It would be a mistake to consider love Shawqi
to Ni'meh just a passion for emotional toward a
woman, burning and its authenticity fades and then
lose sight of oblivion, but it is nothing like life to the
extent that it is impossible without Shawqi, perhaps
because this love began in the early stage, it is
difficult to ignore: approximately, since the day you
were born a blessing! At this time, Shawqi operates a
boy in a workshop in Ramadan, not over the age of
10 years when he dared to the door of , to ask

In this today pictures of his small boyish imagination

that love inside! After that, he used to watch from

Shawqi, on the contrary, it might perhaps be wished

which was Shawqi sinking a blessing in terms of

the change toward him. Finally disappeared
pushiness and smile and warmth , and replaced
by ignorance and indifference and nods centrifuges
misogynist! Then the thought of Shawqi in progress

sensitive because of his work at Ramadan. How
would it pursuant to Ramadan, which is the first to
know about the interview barely sufficient to eating

not care about truthful! It was his love to Ni'meh

ashamed of or lying by such ridiculous games, was
it is the reason why?! Or see had loved anyone

So Shawqi scene of the end, as it should be!
The current reality, with all its failures right, is not
for him, but false image and evasion, technical error,
unintentional! Since Months shined in his head the
idea seemed lightning in a cloudy sky. It had
reviewed all possible causes, which may be paid to a
blessing to leave him, he felt that, whatever the
reasons, but the blessing of the if rich! This

idea is a discovery! At this time, the project for the
establishment of a company had crystallized in his

inevitable that the and encourages them

here he conducted Shawqi head to the group and
said:
The idea of my Group, we properly different

know what is?
Without waiting for an answer he firmly, which
raises his index finger:

As fails the patient in determining when and

remorse. How eyes anxious, because its voice

Then he started to feel the blessings of change
on his part (him)
Since weeks received old Shawqi shock that
almost stopped his heart. That was when he saw a

Many know me as an engineer, but very few of them
know me as an artist. But I think it's complex

before he gives me any guidance is serious in life.
My mother was forced to work in a factory sewing
clothes and then pay to be able to meet the
educational expenses rapist my sister Zahra, so they
wanted the miracle of the sky for aging and a
handful of diseases. Graduated from the Faculty of
Engineering, Cairo University and married sister of
fruit merchant's son moved to live with him in the
city of sunrise next to his father's stores. Did you
know or love, but it has suffered from the bitterness
of poverty which makes them think in a way the
process. I loved the graphic since childhood in
which she was also a hard, even penetrated one of
my paintings school fences, was invited to the

youth from neighbors guides us to the television

and streets lighting columns, when asked by the

I replied spontaneously:

95% were enrolled in Faculty of Engineering. In the
league knew how to celebrate false talent not for
sponsorship, but with a view to shoe officials,
ministries and institutions. It is therefore not only
actual opportunity in my fourth University when
submitted to a design competitions posed by Harvard
University on its website on the Internet. (By the
way, my mother has made considerable effort to
provide me a computer and printer for my sister sent
to assist me in the study and I would like to place on
record my thanks to them for that), at this time we
enter the Internet through cards limited time and
loading cargo. It seems that they believed I am a
genius and sent me a letter in which to travel
to complete my studies in the United States, but
because of a Doggone romantic leaked to some
books that I read, I have answered the call special

"I thank you for the kind renew me but I love
my country and I wish to remain in Egypt until

interview and the opportunity to work in the same

the name of US or European school to get the job.
Thus, the graduated until I started this damnable
feeling alienation. it suddenly realized that there is a
kingdom of suspicious confused in the world that I
know. I had to move between the work of the many

one of the offices, engineering vendors

that I got used to! Dad pursuant to Ramadan (and

still young, the capacity of the market for us to
compete with whales, therefore, there is no

inadvisable for Tsunami after a deal, the deal boiled
down to import large shipments and successive
Japanese car brands from one hug in the market. The
shipments had sunk in the ocean caused by the
tsunami in 2004, and is on its way to India, and the
fact that the shipment was insured in one of
insurance companies, insurance company has
resorted to picking up sunken cars nozzles, and
returned to the manufacturer in return for a waiver of

consideration that the cars that had been two months

we have been able to flood the market, price

tsunami deal did not dream of profits, amounted to
more than four million pounds in two years. But as

