The guest of this colloquium is the graceful writer Ali Al-Qasimi, who will not be accommodated by spaces, no matter how wide they are, not neutral, even within limits, and not biased at all. His pure experiences gave him distinguished relationships, and serious reading opened his awareness to areas that it is forbidden to approach, except that by virtue of (scientific specialization) he is fluent in separation. Between the fuse and the crisis, an engineer of letters with a passion, if the doors of the windows shut in his face, and if the windows close their curtains, he releases the imagination to weave the bonds between nature and art, and here is the text of our comradeship with him.
warm hug
• If you were not a human being, which other creature would you choose?
•• Imagination sails here in a strange and unorganized way, although belonging to the nation of humanity is a great and frustrating thing at the same time, the greatness of exclusivity and the frustration of carrying a lot of trusts, but it gives me pleasure to be a hawk that lives in a remote place and is difficult to catch.
• What did culture give you? And what did I take from you?
•• It gave me a different horizon and a way of thinking that exhausts me more than it helps me, and I don't think it took anything from me. Culture is always positive for the wise.
• Does the writer retire, when?
A: Writing is a refuge, a medicine, and a very warm embrace. A writer can get bored, frustrated, inaction, retreat, or stop, but all these actions pass him by temporarily. Retirement – from my point of view – is linked to the continuation of breathing.
The dignity of my mother and the prestige of my father
• How does the writer transcend himself?
•• The writer is in a constant struggle with her, transgression is reckless, and I do not like the reckless or the reckless.
• What does Ramadan mean to you, and what is in popular memory about it?
•• Ramadan is the sheikh of passion and the master of sweetness, and in memory of him and with him an irresistible nostalgia and simplicity that we have come to miss.
What is left of the memories of the first Ramadan, his silence?
•• There are many, many left.. The reverence of my mother and the prestige of my father.
Life goes on
• How did you fast, break your fast, and eat Suhoor in your village?
•• You fast and break your fast with it, and what a beautiful question it was, how was it.. Now the question might be: Is there a village and faces that represent it?.
What is your favorite character in Ramadan?
•• Everyone who contributed to furnishing my memory or formed internal security for me, I love him very much.
What do you read during the month of Ramadan?
•• During Ramadan, I read more, perhaps because life passes and the physical activities that we are attached to during Ramadan diminish and because the work leave intersects – by force – with Ramadan.
Hanin Tash
What is the favorite dish on the table?
•• I do not have a dish for me to disturb the family over preparing it. I am one of those who are melted by this trinity and suffice for them (dates, water, coffee), and after that the next comers are equal.
• A habit that Ramadan helps you to leave?
•• Having coffee in the morning with the first initiation of the sun.
• What TV program are you keen to follow?
•• I haven't been watching TV for years during Ramadan, this year he brought me back to it (Haneen Tash and our soft memory with him).
Who do you invite to breakfast with you?
•• All those I truly love and know, and all those who truly love me that I do not know.
• What do you miss in Ramadan?
•• Family meeting as many as it used to meet several years ago.
Too expensive
What would you like if all people adhered to?
•• Honesty, and to always be with one face, so wearing more than one face is futility and harm.
Which television work is hard to forget?
•• They are all forgotten.. What remains are the memories.
• To whom do you say do not injure my fast?
•• To many.. Although wounds are retribution, forgiveness is more comprehensive and more beautiful.
What is the thing that breaks the fast other than eating and drinking?
•• It reminds me here of a poetic verse by the dear poet Ali Al-Sabaan when he says:
Too much money with you, teach me ••• Fast and break your fast with your voice
And honestly, there are countless things that break the fast, at least on the level of feeling, but they pass and we keep our fast.
I and the rash
Why do the lyrics of songs and soap operas often have repetition?
•• When poverty of ideas, low taste, and poor market combine, everything occurs from the headache of repetition to the pain of insignificance.
What do you think of the historical works in Ramadan?
•• I do not watch it.. History for me is reading, and with reading there are questions and questions.
• How do you deal with the rash?
•• According to the time of his arrival: Sometimes he encounters sleep, another with exercise, and a third with a “face / voice” that you are familiar with and love.
• Where do you go in the evening of Ramadan?
A: There is no stability in the evening schedule. When I am under the guidance of the family, I do not have a quick answer because I am “managed.” As for the normal situation, I deal with every evening with what helps me with my time, my mood, and my enthusiasm, given that I am a “manager.”
