Salaam all. Can someone please help me find sheet music (piano) for "Listen to Your Heart," originally by Roxette? Actually, I'm more interested in DHT's new cover of the song because the piano is absolutely beautiful; however, I doubt it's available because it was released quite recently. Thanks in advance for your help!
May 26, 2005 at 1:25pmHi. I havve lots of sheet music. Go to sheet music.com..they have so much there...or, if u go to any musicians shop..and i am not talking about FYE or any of those posers...y...
May 17, 2005 at 10:38pmI think I heard that song on the radio just today (if it's the same one I'm thinking about). Sorry but I can't help with the piano though ...

I've been wondering about this for some time now... can someone please give me some greetings in Dari? The equivalent of "nice to meet you" or "with peace" or "take care" or "cheers" or something creative like that. I know of Salam and Khoda hafez. Is "Khair kha" a goodbye?? I saw someone write it in email once, that's why I'm wondering. THank you so much for your replies (in advance)!!!
June 1, 2005 at 9:55pmSomeone else told me another greeting... Shaab-e-Khoosh (another way of saying good night besides shaab-e-khair)... Nice!
May 19, 2005 at 5:57pmInteresting, Dr_Riq. I never knew that, but I was in Uzbekistan 6 months ago, and next time I return I will try and use it! Maybe they use it in Kyrgyzstan too... hmm...
May 19, 2005 at 12:08pmI BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW that they use KhudAfiz in Uzbekistan, too. Hey, you never know, it might come in use one day. Having said that; I met this American guy on the train who to...

I?ve come across many people who are easily upset by generalizations that they often feel negatively or inaccurately depict their ethnicity, religion, profession, etc. I personally, am very rarely, if at all, offended by an oversimplified conception pertaining to any given demographic I happen to belong to. I?ve always accepted that the world?s population at large is prone to making generalizations, as it provides individuals an opportunity to construct a simplified model to view the world through. For ex... Read More
May 25, 2005 at 10:29pmsad, but true. it sucks the romance out of our wedding ceremonies. i did go to one (desi) muslim wedding where the bride and groom sat side-by-side on stage w/ their families ...
May 24, 2005 at 2:27pmit is permitted for the bride and groom to be side by side. not sure about staring into each other's eyes though. i think culturally that is a toughie - not sure islamically...
May 23, 2005 at 9:23pmManas, my female cousin recently married a Jewish man. As far as I know, he didn't convert to Islam. No one in my extremely large extended family had anything bad to say about t...

May 14, 2005 at 7:16amI totally support what you are saying here, Ali. I, too, don't approve of the political situation in Lebanon now, but I think that it would make a difference , if not now maybe ...
May 13, 2005 at 6:22pm:-( not me... Will it matter Hana? I don't think it will. As long as there is this sick mentality of religious segregation, nothing will improve. If Aoun got back in Lebanon, an...

What is your worst James Bond flick? Mine is "A View to a Kill", which is a very poor remake of the awesome "Goldfinger". AVTAK features an over-the-hill Roger Moore, the beautiful but horrible actress Tanya Roberts, some lame gadgets, and very little of the James Bond theme!
May 30, 2005 at 7:41amNSNA was entirely a tongue-in-cheek movie, with Connery poking fun at himself and the Bond character. While I mildly enjoyed it (egad!), I lamented the absence of the Bond form...
May 22, 2005 at 9:24pmThe remake of "Thunderball" w/ Sean Connery who had obviously seen better days & Kim Basinger in "Never Say Never" was IMHO the 'worst' Bond flick (inclusive of the 4 main acto...

May 31, 2005 at 10:23amYou know what bothers me, when desi people change their names to an american name. Why not stick with your name that you have had all your life? Why be called Mo or Sam or Joh...

The Unknown Stories of Our Lives move from the mythic to the real. They have excited, angered, puzzled, entertained, nurtured, taught, uplifted, dismayed, and consoled us since the beginning of time. They recount tales of love, sorrow, accomplishment, greed, pride, conquering, betrayal, discovery, and miracles. Truly, in each of us is a potent story that?s waiting to be told. What is the story of your life?
May 13, 2005 at 6:39pmoh my God! That's a looooooooooooooooooong story my friend. Where would you like us to start? I would say there is at least 27 chapters to mine.

May 22, 2005 at 3:29pmWould Superman's "What Makes Me Superman" JE (Part I & II) comprise what you consider a good response to this question?

Have people tried to hook you up in the past? While they may have had good intentions, were they simply uninformed (read: clueless) about what you're looking for? Did everything climax into an outrageous, uncomfortable, emabarrassing or hilarious meeting? C'mon, share those rishtay horror stories with us!
May 15, 2005 at 11:30pmSuperGirl, off course you are invited. Everyone is invited :) Just gotta find the girl.

I hear them wanting to change the way we pray, change the segration in the mosque, allowing gays to have their sect of islam, allow drinking of alcohol, promoting femenism, it seems they have no morals and trying to appease the west. Seriously, what I mention the above things..are these muslims?
May 17, 2005 at 11:56amHijabi, I wish I had more knowledge =/ , actually I wish I had started studying earlier. Knowledge is the fundemental thing in Islam that will keep us close to our deen. Rasulu...
May 17, 2005 at 10:51ammamad, you have made a valid point. I think all the division is due to lack of knowledge. Ignorance is what keeps up seperate. I dont think any Muslim believes that Allah is cr...
May 17, 2005 at 8:57amThe problem that I see with the way Islam is practiced today, is not that Islam isn't a complete religion. As a Muslim I believe it is. I think the problem is with religious kno...

Young people are misbehaving all over the Emirates this week - with two UAE nationals, a 17-year-old boy and a 19-year-old girl - jailed for sending "dirty pictures" through their mobile phones. "The Dubai Court of First Instance heard that one of the girl's friends was jealous of the relationship she had with her male friend. This friend tipped off authorities that the two were exchanging indecent material." Frankly they deserve congratulations for actually getting Etisalat's MMS service to work. An ev... Read More

A friend sent this to me.. thought it was funny and i would share. Probably doesn't belong in this village but i like to live life on the edge!! EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: Company Policy: Effective from January 2005 Dress Code It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so tha... Read More
May 13, 2005 at 9:04pmI will implement that policy in my company (if I ever become the CEO). However, I will continue to oppose those policies till I am an employee.
May 13, 2005 at 12:37pmSo, if you wore Minolo's and ccarried the New LV tote, you don't get PAID at all? hehe
