This is a snippet of the description of Mecca Mall on wikipedia.org!
“Food court
Almost all of the food court area is reserved for families only. The mall management defines families as any group of people that includes at least one woman. A man (or men) sitting on a table in the family section will get accosted by security and asked to leave despite having paid for their meal. This is applicable even if the handful of tables men are allowed to use are all occupied. The mall management justifies this by claiming that young men can’t be trusted to behave themselves around women, and are assumed to be ill-intentioned by default if sitting on a table by themselves or with other men. Moreover based on the same policy, on certain days of the week (particularly on holidays) mall security will prevent male(s) unaccompanied by a woman from even entering the mall.“

It’s obvious for anyone that Her Majesty Queen Rania Al-Abdullah is representing the best side of the Arabs to the whole world. She has all aspects of the best first woman globally.
I had no doubts after seeing how Her Majesty is helping people especially the youth in our country that she can do something for someone who’s talented as I can describe myself. I have tried every way to reach her but I thought of the complicated ways while it was much easier than I have ever thought.

It’s rarely happens with me to go to the cinema to watch an Arabic movie unless the actor is Adel Emam. This time my friends were heading to watch an Arabic movie called Al-Jazira and offered me to join them, the only thing that I knew about it that Ahmad Al Saqa is the star of the movie; He’s a good actor but still in our Arab world the budgets are not enough to produce a good action movie. Although I was like go with the flow.
This story is two months old, I’m too late to mention it now, but the blog is online since few days only.
It was the last day of Ramdan when everything was almost ready at one of Amman’s fast food restaurants to host the 50 orphans who were coming to have their “Iftar” as my guests. They arrived late because of the driver who thought that it was planned at another branch of that restaurant. They got out of the bus, their teacher told me that there is more than 50; I said absolutely I have no problem.
It was a normal day when I was checking my email; there was a weird subject of a message sent from a friend of mine. It was in Arabic and, the translation is “Akhtaboot – The Unemployment Eater”. I opened the email; it was a snapshot of the homepage of a website with an article that was written in Arabic. As a computer and internet addict, I didn’t bother to read the article. Directly went to the address of that website and here I started.
When I was driving on my way from my office at Queen Nour Street (one of the most active streets in Amman that links the forth circle and Al-Dakhleyeh circle), I saw something that happens once daily if not more on that street. Someone who is a VIP (as if) is on his way to somewhere and he was passing that street! Suddenly I heard someone shouting from my left side, my left window was half opened, “Hey, Nissan… 3al yamin 3al yamin”! Yeah, we are in a civilized city where people call each others in such way, we can’t forget the car horns too.
