I still cant believe that i bought this book and actually got drowned in it and finished it. For someone like me who faints reading books was unusual to know that i actually finished it. Its a fantastic story of a brave Kurdish lady Joanna Al-Askari Hussain who survived the 1987 chemical bombing by the iraqis at the kurdish people in Bergalou, Iraq. Those who dont know much abt the kurdish people, i must tell u that kurdistan is situated in the north-east part of iraq, they r much liberal than the highly orthodox arab iraqis, they r friendly and very simple as well.

Me too...me too!!! In the last one week i have travelled in the middle-east very extensively&this time fortunately i gotta spend some time in my fav city in that region, Beirut! Unfortunately the city is more famous for its shelter to the fidayuns & other hostile outfits, but its somehow the most vibrant of all cities in that region. People r very friendly especially the girls...ahem ahem...:D yeah last friday i had a blast at a pub called Black wild pussycat...and just when things were going perfectly fine, the good side from inside started knocking hard and i had to wind up...shit! i HATE this good side of me now a days! The good old days were just fine...sigh!

Now a song dedicated to the loving, friendly & brave girls of peshmerga.....

Always liked and thoroughly subscribed to that practical thought..

"Whatever you like in life is either Unhealthy or Immoral"

isn't it true...?
