Taxi Driver or an Entrepreneur!?

A couple of months ago I took a Cab from work like I normly do, yet there was something that is so not normal about it. Books and magazines where everywhere , 2 netbooks where attached to the back of the chairs, a small basket that has game boys & PSPs was set on the front seat. 

I started looking at books, I found a collection of old and new English and Arabic books, some where for Naguib Mahfouz, Abbas EL Akkad, Dan Brown, Paulo Coelho and more. 1 Minute after I have entered the taxi, the driver start telling me you can use what ever you want for free, but if you need internet tell me, because it requires a fees. 

I started talking with the driver, he was a young man in his late 20's , well dressed, pleasant looks, and a not so bad English accent. He started asking me about my experience with other Taxi drivers and what are the things that I hate about riding taxis, he started to scribble things while I was talking on a piece of paper attached to the driving wheel. 

After 10 minutes of riding the taxi, figured that his name is Eslam, and this is his privately owned car, Eslam told me about his dream of having his own business, yet this business was still in the same career of taxi driving he was pursuing. Eslam wanted to gather all his taxi driver friends in one company, dedicated to driving people on-call. He wanted to create a website and FB page promoting the business, his idea was to create a profile for all drivers, with their pictures and complete info about them and about what they do, he wanted to enhance the experience for customers and he wanted to demolish the bad image people have about taxi drivers, he wanted to create a safe place for people to go to. Eslam also mentioned having cabs that are drove by women, so it would be easier and much more comfortable for ladies. 

After this pleasant 30 minutes ride, I started thinking should this taxi driver be considered as an entrepreneur!? He certainly has the spirit and the qualities that qualifies him to be so , and according to WikiPedia an entrepreneur is  an owner or manager of a business enterprise who makes money through risk and initiative! 

I believe that this young man has all what it takes to be a very successful entrepreneur!

Whtats very amusing about Eslam is that, he is not resenting what he is doing, he is not unhappy about his job, he loves it and he is trying to work so hard to make it better for him and for others around him. He worked with the capabilities he had, he didnt wait for an opportunity to come out of no where, he focused and he will start launching his project very soon!

What I regret on not doing is forgetting to take his phone number, a man with an initiative  like this is worth giving attention, and support!

The Key to Getting More Followers on Twitter

If you are new to twitter, you are probably wondering how people get many followers! At first you are struggling to break the 100, after breaking the 100 you are struggling with the 300, than the 400, 600 and so on! The thing is how can you break those numbers, well let me give you small tips and tricks on how to do so.

1. Choose the right Avatar

if you choose a crazy and outgoing and rebellious avatar that will sure help in making your chances doubled, stay away from sissy and regular photos. and make sure you LOOSE THE EGG!

2. Your Bio reflects on you!
if you wrote simple and straight to the points words that describe you well, this will raise your opportunity.
check this link to check the 20 best bios 
3. Tweet , Tweet & Tweet!
its simple, if you have nothing to say, just dont tweet! the more you tweet the more you will get followers! If you thought what people will think about your tweets than you will never tweet! just tweet whatever comes to your mind and you will find someone to engage with. Get engaged with people who share different thoughts and start debating, get in touch with tweeps who share same interest and help people out! A big percentage of people on twitter are seeking help from fellow tweeps, some ask about locations, others ask about food and others ask about products. 
4. Hashtags, they are important
whether you create your own #Hashtags or you join existing popular hashtags this will certainly help in making your chances better

Above all make sure you do not trust websites that tells you they can get you more followers, because they are all scam! And once you break the 600 it all comes easy!

P.S: The More followers you get the more you will get followed, people look at 3 main things before following someone, the avatar, the bio and the number of followers they have!

The Filthy Desire (An old Story, I had laying around)

The Filthy Desire  

Despite all the pain she went through, she deeply knew that she will never give up or quit. She was right on the edge; she was losing everything and everyone around her just to satisfy her inner desire. She had nothing to live for but her damned repulsive desire, it led her, guided her and it was always her dear companion. With her desire she was always looked at as an outcast, stranger an outside of the word person that was always bound by social norms and sometime by religion. But she never cared, she never thought about how others would see her, although their looks killed her.

