Dedicated to arch.Dalal Senior

[Dec. 2007]

a typical unusual confession
over-heard
by the room i never entered
nor wanted to
in a place i would rather be forced to go
and unfortunately, i got a choice
words play smart around silence
disturbed reactions
spontaneous acts
loosing the nomadic soul
'why' is now taking over 'what'
the beauty of questioning
  is hard to find sense
  is hard to live with
simply asked, wasn't it?
but that i saw the shadows on the ground
and saw the dust after rain
  i saw the hatred of matter
  i saw theories controlling the private layers of me
  i saw my layers becoming private to avoid the controlling theories
and i simply asked:
why should we live with each other?

MISSING


I realized that while I was walking to my class where I had a presentation for thesis, it was possible for me to find it coz it was just fallen, but I had to get prepared as well for some missing points that I had to add until my turn will come. I decided to let go searching for my brooch and just get my work done. although it was a gift from a very dear friend.

I attended, and heard all the presentations but couldn't involve in any discussion, for i was sooverly  occupied. UNTIL the presentation that comes before mine had finished, when our Doctor stood up and told us that we can have the next four students for the next class.

Conclusion:
-Numerical: zero
-Literal: empty handed

[I've traced my path from my car to the department of architecture, with no result]

I will search one more time when the college is quiet_and hopefully (...)

Questionnaire


Dear WWW,
I will be very grateful if you wouldn't mind spending 5 minutes on this survey I am doing for my final project.The problem, generally, is that Kuwait City is demolishing older buildings and building new ones with higher rents, and almost %80 percent of the residents who live there cannot afford this rise in rental cost, and cannot manage to find another place after the building they live/work in will be demolished. what they do now is basically circulate inside Kuwait city according to the "destroying list". they don't want to leave, they like it in the city but i need to get a Kuwaiti view over this issue,therefore I made a questionnaire and I will be thankful for those who can solve it and send it back to me or you can give me a quick comment, information or a question regarding this issue.
