The Girl from Napoli

nazar.....who told you men dont have orgasms?! you poor thing if you haven`t had one! as for the story of the boyfriend in italy i had asked around from people who knew her and it was true

---

i knew that before i approached her--and if you read the article again you will see i DID ask her out...and she refused...



of course it could have all been a lie but i dont think so...

kuchh na ho tau adaawat hii sahih...

Raw Dust: thanks for the Nabokov suggestion--i will check it out.

what a jerk! lost the battle even before the swords were drawn.

(Al Ghazzali said that it is impossible to describe the pleasures of orgasm to an impotent man....)

Just a technical correction - men do not have orgasm.

Crush - fixation - You expressed it so well.

Italian - these Medterrneans with that wheatish complexion are devastating. They are a bit conservative too.

But why ``for a while at least, I became an infidel, lost in her presence to all else`` . It was completely natural for you. Everyone goes throughs it.

And that story about the boy friend in Italy is probably all bull. You could have at least proposed to her - what is there to lose?

I hope you do not wear a beard - bacauae a beard could be a red rag these days.

then you haven`t read Imam Ghazzali rahmatullah alayhi`s On Breaking the Two Desires (Kitab Qasr al Shahwatayn) of the Ihya Ulum al Din translated brilliantly into English by TJ Winter (now Shaykh Abd al Hakim Murad) published by Islamic Texts Society, Cambridge UK.

Aamir Bhai: walaykum salam, I understand where you are coming from and I appreciate and accept your comments.

Who was the Arab poet btw? Is it Abu Nawas? (BTW if you want to see beauty and Divinity in poetry you must read the Shaykh al Akbar`s Tarjuman al Ashwaq :-))

Farzana--I used religious imagery not for any fear or anything but simply because sometimes looking at or seeing something beautiful can remind you of the Divine ie the Creator in the sense that you say, ``subhan Allah! What beauty Allah has created!``` That`s all.

thanks for the interacts...will reply tomorrow as it is late and i have to get up early tomorrow...

Seeing the Divine reflected in human beauty doesn`t in any way mean the human IS Divine (astaghfirullah) but it is the closest mirror we have till the Next World. If you read commentaries of Layla Majnun etc, Waris Shah`s Heer etc. you will see the scholars have interpreted them in such a manner. NOT that I am giving any such delusions to my own experience: that was just as some one put it already infatuation. My article was trying to describe how I felt hence it was quite emotional. I did try to be honest. Like I said I am very sensitive to human beauty....

[Now, as a rule I never go to house parties (or any other parties) because of religious reasons but when I heard she would be there too I resolved to go.]

why is it that so many people give up what they beleive in or divert from it when the time comes for them to really prove their beleifs in life??

we give up what we have for sumthing we cant get in the long run anyway...

i just dont get it!!!

Asif:
Your favorite writer Nabokov happened to have written something that you might be interested to read. Its a short story - ``Spring in Fialta``. Check it out.

And to those who are voicing out aloud their ridiculous ideas about a ``regular seductress`` i would say as CoolHandLuke did on some other board - ``a very photographic discussion by the interactors``.

Ansari:
i think we should let this article to work with its own set of ``Truths``. That ``mirrors of the divine beauty`` which riled you so much being one.

peace.

Not a thrilling story but still better than the chursee feature-writer`s delirium and grand-mals.

What a sap.

... in bombay parlance this would be described as ....khaaya piya kuch nahiN, glass toRa baara aanay...tsk tsk
iss ashiqi meiN izzat e sadaat bhi gayee...;)
