3rd breakfast and the number of people was 6, again some old left while some new joined. Guess that's how life goes on.

So what started for me as curiosity is now turning out to be a gathering of friends where healthy ideas are discussed and some jokes are exchanged. I personally think that its getting better day by day since the problems and issues we address are not new to others... they've also faced the same.

Here I would like to mention a few names who have attended all the three breakfasts and I hope to see them in future too because I really enjoy their presence and get to learn as well.

Ramla Akhtar - Founder of Oneness Breakfast in Pakistan. Her job is to conduct the whole session, she's the one who comes up with ideas and topics to be discussed every week.
Shahjahan Chaudry - Co Founder with Ramla. His Job is to provide us with space & food (J/k... lol)
Faraz Haider - BSC Computers by Profession, he's trying to find the answer to the question "Who am I & why am I here?"... Well, his Sufi Intellect is very much needed for the discussions to go on.
Kamran Iqbal - A doctor by profession, he's a big fan of Iqbal and he believes in portraying the "Correct Image" of Pakistan
Muhammad Omer Arshad - ME - Well... Some people are sent to this world so that it can look a crowded place (-:

Thats about it for now.

One of a kind Puri Sahib (-:
