The Pashtunwali

Meet Mohammad Gulab. For days, Gulab and the other villagers protected an injured Navy Seal Marcus Luttrell from the notorious Taliban militants—even in the face death threats. They considered it their duty under Pashtunwali, a 2000 year old tribal honor code requiring a tribe to undertake the responsibility of safeguarding an individual against his enemies and protecting him at all costs. Saving Luttrell was an extraordinary act of courage, and it destroyed Gulab's life. 

The Taliban put him on a kill list, so he couldn't return to his village.

Balai Seni Negara's Treasures

after weeks of lecturing and exposing my students to various masterpieces of the Western paintings, sculptures and other notable artefacts, it's time for me to introduce them our nation's wealth and masterpieces which i deem noteworthy. Q : how i evaluate a work of art to be noteworthy? A : it must stand through the test of time, requires full attention and forget all the pretentious glorified curatorial writings. The image produced must show evidence of thoughts, thoughtful strokes and skills - in terms of composition, mastery of the colors and must be one that control the gallery space. ( to be honest, i cant appreciate digital paintings as it is missing the most vital elements - that is texture and the evident of the strokes. ) example - Michaelangelo's Pieta and Monet's Waterlilies. What is brilliant is, i brought them to National Visual Arts Gallery, where they got a chance to meet up my old dean/sifu/friend/mentor/adopted guardian angel/humanist - Naji...

Before i begin, this writing will touch on an individual goes by the name of  Syed Ahmad Jamal ( our National Laureate ) who passed away on 2011 and DBKL - stands for Kuala Lumpur Municipal Council. My heart dropped when Syed Ahmad Jamal public sculpture entitled Puncak Purnama ( Lunar Peaks, 1986 ) was destroyed by the local KL municipal council DBKL few days back. DBKL stands for Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur - actually is quite notorious for a list of bad PR moves by cutting off trees, blocking the Pertiwi Soup Kitchen ( which been feeding the homeless ), their zealous traffic summons - but seriously they broke the camel's back by destroying the modernist, geometrical - clean cut sculpture. The Battle of Non Permission This sculpture was highlighted in  2010 as "someone" decided to pimp it up, changing it's appearance without Syed Ahmad Jamal's permission.This is how it looks like.........

The Reward of Silence and Contemplation

while films getting louder and bolder with outrageous CGI in order to make numb our senses, Wim Wenders gave us a masterclass on contemplation, contentment, structure and commitment. Perfect Days is a quiet film, anchored masterfully by Kōji Hashimoto.     With our local teledrama, the producers here are addicted with glorifying empty material wealth, the plot will focus entirely on love and conflict, against the backdrop consists of out of reach relatives of T20, unrealistic furniture showroom, the drama need 50 episodes ensure the protagonist reach into the very end of the tunnel. Dont worry, any single episode will take away all your precious IQ. Perfect Days was shot only for 17 days, the screenplay took only 3 weeks, Wim Wenders goes zen and full analogue mode in giving us a space to glimpse of a toilet worker named Hirayama. Toilet worker ok, not a Yakuza or a retired assassin.   Those forgettable quaint moments, reflections and observations is the main highl...
