Life Inside China's Total Surveillance State

Saint George and the Dragon is a concept we will have to remember when dealing with over ambitious and "inhuman" use of the new surveillance technology. I painted this painting in my twenties after reading a story written by Ray Bradbery , i think it was called "The Thing In The Jar" .... and it came out of my subconscious because i didn't know where this painting was going ..... i liked the colours but i didnt like the painting because it was too much with the (cyclopse) eye .... then in 2018 i was struck by the affinity of this image with what surveillance was doing to our lives .....
Where is Saint George in the picture ? He simply isn't there .... can any thing save us from this development ? The region of the Uigors certainly needs to be defended from the plan to use all it's rescources for the benefit of everyone else but the people who have lived there for centuries .... it is similar to the Palestinian story, when that story happens once then the road is open and it happens again and again ...... at least the jewish nation had a good reason for creating Israeal because they were fleeing.from a recent experience .... but what is happening to the Uigors cannot be justified and is unacceptable.

Living Art As A Work in Progress

There was my favorite song by The Style Council on at the caffe, it was haunting because i had listened to it a lot during my years at university, in Florence, and i listened to it in Tehran while i was looking after my mother. It was so romantic and expressed nostalgic feelings. I looked out of the window while sipping at my coffee and indulged in looking out onto the busy street from the comfort of my armchair .... on this rainy day i was in Paris and a dream i had, had come true...... " Empty hours Spent combing the street In daytime showers They've become my beat; As I walk from cafe to bar I wish I knew where you are; Because you've clouded my mind And now I'm all out of time Empty skies say try to forget Better advice is to have no regrets; As I tread the boulevard floor Will I see once more; Because you've clouded my mind 'Till then I'm biding my time I'm only sad in a natural way And I enjoy sometimes feeling ...

My mother's family life in Banglore as children (1930's onwards .... and before the Partitian

Life and opinions of Jahan Namazie/Azim Ali .... written in the summer of 2018 They had this theory that children being small didn't need much food. The choicest food was given to the men, as they were the bread winners so they needed to eat well. The dastarkhan was laid with all the best dishes. The men were served first while the women and children waited patiently till the men finished eating and the leftovers the women and rest of the family ate. Lucky for us we did not practice this in our house. My mother believed men and women were equal and deserved the same opportunities. She made my brothers do house work as well as the girls which was shocking as men had to be waited hand and foot. Men never went into the kitchen or took care of the children. My father had broken the rules, he did the cooking and took care of the children. Every one made fun of him, but he had an excuse as my mother was disabled due to her arthritis and co...
