I was standing tiptoed on my bed trying to reach a book on a shelf. What I ended up grabbing was collection of children’s stories. I read a few and became extremely nostalgic. I grabbed another book, and it was my own. At the back was a short biography, perfectly describing who I am (or was?) as a person and it read:
Maha thinks of herself as an art appreciator. She loves collecting the...
The Diverse People Around Me
Earlier today, my sister and I were discussing the use of the visual as a means of cultural and individual significance. Specifically, using what you see around you, your environment, as a means of trying to say something about who you are. The world around you, the people you see, the places you go, define who you are as a person. I don’t necessarily think this is true, not totally, and...
I haven’t been on a lot of airplanes. It’s just not something I’ve done much of, travel I mean. So each time I get to the airport all of the things that most folks find inconvenient I find interesting, and vaguely new and exciting. Though, lately every time I get on a plane it seems that I’m flying away from what I want and straight to what I don’t. I guess it all comes down to what we’re...
The beauty of conditioning yourself to get up early for classes in the week— getting up fairly early on weekends! on my mind: green tea AND hot chocolate. last night: submitted a story to Saudi Gazette. this is my second attempt at getting published by them; the first try was last spring and three months later i was all too prepared for the rejection email i received. maybe this year (with a...
I had a go writing about The Artist, have a read...
If there’s one thing I hate about cinema nowadays, it’s all the 3D nonsense. If you remember those old red-and-blue 3D glasses, you’ll also remember it was a passing fad. However the current 3D trend isn’t leaving, and this worries me. And now, with so many new CGI movies and old classics “reinvented” in 3D being churned out, I’m left in my corner fuming away that cinema has lost its...
You know what I’m gonna finish writing this stroy that I love dearly and I really want to see it grow. So yeah, I’m just tried of choosing not to write when the opportunity is sitting right in front of me. It feels good to be in that writing kind of spirit again.
Enough with the questions!!! KIDDING..
Really appreciate you making the time and effort to read my stuff..
Gotta go to collage.....
I enjoy writing. It’s easier than speaking. I don’t need to over think what I want to write because I can always erase written words. But I can’t take back spoken words.. There you have it :)
Ask Anything
One of the reasons I started this blog is because in real life I kinda hate sharing. And my default setting is quite locked down. So I’m trying to get some practice being less of a bank vault. That’s why I’d love for you guys to ask me a question or two anon or not and maybe I can get some aspect development out of it :)
I’m sorry I haven’t been writing lately.
I will try harder. I really want to get my work out there for people to read and for them to be inspired and moved. I want them to ache and soar and be hollowed out.
So, i will try harder.