“What kind of girl does that” “are you happy with yourself” “only who**s do that”  “And what kind of religion are you following that gives you that right” These were all the translations of the looks she used to get, living in an Arab country that abide with religions and traditional norms didn’t give her the freedom she expected so it wasn’t that easy.  People were sometimes fierce and mean but so is her desire, it wasn’t the people that bother her most. Deeply she knew that she didn’t have the freedom she wished for and not because of the people and their looks, it’s because something more powerful have captured her and controlled her for the rest of her life.  She knew she had nothing left but her desire, it was the only thing that was keeping her alive, yet it was still the same thing that will end her life.

One day she sat in the dark, lonely, lost & miserable with nothing but the light of her desire slowly destroying the last piece of her.  She was suffocating and the light was getting brighter; she tried to stop herself but her desire kept on fighting back and didn’t let her go. Her tears filled the place and her eyes were bloody, her nose was runny and her heart was racing so fast. She couldn’t stand the heat, yet she couldn’t stop her soul from surrendering to her desire. She was a strong girl but the pleasure she experienced was way stronger than her, it just gave her exactly what she was looking for a dream that came true, but what if this dream became all her reality. She never wanted anything else because she never saw anything else. There were no alternatives in her life that is the only reality she knew, so she never looked for an alternative. 

She took a deep breath and she took control over herself and she gazed deeply at the light and said:

“You were always there for me a dear friend and a beloved companion, you have never let me down or even decided to let me go, you have always understood my needs, simply you were part of me. I loved every detail about you, your smell, your taste, the way you touch my lips; the way you lie helplessly in my hands and they way you make me feel after touching my soul. But NO! As sensational as you are as filthy you will always remain. I know you will be hurt but there is a time when we both have to take our separate ways, I know you will survive without me, but simply you will destroy me if we stayed together, I am not being ungrateful here, but you were purely vicious and cruel. I have to look for other options and experience new things that will surely not give me the same amount of pleasure you did, but eventfully will keep me alive. Thank you for our time together but now it’s time to let go. Now is my time to not let my desire take control of my life, now it’s the time to get back my freedom and gain back my dignity, now it’s my time to finally……..

Quit Smoking. “

A Day In A Life of A Harasser!

Waking up and getting dressed as always, with nothing on his mind but completing what he has started yesterday and the day before. Amgad is a 30 year’s old unmarried man that lives with his mother and his 8 sisters. Amgad is unemployed and his mother is the only source of money in the house, she raised him till he graduated from university, and is planning to do the same with his sisters. Amgad is graduated from Law school, he graduated with high grades but unfortunately he couldn’t get a decent job.

On his ways out of the house he spotted his 18 years old sister looking feminine as always, he glimpsed and took a deep breath and closed his eyes and the journey of his imagination started, yet he knew he can never touch her although he tried before. Amgad went down the house and started walking into small and dark allies looking for another prey. He spotted two girls walking deeper into the alley and decided to have two targets today rather than one, “I will challenge myself today” he said.

Moving slowly and cunningly towards the end of the alley trying to reach the two girls, and indulge his raging sexual desire. Reaching the end of the alley waiting for the girls to move into a crowded place so he can make his move with no one noticing, he closed his eyes started imaging his sister again. His sexual desire was lifted even more, and he decided to make his move in a dark quiet place with no people around. Sweat was all over his face and his heart was racing like a horse striving to win and he was as scared as a rat. He got closer and closer and in a second he grabbed both girls from their backs and knocked them down the floor and ran away.

He couldn’t catch his breath so he stopped running, looking around to see if someone saw him, he decided to hide, near a dark doorstep. Amgad was hoping that no one saw him, with a look of fear and a tiny smile of victory Amgad calmed himself down, and started to walk towards the crowded streets again, thinking of the challenge he might take the next day and thinking of new day to satisfy his sexual desire.

The Cone Chat

A day full of work overload and maximum stress all she wanted to do is break free and be liberated . She walked out of her office and took the stairs, her colleagues never knew why she never took the elevator some of them thought she was claustrophobic, and others feels that she is afraid of heights. She just didn't give them the pleasure of knowing the real reason, and she always gave them a sarcastic laugh whenever they ask her.

