The first month of Lunar Calendar begins with the month of Moharram. The significance of this month is the martyrdom of Imam Husain (third shiite Imam).

Imam Husain (Imam Hossein) was born on 3rd of Shaban in Mediana. He was the son of Ali-ibne-Abi Talib (Hazrat Ali) and Fatima, the daughter of the Holy Prophet Mohammad. His title was Saiyid-ush-Shohada. He was 57 years old when he was martyred at Kerbala, on 10th Moharram 61 A. H.. He was buried in Kerbala.
It is said that as the good news of birth of his grandson reached Prophet Mohammad, he came and recited Azan and other prayers in his right and left ears, respectively. Prophet Mohammad named him Husain in compliance with God's command on the 7th day of his birth. Prophet Mohammad prophesied that his second grandson Husain would rescue the faith of Islam when Yezid attempts to destroy it.
When Yezid the son of Muawiya came to power, he held himself as the successor of Prophet Mohammad demanding to be as the leading guide of the faith. Imam Husain said that he would never gives in at any cost to anything other than God's commands and what his grandfather had established.

Imam Husain went to Medina and led a secluded life. Yezid continued to harass Imam Husain so he went to Mecca. Yezid said he would murder him in Kaaba so he had to leave Mecca a day before Hajj pilgrimage. When Imam Husain horse mysteriously stopped in Kerbala and did not go further, he knew that this is the land of suffering and martyrdom.
On the 7th day of Moharram, water supply was cut off the Imam's camp including men, women, children and the torment of thirst and hunger began.
At 10th day of Moharram known as Ashura (Ashoora), Yezid ordered his army to march towards him. Imam Husain gathered his followers and told them that God (Allah) has permitted us to be in a holy war on this day and God will reward us for our Martyrdom. He prepared his followers for death and bridging from this world to the other world.
After Imam Husain followers gave their lives one by one, he brought his six month old baby son Ali Asghar, offering him to his enemy and requesting for some water for the baby who was dying of thirst. Instead of water, poison was given to the baby which killed him.
At last, Imam Husain came to the field and was murdered. His head was cut off and raised on a lance.The head of Holy Imam began praising God and saying "Allaho Akbar' meaning "All glory be to God who is the greatest!"
Muslims mourn during this period in memory of Imam Husain. People wear black during these times.

Girls
are like apples
on trees. The best ones
are at the top of the tree.
The boys don't want to reach
for the good ones because they
are afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead, they get the rotten apples
from the ground that aren't as good,
but easy. So the apples up top think
something's wrong w/ them when in
reality they're amazing. They just
have to wait for the right boy to
come along, the one who's
brave enough to
climb all
the way
to the top
of the tree

Little Things Mean Alot

Blow me a kiss from across the room,
Say I look nice when I'm not,
Touch my hair as you pass my chair;
Little things mean a lot,
Kneel with me at the side of the bed
Call me at six on the dot
A line a day when you're far away
Little things mean a lot

Don't have to buy me diamonds & pearls
Caviar, sables or such
I never cared much for diamonds & pearls
'Cause honestly, honey, they cost too much.
Give me your hand when I've lost my way
Give me your shoulder to cry on,
Whether the day is bright or is gray
Give me your heart to rely on!
Give me the warmth of a secret smile
To show me you haven't forgot
That always and ever, now and forever
Little things mean a lot.
