This is a piece about the rarity of logic these days. In fact, logic has become so rare that bearers of such a scarce commodity have become an endangered species. Now do not assume that I count myself amongst the logical, far from it; I have admitted to insanity a long time ago. I just…
The Evolution of Beauty – From Eve to Paris Hilton
You might think that resorting to extreme, and painful, measures for beauty’s sake, is a new obsession, but you would be wrong. Crushing beauty standards have always been there, they are just more apparent now, and have reached a new level of insanity, in the age of the village world, with our 24 hour satellite…
Life as a Couple: Can You be Too Honest?
You have promised each other no lies and no secrets, only truth and honesty. But does that really happen? Can you tell your partner everything you go through? And if you do not, for whatever reason, does that mean you are breaking your promise? Does that shake the mutual trust you are trying to build?…
What is Sexy: Subtle or Obvious?
I have said it before, but I will say it again: I am a firm believer in subtle sexiness; but I do acknowledge that sometimes being obvious can be very sexy as well. The act of audaciousness, in the proper context, is a turn on in itself. So maybe the question should not be which…
My Birthday This Year
My birthday was July 1st. I turned an undisclosed number of years (stick around I might disclose it later, who knows). But what does it mean anyway, turning an X number of years? The cliché answer is age is just a number… not really. It is not a number for menopausal women, or 20 year…
Equality and the Modern Woman
I do not believe women and men are equal, I also do not believe they are the same, and I certainly do not believe there is no difference between man and woman! What are you, nuts?! There, I said it! By now, a lot of male chauvinists are probably enjoying what I, a female, am…
What the Movies Taught Us
Make belief, la la land, otherwise known as The Movies. In spite of the fact that we know most films are based on fabrications, we tend to believe what we watch in them anyway.Deep down we just want to. Call it escapism if you will. You know what I mean. Because of the…
Do I do, or do I don’t?
What are the odds of finding the one person who knows you inside out, top to bottom, good and bad, and loves you enough to want to spend the rest of their life with you anyway? My guess is something like a billion, trillion, gazillion to one, or thereabouts. Add to that, how do you…
“Saly Seyamak” or What Ramadan is Really About
Seyam’s typical work day in Ramadan 10.30 Drag body to work (still half asleep and cranky as hell) 10.30 -11.00 Wish good morning and Ramadan Kareem to everyone he meets 11.00 Switch PC on. Log on to MSN Messenger. 11.00-11.15 Think about new MSN name and display picture for the day.…
The Name of the Game -Young Marriages
At first glance, this would seem like a very positive change in a society that of late, has been dunked, head first, in a massive barrel of negative attitudes, rude manners and unsavory methods of conduct, to say the least. This change probably meant that parents were beginning to take their kids and their emotions…
