Aaah... the benefits of the portable athan.... Not!
The athan software recently went of during a job boot camp session at my uni. It went off uptil 'Allaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh.......' after which I quickly pressed the mute button on my laptop.
The north indian and south indian girls next to me gave me a "are-you-crazy-out-of-your-mind" look. I have my doubts anyone in the room made any sense out of what had emanated from my laptop. A bunch of guys did giggle; however they were muslim guys and hence quickly understood what I had set off.
It recently went off on my iPad while I was on the subway. However the volume was set at low and I acted like "it wasn't me".
My friend said it once went off while he was giving a presentation. Another friend said it went off while he was taking a Skype video interview and he ended up apologizing because the software had hung up, but the athan voice was intact; the interviewee suddenly felt at ease during the course of the interview due to the pause in the interview.
I have limited its installation to my home computer.

Embarrassing Eid Moment
Occasionally, it happens in your life; a khutbah that sweeps you off your feet. You wish you could revisit that khutbah again and again.
On Eid morning, a khutbah that changed my life landed on my ears. I stepped out of the masjid prayer place, still dazed by the rich content and now thoroughly motivated to land my hands on the essay.
I walked up to a "regular" girl at the masjid. Here is the conversation that ensued.
Me:Excuse me, would you know the name of the imam?
Girl:Yes, it's ABC.
Me in my thoughts: Great, a Google search will lead me to his blog, or maybe its already there on Khutbah.com..
Me:Umm...does he have a blog?
Girl: No, he already has a bride. He is married to a 19 year old hafizza.
