Mehatet Masr


Now it has been almost 3 months in this godforsaken place…
My impressions are :
The railway got from bad to worse
The cab drivers seem somehow more tolerant than I remember
Cairo is not as charming as I thought it would be
I regained my for 3 years forgotten bad manners
All my friends are gloomy as hell
Am surrounded with a whole pile of shit at work and elsewhere
I think I am stronger than I gave myself credit for
If anything I can’t help myself from thinking over stuff
I don’t have a clue what I wanna do onwards
God is by my side

Happy f***** valentine’s day


14th of February is an extremely important day ofcourse .
It’s valentine’s day, the day Rafik El Hariry-Lebanon’s late vice president- got assassinated and the day I returned home.
I never enjoyed valentine’s this is why I chose to spend it on a plane, moreover as it is this day is a pain so why not add to its beauty
Besides as non superstitious as I am I still could not fly on the 13th.
And here I am leaving behind a world I have created for myself for 3 whole years.
It’s true it was a word of fiction a 3d kinda fiction where you chose the people you hang out with, the places you go to, the food you eat etc…
Everything was absolutely my choice. The job was perfect so was the traffic most of the time. Nothing remotely major to complain about.
I don’t recall ever having to raise my voice at anyone.
But every dream has an end and apparently the nightmare is starting…
My mother’s illness, the streets, a job that am sure will be as lousy if not worse than CIB.
People imposed on me whome I really don’t want to interact with but what to do?!?
Real life has started I can only sit back and dream of some peace of mind that seems impossible right now.
