A Peace of the Present! - Marwa Rakha

A Peace of the Present! - Marwa Rakha

Looking back at the emotional roller coaster that has taken most Egyptians for a nauseous 3 year ride, reminiscing on the ship-wrecked hopes and aspirations for a better country for us and for our kids, and thinking of the loss that we have all experienced on one level or the other with the death of all those young ones – the ones who were killed in clashes or the ones whose lives were taken in blind revenge! Looking back at all this heartache is just depressing!

#MontessoriEgypt ممارسات ضد المنطق – منطقي أنا #مونتيسوري_مصر - Marwa Rakha


في الأمثلة اللي ذكرتها فوق دي … كلها بتتعمل تحت ستار مصلحة الطفل لكن في الواقع هي لارضاء الأهل على حساب الرضيع اللي مش قادر ينطق و يعبر عن نفسه! الحبل السري بيتقطع علشان يسهل نقل البيبي من مكان لمكان و من ذراع لذراع! الطفل بيتدعك حموم علشان الأم و الأب و الأقارب ما يقرفوش من المادة البيضاء – الأنتيبايوتك الطبيعي الرباني – اللي بتغطي جسمه. الطفل بيتحط في الحضانة علشان الأم ترتاح و تنام مش علشان  هو يرتاح و ينام! الناس اللي بتتلم في أوضة الأم و جايين علشان هما يفرحوا بالبيبي مش علشان البيبي محتاج دوشتهم! البنت بيتخرم ودنها علشان تلبس الحلق و تفرح امها و جدتها. الولد بيتشوه علشان أهله عايزين كدة مش لأن دا أصلح له في أي حاجة!

Ask Marwa: My husband does not want to have sex after I gave birth - Marwa Rakha


It is not about gaining weight or losing it; it is about who you have become to him! Let me give you a movie quote to help drive my point through! In the movie, Analyze This, Dr. Ben Sobol was asking Paul Vitti why he has affairs and cheats on his wife all the time. The doctor was wondering if Paul did not love his wife enough. Paul explained that his wife is his wife and the other women are the other women!

The definition of “cheating” is not the same in male and female dictionaries! The meaning of cheating also differs from one man to the other and from one woman to another! It is a whole range of things that are viewed differently by both genders and by members of the same gender. Ultimate blind loyalty is not really a human trait! We all “cheat” in our own ways and according to our own code of ethics and personal values. The clash occurs when my type of cheating – the type that I find acceptable – is viewed as a disgrace by my partner and vice versa!

Ask Marwa: How do I win him back? - Marwa Rakha


Once you have answered those questions you need to have an honest talk with yourself and decide if this "rule" is acceptable or not. You need to decide if you could make such a compromise for the sake of a man you have been involved with for two months or not.  I also want you to know that knowing a person as a friend is totally different form dating that person. When you are friends, you do not have to deal with most of the skeletons in the closet; the insecurities, rejection issues, power struggles, and baggage from the past only surface in a relationship.

مروة رخا لمجلة احنا – صبري عليك طال! - Marwa Rakha



"هو أنا اتهببت ليه أصلا؟"
دا سؤال وجودي بيتردد في ذهن أي اتنين متجوزين من زمان أو متجوزين من قريب أو مخطوبين أو متصاحبين أو بيتبادلوا أي نوع من أنواع المشاعر فى أي شكل من أشكال العلاقات العاطفية!
هل الإجابة هى الحب؟
هل هو الاحتياج؟
هل هي لعنة المازوخية؟

بعد  البحث و الفحص و التحليل و التمحيص توصلت إلى نفس الإجابة اللي توصلت لها الست … الست أم كلثوم!

In Search of Freedom! احنا ولاد الكلب الشعب - Marwa Rakha

In Search of Freedom! احنا ولاد الكلب الشعب - Marwa Rakha



احنا ولاد الكلب الشعب!
Hello!
My name is Baheya and I am Egyptian!
Two years have passed since I have revolted against torture, abuse, nepotism, and injustice! Behold me now … do you see my face in detention prisons and military trials? Do you see me at funerals wailing over young martyrs in coffins? Do you hear me scream beyond my gags and chains? Do you hear me every time I say "NO!" in defiance of oppressive regimes and falsified referendums? Did you know that I am still fighting for my rights?
My name is Baheya … and I am Egyptian!

Ask Marwa: Is he with me just for the sex? - Marwa Rakha


Does he just enjoy us being intimate? Is he just a person who loves sex? Or is he taking me for granted and that’s the only reason he’s with me? Please tell me what to do.

MORSI’S EGYPT – SEEN THROUGH THE EYES OF A PESSIMIST! - Marwa Rakha


We have always known that there are dark creatures living in tunnels of their own – regardless of their name – their raison d'etre is women! They wake up in the morning and go to bed every night with one dominant thought: how can we further oppress women? Since July 1st 2012 those creatures crawled into our lives, seeped through our TV screens, and took their seats in the constituent assembly and began writing the Egyptian constitution! Every now and then they would kindly share a draft with the Egyptian people! They seem to be consumed with desire! Those dark lustful creatures have fantasies that would put The Hugh Hefner to shame!

Ask Marwa: Dating someone who is Suicidal - Marwa Rakha


Dalida's first suicide attempt was in 1967 when her fiancé shot himself in the head and died. At least five of her close friends and lovers ended their lives! Then in 1985 she spoke of suicide again on a TV show, and in 1987 Dalida took her own life. Her suicide note said that life has become too unbearable for her and asked people to forgive her!
