Stravinsky's Sizzlin' Shack

I left the local blogging scene in Bahrain years ago due various reasons (work / time / food).

This blog is no longer updated and has not been over the past 6 years at the very least so the links will be stale. I am still a very happy Batelco customer though contrary to my rants in the past :)


But if you need to get a hold of me for something you think I can help out with, then please head over to linkforchange.org or you could get my attention with a tweet @iange.

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!
