R.I.P. Tariq

When ever someone pass by and hear his death, you see their faces get puzzled until they saw his photo and their faces suddenly get white and sad, they are shocked to know the happy and jolly character has died.

Only used to say "hi" and no more word, despite knowing his family, relatives and background.

It's not easy for anyone to accept his departure to his next phase, that's circle of life.

To Ahmed Kamakazy,  Al Maskari and Al Mahrooqi family, we are so sorry for your loss. Also Nada, Ghaniya, Adam and Anisa, you'll be missing him allot.

Your present going to be missed at Bank Muscat HQ.

I was told that allot of men attended his funeral ceremony despite been held at midnight. It shows how people loved him and his family too.

Allah Yerhamak,

A thousand words

My sister and I decided to go and attend a comedy movie and "A Thousand Words" was the only movie available to watch.

It was less of a comedy and more of a drama, which revolving about inner self search, family ties and how to get over anger, and amendment with self and others. It's all about forgiveness from heart and soul and move on with life by opening new chapter, it's also about maturity and not only thinking about our selves but others too.

Russell Peters on St. Patrick's Day!

Yes, Russell Peters performed a stand up comedy show for the first time in Oman on St. Patrick's Day, the auditorium is almost full, and people are still pouring in to see him.

People were looking for tickets to see the Anglo-Indian performance, allot of people were looking for re-sale tickets, people from different age, nationalities were moved.

I didn't see any of Russell's stand up shows, so I didn't know how he was, I just went to change the atmosphere and to enjoy the company. I bumped into allot of people, was happy to see and meet new people.

Russell write's up pg 15 and I didn't know how censored it will going to be, for Oman, a was a bit embarrassing even for liberal minded people, as it was not part of our culture to openly joke about sexual topics.

Despite all that, people enjoyed it, and hoping for more entertainment events, not like someone said while walking out the avenue after the show ended "Will wait for another show after 3 years". Please prove him wrong.

KONY 2012 - The Film

Kony 2012

A thirty-minute documentary titled "Kony 2012" about Joseph Kony, war criminal. The documentary is by film maker Jason Russell for the campaign group Invisible Children Inc. It was released on March 5, 2012 via the internet created awareness of the war criminal and aim to put stop of his barbaric behavior towards humans, specially children.

Celebrities are taking part of the campaign and people are broadcasting information about Joseph Kony and thanks to internet technology, allot of people are googling about "Kony".
I haven't seen it video, but worth watching and sharing it with everyone, specially the young generations to be aware of it.

Once Upon A Time

We all once upon a time believed in fairy tales, thanks to animated movies, such as Cinderella, sleeping beauty, snow white, etc. My childhood was filled with such characters beside Rapunzel as well as Hansel and Gretel, which I countess watched it while playing with my sisters.

Once upon a time I was a child, enjoyed the fruit of life, from swimming to playing outdoors, got a chance to cycle on my bike, roller skate, skate on ice, and skateboarding too which I once owned a small one purple colored funky look. I also tried many activities such as painting, piano and bale dance. I am still found of music, more of piano, qanoon and drums, all depends on my mood. My regret is not continuing learning piano instrument. I recall a Japanese girl who lived in my building, a flat right bellow mine was practicing on her piano on a daily base.

I also played video games which I once owned Atari and Nintendo as well as board games.

Now I'm watching Once Upon A Time, the TV series opened up the hidden enchanted forest in me, which filled with hope, dream to be come something other then my self.

I consider Once Upon A Time the best TV series I watched in year 2012, and the best episode was "Skin Deep", aka. The Beauty and The Beast, the story revolve around Rumplestiltskin (in fairy tale world)/Mr. Gold in the real world and his love to Belle in fairy tale.
