And just when u thought we were settling down.Please have a look at the site we have moved to. Authors, please create an account there. We have been having no luck getting a response re. the inability to add Authors, and now the messed up template, and the inability to update it.So we have found a far more functional host.This is a staged move, this blog will remain up, till everyones links etc

I love Cape town. It is the most awesome, metropolitan, laid back place I have experienced. The people are (generally) great. The city is beautiful. The natural surroundings breath taking.But something happens to cape town when the skies open. The generally well meaning people are transformed. The water seemingly permeating their pleasant personalities and, sloshing around their cranial cavities,

So SS and I are having a discussion over a very messed up guitar session and he mentions in a very by-the-way tone that his beloved would like a TV and he disagrees because he doesnt watch television. The contorted looks of shock, horror and awe that decorated my face would have gotten me into Cirque du Soliei a la Freak. And freak out I did!!!!I was like 'dude do you have death wish or something

It is pure hate on so many levels, it doesnt matter if you Muslim, Jew, Black or Indian it is an attempt at building white supremacy sentiment and it seems to be working.

First off let me start by saying I absolutely hate it when the world looks to the USA and Britain for solutions to problems that aren't inherently theirs. Zimbabwe is one of those problems....In fact I despise the fact that South Africa has been slated for quiet diplomacy etc towards Zimbabwe, especially since people fail to remember that Zimbabwe in the 1960's and 1970's under the leadership of

I had a bit of a worrying light-bulb moment while sitting at the druids apartment last night.The Hyundai ad, featuring Quinton Chang, was playing and I realized..the image portrayed to woman in most advertising is quite disturbing.Now let me quickly clarify. I am all for female empowerment.That being said I have an issue with gender discrimination and stereotyping of any kind, and when '

Recently, for some reason, I've taken to spending up to an hour in my local supermarket when grocery shopping. I suspect its due to the pleasure I've been taking in the domestic lately, but I think the very higgeldy piggeldy way I shop has something to do with it, and also there tends to be a lot of contemplation.Some of the time in the shop was spent over ethical question. I have a brand of tea

Books on the the Middle East always seem to depress me but somehow I'm always drawn to these non fiction books which allow me to develop a more objective perspective on what has happened there and how it contributes to what is happening there now. So imagine my surprise when I turned to a page depicting a map of the Middle East and I noticed something peculiar..have a look below?Did you notice it

I said I’d give it a shot, so here I am.

SS your post reminds of me of Alexander Pope's "An Essay on Man: Epistle II"He begins by saying:Know then thyself, presume not God to scan, The proper study of mankind is Man. Maybe Alexander Pope in his long winded but rather amazing piece of work has found the answer to that perplexing question? "Where is God when the most horrendous, diabolical and tragic events occur?" Is the answer: "Where

Forget Gold, forget diamonds and precious stones, forget even the liquid wealth that is oil. Of all the commodities on this planet only one has caused the most longing, the most striving and, ironically, the most bloodshed.You see at the end of the day the thing we are all aiming for, the one that eludes us the most, and the one we spend our entire lives running towards, is Peace.And yet I think

A very long time ago in the lowlight of a life well lived so far, I wrote a poem which said that I would be 'etching my mark on the sculpture of my life.' I said that because I knew that as someone who believed in God and being Muslim I just couldn't sculpt the whole damn thing myself and really truly that my path in life is guided by God with a miniscule bit of help from me. So what ever I did

This weekend I got the down-lights installed in my apartment.The bedroom looks Amazing. All modern, with the accent areas highlighted beautifully.The down-lights strangely provide less light than a bulb would so, as much as the highlighted spots are bright, the rest of the room is relatively low lit. Which is awesome for the bedroom.Unfortunately though this doesn't work so well for the bathroom,

Narika had a sit-down with her folks last night...The overall discussion can I think be summed up in two categories:The typical Indian-parent tirade:Where her parents told her why they think she is rushing into things and that she needs to slow down and that marriage is a lasting commitment and that you really need to be sure et cetera.The not so typical Indian bit:Her Dad agreed to drive her to

When things go wrong first thing in the morning I often think its a sign of the day to come and I should get back into bed, pull the covers over my head and wait until the bad karma passes.Like this morning I made some porridge just after I came out of the shower - planning to get dressed while the cooled. I put some bran in and was putting the packet back and a bottle of rum fell out, and at the

The sun was shining, but it was still cold enough for the woman to keep on her jacket without feeling uncomfortable. Besides, the place where she hails from is way warmer. She relaxed on her chair in quiet contemplation over her cappuccino, her reverie broken by a voice that could melt an iceberg asking her if the seat next to her was taken.She looked up, slightly dazed only to be met with the

What is it with HIV tests that could make a saint break a sweat?Seriously I mean the tiniest moment of confusion in that whole process could have the most serious impact on your psyche!!!Maybe I should track back, I was requested to go for an HIV test as a requirement for a life policy that I want to take out, so I end up going to this clinic down the road from me.