life, the market began gradually up to the case of
saturation, it turned into our profitability to
unchanged and then decline, and we have recognized
the seriousness of which involves the adoption of a
company on one product, that succeeded and failed
rebounded bankrupted! With the critical financial
situation of the company, we must choose between
two things: either to search for a new road or
surrender to the decline curve was inevitably will
lead us with time to bankruptcy. At the same time,
we must use our name, which began circulating in
the market, which is not in line with the trade of
adulterated , most importantly we during this
period, we have also acquired enmities are endless
and the market waiting for the opportunity to destroy
us. And how was it easy, because we did not,
compared with them, more than boys playing with or
bugs crawling home must be eliminated as soon as
possible. In short, is no longer in our park as well as
we can no longer work in the same way, the former
should be to find a solution to this problem!
Empty weeks have passed, and in this period of
leisure and relaxation we started we are to last,
our souls to our favorite in Shubra, as long as the

We have opened the door for the people of the

quite traditional. We bought a piece of land in the
Pyramid Plateau, the price of the square meter 90

to ensure that the earth, in two months we have
finished the first sale of a complex Paradise

the least amount of risk, so we@ the full two years

directed to returnees from the Gulf, in addition to
senior officials in the government sectors,
investment, oil, tourism, housing, agriculture, banks,
business, young, and senior doctors, they only have
the purchasing power of these units. Thus, in the six
months we have been able to achieve a significant
margin covering the weakening World Bank loan
funds and depositors together, we started new
projects, before that we, demanding to start paying
our material! Thus, barely a year I even impose the
name of Paradise himself in the real estate market,

marketing, and development in line with major
companies. and soon we showered offers, tenders,
and between these options, the major tender
announced in the Official Gazette: a piece of land on
an area of 250 thousand square meters in the
northern coast, at eight pounds per meter! The access
to the land means our transition one leap to adult

that befell the mysterious fear, the file that
read like a book of work on the account, all his
movements, and its realization, . The problem
has increased his feeling that reality under the grip of
the unknown. All what he understood from Alam
said that the deal was in favor of "people".. But these
"people" did not curb Allam more than this, he
wondered RAMADAN any person in the country

The nicest oh Lord!! Long Days Passed where
Ramadan did not do any thing. A few little bites, and
the rest of thinking and fumigation. He wondered: on
the one hand, those who know him every small and

time the issuance of government approvals, loans,

repayment installments. Such an entity, which
obliges him to deal with an unarmed man like him?!

It is strange that the government has agreed to the

alienation forget my attention started

breathtaking words have acquired at that
moment particularly serious:
"has the honor to inform the Secretariat of

was clear that the questions were arranged

coming to an end as evidenced by the
number of hands filed a request for the

against peaceful and very surprised me
from my hidden on representation, and
started talking about:
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the
Compassionate. My name is Mustafa
Kamel Ismail, architect in free work
... I have a little questions and queries, and
I wish that you accept to my queries W. .
Please go ahead!
He had made me carries out his ,
filled with pride, so it became a few steps
holding their sleeves in front of his chest
exposing his stature
indifferent smile, represents an confident
in front of the cameras has focused in the
face with a look strong and in-kind, as if
reminds me of his stature and ability of
which special staircase crowned by king
awaiting the end of words until the
judgment, has received all these messages
assures it all the same smile the peaceful..
The first inquiry, Sir for economic sphere..
We all know. The figures, which the
government in national newspapers and
television said that the economic growth
rate is very high and about 8% or 9 %..
eaders exports increased.. The Suez Canal
[ ]166

revenues increased tourism.. But we, as a
nation, not feeling any need of needs de..
As we read the opposition newspapers or
disembark the street have tragic image of
another sincere ... The rate of poverty has
increased. According to the report of the
recent Arab development.. The 68% of
Egyptian families living as less than 2000
pounds a month, I mean, 350 dollars,
despite the statistics of the world's richest
people appear each year Egyptians too.. If
wage gap find strange.. Days
feudalism, what is the revolution of 52.. In
a time in which there is, pay an engineer or
a doctor or a teacher 200 or 400 pounds in
one month we will find someone else in the
same eligible, but in another location in the
State income millions under the name
bonuses and allowances? In addition, Sir,
nepotism and corruption of government,
which has spread to every area of life
almost.. The adoption of the education of
youth conservation has become out all
humanist total, friendly with the declining
role of the Al-Azhar and information
except New starch informs the
thinks, not linked to history and what he
doesn't know the religion properly.. 12
million homeless. Street children arrived at
2 million.. 3 million Egyptians live in the
cemetery, 60 Egyptians living as without a
sewage!
[ ]167

