We moved from Mazze to Mazze Jabal

I dont know how and why but the day we moved to our new apartment....
atta and i went to the mazze jabal bazaar...the raunaq reminded me of H block in lahore...
Atta and i tried spinach and pomegranate mojanaat that day, it was nice walk back to home
the lights from stores, the dimming light of the evening
maghrib ke azzan..

The jewelled trees..
how lovely you be
the sunlight coming through
to make tiny rainbows...

Mysterious Morning

How can i forget these morning in pakistan and today its like that here...

Its so mysterious and beautiful like a veil of magic around your world.

The cool mornings, boiled eggs, warm chocolate milk. Morning cartoons and then the silver spider van to school..with orange hair nice person who drove us.

A5 - Flying

It was a party at an ADA
The cave that my atta called office and the big spider that gave the place a spooky touch...
the bare jungle, hide and seek the cool uniforms...
the bright ladies and funky kids....
the students...
teachers...alll together to enjoy the one dish...
The bright sun in the wintery morning...the runway across the plain and the trees that hugged it...
on the other side was road to cheief burger and the kabab place...
then atta went and flew away...everyone waved and mama smiled..
my brother was soo hyper i couldnt even see him when he ran...
then we talked to atta through radio while he was flying...
always wanted to be like him, feel the thrill and be proud of who i am....
and i think i got there...
love you

Basra!

A beautiful cold, sunny morning
A nice car ride to ruins of saweida...
beautiful green grass,
red and black soil of ancient volcanoes...
so close to old civilization...
family and freinds....
the broad colosseum, maybe a shadow to the one in italy
but with the same presence
the eerie yet bright feeling..
i sometimes get snapshots of it...
especially of that road that defied gravity
