I wrote a while a go a post (the previous post to this one) on my family story of a safe kept in my father's room away from everyone. It is not only a forbidden fruit, it is a hidden AND forbidden fruit, so we just have to do a lot of guess work to try to understand what sort of fruit it is and why it is so protective. I hope one day i can be inside the kingdom and experience first hand its culture and its people. Thanks Riten for your support.

There has got to be a solution.Hats off to people like you who dare to get close to the areas and people.This FORBIDDEN TERRITORY expression must not be flogged/praised or looked at with awe.This anology with Forbidden fruit from Bible has done damage.Has someone in Saudi tried to analyse What has this Concept done to their people.Why them.Culture comes from free thinking,freedom of expression.Do they still believe that stray incidents of decadence in the West is ample provocation for the Saudi Home to remain Untouched,unexplored.What curtain is this,not bamboo,not iron,is it the oil sleek around their identity.RITEN KHOSLAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-990210588512944061.post-85130934180691449902012-02-29T03:42:17.761-08:002012-02-29T03:42:17.761-08:00hey Mai, great that you try to suspend the judgmen...hey Mai, great that you try to suspend the judgment.
