She wore a
lotus flower
dipped in
gold
around her
neck.
It was
cherished.
She felt
loved.
Where is
the lotus
flower now?

I am lost
Understand it any way you like.
I am without direction
At a time
When I should have been well on my way
Up the stairs
But like the priest
At the top of the temple
You hold forth your palm
And tip me back.

Where shall

Can I float back
In time,
Reach out
And perhaps
Hold your hand
Again?

Being brave
Was just a sham,
A decoy
to hide
behind,
As I salvaged my pride.

You are there,
I can see you,
But not;
Behind the veil
Of inconsistencies
In my life.

Slipping into half truths,
A creation of
Someone
Far bigger than
Me;
Like standing
Before a mountain,
I feel
Minute.

What do men want from women in long term relationships?
Wait, don’t go just yet.
As I was skimming the newspaper this morning, I came across Dala’a Al-Mufti’s article expressing her exasperation with a male friend who was looking for a wife but not any wife: One that is like the women in Bab Al-Hara (A popular [...]

A joke I heard on the BBC’s Business Daily radio programme:
The wife of a CEO decides to surprise her husband by turning up at his office unannounced. She walks in only to find his secretary on his lap.
Without skipping a beat, the CEO continues with his dictation:
“And finally gentlemen, credit crunch or no credit crunch [...]

Qatr-en-Nada, more commonly known as Nada, was a plumper, and wider but petite version of Betty Boop. Contrary to what connotations her name might carry in other languages, in Arabic Nada means Dew and Qatr-en-Nada means Dewdrops. She had a romantic name and her personality was equally so, always heaving and sighing over torrid love [...]

Despite globalization and the spread of some uniform standards of ideals that define attractiveness and appeal, there still remains much to understand about the differences amongst the cultures of the world.
Socio-cultural perceptions with regards to looks naturally differs from culture to culture. A recent psychological study found that a man with a stubble, not a [...]

One of the Ramadan TV serials I followed last month was Al-Dayyah, a Kuwaiti work that takes place in a pre-oil Gulf environment. The central theme in the story is of rape and its consequences on all the people involved.

Abdulla sounded very grave but gently encouraged her to tell him. What Alia couldn’t see was the sudden break out of sweat on his forehead.

There is a strange stereotype of women being afraid of mice or rats.
Once at work in Kuwait, I walked in to find all the women standing on their chairs or desks. The reason of course was a little mouse who had been scurrying about, most probably terrified by all the shrieks of terror its presence [...]
