Day 010 – The beauty of women vs. Hijab..html

According to some sources the custom of covering of face/body of females dates back to Jingiskhan. One of his wifes was flirting too much and that is why he ordered her to cover herself up. The custom was common among Jews, early Christians and of course also among Muslims. The difference is that in Christianity it stayed in usage only for nuns and in Islam it has been accepted as a common practice.

And now we are at the source of problem… What was just a common practice was transformed into a rigid rule. In the recent years it has become a symbolical issue. Right now hijab became one of the symbols of true Islam. We have been faced with conflicts that have been caused by wearing hijab (forbidden in schools in France; Egypt and Turkey are running an agressive campaign against Hijab – see cases brought up by Amnesty International that included violence on women) and cases where women were abused for not wearing it, or wearing it in a “unsifficient” way (common also in Pakistan)…

But my point was simple in the fact, that the women in Pakistan are a litle bit of mistery, showing only the face and You are not supposed to stare at them, but only catch a glimpse. Of course I am not talking about Burka (whole face cover), but about the scarfs around the heads and shoulders of girls. With combination of their love for traditional-alike patterns and bright colours it makes them look often very beautiful

For those guys who are looking for girls who look innocent and precious, its very easy to fall in love here :)

Good thing that I rather prefer lil crazy, smart, rather strong, impulsive girls that are ready to fight with anybody… :D

Day 009- The beauty of nature…

This idea came to my mind while watching at the demolished house on the beach…

Its often the desolation of man`s creation that lets the beauty of work of nature stand out, the simple presence of a man makes the nature look weak and enslaved.

Or is it just that the beauty is in the eyes of beholder and its me who likes these views? Is it an accident that among my favourite movies are those that show the end of our days (Children of Men, 28 days later)?
