Idyllic sunrise



When the mist fall down slowly and the sun was emerging over a cloud. It was perfect atmosphere to begin climbing mountain. An angelic voice was singing to me that sounds like a poetry. Birds chirping around made me forgetting the weight of my carrier. Dancing shadow of the tree, dancing lights on the leaves gave meaning to the earth.




Located in the center of java island, Slamet mountain divided this island into four pieces. It was my first mountaineering to climb second highest mountain in java island.
The sun opened my sore eyes and it emerged from the melancholy horizon, softly turn the universe into magnificent view called morning. Seeing northern sea on your left side and southern sea on your right side is the best combination to soar your imagination.



Ocean of cloud condensed gradually through its saturation point to be one of the stunning scene on the live drama, a stair to heaven.  

In the end of an idyllic sunrise was the serene feeling because it was so quiet. You began to realize that in that moment it’s just you, the sunrise and the universe.

She is a rainbow over the rain


Last month, on a gloomy day, I peered out over the balcony. My eyes took in the dark colors squeezing through clouds. The scent of the rain hung in the air as I watched the sky darken. The gloom of the cold day crawled into me like the damp into bare timber. Even I heard the bird song came to me as if from a deep well rather than from high in the trees. Then, from under the steady blanket of grey cloud came a heavy rain that moved like a mist in chaotic directions.

The morning was old as the coffee on my desk. I drank that coffee and started realizing that my life just like a photocopy machine. I wake up at the exact same time every day, do the same work as yesterday, meet the same people, go back to home through the same way, and fall asleep at the identical time. Tomorrow, it will be repeated over and over again. I was a walking zombie with meaningless life.

Suddenly, all of that changed when I met her. She is a rainbow over the rain. She is the river and the birds that sing a melodious tune. I feel her in the air, every breath of me recalling her in a way that sends electricity to spark my minds body and soul. She is medicine, she is light. I believe on my eye as a man that she is the most beautiful creature in the universe and her beauty doesn’t need a validation from instagram or path. But unfortunately, she is from other dimensions.

I can go anywhere with her, seeking the milkyway in the edge of Iceland, get lost to the center of earth in jomblang cave, enjoying sunrise at the santorini of Greece, eating mondhegili at night around Venice, and diving in the deep sea of Maldives.

My life changed from the first glimpse of her. She thought me to be a better person. Last week when I run out of ideas on my writing class task. She told me about becoming an idea magnet from Dee Lestari. Sometimes ideas come like lightning, in flash we are infested. Not knowing when or how. But sometimes ideas run out. We begin to think “Let’s give up”. So, it depends on your commitment. Once you prove your commitment the table will instantly turn. You will never run out of idea.
She is Steller, an apple’s best application in 2015.

Are we a robot?

Rhancodas shamaldas chancad, the genius man from 3 idiots movie said robot is a device that is used to help human job. Fan, handphone, also zipper are robots. But Wikipedia said that robot is a mechanical or virtual artificial agent, usually an electromechanical machine that is guided by a computer program or electronic circuitry. From my perspective, robot contains two basic component, electrical and mechanical. The first robot which I build in the first time was a Tamiya. Then time flies, I can make a complicated one. It looks like human, so people usually call it a humanoid robot.



This complicated machine can dance and walk like human. It takes a year to build her. Designing the body, assemblying the bones, routing the blood line, programming the brain until become a robot.
After that, I build an autonomous boat for surveyor. I call it Savinna. It operates in 2 modes, Manual Mode or Autonomous Mode. In Manual Mode, it is controlled directly by operator. The Operator can see Savinna’s movement through Ground Control Station and input the commands to Savinna with Remote Controll. In Autonomous Mode, Savinna moves based on GPS coordinates, that’s been set before. The GPS coordinates are set in Ground Control Station.



The next project is very challenging. I will make a robo submarine. This sub marine can dives 100 meters in the deep sea. You can control it from the station on the ground or you can be inside it and drive it to sea underwater scenery.



So, from the description I write above we can come to the conclusion. Are we a robot?
 First, technology grows very rapidly. One of the result is human that lose himself, human declines his working’s ability. Even, human is not only represents that jobs to robot technology and auto parts industries but also being robots, parts, and  screwdrivers for capitalism industry.
Second, something that was created by the greatest to be leader on the earth. Having good behavior, treating nature as partner, protecting weak people, doing humanity value as a lord’s robot.

Which do you choose?

