alkhansa It's always hard when someone close to you passed away. I still can remember when my father passed away. It was very hard and difficult for all of us. We tried to be strong and not crying, but still deep down I was weeping silently. I still miss him very much....

alkhansa Indian food !!! One of my favorites. Spicy yet very filling and comforting. Some friends of mine love it too, and they always cry when they eat indian food because of the spices and chilies :-) Thanks!

alkhansa I guess we can never get away from our root :-) A lot of Asians eat rice as a staple food, even after they move from their home country. Thank you for your response.

alkhansa Yes, I am more in favor of using palm/date tree for Eid tree :-) and using dates or other ornament to decorate it, instead of pine tree. And honestly, I never see pine trees in Jerusalem or any area around it, because it's desert ! I don't know where the pine...

alkhansa Just answer them with a short and business-like manners. If they keep on insisting, I usually just cut the conversation. I don't like people who are insisting when I already explained that they have the wrong number.
