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.
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 am very touched...truly touched. I have goose bumps all over, am so touched... Finally, the puppy "Rachet", was saved from the flames of burning Baghdad by one of your brave boys - Sergeant Gwen Beberg. Gwen is a hero. He saved puppy dog "Rachet" in extremis , from a dump of a garbage that was set on fire...Saved him from the bubonic plague and the cholera , from the imposed junk of our lives... On Sunday, brave Gwen took his last flight out, to Minnesota and thanks to over 10'000 signatures, through an online petition, brave Gwen was able to adopt "Rachet" and give him the American green card. "Rachet" will now become a "civilized" American citizen. And needless to say, the mounting pressure on the American Department of Defense, thanks to your generous hearts, signatures and petition, was not able to refuse "Rachet" as a new fellow citizen of the United States of America. This has been a great learning experience in yo
A surge, a crackdown, three Iraqi women to be hanged with no legal counsel, no witnesses and no defense, Iraq's VP , tortured and to be executed, a blast in two markets with over 120 dead and over 140 wounded,the continuous siege of Haifa Street, Al Adhamyia, Karrada,Al Amariya, Al Amil,Al Yarmouk...So please tell me where to begin ? To simplify this monumental task I will start with the obvious. A blast rocks Al Shorja and Al Haraj markets in downtown Baghdad. Over 120 killed and hundreds of injured, black dense smoke covering half of Baghdad. The reports say "a predominantly Shia" area, I say horseshit. Anyone who knows downtown Baghdad knows that these two souks are nothing but a mixed commercial area. The blast happened whilst Maliki, "the shah'n'shah" of Iraq has declared not 1 minute of silence but 15 minutes of silence to reflect on the blast that rocked Samarra a year ago. 15 minutes of reflection by Maliki is a tall order indeed. Reminds me o

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