On every floor she goes by she dumps a block of her stress behind her, on every step taken she gets a memory of her happy moments and today will be one of the best days of her life. It’s Thursday the day she waits for every month, its her break. A break for her doesn’t mean a break from work, because she is a total workaholic she never stops even on weekends. She gets down to the street and walks directly to her car all she can see is the cone. She started to drive and she didn’t see the people around her, all she can focus on is the cone it was calling for her.

She stopped her car and got out she took a deep breath and started walking until she faded and went out of sight. She came back to her car with the cone finally in her hand. She opened the door and started the engine and drove to a near quite place under a beautiful oak tree. She closed the windows and played her favorite song, and rested the chair. She gazed deeply at the cone she took a deep breath and she said: "Hey my perfect little cone, you are so dear to me, you are my passion and my inspiration and sometimes you help me to go on. To me you are pure joy covered with ultimate infatuation, filled with utmost enthusiasm and sprinkled with extreme passion. But sorry you won’t stay for long I won’t let you stay for long and I want allow you from keeping me away from reaching me goal even if it means that you will only be with me once a month, I can do that I can stay away from you longing for the day I will meet you again. As fundamental as you are to me, you still can’t be the essence of my life because I have a life and I plan on keeping it sparkly, astonishing and fit"

She got closer to the cone and smelled it and enjoyed its look, and its taste she ate it till the last bit and after she was finished she held her head back and said "your creaminess and softness is the essence of your exquisiteness" It was really an experience of a life time and as great as it is, it must have an end, and the cone of the cone was now the end of the ice cream cone is now! It won’t keep her away from staying fit and getting in shape and having a “to die for” lifestyle full of activity, healthy body, fitness and absolute inspiration. She held the driving wheel and laughed and said "that’s fools what's keeping me away from the elevator”

