A pet project. An attempt to disentangle a multi-layered urban reality. An alternative vision for Beirut's touristic image. Jun 25, 2011. Out of Sight, Out of Mind? When The City Becomes One Big Prison. Wake up… sniff in a fusion of humidity, pollution and coffee vapor, step out the house and grapple with traffic on your way to your job, class, subhiyyeh, or ultra-chic gym. Saladmust keep those thighs in shape for the beach this weekend. Pardon my ugly comparison between people and garbage.but you ge...

Beirut in Between: Silence is the Most Powerful Scream- Part II
http://beirutinbetween.blogspot.com/2011/05/silence-is-most-powerful-scream-part.html
A pet project. An attempt to disentangle a multi-layered urban reality. An alternative vision for Beirut's touristic image. May 15, 2011. Silence is the Most Powerful Scream- Part II. Some things, through their very existence, denote an absence. Have you ever noticed that the line delineating presence from absence is rather thin? And that there are some things in life that you hold on to just to remind you of a certain loss? Didn't think so…. The sounds of water pouring into the fountain were hollow, ech...

Beirut in Between: Some More Thoughts on Tourism's Blind Eye
http://beirutinbetween.blogspot.com/2011/05/some-more-thoughts-on-tourisms-blind.html
A pet project. An attempt to disentangle a multi-layered urban reality. An alternative vision for Beirut's touristic image. May 26, 2011. Some More Thoughts on Tourism's Blind Eye. Being a tourist for me was always one of the worst forms of self-inflicted "exclusion". Why would I go somewhere to purposely feel like an outsider? How much can you really know about a place when looking at it from an "outsider's perspective"? I'll tell you what can. A lot of the celebrities we love often use 'slum tourism' a...

Beirut in Between: Diverging Threads
http://beirutinbetween.blogspot.com/2011/06/diverging-threads.html
A pet project. An attempt to disentangle a multi-layered urban reality. An alternative vision for Beirut's touristic image. Jun 3, 2011. For this post, the plan was to find Intabli (as promised in Silence is the Most Powerful Scream Part II), and write about it. I did find Intabli, and although my intention here was to boast my discovery, I got distracted, and ended up contemplating how volatile our connections are to each other and to our city. Some days the city feels like a web of threads. Like a new ...

http://beirutinbetween.blogspot.com/2011/05/tourisms-blind-eye.html
A pet project. An attempt to disentangle a multi-layered urban reality. An alternative vision for Beirut's touristic image. May 26, 2011.

January's Ocean: Chapter 1: January
http://januaryocean.blogspot.com/2011/08/chapter-one-january.html
Thursday, August 4, 2011. He’s sitting at her desk at work, staring at the computer screen with idle fingers against the keyboard. Nothing feels exciting anymore, not even her weekly dinner and movie time with her friends. Guys pass by her office, all of them wearing the same suite, speaking in the same manner and taking smoking breaks that last far more than intended. If Australia was the home of ridiculously hot guys then she should definitely consider relocating to Sydney or maybe Italy. The club was ...
