Who am I ? The eternal Question . Have not figured it out fully yet. All you need to know about me is that I am a Middle Easterner, an Arab Woman - old enough to know better. I have no homeland per se...All the rest is icing on the cake. Copyrights reserved 2006-2020
Thoughts for the New Year.

On the other blog (here) - for those who care and for those who could not care less...
Sad, that today only I saw your blog (or writings). Fortunately, one of my friend forwarded this to me. I had read that 'Dont interrupt me..i have lot of things to tell you' and had incidentally translated and posted in my own Malayalam blog http://rajeevechelanat.blogspot.com and then received link to your two blogs.
It was a wonderful experience reading you.
Myself Rajeeve Chelanat, 45, Indian, from the state of Kerala, presently working in Dubai and active in some socio-political organisations, with far-left political views. Your writings on political and social issues do carry profound emotion, sympathy to humanity and straight-talk.
Salute
Do you mind, if I take some of your postings and translate to put in my blog, so that more people read such things. Malayalam blog is still in its infantile stage with more silly talks and less politically.
my email id is rajeeve.chelanat@gmail.com
Salute and looking forward to reading you more and more
I have been without my computer for a while, all is OK now.
That was a truly mind blowing clip. I am going to download it and put it on my meditation (sleeping) mp3's. It wasn't just the singing, the dancing also. It would be easy to get lost in it. You have good taste.
I vowed to smoke less, but am very stressed, so I am smoking more. I don't have neighbours (fantastic), and my dislike of the US is fairly well known, my occupation is nearly occupied out, and I absolutely love the cold weather.
Happy New Year, Layla. May the winds of furtune blow gently on you for 2008.

You have always exquisite musical taste, dear Layla: Bocelli is a giant and Dulce Pontes melts your senses into seafoam...
As for that other matter, leave "straightness" to lines and streets, and be very proud of your harmoniously "curved" tail/heart :-)
Happy New Year, or better still, Happy One Less Year to Victory.

Layla, for the sake of crying out loud, could you kindly go to the comment section of your post "A one way ticket - hopefully" and see if you can fix that "Rhuslancia" problem once and for all.
Thank you.

Karlmarx--wonderful to see your post, today. Great, as usual. I agree with Ms. Chelanat from the Malayalam blog, above, and glad to see, hopefully, further dissemination of your writings in India, Kerala. Excellent! Superb!!I'm SURE your sensibilities will be, and, clearly are, appreciated in numerous cultures.

Layla, you are the one true friend and consolation of my existence.
Just felt the need to tell you (in case you forgot) :-)
Nice to see you back and all my best wishes to you for 2008. Lucky for not having any neighbors-will need some magical potion to neutralize them for good.
so am I! RhuslanCIA is an American govt agent. Him and his buddies by the name of Jefferey, CHMAR (hahaha), and others carrying some dubious names like Louise from Alabama, Lynette in Minesota, etc...are all working for Uncle Sam. Their tasks are as follows.
- monitor Iraqi blogs. They will not bother with those who are pro American, or who link, cut and paste. Their aim is to target those who actually think and who exhibit any form of dissent.
- they are to continue propagating the official administration propaganda and cover up through slander, lies and deceit (the usual) anyone who dares expose them.
- They are also there, to pick on any "sympathizer" and track them down...
In other words, they are CIA/FBI paid agents.
RhuslanCIA is an idiot, like most of them....and he is a fungus. I think I tackled his sort in my latest.
I find women far more interesting than men...more interesting in nearly every subject.
Especially in Iraq, the Women have lost so much due to this unforgiveable assault by powers that came thru the gates of hell.
In today's Iraq, they are in situations where its safer to silence their toungues, lower their eyes and cover their 'beauty'. This should not be.
the Women..are the seeds of the Earth, but a woman's journey is much more difficult than a man's
yes..all we need is Love

Layla, Flower of Mesopotamia, as the first time visitor to your site I'm truly in awe of your wisdom and honesty. Please, for the sake of humanity take the good care of yourself, your country will need you, when Sionist Crusaders finally leave throuh the Small Door as Sadam predicted. Your pen is mightier than milion Kalashnikovs.
The following are excerpts from an Urgent Appeal addressed to Ban Ki Moon of the United Nations on behalf of the hundreds of Iraqi detainees in US custody. While the Americans claim that the number of Iraqi detainees in their camps is not more than 10'000 or so, maybe even less, the reality is far different... And I shall quote from the text which can be found here . dated 11th March 2010, written by WATA - World Association of Arab Translators and Linguists and published on the Brussels Tribunal Website. "... we would like to inform you that the USA occupying forces in Iraq have locked-up more than (162,000) hundred and sixty-two thousand Iraqi citizens in more than (50) prisons and detention camps including (28) camps run by US occupying forces, in addition to many undisclosed investigation and incarceration centers over Iraq. The number of detainees registered in International Red Cross records is around (71,000) Seventy-one thousand, the other detainees are not
Let me teach you a few words in Arabic. Ashes is "Ramad" and Dust is "Turab" which also means earth, the soil, and "Turba" may also mean tomb or more exactly the grounds where someone is buried. Ramad and Turab is what Ramadi looks like today. Ramadi in the Anbar province. The hated Anbar, part of the "triangle". The ever so despised Anbar by both the Americans and the Iranians. The hatred was most evident today. The American Forces - wait, I take that back - they are not forces, they are cowards. The American cowards bombed Ramadi today. Many homes were demolished. A family of thirteen was buried under the rubbles. More than 26 civilians were killed, out of which 4 women and several children. Two infants, the youngest was 1 month old. Men rushed to the ruins trying to rescue whatever human form they can find. Bare hands, rugged, dust covering their faces and hair, digging and digging... Most had nothing but a shirt on. No vest, no sweater, no n
I vaguely remember the title of this film. It was “Looking for Mr.Goodbar”, starring Diane Keaton, if I recall correctly. Another neurotic, desperate, dependent, insecure, American “woman”, looking for love in all the wrong places... An emotional survival story. I've read a lot of your so-called emotional survival stories... Your dog dies, and you seek emotional survival by either sleeping with the first pretender or you are stuck in therapy for another 5 years. You lose your job and there you go, acting out, fucking around as if there is no tomorrow... You grandparent or parent dies and ditto, you recourse to the same... Your twin towers collapse and ditto again – you have been in therapy ever since. Your therapist is very understanding, after all you pay him/her over 200 dollars an hour and she/he pats you on the back and tells you it’s ok, it’s nothing but a phase of grief...don’t punish yourself, you are just trying to heal... How very touching indeed. You the puritanical, hall

Hi again, I did reply to you on the last thread. Kindly check it.
Thanks.
Nice to see you back and all my best wishes to you for 2008.

Thank you, am glad at least one person here enjoys my kind of music...
Best to you too.
so am I!

I am still waiting for you to change that pseudo of yours.
I am also hoping that you start blogging so I can take a long break...

You and me have countless things in common, not only musical taste...
The difference between us is that you have CONCRETE MEMORIES to draw strength from...
I only had high-flying dreams of a life in Iraq and they got all shot down...
Cursed be the Invasion for my aborted "self" too.
never give up
