I was born in Nazareth, Israel. My grandpa said it was called Palestine before 1948 when another people came to our land and confiscate our lands. So I grow up thinking that I'm an Arab Palestinian citizen living in Israel. But, how do I have a blue passport? Which means that I'm an Israeli citizen I'm one person out of 20% Israeli Arabs. I live in Israel in a country which declared itself as a Jew country rather than a country for all its citizens. I live here but when I ride the bus with other

His name is Sunshine. What a pretty name!  Like the brightness that greets a solitary mountain…like a sunray that kisses a cold morning sky…like a light that cheers up a dark and gloomy day…like a friend that touches the heart of another…that brings warmth to those around him…that smiles to his heartaches…that bids goodbye to his loneliness. 

His name is Sunshine…yet I met him when he was alone and sad…when the wind was too strong and the rain was heavy…when his radiance wouldn’t shine through th

 I shifted into a new house with my parents. It was a first floor house with a nice verandah and a terrace. After all the unpacking of things,  we settled in  a few days.  Soon I realized that we were not the only occupants of that place; there was a couple too, a pair of sparrows.

Raise the taste of my sadness + just smile once again.

How long the moon remains in eclipse? + remove the dark hair from your face.

I’m still sinless + put some blame upon me.

How long you will remain in darkness +  burn someone’s house again.

An ocean is calling + give it some water to quench.

Bid to translate from Urdu poem (Gazal)

My friend nida - one of our active members here on MyEC - just asked where all the blogs about Gaza are and if I have deleted all of them. I thanked her for asking and told her I didn't deleted the blogs. But I also told her that anything that may cause fights or hatred between MyEC members can be flaged or closed by the system, which means you can't see the blogs any more. 

I understand the subtlety of the situation in the Gaza Strip. I'm so sorry that so many lives there were lost. The question

Whether we like or not, China plays probably the most important role in India’s economic growth, military aspiration, diplomatic relations and influences the internal politics considerably. It’s the second largest trading partner of the India after UAE, and the main reason behind that made India’s largest importer of ammunition. Any discussion of India’s growth and development, without illustrating the role of China into it, is incomplete.

China’s knows very well that India has the largest demogr

Women´s Beauty

It is a hidden dream of almost every girl or woman to look gorgeously, to be at least once in a lifetime called beautiful, to see in someone´s eyes that she succeeded or to listen to praising words how awesome she looks like. Anyway, not all of us were born to be a model with the beautiful face, not all of us have the perfect figure and for sure not all of us have skills to represent ourselves in noble style, that´s why the goal to look beautiful might be for some of us hard work,

  I must say,we really enjoyed our Singapore tour. But I feel sorry not being able to upload some pictures here. In Singapore I have first enjoyed skiing in my life though it was inside of a shopping mall. And, not only this, in true sense I did and tasted many things for the first time for example, tried to eat an Indonesian dish and soup, tasted Durian,  ride on MRT and under ground train , watched pink dolphin show. Moreover, we hired a taxi at mid-night and moved around. 

I became surprised w

 Relationship & Trust

 A Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.

The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, "Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river."

 The little girl said,

 "No, Dad. You hold my hand."

 "What's the difference? Asked the puzzled father.

 "There's a big difference," replied the little girl.

A lot of things have been said on “Women participation in politics”. And a lot of steps have been taken as well. India is probably the fastest growing country on the track of women empowerment. The country realized this need much before her independence. In 1928 it was Nehru who proposed universal adult suffrage, when in Britain herself right to vote was not give to women. Similarly French Revolution happened in 1848 and women get right to vote in 1944.

The society was retrograde, because of prev

She is intolerant of mediocrity.

She has an ego of she is the best and others are down.

Tomorrow a function is held in our school to give the scholarship to me.

It is surely favouritism.

I am sure the paper is not evaluated by that teacher.

You should learn to appreciate others. I am only teaching you to differentiate between right and wrong. Appreciate the right things.
