fashion.gifWho can claim that there is one definition for beauty, one taste for fashion, and one budget for a dress?  The secret hand of the market knows that well and supply only flows if there is demand.  Cruising in the shopping districts of Sana’a, I was surprised to see how many shops have turned into stores for soiree dresses and various bridal needs.

In the summer of 1998, a young doctor returned to his governorate's capital after six years of medical studies in the faculty of Medicine in Sana'a. As a young graduate, he was hit hard by the fact that he had to wait for over one year in order to get a government job paying 13,000 Riyals. The young doctor did not care about the money; he was upset for waiting for over a year to start serving the people.

Questioning entails identifying, understanding and seeing more of a person’s inner constituents and make up. It is an act of stringing one’s cords to explore which tune best fits their description and which moves best fit their actions. The enquirer may tap subtly on the door to one’s history and mentality, push intimately or barge in unannounced and unexpectedly demanding answers to which one may not want to reveal the intimate details of. It is the latter that creates a puff of disorientating smoke. The harmful effects of which may be filtered away by those whom have prepared with their lifetime by setting up the grills to their ventilation system. Those unprepared for the day of beckoning would be smothered in the smoke for which they helped set the fire alight in their wasted and haphazard lifetimes and lifestyles.
