LET'S START WITH SHAWARMA! And so I have found another shawarma jaunt folks, a charcoal grilled shawarma place no less.

The past week has been killer. Nasty killer, not fantastic killer. And it has been that kind of week, when everything hits you from all sides, corners, angles and directions. Yet, I wouldn't call it a disaster. We are alive and standing, and therefore things aren't even remotely in the disaster corner. The week before... Continue Reading →
All June I bound the rose in sheaves, Now, rose by rose, I strip the leaves. Robert Browning Alas, June isn't a lovely month for us folks here in Qatar.
