The Empathic COMBO

On the Run, Gamaet El Dowal, with Saeed Darwish, the cashier person:

Saeed: "Do you want a sandwich or combo?"
Me: Sandwich.
Saeed: The combo is only 1EGP extra, and you get a coke and chips. 
Me (thinking):Hmmmm ....
 Saeed: All that thinking for only 1EGP?
 Me: No all that thinking to consider whether or not I want to eat those.
 Saeed: You don't have to. You can give them to someone poor.Me (super-impressed): OK. 'll have a combo then.

Somewhere I belong: Part 1 (3 years later)

3 years later, I took the train to Munich for the exact same reason: to see my friend Sadaf and share 3-years worth of memories like we did last time. 

The moment I stepped into the train, picked a seat that seemed familiar, placed my big suitcase in front of me like I always do and sat down waiting for a 'déjà-vu' that never came; I realized that nothing else was the same.

My Autobiography - Chapter 1: The BIG Day

It was just another boring Sunday. I arrived at the office at 8, did absolutely nothing till my colleagues started showing up. I had almost taken the decision to quit yet was waiting for the right moment to communicate it to my boss , Ayman, and Team Leader, Sherin: who were more of dear friends to me – and all of us – then painful bossy BOSSes.

My Autobiography - Chapter 1: La Dolce Far Niente

The world is divided into AC (After Christ) and BC (Before Christ), but mine is divided into before and after 2011....

I open my eyes and am as usual prepared to rush out of bed and start one of those super busy days, yet it doesn’t feel like 6 am.

Have I overslept?

My Autobiography - Author's Note

Sometime in March 2011, I finally figured out what my Personal Mission Statement was;

    "To make my Autobiography a Bestseller", 

not from a Capitalistic standpoint but rather a Motivational Inspirational one, that is; to live a life worth living and telling. A life of passion and giving.
