Assalam-o-alaikum.

EM would like to let it's readers know that this blog/blogger is going through a short time-related crisis also known as 'I-just-got-into-medical-college-and-they're-killing-me-for-it' or the 'I-know-it-is-silly-to-be-so-busy-that-blogging-is-impossible-but-I-have-many-valid-reasons' and the 'please-forgive-me-I'll-be-back-soon' phase.

EM also makes it clear that it pains the blogger more than anything else to be unable to blog, specifically about Hajj.

EM will be back online, inshAllah, in the first week of April without any boring and unnecessary details on the cause of this unimaginable delay.

To apologise for any inconvenience that EM may have caused during these past weeks, behold the posted photograph from the small town of Badr in Saudi Arabia. The site of the famous and decisive Battle-of-Badr (not shown in the picture) adjoins this stone wall/memorial with the names of the martys/Shuhada listed, fourteen in all.

Please leave your email ID (if you are new to EM) so that you may be informed as soon as the blog is back online.

Assalam-o-alaikum!
