• Petra – New 7 wonders of the world competition

    Thanks to Batir for reminding us about the competition going on to pick up the new 7 wonders of the world. I guess that as a group of Jordanian bloggers we can do a lot to spread the word and encourage people to vote more and more. I have created a banner that links directly…

  • Lebnani

    I love this song of Ewan. The video clip is brilliant. It shows a lot of famous lebanese people either dancing, singing or just moving names of some who had left a finger print in the history of Lebaneze art. They are many. With every shot, we see happy dancing people. The lebanese people passion…

  • Jordanian women and marriage

    Her thrillment and enjoyment of the party gradually faded off. When she first entered the house, her mother gave her a big hug, she congratulated her with a smile “This is my girl, I m so proud of you my love, now you have become a real woman and ready to create your own family…

  • Marriage, love and society

    One of the beautiful things that I have learnt in childhood is the sacred of marriage. Having raised in a small home with two loving parents who don’t seize to show affection to each other, and hearing stories of cinderella, snow white and other fairy tales have created the notion of an eternal union between…

  • How wrong can be our perception of ourselves?

    How good can one build a perception about his own self? To know his stand among the group of people he belongs to, his abilities, others perceptions about him, his social level, character, how much he is loved, how intellectual he is, his smartness, …etc Reading the expressions of the other people we are dealing…

  • Gender/Gender Identity/Sexual Orientation/Social Role

    In our process of rejecting anything that looks different, we end up categorizing different kind of people under the same rejected group without even trying to get a clearer idea about the differences among them, or the reason they end up different than what we percieve to be the norm in our society. One has…

  • How much your way of thinking contradict with you behaviour?

    There seem to be some contradiction between people’s behaviour and their way of thinking which makes the common sense assumption of someone having such ideas won’t behave in a certain way a big fallacy. For instance, I percieve myself to be an open minded person, where I do understand other people’s behaviour, and condone a…

  • Eid wishes for all bloggers

    One thing I love about this communication era, is our ability to reach people who are not really close to us and whom we like to wish them happiness. A cell phone text message can do the job for many people where I don’t find it appropriate to call. A blog wishes can reach all…

  • Familiarity vs adaptation (working machine)

    I have quoted Mark Twain in a previous post about the power of familiarity. Familiarity breeds content, while un-familiarity breeds unease. In another post, I have introduced our built-in ‘washing machine‘, which is our natural ability as human beings to adapt to changes in life. At first glance, one would feel a contradiction between the…

  • Sickness and love

    Sometimes sickness is meant to show us how much we are appreciated and loved. A need that grow stronger when we feel weak. It isn’t in any way less pleasurble than sex when fullfiled. Sometimes having to stay in bed for sometimes give us the break we need of life. To be alone… stopping time……
