*Edited* What do u guys think???  and why???
Due to public demand, i set the default theme back to the original (random header image theme), because most ppl liked it best. I guess people like its simplicity. I personally liked the journalized blue (or three column) theme, but oh well. This site isnt about […]

Minaret is Leila Aboulela’s second novel, the first of which to be published here in the United States. (I highly recommend her first novel, The Translator as well).

Side note: I read The Translator for an English class last year, and wrote a paper on it (see Written Work). Last month, I received a comment from […]

I never really knew how to classify myself politcally. Although I initially registered as a democrat, i changed my political affiliation to Independent, because I dont really like any politcal party.

Possibly…
After reading Amir’s post on Pashtuns were Jews?, I did some further reading and there is a leading theory that suggests that Pathans (my mom is a Pathan) may have descended from the ancient Israelites (the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel).
What do i think about this… lol its cool.