صوت الميدان

سمعت صوت الميدان قلبي اتنفض
المصري أهو يا ولاد واقف زي الأسد

صوت الميدان مسموع و طالع في العالي
مليان شجن و دموع على شهيد غالي

و الله عليكي يا بلد جامدة و قويه
شبابك ضحوا عشان كرامة و حرية

لمسوا قلب المصري إلي ماشي جنب الحيط
صوته اتنبح في قول  اتمرمت و اتهديت

بيكو رجعله صوته و كرامته من تاني
ده الحرية غالية يا ولاد ماترجعش في ثواني

شباب عرف الصمود و الحب و الإصرار
عزيمته و قوته هيخلقوا  استقرار

 صوتكم يا أغلى  شباب خبط على كل باب
عدى بحور و تلال و غزى كل البلاد 

شباب مضطهد مغمور وصل حلمه للنور
رفض ظلم النظام و أتحرر زي العصفور

صوتنا هيشرف ولدنا و يرجع تاني امجادنا
رجعنا حريتنا و شرفنا أجدادنا

و لسة سامع صوت الميدان  بييجلجل من تاني
و الله عليك يا ميدان يا ماسح أحزاني

على اسم مصر

على اسم مصر التاريخ يقدر يقول ما شاء


أنا مصر عندي أحب وأجمل الأشياء


باحبها وهي مالكه الأرض شرق وغرب


وباحبها وهي مرميه جريحة حرب


باحبها بعنف وبرقة وعلى استحياء


واكرهها وألعن أبوها بعشق زي الداء


واسيبها واطفش في درب وتبقى هي ف درب


وتلتفت تلقيني جنبها في الكرب


والنبض ينفض عروقي بألف نغمة وضرب


على اسم مصر


النسيم في الليالي وبياعين الفل


ومرايه بهتانة ع القهوة .. أزورها .. واطل


القى النديم طل من مطرح منا طليت


والقاها برواز معلق عندنا في البيت


فيه القمر مصطفى كامل حبيب الكل


المصري باشا بشواربه اللي ما عرفوا الذل


ومصر فوق في الفراندة واسمها جولييت


ولما جيت بعد روميو بربع قرن بكيت


ومسحت دموعي في كمي ومن ساعتها وعيت


*****


مصر السما الفزدقي وعصافير معدية


والقلة مملية ع الشباك .. مندية


والجد قاعد مربع يقرا في الجرنال


الكاتب المصري ذاته مندمج في مقال


ومصر قدامه اكتر كلمة مقرية


قريتها من قبل ما اكتب اسمي بإيديا


ورسمتها في الخيال على أبدع الأشكال


ونزلت أيام صبايا طفت كل مجال


زي المنادي وفؤادي يرتجف بجلال


********


مصر .. التلات أحرف الساكنة اللي شاحنة ضجيج


زوم الهوا وطقش موج البحر لما يهيج


وعجيج حوافر خيول بتجر زغروطة


حزمة نغم صعب داخلة مسامعي مقروطة


في مسامي مضغوطه مع دمي لها تعاريج


ترع وقنوات سقت من جسمي كل نسيج


وجميع خيوط النسيج على نبرة مربوطة


اسمعها مهموسة والا اسمعها مشخوطه


شبكة رادار قلبي جوه ضلوعي مضبوطة

كنتوا فين لما هرب الأمان من البيوت، كنتوا فين لما بابك يا بلدي عشش عليه العنكبوت.

 كنتوا فين لما هرب الأمان من البيوت،
كنتوا فين لما بابك يا بلدي عشش عليه العنكبوت.

كنتو فين لما الخوف ملا الشوارع،
كنت فين يا دفعة ؟ كنت في مشوار و راجع

و هروبك يا مؤمن يا ترى كان بإيدك
ولا حفظ على النظام ، و طاعة لتعليمات سيدك

طلعت ضعيف و جبان
عايزنا نصدق إن سيدك  في أيده الأمان

لكن لا يا بلد شبابك رجالة
مش هانخاليي مكان للرعاع ولحوثالاه

و أه يا بلد معلهش سيد غير الله
و سيدك يا مؤمن عن طريقه تاه

لكن طول ما فينا روح المقومة و طول ما نورك يا بلدي طالع
نراك يا ظالم هتفضل أيدا و هانبعد عنا  المواجع

و هنصقت النظام و هنرجع الأمان
و طول يا بلدي مانتي خايفة شعبك عمره ما هاينام

Crushing Egypt’s’ Rejuvenation

“I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the cost of your life.”~ Ghandi

After nine days of struggle and hard work, we as Egyptians achieved victory yet still not the maximum victory we were seeking, and it even might be a temporary victory and an act of fraud from the Egyptian regime. During the struggles we faced in the Egyptian “Intifada” we have learned a lot and we have gained a lot as a nation. Before going into deep analysis of the situation and mentioning its pros and cons I would like to reveal on the string of events that took place from Tuesday the 25th of Jan till Tuesday the 1st of Feb.

The first day of the protests which was on the 25th of Jan, was a completely peaceful demonstration from few Egyptians, it was motivating and anti-destruction its aim was to ask for our rights as Egyptians and the right of the nation. The same events took place on the 26th and 27th of Jan, and still the world was peaceful despite some attempts of violence from the police on the protesters and vice-versa. During the first three days of the protests the daily life of Egyptians wasn’t affected at all, people used to go to work and come back and some still go out with friends. On the night of the third day the preparation for the “Rage Friday” started and the aim of that day was to “Bring down the Egyptian Regime”. The ghost of communications and the internet caused a huge threat to the government therefore the have cutoff all internet and mobile services for that day. Still that didn’t prevent people from protesting peacefully and cutting off communication tools provoked many Egyptians and that caused an increase in the protestor’s number.

The 28th of Jan was an historical day, and still a day full of maximum violence as the Egyptian police deliberately killed peaceful protestors, whether by live bullets or by the police cars. That act caused more and more rage among the Egyptians. Everyone was sympathizing with the protestors and everyone was with the demonstration and its ultimate fight for a huge cause. Late at that night the Egyptian president made a speech about reforming the government but still that wasn’t enough for the Egyptians because that was not what they want, so the protest was still active and it demanded to be active for the next day despite the order of the curfew. Moving to the 29th of Jan which was a day full of fear and threat to every Egyptian, Mobiles were back on but internet was still off. During that day criminals and gangsters covered Egypt, they caused threat in the streets and in our homes, the country was not a safe place anymore, and with all of that there was no clear sign of the police. The suspicious disappearing of the police around the existing of these criminals frightened the safety of Egypt, the Egyptian army didn’t leave the Egyptian at that critical point and it tried to keep them safe, but still it wasn’t enough. Men and women from all ages went to down the streets with weapons to protect their countries and their homes from the criminals.

