Let us say thank you to Bakri Abu Bakr and best wishes for 2013

Quote: Yes, that is very true ya Jawahir. culturally we save the thank yous for a certain day, I think this is the source of the famous words إن شا الله يوم شكرك ما يجي



Dear Asma…
Thank you for clarifying the cultural part…

Dear Hadeer…
Thanks you for your response and your kind words… I used the word Barloma as a possible reason for the poor response to this blog in order to feel better after my disappointment as I wanted people to show with me a deserved appreciation to Bakri …now you eliminated this reason... then I will hang on “because English Forum is quite” …Asma added the a cultural part and you added the “kissier talij”…looool ...da kalam da.

Let me comment on these possible reasons:
#1: English Forum is so quite: Makes some sense… may be those “more than a 100 click” are all from outside the board and none of them has a password...
hmmmmm….I can swallow this one :)

#2: The fear of the phrase “kissier talij”: Hahahaaa...Really..!! ??
My understanding is that, this “awkward “phrase is usually used when the complement had been said to someone who does not “necessarily” deserve it with the intention to boost his/her Ego….this reason simply does not apply here because Muhandes Bakri Abu Bakr is a well know person to everyone by his significant contribution to social media and the huge positive impact of sudaneseonline on lives of so many people, add to that he is a humble person who does not need any Ego booster nor want it….So, this is an invalid reason to me… people at least come and say thank you to him and go…!!

#3: Cultural reason save the “thank yous” for specific dayإن شا الله يوم شكرك ما يجي:
It is the worse one...it doesn’t make any sense what so ever.…why in the earth should we wait or hold on mentioning positive facts about a person and the good things they had done to us and all the “thank yous” till they are no longer with us???!!!…culture??!! Why should we follow blindly any part of the culture that doesn’t make sense or can not add to us…why don’t we replace it with something better??!! I think we should do be better than this.

Reason #3 really requires a long debate in the Arabic board when I got chance…and my speed in typing improved…and ready for some fights… :)


Thank you Ladies for allowing me to vent here…and to Bakri…
Thank you for allowing us to say thanks to you and your family.
