cleopatra in london

for some reason my letters were being typed in hindi which is very funny since i am in london and when i arrived at the airport i felt like i reached a country that was more of an offspring of a marriage between the indians and the arabs. the people at the airport all looked like my people and my indian neighbors. where are the english? they dissapeared and became a minority.
the hindi language looks fascinating. to buy bubble gum from a store i pay a guy who looks like the arabic population and in the background i hear the Quran playing. it was nice not to feel like an alien, actually the question is who is the alien here? noone!
freezing london sings for christmas and we celebrate our feast too. the shops are calling my name and i am practicing self restraint until now i am! God help me the clothes are glittering and looking amazing the smells of the perfumes are mezmerising it is hard to hold back. i hope i am a good girl and i do not go mad.

in london the egyptians are here the arabs are here the indians are here the chinese are here the russians are here too the british are in the background waving not making babies but working their asses off and rushing to catch the subway and get to their meetings on time in their boots, in their black leggings. with their black bags, everyone is stylishly cool and fashion is a natural rule that everyone abides too. the pharoes faces are revered in harrods and the christmas spirit fills the air. it is thanksgiving too and im thankful for being here, for my eyes and my heart and my body too, for my family, for my blog and for you who read it. what are you thankful for? gratitude is very important it only increases the flow of good in your life. God gives more to the thankful and takes from the ungrateful.
the sun shines in cairo and disapears in london yet all the world walks the streets in london feeling fresh and clean and beautiful too. winter clothes are so great and sweet loving and warm.
enjoy your thanksgiving, your feast, your christmass and pray, praying is good for you.
love the world and relax.
in london, in uggs, in a place that seems like it is the right one all the time
