#EndSH day

This is my expeirence with sexual harassament - i am only posting the unique ones - i get harassad daily

a couple of days ago - i pulled over an all nighter my hair is in a bun and i am wearing baggy clothes because of my exams the bus drives me to my street and i have to walk a distance across the street a really nice volks wagen driving and i noticed the driver is slowing down , he is an old dude late 40's or early 50's and i live beside a school so probably he's picking up his kids or something he compeletly stops just to tell me how good my boobs look in a comepletly insulting way , what i did ? nothing i was shocked that he is old enough to be my father and still is doing so . i wished i was strong enough to pick up something from the street and flat his tire or bust his windows, however i didn't.

a year ago i was in a public bus and a guy who was standing beside me kept discribing to me what would he do to me if i slept with him i was looking away and i cried the peopel heard what he was saying and the only thing another guy said was lower your voice maybe the driver will hear you - i looked at him and i thought if i screamed or anthing he will call me crazy and i have no money to go down from the bus also no one will do anything to him  plus he is stronger than me maybe he will beat me or touch me . oh god forbid the idea that this creep will touch me . i wished i had a spary to apply it to him when i am leaving, however i didn't.

about a year and a half ago i was in mekkah with my dad and his wife doing umrah. in umrah i didn't wear black abbayah like the rest i wore an esdal with removeable head cover and i applied a pandana on my head. i also wore leg warmer so my legs won't show. i went alone to fill a bottle with zamzam water when i guy came beside me and started  talking to me . i didn't talk back when he asked me where are you from
and i was like i am from egypt so he got friendly as if egypt is a hot ticket for him. he tried to touch me and asked me when is he going to see me again so we can be alone. i turned around and said my dad is here and if he heard you; you'll go to jail today. honestly i scared they would say it's because you're not wearing black like everybody else or because your neck is apearing or because you talked to him. i wish i was brave enough to scream and gather people or i had faith in people's minds,however i didn't.


2 years ago i was walking in ta7reer street in dokki from oprah . i had a date with my boyfriend back then. while i was walking calmly and i did nothing to anyone i was dressed ordinary. when a man who was walking across me slowed down and unzipped his pants he decided to show me his dick . i was shocked that he would do that in the middle of the day in the middle of the street . i speed walked so i can see less of him . when i meet my boyfriend; he noticed i was shocked and sad he kept asking what's wrong with me when i told him he got mad so he asked me why didn't you call me. okay let's say i called him . he would have never made it on time and the guy is not going to wait for him also when the guy sees someone with me he will zip up his pants. i wish i had my boyfriend with me or i had an electric shock so i can paralyize the guy's dick with it, however i didn't.

4 years ago i used to live in haram. in our street there was an institue and my uncle used to live in front of it so i used to feel afe because everytime i pass my cousins will be there and nothing bad will happen to me because they will help me. however there was this day where my cousins were not there and a i was walking in the middle of the day when around 5 guy surronded me and started laughing and telling me to come with them and threatning me. i looked at the ground and thought to myself that i will die today in the middle of the street in front of everybody i was so scared they 5, they are stronger than me and no one will ever help me. this time a brave secuirty gard came and beat them with his stick and he walked me home. i wish i was strong enough or i had something that i beat them with, however i didn't.

I wish i did everytime i didn't.

a girl starts to expirence sexual harrasment as soon as she grow a pair of boobs. i can go on and on about the metro harassament where you can't tell them anything cause they would talk back and you're never as rude as them . i also can go on and on about police men who harasse you when going to your home late or even in the middle of the day. i can go on and on about downtown vendors and about any pig who harasse you or shuts up when he sees you harassed. however instead i will ask to stop objectfying women. even my mom a 49 year old woman is being harassad in the street.

عن حب البعض مع جبران

البعض نحبهم لكن لا نقترب منهم  فهم في البعد أحلى وهم في البعد أرقى  وهم في البعد أغلى والبعض نحبهم ونسعى كي نقترب منهم ونتقاسم تفاصيل الحياة معهم
ويؤلمنا الابتعاد عنهم ويصعب علينا تصور الحياة حين تخلو منهم

 والبعض نحبهم ونتمنى أن نعيش حكاية جميله معهم ونفتعل الصدف لكي نلتقي بهم ونختلق الأسباب كي نراهم ونعيش في الخيال أكثر من الواقع معهم والبعض نحبهم لكن بيننا وبين أنفسنا فقط فنصمت برغم الم الصمت فلا نجاهر بحبهم حتى لهم لان العوائق كثيرة والعواقب مخيفه ومن الأفضل لنا ولهم أن تبقى الأبواب بيننا وبينهم مغلقه
والبعض نحبهم فنملأ الأرض بحبهم ونحدث الدنيا عنهم ونثرثر بهم في كل الأوقات
ونحتاج إلى وجودهم كالماء والهواء ونختنق في غيابهم أو الابتعاد عنهم
والبعض نحبهم لأننا لا نجد سواهم وحاجتنا إلى الحب تدفعنا نحوهم فالأيام تمضي والعمر ينقضي والزمن لا يقف ويرعبنا بأن نبقى بلا رفيق

 والبعض نحبهم لان مثلهم لا يستحق سوى الحب ولا نملك أمامهم سوى أن نحب فنتعلم منهم أشياء جميله ونرمم معهم أشياء كثيرة ونعيد طلاء الحياة من جديد ونسعى صادقين كي نمنحهم بعض السعادة
والبعض نحبهم لكننا لا نجد صدى لهذا الحب في قلوبهــم فننهار و ننكسر و نتخبط في حكايات فاشلة فلا نكرههم ولا ننساهم ولا نحب سواهم ونعود نبكيهم بعد كل محاوله فاشلة
والبعض نحبهم ويبقى فقط أن يحبوننا مثلما نحبهم

