"Put a summer watermelon in your stomach" حط في بطنك بطيخة صيفي Rough translation: ‘He’s got a summer watermelon lodged in his stomach.’ Is that co-worker of yours awfully calm amidst chaos? That driver in front of you simply cannot be bothered to pick up the pace? Well, you could say they have a ‘summer watermelon’ blissfully filling up their stomach. Often used to denote nonchalance and a lack of care, the origin behind this particular saying is fairly straightforward. Watermelon is filled with vitamin B6 and other essential nutrients that help relieve muscle ache and stress, so the connection makes a lot of sense.

I believe in fate. Sometimes that means an old bearded guy sitting on a cloud and pulling the strings; sometimes it means random atoms swirling through a cheerless universe; sometimes it means everything being preordained thanks to your karma credit from your previous lives.

Shopping malls across the county are dying fast, and my images of them are very nostalgic for most people that grew up attending these malls. These malls were communal spaces. These were gigantic chat rooms before the Internet existed. You went to the mall to meet and communicate with others, not just to shop.

When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing - just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?
