S' World: First meetup . Bookclub - Luxembourg
http://salmaninafrica.blogspot.com/2014/02/first-meetup-bookclub-luxembourg.html
Sunday, February 23, 2014. First meetup . Bookclub - Luxembourg. For some old and rather odd reasoning, I always thought of Europe as a place of lonely individuals with shallow relationships and similar views about the depth-ness of communal life, a place where all values and ethics revolves around the individual self and one has to feel that loneliness to become a European. Was this because of my time spent in middleast and Africa? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. He is a bi...

Tuesday, December 25, 2012. Worlds, thresholds, year ends. I want to end this year's last blog with one of Neruda's poems. Mientras escribo estoy ausente. Y cuando vuelvo ya he partido:.

Que para explicar mis problemas. Le hablare de geografia. While i am writing, I'm far away;. And when i come back, I 've gone. He is a bit ...

S' World: Zanzibar Dreams....
http://salmaninafrica.blogspot.com/2013/05/zanzibar-dreams.html
Saturday, May 4, 2013. I was visiting Zanzibar islands and for a change stayed in the old town, in a 500 year old building converted into a hotel, with colored glasses and extended Jharokay (جھروکے balconies) made of wood, and all the preserved past. And talking to me you Ertyaas! Acute sadness sometimes gives birth to extreme happiness, my dear " having his ussual sublime smile dancing on her lips, and eyes focused somewhere in the unknown. کہے رھا ہے شور دریا سے سمندر کا سکوت. But I had to wake up and ...

Tuesday, July 29, 2014. Hammam. Human dirt, Wars. It was a hundred year old Hammam building, in the middle of a nowhere town in eastern turkey.

Children of god dying. At the Hammam, the turk cleaner man finally asked me to lay down on the floor and with all Turkish hospitality smashed and rubbed and cleaned all ...

Monday, August 18, 2014. Guatemala Diaries Part- II. The climb to Mount Pacaya was steep and I was sweating like hell, though this time it was not out of working my way up but because of the hot land of this volcanic mountain.
