Refined sugar

Why did she always like people who were into 'Che' and song, left and liberal
and yet land up marrying the ones Ammi/Abbu picked from the home village?

She sat mincing her coffee cup and eating the raw brown sugar which stuck to her finger tips, as she browsed the morning, slurping down the coffee.

When does she begin to understand the raw brown sugar from the cane variety?
When does the actual industrial revolution begin and the old one end?
When does one become a Renaissance and realise it was all from the Moors of Spain anyways?
When does one stop becoming a colony?
and turn into the developing world..
When does India become Pakistan - and the ex-jewel in the crown, while her queen/(Noor) lies in England's smoggy old towns.
When do the taken become the takers?
Why does the World bank give out loans to the world's ex-richest country?(Bangladesh)..
Why do I write this blog in English and not Farsi..?

Gar Firdaus, ba ru e zameen ast..
