Walked my sister to the LRT station early in the morning as my mum was out of town. I was only so brave to walk back alone in the semi-darknessbecause I knew people would be walking around the mosque especially during Ramadhan. In fact, I was looking forward to my lone short walk home, absorbing the peaceful silence and the fresh air and relishing the absence of the cars. I was presented with this blissful sight on my walk home passing the mosque as the sun rises with a breathtaking beauty. Instantly diminishing any sombre thoughts or worries.
Not the best of quality as I snapped this with a camera phone but you get the idea =)
Stumbled upon this while I was flipping though the channels - it is Iran seen from a different angle. Just about every scene defies the general perception painted by the world media. In this show, you'll the people of Iran rapping (with a Mullah watching the performance), dunking, reciting the Quran, women working freely, synagogues operating peacefully.. (despite the fact that their President wanting to destroy Israel). In other words, you'll see a relaxed Iran. Most of you would be pleasantly surprised by what you'll see; but that just shows how the media has successfully tainted our minds (not just on this issue). I strongly recommend you to watch the full episode (on this link http://bit.ly/dsfqry) and follow this show - Don't Tell My Mother. Its nice when this kind of refreshing perspective just drops into your lap unexpectedly.
One of the many fascinating scenes. This Mullah, for instance, has a son who is a rapper.
On top of that, reading Harry Potter books has always been a great escapism for me. Just finished reading Deathly Hallows again. Trailer's awesome. Cannot wait for the movie to come up! =)
BRILLIANT poster
There is no need to focus so much on the negative side of things, it is pointless and it will only eat you.