While on the scene of the demonstration everyone was still protesting and the Army was keeping the protestors safe. It was announced than that the president have hired “Omar Soliman” head of Egyptian intelligence as his vice-president, and Ahmed Shafiq as the prime minster. Still it was not enough and people asked for more, they asked for Mubarak to leave and they asked for a reform in the constitution and in the parliament. During the 30th and the 31st of Jan still the country wasn’t safe and still people were protecting their streets and their homes but the police made an appearance and still no sign of the internet. The stock market was closed and banks were closed and the curfew moved from 4 PM to 3 PM, the life of every Egyptian was on hold, but that was the price of liberty. The Economy went down and the tourism went down, and each country sent flights to their citizens to evacuate them. Also the new government of ministries was formed but still some names didn’t change.

On the victorious first day of February the president made a speech claiming that he will reform to articles from the constitution and that he will reform the parliament and that he will not elect him self in the upcoming elections on September, and that was still not enough, the crowd demanded for him to go. At the same time protest took place that was pro Mubarak and didn’t want him to leave, that was quite suspicious! Now people at El Tahrir Square are split into half, some are satisfied for the time being and others are still demanding that he has to leave. Until the massive destruction took place, the pro Mubarak protest that is most likely to be created by the government crushed the wonderful symphony that have been created and caused nothing but chaos and destruction.

During the “Intifada” we gained lots of things but still we lost a lot! Now we have our dignity back, our voice and our right. Youth are now empowered, and we know that we can do a lot. We also have discovered that we can protect ourselves from any harm and we can pass any struggles. About 80% of our demands have been achieved and its time for us to have some patience, and give space for the changes to take place, and if not, the Tharir square is still there and we are still alive (hopefully). We don’t want to destroy the country nor our economy, I know that we can reform the nation and the economy and we can make them prosper again but we just have to be a bit patient. Let’s not cause for the demonstration to loose the sympathy of the people who are at home. That was what I wanted to say right before I saw what happened today, the though of not trusting the government was proven true after I tried as much as I can to give them a chance.

Mubarak never resembled the figure of the father to me, and I never ever wanted him in power, he and his regime made lots of unforgivable mistakes and I know that we have no trust what so ever for the government, and the decisions that he took might be temporary just to please us but still lets have some patience, but they didn’t give us a chance to be patient. “When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.”~ Ghandi

Mubarak is asking to open gates of conversation between the government and the nation and he and the government are mad because we didn’t accept that invitation, but it is just too late for conversation because they have never gave us that opportunity. This opportunity just took place out of his fear. Mubarak doesn’t want to stop the blood shed, his regime didn’t stop killing the protesters at El Tahrir, if he really wanted another chance and a another opportunity he shouldn’t have crushed the spirit the people have created. El Tahrir Square is nothing but a mess today; unlike yesterday the people were cleaning the streets and protesting peacefully. It’s just not the time to have some morality and humanity that we haven’t been treated by in that country.

Cutting of the internet provoked Egyptians and revealed the threat that youth cause to the Egyptian regime, and that caused people to increase in the protest as well as the curfew. They tried to cutoff AlJazeera so the truth wont reach Egyptians and that was stupid, they were pressured and that gave them a chance to make mistakes, lets just wait in silence and observe the situation critically. . “In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and difficult quest after Truth.”~ Ghandi

They provoked us, blackmailed and threatened us by deliberately depriving us from safety and pulling away the police so we can learn that we wont be safe without them, but we proved them wrong, we managed to protect ourselves and to communicate and to form the million man march, and have a loud and clear voice. As much as I want patience and I want us to wait and stop the blood shed, I just cant stand what I am seeing in Tahrir now, if he was a person that wanted to give himself and us a new chance he wouldn’t have sent people to kill today. If he wanted a chance to talk he would have given us that chance from the first day, rather than killing hundreds on Friday the 28th of Jan.