In the area of health. EGYPT RANKED
FIRST IN THE WORLD in diseases of
kidney failure, and sugar, and pressure,,
viral hepatitis, which became infected 18
million Egyptians, according to the latest
statistics. All da did Egyptians who were
known they more people linked to their
country and the rate of migration. At least
they started their loyalty to think of travel..
The rate of immigration has increased 30
times in recent years. If you stayed now the
street and asked any young man if I would
like to live in Egypt and not..
answering that he wants a country!
Friendly simple reason.. Because it is not
feel dignity.. You, as any member of the
police stop me in the street because
of emergency law.. The question carefully..
Is there another questions?!
This is how the president's son, said with a
laugh is exempted yellow truncated
delivered to the young people who seemed
to be they attach my eyes, however,
was not executed a few murmurs and
laughs at empty intermittent dimmed, I
was not sure that the president's son, who
did not ride never in his life, and did
not play or tangles in the streets of Shubra
background is small, never before has also
said that his life was in such a position, and
therefore do not know how to act, and thus
can not be forced on an end to the words if
[ ]168

designed to continuation, and not the
appearance of suppresses Youth
Conference, which destroys the idea of his
claim, and then each crouched this fact has
changed confusion full control of the
situation, and I fired visual empty
laugh did not mean, however, coverage
The seriousness of the situation,
determined to continue with the same
smile, which confirmed that they have lost
the capacity traps now completely, but I
did not who said so could do so:
I am very hard very happy I am speaking
with you, and I thank your patience! Last
question, Sir in the area of policy. It is
noted that the marginalization of all
opposition parties, as well as the
Constitution gives the president the powers
possible abandonment deterred many
years in power. While I believe that it is
our right, like all democratic peoples we
choose our president from more than one
candidate, so that the duration of the
remaining four or six years only two terms,
in order to give hope to any one of the
young people of that possible keep the
President of the Republic of the day.. Also,
recent constitutional amendments article
76 and 77 landed impossible conditions the
candidate for the post of the president so
that it is almost impossible to apply to a
non-you.. Friendly except for the strong
[ ]169

rumors in the street that is being
processed, you, as the heir of governance,
although the rule of President Denies da,
and we are, of course, , but all
indications are that I have mentioned you
say the opposite, so that in the end
wonderfully in the picture any non-Sir..
The Last Word has shined eyes victory
rejoicing and read in his face he started to
inquire combined defeat and anger and
disability, and I don't know why it
reminded me of the famous world trade
tower immediately in America while
riddled pride that the plane immediately..
and burned up!

it lives miserable and repeated complaints

because of the permanent and Egypt,
while Aziza well aware that her mother is
lying; it is the constant animosity with her
family, in the view of Egypt as a country is
poor, backward, as suspects in all of the
Egyptians; and thou seest them have
their eyes on the doomed, when forced to
visit Egypt reduced disallowed to the
maximum that can be so Not more than a

Aziza, the real cause of suffering was
attributable to the sense of being lost

pamper his mother to him, and life of
isolation imposed by him, that broke out
trivial does not serve for something, and
possibly pushing it to have committed
themselves to the religion defeat his feeling
of inferiority and failure in public life,
thus, it has become very dear to both,
mother and brother, the last chance to save
the future of the Family, which is
threatened by marriage is dear to another
Arab rich, final attempt from mother to
gambling, and who knows? Perhaps her
mother had agreed to marry her already

absence, thus distinguish between them

next to Chinese food on the table and then
to Aziza:

Ok, they want to go to the bathroom!
Here, as soon as her brother warning:

He said Tariq, referring to toward the door

at understanding with his mother and then
walked away.. Dear remained submissive

What to suspend Said to realize the first look that he was
involved in an ambush traffic. The view was the reason
for concern. There are two cars beside the pier,
while standing strength in humiliating in Waiting
Amnesty for their cards on which had certainly been
withdrawing them, while the members of the Committee
in the case of harassment, ignoring enjoy drivers, it was
clear that it hour dinner of the members of the

