Chikapappi

Yes, I am back after hmm, I didn’t notice how many days due to the fact that I was overwhelmed by work, hideous paperwork, appointments and follow-ups that need to be done n’ over before Ramadan. I promise that I’ll try to make this as short as possible o khafeef 3ala 2olobkon.
 

I was nominated for a management course in XYZ which was for two days; It was very interesting because I came out feeling very confident of myself & the information n’ experience which in my case were self gained since it wasn’t my study field, it was an eye opening – truth moment when I found out that my hard work didn’t go down the drain and that I can be very successful in what I do (in comparison with others in the same industry given the fact that my resources are limited). Akeid I tell myself after reading this line “madda7 nafsa, yabela rafsa”!
 

I was intimidated when I knew that the two major competitors were present and as groups, while I was alone; Naturally, I took a “corner” and then other girls joined me at the table which made me feel better. The competitor that claims that people wait in “Q”ues for their services and that they are number one in the country were very annoying for the simple fact that they have no respect or professional attitude what so ever! It is amazing how employees go crazy to get the chance to go to training and be developed and these guys just consider this as a time off and away from office. The claim is that they are number one because of the number of people that subscribe the service! “Did you check lately how many people cancelled and switch to another service provider!?” I sat there with blood rushing through my veins till competitor #2 made a harsh comment and I had to butt in and give a piece of my mind; I sympathize with these guys who fully depend on a third party to do the work, missing out on real work, thus the whole trial n’ error experience. They sat down joking, laughing, passing jokes n’ making fun as if they are in a diwaniya.. urrrggghhh (Gossip through Ramadan) so enough of the silly people and their silly actions.
 

Ramadan, kel 3am o ento bekhier! I hope this Ramadan is peaceful and blessed for all of our sisters and brothers out there- Muslim or Christian, Ramadan has its own spirit and pace n’ I really wish everyone the best of times.
 

Every Ramadan has been the same to me; We all sit down watching TV promos and the schedules to figure out what will we watch besides the special offers from restaurants, malls, retailers … you name it.. I want it to be different this year. I remember last year; when I went to Mecca & Madina with my dad a few days before Ramadan, I can’t tell you how it felt- I wanted to stay there, I felt at ease with myself and as if all my worries were swept away by the sight of Ka3ba. Ramadan was good last year because I went to 9alat elleil with my dad the last 10 days and sub7an allah the feeling you get (although I thought I’d be dead tired) but it was very soul purifying till work and routine destroy it all. Why different?? What am I gonna benefit from watching some bimbo who went under the knife, dressed up like a clown- scream n’ shout on TV?! What’s the point of losing precious time on energy n’ mind consuming activities which validity lasts as long as I live on this earth?! Going out everyday?! I want to do the opposite, what I’ve been avoiding if I can say or going lazy on – as a routine change to give me more encouragement and as a step to look at things through pink glasses!
 

“Sa3a larabbak o sa3a la albak”, how many hours did you give to YOU n’ how many to Allah?? Think of that this Ramadan, think of the less fortunate, think of the people who die everyday, think of nasty wars and pray for yourself, family, loved ones and every single human being on earth.
