I got tagged by Nancy of "Welcome to Beth Narain". Thanks Nancy, hope you and my readers won't find this too boring.

Seven things I plan to do:

1. Carry on with the recounting of my autobiography
2. Sponsor one more international child
3. Take my dear mother on a pilgrim's journey to the holy land in Israel
4. Go on a spiritual retreat early next year
5. Visit Iraq hopefully soon
6. learn to fly small aeroplanes
7. Learn to play the piano

Seven things I can do:

1. Speak forthrightly irrespective of consquences
2. Hide my personal sadness from everyone save my mother and my friend Doreen
3. Maintain my lifelong habit to pray everynight before I go to sleep
4. Sustain hope and faith in difficult times
5. Forgive always and forget
6. Live without coffee or tea for years
7. Sleep for ten hours continuously

Seven things I can’t do:

1. Not feel bad for all the abuse inflicted upon mother Nature
2. Resist smiling at babies wherever and whenever I see them; my smiles, though, are always reciprocated by their adorable grins and noisy gesticulating
3. Tolerate children’s neglect, humiliation of the elderly and animals’ abuse
4. Watch movies of violence
5. Endure sight of blood
6. Not feel guilty for not doing my one hour daily walk
7. Resist ice cream


Seven things I say most often:

1. I suppose so
2. Yella, yella, c’mon, c’mon
3. “how was your day”, every time I call my dear friend Doreen
4. Fair enough
5. Allah kareem, God is gracious
6. why not?
7. ‘Gee, I am late for bed’, when it’s not even nine


Seven people I want to pass this tag to:

Now that this tagging has reached me, I guess everyone else has been tagged

P.S.
Given the nature of my blog, I have tried to ensure things mentioned here are not heavily seasoned with stuff related to my autobiography.

Will Be Back to my Publishing soon.......

Hi Liana!
Very happy to see you post again :) Can't wait for the next installment. I like your ideas- I highly recommend everyone touring Israel as it is an amazing country. At some point in your blog could you make mention of what you do today as far as occupation and hobbies? Not to blow your cover but just so we can get a sense of the real person rather than the young woman from 15 years ago...

69. "Say it for God's Sake, Say it" / Part XIV

I leaned against the copier, my back pressed to it, and stood, hands folded against my chest, anxious for an explanation. He maintained what seemed to be an everlasting silence, settling his smiling eyes provocatively on mine. My thin patience ran even thinner, and surprisingly contrary to my shy nature, I took the initiative, killing the nervous wait, “What is this all about?” “I told you,” he replied and reiterated calmly his previous reply, “It’s about time.” His provocative demeanor inflamed further my stifled rage, which I sensed now to be surging, engulfing my head and burning my face, which must’ve been glowing red. Despite my befuddlement, I was aware of how much he was enjoying this ungoverned manifestation of emotions. “And what’re you up to now?” I asked, assaying hard not to betray my feelings. But such self-control was unnecessary since the question in itself was quite revealing, and had said it all. I was hoping that he was surely going to talk about us, about me,

75. "Say it for God's Sake, Say it," Part XX

Steaming with sweat and legs wobbling with dread, I rushed ahead, trailing Uncle Sam’s heels; my grandpa and Dina also followed suit. The waiting had kept us all on tenterhooks, and my patience had long worn out. The few meters separating the living room from the front door seemed unending. I stood behind Sam, clinging to his shirt, quivering at the thought of whom we might face on the other side of the door—the dear faces of the members of my family or the henchmen of the autocrat. I sighed with relief, however, and my anxiety subsided when I saw my younger brother zooming in the moment Sam pulled the door open, breathlessly letting on some of the good tidings with his innocent question, “You’re going to go to America, Lu?” I sensed the heat of a betraying blush spreading all over my panic-stricken face upon meeting my Dad’s eyes; his reassuring smile, just as ever, had the effect of magic, easing off most of the tension that had held the belt in the pulleys. And I ran towards my fam
