Is it blogger's bloc, or life's love getting in the way? Not quite figured that one out yet, but moods vary just like the weather does. Been raining over here for the past week, usual traffic jams, an orchestra of award-winning horns. and the rush of it all. Getting away can be nice, so i point and shoot what i see. Moods, storms, the moments afterwards...



Loved the natural patter of rain drops teasing the glass gently, constant probes of tickling vibes trickling down the panes.
The incomplete world trade center and it's twin towers standing abreast after the storm has passed and beauty in the sky.
The HSBC sinage messed up the picture of the sunset and the rays peeping out.
But i enjoyed taking in the sights of motivation (land) sailing along with depression (clouds) while meeting up with self-actualization, a point one would always dream about, but is it just a dream?
rejection rocks at times... and sometimes desperation sets in, what W/we do in non-existience is pure emotional bliss. Getting lost in the crowd is all too easy and getting out doesn't make much sense..

Life! Have been spending some time with a couple lately, a husband and wife, very loving, down to earth folks with generous souls.. always wanting to give. The other day i was over at their appartment, just getting ready to get out for dinner and we just got around to talking about opportunities. They come, they go, some are exciting, some aren't.
And then the wifey got irked a bit because her hubby kept trusting everyone way too much than they really deserved that he kept getting taken advantage of, the hubby just shrugged it off for it was his way of life. So this lady would do anything to meet ends, but her love didn't want her to, two extremes as some have it in their book, from Forbes to Google, but here was soemthing very touching, trying to make ends meet by doing whatever it takes from killing one's self to selling your artisitic concepts away to predators while another misunderstood her motives.... so innocent, so heart-warming, yet all they both wanted to do was to keep each other happy in whatever way they could. Moments of bliss that they would spend together, a loving peck on her cheek, a tight squeeze of his hand and the times their eyes would wash away the pain in this world.
Life is so sad, yet so beautiful.
Dependance is easy to grow into, escaping into something like another state or sub space is all too great an emotional mind fuck, now i wonder whether they both are the same in their own disguises...

she never intended to make such a journey in the beginning. They met purely by accident, and she became familiar with Her ways, becoming interested as a moth to a flame so she tagged along. To maybe be lucky enough to find friendship and acceptance for being who she were, but the longer she followed Her things began to change, She showed her a world he had never been part of, one of darkness, acceptance and the ability to be human and to feel as individual as she needed to be. she believes in the darkness of human nature where she has found a small flicker of light that she wants to kindle into a fire.
... it has been some time since i blogged here. i've not left here to die out but a break that was really needed while time took it's course. Life is just so beautiful when W/we let go.
Thank You Dina, Nancy & Neha!

Most of us Google fans in the
Middle East and much of the Arab world always thought that
Google would be launching their regional office in
Dubai, but the leader in the search engine industry worldwide has looked way past the
hyped-gorgeous city of buildings and have decided to base their Middle East regional office in
Egypt.
Google Israel already has a
RnD lab for the region in
Haifa and it looks like their marketing and sales operations for the rest of the Middle East will be located in
Cairo.

According to some sources, a few months ago,
Google Egypt hired a Country Manager
(Sherif Iskander -- mentioned here) who also serves as a regional manager and is now looking around for suitable candidates to fill the posts of
Associate Product Marketing Manager and
Product Marketing Manager. An unofficial
Google page at
Wikia.com details why Google should choose Egypt as their Middle Eastern base for regional operations and at the Wiki's
talk page, someone also notes the hiring of the regional manager for the Middle East and points to the vaccant positions.
BrandRepublic's
latest take on Google selling their stake in China's leader in the Search Engine Industry --
Baidu, also confirms that Google is expanding their operations in the Middle East and North Africa while another tagline in the same article states that:
"Google is set to challenge any government approach to censor its search results in the Middle East and Africa"
It seems that although the official Google
jobs site lists the vacancy for a product marketing manager for their office in Egypt, the
listing fails to mention that posting may require travel between London and Cairo, the same job
posted on
monster.com states that the job is located in London although it is for Google Egypt. I'm guessing here, but I think that Google is planning on pushing Arabized/localized versions of their
enterprise solutions like the
OneBox &
Google Earth. One of the reasons as to why Google might have chosen Egypt for their Middle Eastern regional office over Dubai, is since
Yahoo already has a footing in terms of
advertising sales & marketing operations for the region over at Dubai's
Internet City.
These are no doubt some interesting times where Google decides to launch themsleves in the Middle East :-)
