Layoffs

So the layoffs news has been hot for a week, then it actually happened. The day is a heavy day. it feels like a horrible accident has happened and news of casualties is trickling in.

The morning starts with “Is it happening today”

the mid of the day is a tally of up to this many people have been laid off.

The Day ends with “It’s a depressing day”

The irony in all this is that fact I cannot see the logic behind it. There is the reason of budget cuts but the process is crude and merciless. What about the aspect of Ramadan, Seriously, we are destroying people’s Eid with the stress of Job Loss and no future.

The people let go are leaving Gaps behind in the operations that cannot be filled easily, they might end up hiring people again to fill the same gaps.

not sure what is going on but it is not good.

Maybe this fits in with the greater issue in the region, the Blockade but it is sad and depressing. the whole charm of moving to MiddleEast is off me. Maybe one more adventure and back home.

Memories

My father is amazing guy. Even in his old age he inspires me. It is sad that i couldnt turn out to be the stronger and better version of what he wanted but i pray i still am able to make him proud.

New begining of an old story

Time is still moving forward and i realize i am now 38. What the heck. I spent all my adulthood after goals which are still goals. I wish to make a better futurw. I keep telling myaelf this for the last 17 years. Maybe i will keep sayibg the sane until i die.

There was a time

When I couldn’t afford a McDonald’s meal. It was a luxury I thought beyond me. The same time a khaki pants from Walmart was off limits. When I did gather courage to buy one for less than 20$, I felt I had accomplished something in life.

Looking back, I am forgetful and unthankful. Life is not about the latest cars or beat gadgets. I was more happy when I had that Walmart pants than now I can afford much better alhamdulilah.

Never forget where you come from. Remind you soul it’s place and let it not transgress with using you desires. I worked for 5.25$ per hour and it was a blessing.

Born with it

Came across alot of “influencers” recently. What is amazing is that they not older than 25 or so. So what makes them an influencer?

Apparently their last name. If you are born with a huge bank balance or family name or royalty. You are an influencer. You might not be capable of crap but you are an influencer.

Hail to the losers.

There is always something going on at Souq Waqif, tonight was no exception. There were these woman going around singing songs. Fun times 🙂 although my camera is starting to show its age in low light, I need to start using a flash

 

Just a little bit of push

All I have to do it push my self a little bit and maybe things will get better. Gotta put that extra bit in and maybe things will work out inshallah. Trying to be optimistic rather than a pessimistic will help me accomplish all. All is can do is try inshallah and Allah will help me rest of the way. But one thing that is critical is the faith in the all mighty cuz without faith in him I can out in 200% but that won’t make a difference.
