The apartheid wall is a huge barrier Israel has created to divide the land of Palestine, and to restrict the movement of its citizens. Up to 8 meters high in some areas, it runs along 708 kilometers, and completely encircles some Palestinians towns.

The wall separates the West Bank from the rest of Palestine, and prevents Palestinians from crossing except through some points highly guarded and full of soldiers.

Here are some pictures I have captured of the Apartheid wall from a Palestinian village

She held his arms and looked in his eyes with love. “I feel safe in your embrace, like I feel in my father’s”, she said.
She hugged him tight and buried her face in his chest.

I was standing behind a tree watching them secretly, wondering, if she is blind? 

FIRE FIGHTER

 ( POEM )

Why are you doing this, running your life?

With your batter and twisted rise.

Tell me not, in mournful number,

The soul will become dead, if u get slumber.

Life is not an empty dream__,

And things are not what they seem.

Many said that, this could not be done,

May be it could not, but he would be one.

He would never have said to be tired,

And always ready to play with fire.

He would have the courage like a lion,

He is such a man of such high on.

 (POEM)

We are washed clean by the blood,         

And white faces turned into red.

The stone face of us has the gain,

Feelings and emotions are to be banned.

Icy breath, melting away with its spade,

Under the blade of it its fade.

From the beginning, the star of a people,

Have found their journey to vital fate.

The shadow of tear has widened in girth,

No one here is full of mirth.

Are we the men, alike with flies?

Have trodden in the hands of wanton boys.

The lane of the life have trapped into

(like) water off duck's back

The above idiom means one is not insulted or upset from criticism from someone else. If I say the bad opinion about me is like water off duck's back, I mean I am not insulted or upset by the someone's rude remarks.

Okay, First I would like to say, Plural marriage is not a part of my culture ( it happens rarely and most of the people do not like it) though majority people of my country are Muslims and it is true. Here, in the most cases, when a man wants to marry for the second time common practice is he divorces his first wife. And, yes, if a woman wants to remarry or wants to leave her husband she does the same thing. But,another true is, in some cases it happens, I mean plural marriage, in the remote are

If one wants to write something in English, they need vocabulary to use in their writing. Therefore, it is essential to have enough amount of vocabulary in one's head. 

But it also depends on what they want to write about. If one needs to write an academic paper they need to know a range of sophisticated and highly advanced English vocabulary, let alone using them appropriately. But if one wants to just write about their daily life they need not have as complicated and advanced as the ones mentio

Husband: Darling, may I marry

Dear ME,
There will come time, when you will lose those, who were yours. When you will be drawn away because of the circumstances and they will get used to being without you, you will understand it, that You can never be a DORK around them anymore. Maybe you will try to hold on to what's left, to pull it back together. But... It will be too late. My dear self... Be strong and let go of them. I know you were always very good to them but they are different now. Leave with your head held high. End

Teach English in China

Honestly, I don’t consider myself a “beach person.” I always migrate toward cities, where I can find quirky restaurants and fun bars.
However, China is a huge country full of bustling cities.I lived in Shenzhen, a tier-1 city in Southeast China, for a year. As much as I loved this metropolis, I needed a change in scenery every once in a while. That’s why I started hopping on buses and riding to nearby beaches. Everyone needs an occasional we

Dear ladies!

I would like to congratulate you all today, you know today is International women's day! Yes, I know some people tend to think why a day for the women or what its purpose or why a day is marked  for them (for the women)?

Well, first I want to say, we are still struggling around the globe for many things, somewhere to fulfill/get  basic needs, somewhere not to be abused, somewhere to  get  chance to go to school, to get freedom as a woman and human being, to say what we like to do that

Dear Women!

I think, that men should cherish You everyday, not only one day a year.

That's why I blame myself because of posting this blog today.

My wishes are simple and short! :)

May this world be better for You!

If You like to walk on a road, lined by the petals of roses.

Then let there always be men, to spread those petals for You.

If You are afraid of the dark.

Then let the moonlight shine in the darkest moments and light Your way so brightly, that You would feel like You are on a podium.

She looks whole and fine outside
But i can feel the emptiness inside of her
She looks cool and strong outside
But i feel the brokenness inside of her
Her soul cries out with heartsick of lamentations
And it left some grave cutlets in to my heart
Why do i feel so broken to see her?

I reach out my hand to help
But she resists and just wouldn't reach back
I enclose myself to embrace and confort her
But she just keeps pulling to one side
Eschewing my mercy
As if she was the strongest person on Earth
If only i

The fox said, "Use your mind, for God's sake, and tell me how you sit on the chair of the throne with your tail underneath like that?"

The donkey said, "I didn't think about that and it didn't cross my mind either."

"That was why the lion wanted to cut it." Prompted the fox.

The donkey said, "You were right and true, take me to him to apologize, so that we can arrange the matters."

The fox took the donkey with him for the third time.

Then the donkey said, "I am sorry, and I am ready for whatever you
