Ramzi - Arabic Queen
Well a friend recently lost her father whom she was very close to ... when I went to go give my respects she reminded me of my father. I was very close to him although due to him being a terrible father and husband I haven't seen him for over 10 years, a few years after my mum divorced him.
I know I have 2 half siblings whom I've never met, tbh I've never thought much about it, my father married a close relative for his second wife, hopefully this will mean the marriage is more stable then it was. Although he just appeared to be a confused guy when I knew him. I recall the first book he brought for me (I requested it) I recall the blank expression he gave me when I questioned why he hit mum when it was against the faith of Islam, showing him the several sources, including a whole chapter of the book he brought me.
Since he left (not that he stayed at home much except when he was ill so mum looked after him) my mum protected me and my siblings for the ills of the world. I know I still look at some things in shock, even a guy walking topless down the street will cause me to look the other way, or perhaps I'm just old fashioned (perhaps because of this seclusion that I was comfortable with)
Anyway I digress ... my friend the only way I could feel anything near what she was feeling was thinking about my mum, if she died what would I do? Would I be strong and stand there whilst people came to pay their respecting lamenting and me being reminded time and again what I had only recently lost. Grief is natural and to not allow that hinders the healing within us all, however my mum is the centre of my world, even if I don't know how to look after her(!). What would happen if the centre of me was lost. I know my mum stays that everyone has the ability to rise from loss, as she had to do when she lost her mum also, I can only hope that I can do justice by my mum in this life, at still have had that little bit of time with her which many have not had with their parents and believe that when she returns to the almighty I've learnt enough from her to be a child who will honour and respect the legacy she has left within me
And if my mum thinks I'm strange when I go hug her, meh, we don't need a reason to hug those that we love. Take care people and treasure those moments that we have with those cherish people that are the family of our hearts, be this in blood or friendship o/

Ramzi - Smile
Okay well I recall that once someone told me if I'm looking for a hubby I should go find a freshie who's an accountant and lives over here. Oh how life tries to teach me something I just have no idea what it is.
Although it's a matter of keeping my morals over what people desire, hmm oh well I'll just ponder more.
Do I think too much, I've always thought that I used to although I never used to cover all angles so I thought I did not and then I realise that you can never truly understand another person.
You could be the same place at the same time, having had the same past and you will still think differently because that's the way people are, we all have our own thoughts and though we project our stereotypes and reasoning we will never truly understand another. As well as continuing to be amazed when people don't follow what we thought they would. We never truly understood them so how can you perceive them in all their decisions.
And on a side note I finally understand how some people can feel bereft without makeup, it was weird I've never thought I'd be that side of the coin.
Until next time, toodles folk and look after one another, we are what teaches the future generation after all be it through our actions and/or words

Jugni Ji - Kanika Kapoor - Dr. Zeus Feat. Shortie - lyrics in description below
Dr Zeus – Jugni Ji (from Arif Lohar – Alif Allah Chamber Di Booty)
My english translation of the song
My english translation of the song
To be honest I can’t really understand Shortie half the time, so feel free to tell me what his lyrics are and I can update these ^_^
Meaning of Jugni:
The word literally means 'Female Firefly', in folk music it stands in for the poet-writer who uses Jugni as an innocent observer to make incisive, often humorous, sometimes sad but always touching observations. In spiritual poetry Jugni means the spirit of life, or essence of life.
Translation:
Jugni Ji x4
Ae way allah waliyan di jugni ji x2
The spirit of all the messengers who brought His message to this Earth
The spirit of all the messengers who brought His message to this Earth
Ae way navey pir di jugni ji x2

Just trying to enthuse about your, jugni ji

What will elevate you is the jugni ji
Just kick back and meditate and feel the jugni ji