Commission, shows that the Chinese food , one to
the Secretary of the police, and two of the Israelites,
while singled out second officer, who was sitting on the
corner over other wicker chair, remove one of the stores
on the street, which is to be careful to enter the happy
even to easy gesture to the entrance to the street, the
direct impact WRINGING HANDS OF FOOD AND

He said the Secretary-General arrogance. The impact on
the Saeed, who papers quickly, while he
wondered..
The pasha, what?!
Opposite direction!
The happy to leave anything of the Secretary-General as
a feeble, weak showing a sign "hidden" behind a tree in
the street so that it was almost impossible to detect from
the outside of the street, but after entering the -the sign
(All traffic in the opposite direction) for a moment
suspend said at a gateway like someone who absorbs it.
The stringent and harsh words sharp fully
consistent with the pattern of life which Mawsili is due
not happy depends very much on the question, however,
stopped a moment of imminent in the sign. In fact, he
was thinking of how to act in this position . It was a fine
traffic in the opposite direction is known, cents
became the modern people, who denounced high value
1200 pounds, to add to the list of blackmail drivers, and
here is the Secretary-General asked to 500 pounds.. I
[ ]190

have heard said dozens of stories in this regard, and
knows exactly how to act in these situations: Out of the
paper under solar 50 pounds (the price accepted bribery)
shortly after the attractions and leave the Secretary-
General give him satisfied with the amount that will be
shared with the rest of the yield with the officer who was
sitting there pretending to follow-up the road. This was
what was said by will in ordinary cases, although this
was supposed to be happy at the disposal of the
mysterious reason this time entirely different way..
Oh Pasha I still authors from here yesterday was not the
need!
The Secretary-General so bowed his head into the
window of the window and take a look at the blessing
and then said in a tone of low unequivocally retain beside
his arrogance like the word comma in the subject:
Hat 500!
Is it the machismo that plague men when accompanied
by a woman? Is it because it felt like that from the outset
that participate in particularly odious that it demanded
their representative to blackmail him with utmost
rudeness, or that the many compliance pressures one
reaches in a moment to the explosion without any
account of the consequences, the capital also with Him is
all owned by the difficulty of its borrowing from five of
its owners for generating costs of the Qur'an has not
ready to blame, because it, is today bad horrors
throughout the day.. May be all these reasons may not be
any of them, but the result is the same, namely that the
blood simmered in the face of the happy, so much so that
[ ]191

the hair heart strikes almost be painful and found himself
in the face of the smouldering:
you originally ambush da wrong basis!
Yes, the spirit of your mother!
A spirit of your mother?
The Secretary-General opened the door of the car and
attract said of his jacket to abroad violently..
Ok, lower me here..
He said he keeps on the face of the Movement surprise as
she screamed a blessing followed abroad.
You , why? I am a criminal?!
Iowa criminal and nephew a whore!
Strongly slapped him on the face.
What happened after that the hijackers , did not
exceed scored, but that is a blessing to remember very
clearly..
The Secretary-General has charged happy with both his
hands for a moment, and that restored its balance to
the other two policemen, who confessed had said
cuffed his arms strongly swooped successor of the
Secretary-General on the happy retaliatory punch
to stomach the officer had arrived in the other violent and
heavy blow drew most happy, but said he had received,
being indifferent as he was thinking of a post over the
blessing, which stood her wail and screams

of this staring at some passers-by, who took the position,
without the temerity to just one approach, and perhaps
thought that the matter is to discipline the fact that people
outside the law already committed an unforgivable act,
and perhaps found in this idea sorry appropriate absolves
them before of attempt to intervene. Another
reason for making people on this as it is their
fear of detention under the emergency law in force,
which gives the right to any recruits to arrest any person
and deliver the behind the sun on mere suspicion! This
was the silence gave the members of the Committee a
fertile strikes to kill said kiss of all toward, while so-
called happy loud cry with every strike, while not
attempting to stop a boon for distress with passers-
by in vain. Only one car, it seems that the claimant is
breaking the barrier of fear marched toward them bow.
