Last night and while I was watching TV after an exhausting day, I happened to watch Fadi Andrawos’ latest video clip: “Falastine w Lebnan“, i.e. Palestine & Lebanon; an extremely outstanding song addressing the “double identity” issue that irritates so many on this planet, especially if this double identity included the word Palestinian. I LOVED [...]

Whenever there’s a big move, there’s clutter, and wherever there’s clutter, there are countless attempts of organizing, and this means sorting out what to keep and what to get rid of. Now this ‘get rid of’ part is easier said than done. I had piles of different kinds of stuff I wanted to get rid of, [...]

Many of you already know that I left Tunis and moved to Dubai few weeks ago. And as all of you also know, moving is not an easy process, but to be honest, I didn’t really imagine it could reach a level of complication and stress that will make me suffer the way I did. [...]