A climber will miss the flowers are blooming immortality
Flowers that never wilt
Scatter the love of God and love without end
Pacify and bring peace
Always wanted to be kept from the destroyer

A lover will miss a real sweetheart
It never betrayed lover
He always comes with a smile and a face of hope
Bring happiness chastity

And you are the flower of eternal love

Pseudo Love


Should not have to get sick to undergo the passage of time that has been
You and I agree to undergo a fantasy romance
While hoping love never gives a sense of bereavement farewell
While trying to keep us not quarrel

You are spelled language of the angels, while I dissolve in no man's land temple
Might be able to make the day as a comrade lonely
Ah, did we ever feel lonely?
No, I never feel the pain lonely!
You must agree because we've promised

Ouch, promise
Where as strong as that word is able to withstand a passionate desire?
But I always try to make life more meaningful
With you always dwells in the soul
With you that keeps on giving light of hope and longing healers

Learning to Pope

Writen by: Sarjoko

The celebration of Easter 2016 left a lasting impression, not only for Christians, but religious people in general. It happened because the highest spiritual leader of Catholicism, Pope Francis, perform unusual rituals. At Easter, the pope washed the feet of twelve migrants of whom are Muslim, Christian, and Hindu. Not just a wash, the pope even kiss the feet of the migrants.
These events are very touching. Moreover, it was done a few days after Brussels bomb attacks that killed 34 people and left hundreds of others opens to. When some quarters to use the terrorism issue to develop islamophobia, Pope it gives the message that terrorism is not bound by any religion in the world. Moreover, Islam, the teachings rahmatan lil'alamin, Mercy for all creatures.
Pope action in respect of other faiths should be an example for everyone, even for Muslims. The Muslims have a duty to wage jihad in the strict sense, ie, to provide security for the worlds. Moreover, Allah affirmed in the Quran, Islam's holy book, that the duty of man on earth is to be a caliph (Sura 2:30). The main task of a caliph is to strike a balance in all aspects of life.
From the origin of said, Islam means peace. In the name of Islam means to show the elements of peace. Recognition terrorists that they fight in Allah's way is the recognition that unfounded. Because the act of terrorist scare contradicts with the fundamental values ​​of this religion. Therefore, as a devout Muslim, we have to show the true face of Islam. Abdurrahman Wahid, former Indonesia president said, 'We need a friendly Islam, not Islam angry'.
Rekindle the spirit of tolerance and love of followers of other religions are the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad and his companions. This is shown by the Prophet on different occasions. For example, is about the ministry of the Prophet Muhammad on a Jew who is blind. Every day there are things that are never abandoned by the Prophet Muhammad, which is to go to the market and feeds the Jew blind. When feeding people, the Prophet often hear the curses of the Jew who vilify the Prophet Muhammad. Instead angry with the Jews, the Prophet was even more show friendliness and affection. When the Prophet Muhammad died, it was followed by Abu Bakr.
It was weird, the Jews said that a person who fed him this time is not the ordinary people fed. Companions Abu Bakr said yes and explained that commonly fed is Muhammad, a figure that has always been the Jew lashing material. Explanation Abu Bakr was made the Jewish heart was touched.
The story of the Prophet Muhammad services to the Jewish people has become an example undeniable that Islam teaches tolerance, even to people who hated him. Because, basically, like the embers of hatred. If hatred confronted with hatred, that happened just a flame that is extremely powerful. Were able to extinguish the fire of hate is named affection snow.
Terror events in Brussels and many other places is the fruit of hatred being maintained by some people. He will continue to grow if addressed with the hatred of others. As an agent of good Muslim, it is our obligation to put out the embers with the great teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, peace based the doctrine of love, mercy, and compassion.
The Prophet has pointed out, it's time we move! We ready to become agents of a good Muslim?

This story I heard when visited to the home of Gus Irwan Masduki in Mlangi, Sleman. On that night, we intend to study a book written by Hasan Hanafi titled 'Minal Aqidah Ila Tsaurah'. As usual, the focus of this study was never discussed on the creed and the revolution as its title. The discussion always extends everywhere, and that is precisely what is quite interesting because it makes it rich discussion forum.
On one occasion, Gus Irwan tell if there are many Madurese in his Islamic school, called pesantren. Some people are often involved Madura 'fight' with Kebumenese. Madurese laughing Kebumen ngapak language, otherwise the Kebumenese also ridicules the Madurese language 'like that'. In schools, this kind of thing is very common and are referred to as 'gasakan' or teasing.
A Kebumenese told a story about Madurese experience on Mecca. Madurese very surprised to see how the city of Mecca so wallowing light. It is different with his village in Indonesia. "Why, so bright, cong! '" Said Madurese. Cong is designation for a boy in Madura.
Supervising Hajj was leading the congregation to thawaf in front of the Kaaba. Thawaf is one of the Islamic rituals of pilgrimage. It was then that the Madurese be surprised to see Abraham heritage building has become a center of the Muslims all over the world. With a loud tone of amazement, Madurese said: "No wonder Makkah so bright. Look at that! The battery is the enormous!"
Everyone who heard that so laughing.

