10:29 pm // Halloween and the Yemen bomb plot
I was planning to dress up as my self and go out to be taken as a terrorist, perhaps even wear that Pathan cap but it seems I am so not in a mood for another party. Have already apologised to all the friends (really grateful for your invitations!). But yes technically Halloween is tomorrow - so lets see if I am in a mood for it tomorrow.
Also was talking with an old Scotsman earlier in the...

Abuse Of Temporary Marriages Flourishes In Iraq -... →
The practice of temporary marriage has long been common in Shiite Muslim communities, especially in Iran. The idea is that rather than having an affair, a man who wants to be sexually involved with a woman should marry her — for a few months, or even, hours — so the relationship will be legitimate.
In Iraq, the practice was banned under Saddam Hussein but then flourished after the American...

While the plot of a lucid dream may not be as dramatic, the process is similar.
Someone having a lucid dream realises they are dreaming and may from then on in ‘direct’ the action. Alternatively, they may simply ‘watch’ the dream unfold.

1:00 pm // here now
This is the place where you fall in love, this is the place where you want to come back again. That calm vast sea in front of you solemnly touching the feet of the high cliffs on the edge of the land is just silently listening to your poetry as the light house silently puts the spotlight on the distant waves.
