all about Cato's Atheneaum

A journey to a life worth keeping...

...all the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players...

As I continue to act on this joyous-arduous, funny-crazy,exciting-frightening stage so called LIFE...I begin to wonder...Could it be possible in this prime of life, I would be able to play the much awaited LEAD ROLE?
..still pursuing...still fighting...still aiming...

Until the last curtain call...

Just a little walk with my friends...

 In this place where you always seem to be alone...It feels good to pamper yourself once in a while with a nice walk , food , shopping and cool talk with friends .
cosmetic shopping? ..or mere posing?
The cool winter wind gave  a relaxed mood to the nearly-spoiled night I had...with  unexpected exchange of words with someone who I  least expected it to have with.
a pose-relief after tiring individual work responsibilities

Pretending to be relaxed???
worth the walk
 It was indeed another night to look forward to...        SOON...

Better Left Unsaid... ( To my Best Friend-18th Sept. 2010)


There are things better left unsaid,
For the hurt it may cause can never be altered
    Though I wish to tell you the truth-
    After all “NO SECRETS” we repeatedly deemed and oath
But surely things will never be the same
Once you know, I’m afraid you will truly be lame
    You keep on telling me you are numb,
    Despite the immeasurable pain, never will you succumb
But forgive me, I felt knowing this would break your heart!
It’ll not only give you tears, but even tear you apart!
    I hate feeling guilty, for in fact I should NOT!
    God knows how I love you dearly…without a tiny spot.
I wanted to hold you, and embrace you tightly;
Give you the assurance that life would turn out lightly
    I tried hard to forget, though it’s haunting me and I’m aghast
    I felt so betrayed, turned me into pieces and undeniably abashed
I was deeply hurt…yes, I was bothered-but I don’t care,
It’s you I’ve been thinking, taking chances I won’t dare.
    But then I come to realize…forgiving would ease the pain,
    And forgetting would turn the heartaches, into futile and vain!
It will heal my wounded mind, pamper my bruised soul;
Bring back my confidence, with less effort and toil!
    Being open and frank, not subtle –“that’s what I want” you said;
    Since our FRIENDSHIP is eminent, that is what I tried and now I did.
And so I thank you, now I’m a bit at ease,
But so sorry I know, in ebb you are …not at peace!
    All I can give you is my fervent prayer and promise,
    To make all the means, for your happiness to flourish
Ask for the TRUE strength, that only God can give,
Assure you of REAL FRIENDSHIP that will last till the end!

Faith...in every sense...

     FAITH without work, is dead! A biblical line which is very very true!
For the Skeptics, Faith is a non-rational belief in some proposition. A non-rational belief is one that is contrary to the sum of the evidence for that belief. A belief is contrary to the sum of the evidence if there is overwhelming evidence against the belief, e.g., that the earth is flat, hollow, or is the center of the universe. A belief is also contrary to the sum of the evidence if the evidence seems equal both for and against the belief, yet one commits to one of the two or more equally supported propositions. On religious side, it is a strong belief in a religion based on spiritual conviction rather than proof. While  A scientist's "faith" is built on experimental proof. The two meanings of the word "faith," therefore, are not only different, they are exact opposites.
However, Faith in "something" will only be rewarded and enjoyed by one who ACTS! Act to do it...to live with it...to accomplish it...and to achieve it!

The Mechanic

Just watch the movie, "the Mechanic"  originally starred by Charles Bronson but the remake of Jason Statham awaken my long lost love for action movies... simply fabulous! Love the action...love the twist..A typical Statham movie, like the Transporter but with a higher dose of brutality...an elite hit man Arthur Bishop (Statham) as he teaches his trade to an apprentice who has a connection to one of his previous victims.(His father in fact) Indeed another spectacular from Simon West !Superb! 5 star for it.....

well...with nachos in cheese and hot pickles made it more perfect...lol!

Making memories of us...

A walk to remember...



Once again, a long walk in downtown Manama last night gave me a tiring but a very rewarding experience. From  savoring the cool winter wind to feasting my eyes on glittering billboards where I found amusement and subject of beauty, since I enter into this world of Designs and Advertising. True indeed, that sometimes, we have to go out of this world in our own little crazy way...