The True Love

Writen By: Sarjoko

Sometimes we think of love. Love is a difficult way to thinking because it is not to think but to feel. There are people who've been together for decades but eventually foundered. There are people who know only a few days but then got married. There also have never met but straight married for matchmaking.
I have a true story of love experienced by one of my friends. A proverb: Witing tresno jalaran soko kulino. Love comes because it used. Maybe, some of us do not believe in this maxim. But I got a story that could make you believe this proverb. For confidentiality, I will disguise the names of characters.
One day, Ahmad visited home of Kiai Saleh. Kiai Saleh is a respected person in the village. Almost every day the house visited by the public for consultation many things, for education, worship, even married. He has a largest school in region. He has nine cute children when Ahmad visited. Besides, he was not too old.
“Assalamu’alaikum,” said Ahmad then answered by Kiai Saleh with wa’alaikumsalam. “Sit down, please.” Ahmad sat in front of Kiai. “How are you?” Kiai Saleh start the warm dialogue. “I am not good, Kiai” he said. Kiai surprised with Ahmad answered.
Kiai Saleh called an assistant to make drinks. Then he saw a man in front of him. “Tell me about your problem. Maybe, I can help you,” said Kiai.
“I have problem with my married, Kiai.”
“What the problem? Your wife still not pregnant? You are in jobless? Or what?”
Ahmad bowed. He just looked at the floor. “I got married because matchmaking. My wife is a daughter of my father friend. After the first meet, just only once, we got married with a simple party. I see my wife eyes. She is not enjoy with our married. After three month, she still often cry. I do not have the heart.”
“I am sorry to hear that. What are your plans?”
“I don’t know, Kiai. But, I can’t stand with this situation. Give me an advice.”
“What you said? You can’t stand?”
“I am sorry, Kiai. But this is sound of my heart.”
“Do you want to divorce?”
“If it is a best way, I will do it.”
“Astaghfirullah… In our religion, divorce is not forbidden. But divorce is most hated by God.”
“But I don’t know how to make her fall in love with me. I shy when my parents ask to me, when you have a child, Son?”
“Do you love your wife?”
“For the first time we meet, I fall in love with her. I promise. She is good looking. She is beautiful.”
“Listen. Do you know how much my children now?” Kiai Saleh said.
“I think seven.”
“Wrong. I have nine children. But I have same story with you. I got married by matchmaking. This is ordinary in my family.”
“So, when your first son was born?”
“When my married age was seven years.” Ahmad surprised with Kiai Saleh outgiving. “How can?” Ahmad asked to him.
“This is the power of patience. God always give us as we need to Him. You must believe that. We still in different bed until five years. When my wife went to her parent house, she would not be with me. At the first, I have same with you. I feel I have not enough power to stand in that situation. But my dad remind me that the married is worship. Worship is a way to heaven.
“Every day, I do things that are usually done by housewife. I cooking, washing, sweeping and others. While my wife, she always read of Quran. And you know, every night and morning , I must learn my students. But I did it for her.  One day, my wife sick. I did best for her. I always beside her.”
“Then, what happened, Kiai?”
“Be patience, Son. I will tell you what happened after,” said Kiai.
“Oh, I am sorry, Kiai. I am very enthusiastic with your story,” said Ahmad. He smile.
“In one night, my wife told me that she wanted to teach like me. She was memorized all of Quran verses. She asked to me to building a boarding islamic school for women. I said of course. Why not? I didn’t have much of money but I believe when there was a need, there’s a way. I told my father and He cried because happy. Then, He gave me much of money to built the building.
“Now, you can see it. I have a thousand student who live in this building. I have a lot of children. And my wife, She always beside me. Our love born from a great word: patience. This is true love.”
Ahmad cried when Kiai Saleh finished his story. He never thought that the great man with great personality like Kiai Saleh actually has a bad experience about love in his life. Everyone knew who the kiai is. Everyone knew who the father of Him. But patience change a bad story to the sweet story like in romance.
After that, Ahmad swore to Kiai Saleh to be patience.
