Hey All,
Check out my first (and hopefully one of many to come) article in my “Mind’s Eye” column in Sail Magazine.
I write about the role of women in our lives, and the importance of each role they play.

It has taken me a long, long time to do it; but I finally have: I have joined Twitter!
My initial reluctance was due to the expected overload of needless information I’d be updated on: “I just woke up”; “Oh no, not enough jam for my sandwich”; etc, etc. SoOoOo, I’m going to attempt to keep it strictly useful, by following the right people, and only updating it usefully.. And yes, I said attempt.
Anyhow, in the spirit of being Twitter’ish – I’ve added two things to the website:
1) The lesser of the two, a link to my twitter on the left hand side under the “Blogroll” heading
2) A tweet update, again on the left hand side, I’ll try and limit this to the 5 latest updates +- a few here or there, depending on how often I actually tweet!
Anyhow, I hope everyone’s doing well – and those of you in Dubai, enjoy the upcoming beautiful weather.. Bye bye humidity, Hellooo The Walk @ JBR
Peace,
Moadh
I found this wonderful talk from 2006 by anthropologist Helen Fisher that I’d thought I’d share:
Helen Fisher Tells Us Why We Love + Cheat
—————
Mini-Bio:
Helen Fisher’s courageous investigations of romantic love — its evolution, its biochemical foundations and its vital importance to human society — are informing and transforming the way we understand ourselves. Fisher describes love as a universal human drive (stronger than the sex drive; stronger than thirst or hunger; stronger perhaps than the will to live), and her many areas of inquiry shed light on timeless human mysteries, like why we choose one partner over another.
Almost unique among scientists, Fisher explores the science of love without losing a sense of romance: Her work frequently invokes poetry, literature and art — along with scientific findings — helping us appreciate our love affair with love itself. In her research, and in books such as Anatomy of Love and 2004′s Why We Love, Fisher looks at questions with real impact on modern life. Her latest research raises serious concerns about the widespread, long-term use of antidepressants, which may undermine our natural process of attachment by tampering with hormone levels in the brain.
It’s official – The Mind’s Eye is now over 1 year old. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that visits, comments, and criticizes my work – it only keeps me going and it only makes me strive to do better and be at my best.
Thank you to my friends and family for getting me started and keeping me going with this little thing of mine
And most of all, a big thanks to mankind for always giving me something to write about haha!
I hope that as visitors to the mind’s eye, i have been able to open your eyes to new thoughts or give you a different take on something you already know – or even serve as a pass-time for you when you’re just that bored at work :P !!
As always, be well, take care, and keep coming.
Peace – and much love to you all,
Moadh Bukhash
