Arabs 2010..


Brief History.. with no offense; among the Arabs of 2010:
The age group of 1940th were mostly patriotic Public Servants..
Mine of the 1950th had created the concurrent chaos..
The 1960th still contradictorily struggling to name their era..
While the 1970th widely masters taking the short cuts..
The 1980th are sincerely enthusiastic for everything..
The 1990th are already globalized..
Probably the 2000th will give up their IDs..!!!
This is very clear around the Mediterranean..
Maybe it applies elsewhere as well..

Post-Home Syndrome...


Maliha; a friend of mine and ex-colleague; who got married and joined her husband in USA, complained on her unsettled thoughts of being in USA or India.. It is a legitimate question by many people.. My answer was a summary of theirs and mine..
"No one can step down from universal to national, from urban to suburban, or from easiness to the counter.. Yet thanks to Budget airlines, Telecom solutions, and Globalization to erase the borders worldwide.. Home is further a virtual concept for who had experienced the “Post-Home Syndrome”.. The Knowledge Immigrants around the world.. Live it as it is, there is no satisfying answer..!!"

Beyond the Words..

Sometimes words are not enough..!!
Yet, great windows to incredible worlds beyond our sight..!!
Sonja Williams is an unknown Aussie Poet.. Yet, touched my heart..
Did she touches yours..?

When tomorrow starts without me..
When the sun should rise and find your eyes..
all filled with tears for me..
While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say..
I know how much you love me..
as much as I love you..!
and each time you think of me..
I know you will miss me too..
So, when tomorrow starts without me..
Don't think we are far apart..
For every time you think of me..
I'm right here in your heart..
Though there were times you did things..
you know you shouldn't do..
But you have been so faithful..
so trusting and so true..
So, won't you take me by the hand..
and share my life with me..?
So, when tomorrow starts without me..
Don't think we are far apart..
For every time you think of me..
I'm right here in your heart..

Malaysian Politics..

Isandar Region, a Malaysian Future
Either to go well & right.. or be ruined by Politicians..!!

Najib Abdul Razak's budget speech drew loud jeers from the opposition and shouting of his wife Rosmah Mansor's name. The first instance occurred when Najib announced plans to turn Malaysia into a shopping haven with a proposal to exempt some 300 items from import duties.

RM212 billion allocated for Budget2011, which is 2.8% higher than the allocation for 2010 RM45.6 billion will be allocated for Development Expenditure, RM15.5 billion for the social sector Government revenue collection is estimated to increase 2.3% to RM165.8 billion in 2011, up from RM162.1 billion in 2010 The defi...cit for 2011 is expected to further decline to 5.4% of GDP, compared with 5.6% in 2010

Only 30% of Malaysians obtained higher education qualifications (as of 2005), compared to Singapore’s 46%, Thailand’s 41%, South Korea’s 89%. 80% of our workforce have only received secondary level (SPM) education & only 25% of our workers are highly skilled (as of 2007), compared to Singapore where 49% are highly-skilled, Taiwan 33% and South Korea’s 35%.

CWG 2010 in India..


The Commonwealth Games had started with bad echoes, and ended in incredible absolute silence..
Only because organized by India..!!
A bitter fact in a discriminative globalization..
However, when Indian girls win the killer race of 4x400, it means a lot for who knows the track..!!

Omar Thiab..


I was speechless for a while..!!
When all past times rushed into my vision and senses..
Always true memories are too valuable to measure..
Would time freeze or takes us back for a while..??
Search for reasons to continue..!


TECOM-Dubai 2001-2006
We had shared building an exceptional City, Culture and Love..
An experience a "like-no-other.."
We may went apart in life, but still close at heart..
My Allah swt bless all loving hearts and minds..
 
I love you dear Omar..
I love you all; the wonderful guys of TECOM..

Nobility..


A simple comment from a dear friend had initiated long discussion on social eligibility and implication on matchmaking.. Yes, it seems one of those topics of pointless chat, yet it is critical and serious as a corner stone for the social order and development..

His point was typically the oriental one; "No escape from the upbringing criteria and a must crack between any socially-unmatched couples.." Certainly; I refused, as social grading is an adaptable behavior, subject to convections, not a rank or a stigma that would keep the person imprisoned within..!

I recall ordinary men and women, who happened to seize opportunities; which had elevated their social status and forced them to handle different habits and costumes.. Remarkably they mastered and finally established their own Noble Social Order..!!

Across the Oriental communities; among Arabs, Turkish, Indian, Persian and Chinese, the social grading is sacred and strongly alive despite urbanism, literacy and politics. Ancient Europeans had given up the same post the industrial development of 1800th. African had fewer taboos, as their social grading is changing, rotating and practical. South America still keeps alive the Latin mind-set, while the Northern along with Oceania had trashed away such thinking. However, it is notable that the New World has a slow yet patient trend to allow the rebirth of Nobility and Dynasties..!

Yes, Nobility had started with myths on racial, knighthood or kinship backgrounds, yet wealth always acted as both seductive and destructive elements to nobility.. Nobles had always earned a lot by their titles, while wealthy had sought any nobility to purchase.. Social and radical theories had questioned the economics of Nobility and their righteous eligibility or justification.. Nobles of 20th century attempted to act as ordinary more than how the common had dreamed to act as nobles.. Nobility somehow, in many destinations became a stigma rather than a rank..!!

Frankly, the demise among people in terms of social ranking, is very effective and successful in creating motives for national upgrade, with subsequent efforts to create, build, gain and sustain.. Across all times; greed had always changed the humane landscape; while urgency had inevitably fueled the social debate, challenge and interactions.. Therefore, matchmaking is lawfully called “X Factor” interpreting no-ranking; as well as love knows no boundaries..!

The Political Flash-Mob..!!



Wikipedia says:
"A flash mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and pointless act for a brief time, then disperse..”

My questions:
How far we are from such a phenomenon in our political life..?
How great our support or opposition to the ruling powers..?
How influential are our demonstrations or fight with riot police..?
How long our debate would last, before moving into another exciting topic..?
Is there a sustainable reason to protest or support..?


My generation failed to sustain the deliveries..
New generations are impatient for theories..
Commonly, people had enough to suffer or remember..
I shall miss our united Sudan..!!
 
It is the dawn of United States of East Africa..
USEA: Remember the Appreciations..!

Odds..!!



Do we celebrate the issues as how they may be heartedly wished or comfortably adoptable to our very own lives..? or just because they trigger a particular sense, or nonsense of ours; despite the fact that we cannot adopt them into our very own lives..?

What are the demises between Trend & Fashion, Discretionary & Compulsory, Tasty & Necessary..??

Let's talk Sincerity..!!

I need to go back to School…!!
