creamy, tightly packed sweet kernels yet infused with the chilli flavour of aromatic spices. Some savor it like gourmets, some gourmands, but a good many take it precooked and swallow them down whole, absent-mindedly and with little relish.

On Doubt...

we all face doubt sometimes... and now I am like a wooden rod of bamboo. No sooner have you had it bent than it strikes back straight again... the problem lies not in me minding these gymnastics, but is in the people whom my strike hits...

I once heard this...


"what you feel only matters to you, it is what you do to the people you love that counts"

Maktoob

His lightness strike my surface like the glittering sun strikes the surface of the salty lakes that surround the oasis. My soul glittered with a thousand stars, and on my surface the reflection of the raw human nature sparkled as the weathered rocks are reacreated inside the lake's glassy waters....with likeness, the conical hills are recreated... for now I can see how in this rawness he is my likeness.

A word spoken by nature, and it is nature that dwells inside his soul...


"يا فطرة سمحة و نفوس رقيقة
انا لما جيت اخدم الطريقة
شيخنا الي عارف سر الحقيقة
بسط يمينه و قال يا مريدي
عينك في عيني و ايدك في ايدي
كل الخلايق اخوات شقيقة
احلف بنون و المؤمنون
قلب الليلة دي اخضر حنون"
فريد الدين العطار (1142 - 1220 ) من ديوان جوهر الذات
