Academia but you're in Cairo
staying up late looking up ancient jewllery, its symbolism and the stuff it was made from and the methods they used because that was some intricatte stuff you know
having an unhealthy addiction to tea. milk tea in the morning before stting off. plain tea in the afternoon when youre back. tea with mint in the chilly hours before sunset. tea with lemon when youre sick, with honey when youre sad...
listening to asmahan and laila mourad because their voices make flowers grow in your heart. you see abd el wahab or sayed darwish's names and you know youre about to heaar the most heavenly sounds you ever have.
constant debates about history (esp modern history! which is, regarless, my favourite to study!)
thrifting books from soor al azbakeyah and soor al sayeda zeinab and coming across literal gems that were sold for cheaper than dust
your uni is probably a historical site
just kidding your entire city probably is
long walks in old cairo's warm dusty mornings
constantnly stopping short to take in the glorious architecture you see before you. buildings brimming with equal parts menace and cordial affection that are simultaneously overwhelming and welcoming
does their age take your breath or does their sheer size? does their beauty make your heart flutter or is it the deep, undeniable knowledge that theres never going to be something quite like it ever again?
youre never really out of museums to visit. theres always going to be annother you just havent spotted yet
Did i tell what "cairo" means? It is derived from the arabic word "Al Qahira" meaning, She Who is Victorious. She Who Devastates. She Who is a Conqueress. She Who Is Meciless. a drop in the rich seaof her triumphant history
Visiting the ancient temples in upper egypt, the beauty of whom is so eternally breathtaking it makes you forget the tremendous amount of stairs you had to climb to get there.
Calling north Bahari (meaning "of the sea") even tho that could also be east. But you do it anyway.
The poeple going to and fro being endearing; shout/waving greatings to one another, so full of sincerity and hope in the early morning dew. It feels less lonely somehow
Romanticising everything about life as a form of conscious escapism, like all the poets and playwrights whose blood runs i your veins
there are translated works, and then there are arabic-ized wrorks of literature. its not hard to see that you prefer the latter.
also who came up with titles like "god of sword and quill" and "prince of poets"? we need to have a conversation. i love you and so does everyone else with a basic sense of art
visiting the old palaces and castles and always coming across abandoned ones. you wonder who would dare abpndon something so beautiful. you feel an immense sadness and and a crippling blow of yearning that do nothing to remove the dust coating everything or bring the music back to the pianoforte.
going to bazaars even if you knoe youre not going to buy anything. youre here for the copper, thr bass, the spices and occasional gleap of wine red jewllery. oh and the cat you befriended right outside the coffee shop!
buying jewllery and pottery from khan el khalili or el mo'ez streerts becaue everything is just so pretty and we shop local
going to century+ old cafes and sitting at a table that might have been naguib mahfouz's who knows
analizing the "foreign" words in your dialect and feeling an otherworldluy ense of knowing when you recognize wherethe come from! plage is french! shanta is turkish! em bu comes from coptic eb mu meaning water! nunu is ancient egyptian for fragile! and so much more!

As I grow older, I understand why the Prophet (pbuh) said that whoever isn’t kind has no faith. Faith is kindness. If our faith doesn’t manifest itself through kindness, we’re doing something wrong. Our wounds thirst for kindness, our hearts yearn for it. Kindness. Even a small dose helps. Kindness. It’s what humanity needs most.

The problem with British colonialization summed up in one paragraph.
(An excerpt from "Why I'm no longer talking to white people about race" by Reni Eddo-Lodge).
Countries that still suffer from British colonialism
Israel and Palestine: by randomly dividing land and issuing the Balfour declaration, that paved the way for so many wars and conflicts between Israel and Palestine. If those two countries can hardly live in peaceful cohabitation, it's partly due to British colonialism that fueled the hate for years to come.
The Balfour Declaration was a letter written by British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lionel Walter Rothschild, in which he expressed
India: it baffles me how the Great Indian famine caused by Winston Churchill is barely mentioned in history books (if you don't live in the UK that is). Britain exploited India by robbing them off 45 Trillion💲 through a scam in the trading system
And lied about it.
The Kashmir conflict is also the legacy of British colonialism
African countries like Nigeria: look no further than the British national museum to see exaplamples of looted art from former colonies.
Protests have strengthened calls for Western institutions to repatriate priceless cultural artifacts. Museums in Africa are ready to receive
