This is song I wrote a year and a half ago, for my then “fiancee”, now beautiful wife, Maha Fouad, celebrating her 25th birthday.
The song is preformed by Shady Ahmed, to spare the listeners from my amazing voice!
Notable to say, Shady won “Makshoof” Music 2010 award for this song. Read all about it on Rolling Stones Middle East
“Not Enough” Lyrics:
One day to celebrate you,
Is not enough…
One year to get to know you,
Is not enough… Read the rest of this entry »
A Freedom Day, a proud day… an Election day…
Freedom Finger 2
Something I designed ages ago, and remains relevant today!
We are all Egyptians… We are ONE! Wake up and unite!!!
What was supposed to be a normal shopping day ended in a severe injury accident, and contempt by ZARA!
ZARA, the globally renowned clothing brand and known address for fashion seekers, revealed a much darker side of their “corporate ethics”, in response to one shopper’s injury in one of their stores in Egypt.
The incident happened two weeks ago, when Maha Fouad, paid a regular visit to ZARA store in Maadi City Center, Carrefour, Cairo. Maha, an Egyptian marketing professional, and a regular ZARA customer, who “was” supposed to get married this month, visit ZARA store in Maadi, on Friday 26 August 2011, to pick up an outfit for an upcoming friend’s engagement.
Like any normal visit, Maha went to the store with a friend, and there, they picked their garments of choice and headed to try them at the fitting rooms, unaware and un warned of any hazard, minutes later, screams were heard from the Maha’s fitting room, and she rushed out of the fitting room -half dressed- with a bloodied hand.
Immediately, chaos ensued in the store! Surprisingly, the store management were clueless as to how to act in an emergency like this one, and to make things worse, the store didn’t even have a First aid kit, which is against laws and regulations. Luckily there was a pharmacy in the mall, there, Maha was treated primarily, while her friend called Maha’s fiancé & family to come to the store. Read the rest of this entry »
Millions of Egyptians will vote in a referendum on constitutional reforms, a month after a popular uprising swept President Hosni Mubarak from power.
If passed, it would allow Egypt to hold fresh elections within six months. Initial results are expected on Sunday.The constitutional Amendments referendum, Below are the links of the infomercial videos that me and Karim Shaaban have shot 3 videos explaining the reform to the Egyptian constitutional referendum set for 19 march, as part of an awareness campaign, to educate the people about what amendments are proposed to the constitution.
These videos are about amendment proposed to section 75, 76, 179.

“Exibit-R25J” is my very own Jan 25th Revolution Exhibition/Gallery, containing the items which I used on the Day of Rage in Tahrir Square (28th of Jan), and the subsequent days of the revolution.
The items are:
1. My Site Helmet: which i for protection from rubber bullets.
2. The famous Gas Mask soaked with vinegar to protect from Tear gas (which proved utterly ineffective)!
3. Gloves: which actually proved very handy in dealing with hot tear gas canisters!
4. An empty Tear Gas canister: picked up from in front of the Supreme Court.
4. A small banner bearing the Egyptian flag overlay-ed over the famous picture of the 25th of Jan.
5. Empty Bullet Shells: gather from post 28th Army shoot out, the Army was shooting them in the air to scare thugs.
6. A Whistle: which we used to sound alarm when we were in the “Legan” protecting our homes in the post 28th police withdrawal.

The end of tyranny… Light breaks in
A new beginning, new life, a new hope…
A new EGYPT
Yesterday, Egypt awakened to a horrendous tragedy…
An unspeakable act of treachery and evil…
The Hideous hands of terror has struck Egypt, all of Egypt & all of the Egyptians, and it had struck them where it really hurts.
21 EGYPTIANS dead, and 74 wounded… an appalling criminal attack directed at each and every one of us.
Instead of celebrating a new year, we are burying and mourning our victims… and forever will this date, 1/1/2011 be marked with sadness and grief for all Egyptians.
To my fellow Christians, allow me to offer my sincerest and most solemn condolences to you, on your terrible loss…
Your loss is our loss… The blood that was shed was Egyptian… it was you & me and every single one of us who was targeted by these vile murderous acts…
To my fellow Muslims, we must condemn these horrible acts, both verbally and by the power of our actions; we must support our Christian brethren and sisters in their time of trial. That’s what the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) would have done if he was amongst us:
“Those who believe (in the Qur’ān), those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Sabians and the Christians,- any who believe in God and the Last Day, and work righteousness- on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.”
al-Mā’idah 8:69
“Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, “We are Christians”: because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant.”
al-Mā’idah 8:82
And finally, to all my fellow Egyptians, We must stand united against the tyranny of evil doers. It falls on us the educated and intellects of both sects to make sure that this unity remains unshaken, I don’t know how, but it is most important that we understand and make those around us realize that we are not one and the other, we are ONE, there are more things to unites us, than to divide us…
We are not two sects sharing a land, we are one NATION living in its’ land.
We must fight ignorance, hate and sectarian discrimination… by the power of our words, ideas & actions.
May the victims rest in peace and may God bless us all.
