“…the Gods are grumpy but Biri feels light today, Biri has a golden sense of humour and the gods do not get that .. “**

I am late, I am always late and if I die one day I am afraid I will be blamed for dying on the wrong day or in bad time .. but thats is a topic for another day today I am hoping to write about Kolena Laila or Lolita as I secretly call it

I must admit writing about Lolita today might be a bad idea as i am in sort of a very odd mood these days

Kolena Laila is an online initiative to encourage dialogues focused on Gender issues, a dialogue  by the entire society in the Arab world. The initiative has started in Egypt and now it is spreading out. What i like about Kolena laila is the fact that it is an organic entity that evolves with time and changes as new members (new ideas and new blood) join in and in all that I had the pleasure to be part of this entity and did my very small part  although I was always late for my deadline

Kolena Laila , the way I see it,  is not exactly a point of view that tries to prove itself in the society but it is simply a group of people who agree on the necessity of opening the gender related issues to a debate, those people who have completely different views and back ground believe that a social development must come from within the society and i believe it is a very healthy phenomena and a very good culture to have, I hope in the future many other problems (and there are too many to count) such as the gender question in the Arab World can learn from Kolena Laila experiment

saying that, this is only my way of seeing it others in the initiative might see it differently

to know what Kolena laila is and how to help or to oppose it please do click on the image and visit the website, it is available in both English and in Arabic.

*Lolita a controversial Novel by Vladimir Nabokov .. worth reading !!!

Dear Friends,

for sometime i wanted to change the site completely, my blog will stay as it is but there will be changes in the lay out and i will create a section of some technical projects i am running at my spare time.

i am not a web desinger (not even close) so there is a good chance that i will screw things up. starting next weekend i will be working on the site till the 7th of December. during that time i will be doing some tests and experiments so if you are following my blog in reader or any other RSS way i would recommend that you unf-ollow me till the 7th od December.

also if you can recommend any reading materials or tips regarding web Design and CSS\PHP i will be greatful

unknown dish

last night i came home with a friend and i had this master plan to cook “THE PERFECT DISH” a dish that is so good it will fight crime, while thinking that i have released that titling some food by THE PERFECT DISH is due to brain damage caused by watching too many idealistic cartoons in my early years

unknown dish

while my friend was wondering if anyone has cooked what i was describing to him (let alone if i have cooked it before) i was having my own doubts but it turned out alright … well a bit salty and the rice was more like mashed potatoes than rice but other than that the main dish was not bad at all but it was not the PERFECT DISH yet,i guess crime will have to wait for a while

now i am feeling hungry again, it is good to know i have brought some of it for lunch today

any suggestions to name this thing will be appreciated