I am just so confused about what should be done I want the best for Egypt and its people, I want to raise the economy again and I want people to feel safe, but still if we held our voices now we can never make a move. Especially after the last attempt of violence that took place today! If he cares about the country as every body says, why the hell did he send people to kill and cause chaos today? If he loves his people he should just step down, and Mr. President I wanted you to leave the country gracefully with your dignity and self respect and with our respect to you and to your achievements but you gave us no choice and no space, you crushed our dreams and crushed the wonderful spirits that have been created during the “Intifada”, if you just love the country and love the people even a little please just step down, I am not asking you to leave the country if you don’t want to, but just step down now for the sake of Egypt!

Celebrating the NEW Year with OLD Memories!

Two days ago, I was planning on writing a post about the new year, and how each and every person should be optimistic and stick to their dreams and goals. I was going to write about accomplishments and ambition, and mentioning all the great things in life we all should be grateful for. I was demanding a new beginning with no peaking at the past nor its bad memories!

The engine of my dreams was speeding and speeding , and my optimistic and successful future was paved, and the upcoming bright to-be future of my country started to sparkle. Its either I was driving so fast or there is just a problem with the road I was driving on, my dreams were crushed and my hope for a fruitful years was demolished! Reading about the Alexandria Church Bombing Incident broke my heart and stopped my engine of hope and dreams. For a while I couldn't believe what happened, but deep inside I knew it was expected. Instead of celebrating the new year and new beginnings we looked back at old devastating memories that will ruin the relations between all Egyptians, Muslims & Christians. So rather than Celebrating new beginnings we are getting closer to the end, the end of the Arab nation as whole!

I am not going to talk about politics nor I am going to talk about the internal and extremal affairs of the Egyptian government that did absolutely nothing and acted in pure negativity. Nor the troubles that all the Arab nation is facing, and not even mentioning parts of both religions that are against destruction. But I am going to talk about the Nation and the people who deserves a leap of faith to hang on to, the people who deserves to celebrate their happiness together with no discrimination against any race nor religion, a nation that should unite in order to overcome all the obstacles faced during the last 25 years.

How could we be looking at old memories? Simply because in October 2005 an incident that had the same "Destructive Goals" which is the huge buzz and the discrimination between both Christians and Muslims rather than keeping it together as one nation, the started protesting and killing each other, with know awareness what so ever of who is behind the "Destructive Buzz. As for today people are still looking behind at incidents that are close to the 2005 incidents, they are firing hatred among themselves rather than sticking together at this dim moments Egypt is facing.

As a little girl I remember watching TV and seeing Alexandria as beautiful place, seeing a home for Christians and Muslims and back then even Jews used to live there. The only thing that ever concerned them was looking after each other, sure they used to fight but as one nation, not against each other! I believe that this case didn't appear only at TV it was a pure reflection of reality and a vivid view of the Egyptian nation as whole, not only Alexandria.

Before wrapping up my post, I have one question to ask, if the person or the organization that did that just wanted to destruct the bodies of Christians, Why didn't they bombard the whole church? It would have been an easy task for them to do, but NO, the aim was to destruct the mind and the soul. The aim was to shed hatred among both Christians and Muslims, and assisting them in destructing each other, physically and morally. So, we must not give up we must hold on to the bonds between us, cause dear friends Egypt has had enough!

Starting this post, I had a pessimistic look at my future and the future of the nation as a whole, but I believe that the engine of hope and dreams should be turned back on, but as for myself I wont be able to turn it all by my own, I need my family and Christians and Muslims friends to work with me, I know that what happened is unbearable and I know that a lot of victims died, and I am deeply sorry for that. But we have to unite and stick together and try to prevent any upcoming destructive incidents. It's time to look at the light even if it is so dim and so far away, it time to take a leap of faith and hold on together, and to all youth out there its our time!

Happy New Year every one, and to all my Christians sisters & brothers my deepest condolences for you all, and remember what didn't kill us should always makes us stronger!