BabyBro has decided that he hates The Snooty Boys College.He won’t tell me why.Our agreement was that he tries it out for one year and if he hates it, I’d happily transfer him elsewhere. I wasn’t expecting him to hate it though. I thought he’d love the opportunity to grow up away from Schauderville, away from the gangsters and the drug dealers and the crime. Apparently I was wrong.What do I do

I have a problem with Autumn..Ok it isn't really a problem..as far as seasons go I love it to bits..the colours are stark and beautiful, and the atmosphere becomes so crisp. Its such perfect 'introspective and yet one with the world' weather.But autumn in Cape town..thats a different story entirely.I think its mainly because Cape town sits on a different timezone than the rest of South Africa,

Right now, I'm trying really hard to remember that I'm old and hard and jaded and cynical and don't believe in love.It's not working.Sometimes, some things are just not meant to work, no matter how much we want them to work.

She will probably tell me that I cannot drag someones name through the mud, and that the Scorpions (the SA version of the CIA) will find me.But he is. He is a moron on a royal scale.

I believe that humankind will some day come to be ruled by compassion. This is not a mere starry-eyed personal conviction for me, but a theoretical stance--a matter of data. I'm not going to defend that belief at length here, other than to drop a link to a speech I feel best sums it up (http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/163). Once, though, much to my surprise, an argument on compassion

I play guitar every morning..it started mainly cos Narika is up at 5-30, and gives me a call around then, so I ended up having a-lot of time in the mornings to just relax and ease into the day. It's interesting in that it has become a sort of praise and worship time. Something I never foresaw happening in my own free time. It has (strangely) become one of the most important parts of my day, and

So I finally get the dream 'thingie' that I wanted...(no telling silver sabre!!!). But here is the thing instead of revelling in the joy of owning this 'thingie' I'm left pondering the plight of others and how I can help.It seems to me that success is not an easy road to travel, for it is a road that is travelled alone yet you are not alone.It should be travelled like a tourist who visits many

Firstly, Welcome! wow, what an awesome first post!I think being from a different country you would need some background on what apartheid actually did from a mindset perspective.The whole 'seperation based on race' was far more subversive a move than most people seem to realize. It not only fragmented society causing organised resistance to be very difficult to achieve, but also changed the way

Please forgive the intrusion, everyone. You seem a pretty close-knit clan, of whom I know only Leigh Anne, and her only recently. However, as a foreigner living and studying in Johannesburg, I feel I can give a new viewpoint on race in South Africa, an issue I can see is a favourite of the blog.Before I start, a tiny bit of background on myself so you know where I'm writing from.

Reading the past few posts regarding the racial divides in this blog, I've been inspired to write something of my own as well, as it is happens over here as well. I wouldn't label it as racism as much as I would discrimination, but it happens, and quite blatantly as well.Our countries are very similar in certain respects, one of it, we were both under British influence (though most of the British

Been reading some of the responses to the Free State debacle. Let's for one second forget the whole racist issue and really question why those workers would actually allow themselves to be manipulated like that?I mean its been 10 years and if a person of colour's confidence is still that low that they can't tell a white person to FUCK OFF when they suggest something as lewd as what happened at

Yesterday, for the first time ever, I had a counselling session. I've been going through a tough time lately. Not tough in the grand scheme of things, but just tougher than I could handle. There were some extraordinary (in the dictionary sense of the word, rather than the commonly used sense of the word) circumstances. I had signed up for counselling in early January, and was told the waiting

I was speaking to SilverSabre about the situation in Bloem. They have racially segregated residences. Where would they have put me? I have an aversion to ticking little boxes next to race – especially seeing as they never have one for “human”. My name is ambiguous, leaning to white. I don’t sound coloured. I don’t look very coloured either. It’s there if you’re looking but frequently people

I think I could ask a million people and get a million answers...I never did get beauty when it came to people. By 'get' I mean I never did understand it.I have met some of the most beautiful people, and growing up it seemed that the ones that were the most beautiful on the outside were far from beautiful on the inside..almost like external beauty compensated itself by negating any internal

So I feel honoured to be part of this communal blog, but then I have angst over what to blog about here, and my increasingly scattered brain cannot think of anything artistic to talk about, which might follow the theme of this blog.
