About the Book

 

Our lives full of sad nesses…full of problems…full of difficult moments…full of tax payments…and the question is: -

WHAT CAN WE DO?

"ARANGLISH - BOOK" Born after a heart attack when I was 32 years old. Some Arab Funny stories "in English" could be real stories with real situations in different Places but with peppers and salt.

My heroes are Zakoot and his wife Zanooba and their 13 kids and one daughter that's where the Double Z comes from.

Their names have no meanings…and what they were doing is something unique, funny in some how, could be in anyplace in anytime…some stories could be similar to some activities for some people we might meet or know.

Some of these stories could effect some people in way or another…when they read it, they would say...Oh my God...I was doing the same, someday but in a different way…

Trust me my friend there is hundreds or maybe thousands are Zakoot or Zanooba!

Originally, I dreamt of becoming a lawyer while studying in Kuwait and in 1990, after finishing high school, I was accepted to study International Law at the University of Iraq.

However, in August 1990, Iraqi forces invaded Kuwait and changed everything. Not only was my dream of becoming a lawyer fading fast, but due to family sickness and the minor issue of war, my family, and I was forced to go to Jordan, leaving everything, and I mean “EVERYTHING” behind.

After the first Gulf War, I ended my military service and faced another big challenge - finding a job. It wasn't easy. I had no experience, no career and little prospects, but I knew I had to do something, anything, to earn some money to survive, so I decided for a complete Change in direction and become a professional painter…. Painting large VIP’s houses and high point's painter and then aircraft painter.

I am highly self motivated individual, and I love writing.

I have faced a number of challenges in my life such as family illness, war and the 2004 Thailand Tsunami.

The worst of all thus challenges when I was 32 years old when I suffered a heart attack, paralyzed for 6 days, through these days I taste the death, the heart attack brought on from stress not by reason of anything else. When I came too I realized that death is always closer than we expect. For me, the heart attack perversely was a wake up call. Through all that experiences I become more passion and successful.
