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.
For God's sake, tell me where to begin? I was set out to write about Father's day and the thousands of fatherless Iraqi children.The thousands of killed fathers, the thousands of fathers trying desperately hard to feed their families, daily putting their lives at great risk, in a country gripped by demonic violence. The exiled fathers, selling scraps in Amman and Damascus, bearing the brunt of daily insults. Or the unemployed fathers, feeling torn inside watching their kids go hungry. Or maybe the head bent down father, slouched posture, hiding scars beneath a worn out shirt. The father that has been imprisoned, humiliated, tortured and sodomized, unable to look his children in the eyes... Or maybe I should write about sexual torture and sodomy instead... The further horrors emerging from Abu Ghraib and the Taguba report... More reports of "abuse". And I am sure Abu Ghraib is not over. I am certain that more Abu Ghraibs are taking place in Iraq, in those shadowy deten...
Yes why? What for? What does it say about you? What does it say about your countries? What does it say about your institutions? What does it say about your governments, your "culture", your "civilization", your history, your "progress", your "values", your concepts...? Have you ever stopped and pondered these questions? Have you ever stopped and asked yourselves ; how come? How come we are so advanced, how come we are so democratic, how come we are so great, how come we are so free...And how come we allow so much murder, oppression, abuse, go unaccounted for ? Have you ever asked yourself this question ? I was just listening to the BBC World radio. A report from Oxfam - and in your eyes that makes it credible - over 70 % of us Iraqis, no longer have access to clean drinking water. I say no longer have because I remember not so long ago, one could turn on the tap and drink. As simple as that. The report goes on to say that over 50% of Iraqis are u...
I am very pissed. I do not have many kind words towards my fellow Iraqis. Let me qualify here, before you start jumping to conclusions. I have no kind words towards that category of Iraqis who gave it away for Free to the Americans and the Iranians. I have absolutely no respect for them, no consideration and zero sympathy. I have zero respect for those bastards living and working in the Green zone. I have total disdain for those who voted and now come meagerly complain about "lack of the promised democracy"..."but we voted" broken record. Sure you voted. You voted for your sects and your wallets. I have absolutely no sympathy for those who applauded and filled their blogs with hurrays "Saddam is gone" and now cry over poor Iraq...and congratulate themselves with cheap words of sympathy coming from the occupier. It took a bunch of your kind to make it happen. Now you have lost it all. I do not want to be too cruel and say you deserve what you are getting be...

Hi again, I did reply to you on the last thread. Kindly check it.
Thanks.

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

I am also hoping that you start blogging so I can take a long break...
