Who moved my cheese?

Who moved my cheese?
It was long ago when I first read that book. I wondered at that time was it even worth reading. I thought probably it was for others but not for me. I didn't even have an idea what it was talking about. However, I think I know now.

I realized the day I entered the new campus on the first day of the second semester that things are not the same anymore. Not just things, I realized even people seem no longer the same. Worse, even friends seem to have changed! I hope it's not true but that's what it appears to me. I really wish it's not true!

When I came back all excited from Hyderabad, I rushed to the nearby mosque at the time of prayer. After 3 months of hearing the same Qira'at (recitation of the Qur'an) at my home town mosque, which was not so attractive, I was desperate to listen to the melody that I used to listen to here before summers. Yet, when I entered the mosque, things changed there too! It looked as if the committee of the mosque has changed or something has happened that I do not see the previous Imaam anymore in the mosque. Instead, there was a new Imaam. He was simply that typical Imaam that I so do not like. Even his Qira'at was simply rhetoric. And in the Friday sermon, only God knows what he was speaking. It was all nonsense to me!

Sigh! I just feel so out of place here. Or am I over reacting??
Things change! It's normal, but it's so unacceptable to me. I don't know what to do to gain back my sanity.
May be I should just accept everything or simply ignore everything!
God! Please help!
