For a change I have more words to put down, and fewer ideas to play with; so when I sent out a call to my Twitter folk to throw me a line, and give me a subject to blog about, an interesting character popped up and said “ME!”.
No really -- she said “write about me!“…
Since I don’t know how to say no, I ofcourse said -- “It’s on!”
Aiysha and I connected on Twitter a few months ago via two awesome Middle East tweeties (Humera and Dotty); infact, our subject of connection was mainly long distance running. Aiysha is a resident of… umm…. well, with the amount of traveling she does, a global resident really, but originally from The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. While she hung out in Kuwait city, I was influenced by her tweets on her daily 15k run in the crazy heat and dusty surroundings; as a result, I began my attempts at running 5k (for a start) -- and boy was it a great idea!
Now, hailing from a conservative country, Aiysha seems to be very liberal and outspoken. I have never met her personally, however browsing through the love child which she has produced with AgentWhiskers , they have some interesting views of society in KSA. Ofcourse, their views are their own, and not of a grander society. Or are they?
One of the most interesting things about Aiysha is that she is a technology freak! Some would go to the extent of calling her as a geek. The woman is also a compulsive online shopper…. she buys EVERYTHING online -- like EVERYTHING! Dude -- even I go to the shops to buy stuff! She is married to her iPhone… infact, the iPhone survived a drowning in the pool, and also goes with her during her 15k wanders -- now that’s what you call love! This is what she caught a few days ago while out on a run.
Ofcourse Aiysha, Geeks are so 2008, and Nerds are the way to go as we move into the new decade. Seriously, switch over to a crackberry already!
You cannot talk about Aiysha, and not mention deserts… or food for that instance. Since I promised you cake in the post… I shall deliver you cake! I get my desert ideas from ADigitalNomad, and she baked this a couple of days ago -- it looks OZUM!
You have to admire anyone who believes in keeping healthy, and working out so that they can enjoy every type of food; although I haven’t baked it (as yet)… this one goes out to you! 
As little as I know about you, you seem to have the right sort of energy to live life in the best way possible! I’ll leave you with this track from Outlandish -- it’s a song which I very much like, and has your name written all over it…. enjoy!

Yay! I love that you actually made a post for me
Thank you!
I’m thinking you might be a bad influence!
You know I did consider switching to BlackBerry but I just couldn’t leave my iPhone :S I should get props for thinking about it.
After reading the post I really want cake, you always manage to make me crave sweets
Thank you for the song, I love Outlandish (especially this track since it does involve my name)
Honestly, you are a sweetheart for writing the post.
Thank you so much