أولي التجارب مع جبران خليل جبران

لا تجالس أنصاف العشاقولا تصادق أنصاف الأصدقاء لا تقرأ لأنصاف الموهوب لا تعش نصف حياة ولا

 تمت نصف موت لا تختر نصف حل ولا تقف في منتصف الحقيقة لا تحلم نصف حلم ولا تتعلق بنصف أمل إذا صمتّ  فاصمت حتى النهاية وإذا تكلمت  فتكلّم حتى النهاية لا تصمت كي تتكلم ولا تتكلم كي تصمت إذا رضيت فعبّر عن رضاك لا تصطنع نصف رضا وإذا رفضت فعبّر عن رف لأن نصف الرفض قبول النصف هو حياة لم تعشها وهو كلمة لم تقلها وهو ابتسامة أجّلتها وهو حب لم تصل إليه وهو صداقة لم تعرفها النصف هو ما يجعلك غريباً عن أقرب الناس إليك وهو ما يجعل أقرب الناس إليك غرباء عنك النصف هو أن تصل وأن لاتصل أن تعمل وأن لا تعمل أن تغيب وأن تحضر النصف هو أنت عندما لا تكون أنت لأنك لم تعرف من أنت النصف هو أن لا تعرف من أنت 

ومن تحب ليس نصفك الآخر هو أنت في مكان آخر في الوقت نفسه نصف شربة لن تروي ظمأك ونصف وجبة لن تشبع جوعك نصف طريق لن يوصلك إلى أي مكان ونصف فكرة لن تعطي لك نتيجة النصف هو لحظة عجزك وأنت لست بعاجز لأنك لست نصف إنسان أنت إنسان وجدت كي تعيش الحياة

وليس كي تعيش نصف حياة ليست حقيقة الإنسان بما يظهره لك بل بما لا يستطيع أن يظهره لذلك إذا أردت أن تعرفه فلا تصغي إلى ما يقوله بل إلى ما لا يقوله

What to Carry on the Road

Copied from the amazing Coach Surfing by Jerome Luepkes is a Berlin-based business consultant and travel writer

For most people, travel is about seeing new places, experiencing new things and meeting new people. Apart from the fact that travel can take time and cost money, there is also a small matter of what to take with you when you set out on your next expedition.

I believe that travellers can improve their overall experience by simply learning what to do without, and only taking those things which are essential for a safe and healthy trip.

Here's a list of the top 10 things to take on the road:

1. Money belt – This is the single most useful travel accessory that I’ve ever come across in all my travels. A small, robust pouch is all you need to hide your passport, credit card and large money bills in an easily concealed format that fits snugly around your waist at all times. No more worries about not having enough money on you, being able to show your ID, or having your valuables nicked from your back pocket while you’re sloughed over a bar or in the back of a bumpy taxi to who knows where.

2. Day wallet – It’s already pretty obvious that the most important part of travel is to always have your most valuable possessions – ie. currency and identification – completely secure at all times. Item number two on this list is complementary to the money belt – a simple day wallet of the kind that holds a few notes and a bunch of loose change, preferably attachable to your person by some sort of chain or hiking clip.

3. Toiletries bag – This item could be a top ten list in its own right, since it should contain everything from your toothbrush to spare contraceptives, all in generous quantities. Bring a collection of pills, tablets, ointments, etc, to deal with a plethora of ailments such as diarrhoea, muscle cramps, menstruation, bites, allergies, or hangovers.

4. Combination lock and wire – This is an indispensable little gadget and especially useful when combined with an accompanying security wire or chain. This way, you can not only lock your belongings in a hostel locker, but you can also secure your stuff in a place where no lockers are to be found; for example, to a metal bed-frame or towel rack.

5. Laminated passport copy –  This item may seem like a surprise to some, but it can be astoundingly useful. A crisp, laminated copy of your main passport page is a great way to satisfy all those who might want to see your details during your travels. Ideally, the laminated passport copy includes a copy of the entry stamp for your current country on the back.

6. Compass – Yeah, I know, nobody wants to look like a complete geek, wandering around with a compass and map in their hands. Buy one anyway. Not all cities in the world come equipped with clear street maps with dots on them saying “You Are Here”.

7. Alarm clock – Some travellers may take a mobile phone or iPod with them which has an alarm included. For the rest, it’s probably a good idea to take one of these.

8. Zip-lock bags / Tupperware – This is one of the rare things that I organize before embarking on my travels. I keep my small laptop in a sturdy, water-proof Tupperware container and most of my other things in thick zip-lock freezer bags. That way it doesn’t matter what type of weather conditions I encounter (not to mention the ever-present problem of sweating); my stuff will always be dry. In fact, on any given day, I would be able to throw my entire pack into the next available swimming pool and not worry in the slightest that anything of value would get soaked. Try it yourself and see what happens.

9. Water bottle – This is an important weapon in the keep-your-stomach-happy arsenal. I always find that if you look after your stomach, then the rest of your body will look after you. When you’re on the road, don’t eat too much junk, always have plenty of fruit and vegetables, and a constant supply of clean water.

10. Flashlight – God knows, there are enough idiots on the road that feel that it’s perfectly appropriate to barge into a crowded hostel dorm at three in the morning, turn on all the lights and make a huge, drunken fuss as they try to find their stuff, but you don’t have to be one of them. Flashlights come in all shapes and sizes, and generally speaking, the smaller and lighter (no pun intended) the better.






Remember: when traveling long distances, “you are what you carry”.
