Saddest Times

People might not admit it but these days are the saddest times of the year here in UAE. With roughly 10 to 15% of the almost 3-million population are expatriates from Lebanon and Syria, everyone can feel the tension that these people are going through.

With emails of pictures and facts being forwarded to lots of people, it is difficult to be indifferent. It just moves you to the core. Most of those wounded or killed are children.

It is just bloody ruthless - this war. I hope it will end soon. I hope the heartaches will be mended although that is an impossibility. I hope they will find reason to be merciful. It is a totally devastating scene, the children, the dead, the wounded.

The Piano Man

Hey

Did you ever wonder what happened to that guy who was found wandering wet and silent in London?

He did arouse my emotional placidity. And I came across a reading of him today and dug up what I could. Yes, he has been identified. Here are other links about him.

Piano Man

I need to write more soon. My mind is getting weary, I am soaked in ennui.
