Thanks for th...I like the beautiful bright colors. Thanks for the link too.<BR/><BR/>You look very nice in the hat. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments. Interesting to know that there are so many similarities between here and there (how the roads are dug up, how the holes in the ground are dealt with). I wonder if it is a "developing/underdeveloped country" thing or a cultural thing. Have you read "Orientalism" by Dr Edward Said? In it he quotes various people from the British colonial days who voice their views/opinions about people in Egypt and India. I was surprised to see there are so many similarities between Egypt and India... Even at that time (over 150 years ago) they comment about the way roads were built in Egypt (not about holes in the road, but rather just the fact that they are not straight). The book is much more than about roads, and Dr Said argues in it that Arabs and their culture have not been depicted properly (by the so-called European scholars). If I ever get a chance, I might quote from that book in one of my posts. It is a difficult read for me and I have not quite finished the book, but these parts jumped out at me.Hyderabad Daily Photohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16791170832822784854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924670542270721219.post-55394288651151658502007-11-08T06:47:00.000+10:002007-11-08T06:47:00.000+10:00Beautiful.PodHatYouand the fact you are staying in...Beautiful.<BR/>Pod<BR/>Hat<BR/>You<BR/><BR/>and the fact you are staying in blog land when you can....<BR/><BR/>big smiley pod-head over in the UK.. :O)Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924670542270721219.post-46140307511927170922007-11-08T06:36:00.000+10:002007-11-08T06:36:00.000+10:00Pretty lady wearing a beautiful hat.
