There are quite a number of things on tv, theatre or film that are indeed entertaining. But not many are well written, and well conveyed. (Creatively appreciated art, one that explores the limited avenues and enhances it as oppose to being overly resourceful by creating more options thus not having much focus.)

Today marks a week since I’ve been back. The last day of travelling are always peculiar. A closing ceremony, making it nostalgic, peculiar. Similarly when:
I’ve noticed, it all ends, when you start unpacking. The above photograph, ends that extended moment with a loud silent full stop.

A little hooked to this right. Right before was Coming Home – John Legend. Let’s go OD and get it over with. Still nice though.

The photo above, is a Christian church in West 4, Manhattan. On the ground floor of that same building, obscurely, is a mosque and Islamic centre, where I had the chance to do Juma’a prayers there just two weeks ago. The same time New Yorkers were debating the issue of the construction.

Watch the video (click here to watch extended version) in this post, of the defense against the opposition of the building of the Islamic Mosque and Cultural Centre, and the support for it, by the mayor of New York city, as well as leaders of other religions.

I understand that there are some who might be comfortable with either of the two cases above, but keep in mind a few important concepts living and life. Justice. Respect. Society.
