Bio"What I like (most) of your world is three things: women, perfume and prayer, which is the dearest thing to my eye."
-Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)[Reported by Al-Nasa'i and Ahmad]
'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,' - that is all
Ye know on earth and all ye need to know.
(--Keats, from 'Ode on a Grecian Urn')
I have many personae and many interests (vide: below) but the main ones are reading, writing, poetry, cinema, fine cuisine and beautiful companions and conversation. My favourite writers are Nabokov (Lolita, Ada), Mishima (Spring Snow), Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings), Henry Miller (Tropics) and my favourite poets are Rumi, Iqbal, Ghalib and Faiz Ahmad Faiz, Keats and William Blake. I manage on LJ the following communities:
http://www.livejournal.com/users/fifty_words/ - a place to be creative and write fiction of exactly 50 words. No other conditions!
I also have a LJ devoted to purely Islamic and spiritual matters, http://www.livejournal.com/users/naqshbandi/
