has put a smile on a lot of faces here in DC including meself! The weather has been absolutely gorgeous compared to the aweful forstbite we had to endure over December and January. I spent most of my weekend days launching in my balcony, enjoying the Capitol Hill scenery. Good times indeed.
Fun galore chez Idil continued on Saturday night as I went to Babylon, a Middle-Eastern sports cafe/shisha bar with a dancefloor and a decent DJ spinning some joones! I got to catch up with the premier league on the wide screen, a well-missed trip down memory lane. Good old Premier league! Expectedly I spent most of Sunday chillaxing. I looked forward to work this morning.
When I came in to the office this morning, unfortunately suicide bombing and more killing were headlining the news. The latest news being an Afghani female suicide bomber who killed 49 civilians and injured more when she ofloaded in a public area. As much as it is condemning and absolutely unacceptable what these suicide bombers are doing, I can vaguely understand their reasons behind it. They have virtually nothing to live for with no source of income, nothing to eat or drink, women especially are anyone's prey prone to catching all kinds of deseases with no healthcare in place nor anywhere to give birth if they fell pregnant. There is no family unit as most people's family members are either killed or imprisoned. Joining a militia group that provides them some form of belief to stand for gives them, I suppose, a reason to die (since they're most likely to die, held captive or be killed anyway).
We live a saddening world.
I'm still in the office at 5pm. need to shoot off, been here since 5am!
A bientot, mes amis :)
