I’ve always wanted to share this with everyone.. I received it a while back on email & every single word in it is true.. I uploaded it on YouTube for easy sharing..

Loud applause for the makers of the clip, who are also running a big campaign on encouraging Positive Arabic Media! =)

Enjoy & please share:

ياهل العقول الواعيه والرشيدهـ
المنكر الي عمنا يبغي انكار

بإسم الضمير اقولها في قصيدهـ
يكفي خراب بيوت وافكار وديار

- There are family gatherings everyday & friend gatherings at least once a week..

- You compete with your friends on who will finish reading the Quraan first

- You see tents, big & small, infront of Mosques, houses, shopping centers.. everywhere..

- You are stuck in traffic jams no matter what time you leave the house/work/destination

- Supermarkets are crowded with people pushing flooded trollies & queues are as long as the eye can see

- TV channels competing with each other with their own set of series marathons

- Food, food & more food..

- You hear the recital of the Tarawee7 prayers <3

- Suddenly, all the lampposts and billboards in the streets are featuring food advertisements (& this year, TV series advertisements)

- You start thinking of a menu of dish options to exchange with your friends and neighbors.. *yum*

- The days are calm & the nights are festive..

and most importantly,

You know its Remthan when you can feel it in the air..

Mabrook 3alaikom eshahar & May it be a blessed month ahead xo

UPDATE: Obama’s Ramadan Kareem wishes:

Thanks NAK x

One of the best sculptures I’ve ever seen: check out the “Cloud Gate“, or The Bean, as they call it here..

Designed by an Indian sculptor living in London now, Anish Kapoor, this masterpiece is a MUST visit if you go to Chicago..

Timeless, interactive, reflective.. & mesmerizing.. Kapoor did a fabulous job by creating this landmark for the people of Chicago.. =D

This is how it looks like from under the Bean.. Time would pass by and one would still be fascinated by the different angels this thing reflects!

Kids especially enjoy it even more..

Now I wanna be in the Bean again.. =( Oh I miss Chicago.. *sigh*
