In New York

Posted on January 25, 2010 | 5 Comments
In the snow covered streets of New York
In the glass walls of Manhattan’s skyscrapers
In the ceiling of my 1st Avenue apartment
In the faces of everyday random strangers
I see you
 
In the loud cheers of the Knicks fans
In the quiet whisper of couples in Central Park
In the indistinct sounds of casual conversations
In the silence of my lonely room after dark
I hear you
 
In the freezing cold of the night
In the warmth of an unexpected sunny day
In the excitement of mothers with their newborns
In the accidental touch of strangers passing my way
I feel you
 
In the heartache I feel seeing happy couples
In the solitude I feel wandering the neighbourhood
In the only joy I feel when I talk to you late at night
Without you, nothing tastes, sounds or looks as good
I miss you

NYC

Posted on January 10, 2010 | 2 Comments

Well this is just a quick personal update so you don’t think I have completely vanished.

I’m currently in NYC. Yes, New York City doing an elective in Ambulatory Pediatrics in Weill Cornell Medical College. Its NY-Presbyterian Hospital is ranked one of the top 5 hospitals in USA in both adult and children’s healthcare services.

I’m having a good time in the hospital but I guess I’ll update you on my entire experience once I come back home to Jeddah in February.

It’s freezing cold here and I guess we’re just not used to this weather. It’s seriously limiting my will and desire to enjoy the city after work!

I’m missing my wifie, my family and many loved ones too. It’s not that easy being away and alone in a strange city. Inspirational? Sure. Many poems and stories are unfolding here.

Anyway, I guess I’ll see you around!

A late HAPPY NEW YEAR! May all your dreams and wishes come true.
