| Yalda Hakim |
I like to
bring out two faces which are exceptionally beautiful and can attract any male
from 10-100 years age; they are very successful in their professional
lives…. The most interesting part is: they are children of Islam following
parents. While Amal Alamuddin, Beirut
born, human rights British lawyer occupies a huge
chunk of the discussions on the net today for grabbing the most eligible Hollywood
bachelor in her kitty; Yalda Hakim, an Afghan born Australian broadcaster has made a place
in the hearts of viewers starting from Bangladesh to all along Western
countries via BBC world network.
The idea of
this blog is neither to hurt anybody’s feelings nor to intrude into the
privacy of these two pretty women; but to let the readers know that if some one
who happen to be merely born in Lebanon or Afghanistan need not be tagged with a
specified class or creed. The Bollywood (INDIA) actor, Shahrukh Khan who did a splendid job of
producing a film (shot in USA) “My Name
is Khan”, but “I am not a Terrorist” ;
ironically had to face the wrath of immigration officials at the entry port of
USA simply due to his surname. I am not trying to name a country, a group or
an individual here. To quote my own personal example here in India, I had to cancel my flight
to New Delhi from Hyderabad, where I was to attend the advisory council member meeting of Google
Lunar X-prize; as my name was matching exactly with one of the suspect
of the bomb explosion that had just taken place (in my home city: Hyderabad). Why did I do this.... I was only scared of unmindful frisking and the crazy environment which was prevailing in curbing the terrorism at that time. Whom should I blame.... NONE... these are the bad days we are going through.
Amal Alamuddin:
The news of
George Clooney allegedly getting engaged to Amal Alamuddin has brought a huge
splash in the entire world. What a combination it is; on one side we have the
most charming and sought after bachelor while on the other the lady with a
combination of stunning looks, intelligence and the one who has been
representing none other than Julian Assange and few other very high profile cases.
What all can
I write about AMAL….. just today the Wikipedia page got updated on her, and will continue to be getting done; every
bit of news percolating is read with enormous interest; it is difficult to
guess whether it was Clooney’s enormous following of Hollywood, or the charm of AMAL or it is the amalgamation which is catching the attraction all around the globe. A local news paper has quoted that when Mr. Clooney proposed to AMAL she took it as a joke. A simple google check on her name takes me to
10s and 10s of pages narrating the very recent stories primarily woven around
her engagement to George Clooney and their future plans of getting married in
October-2014. Indeed, I read a dozen posts and cant stop adding here that; both
family members of bride as well as groom are happy to see the couple uniting;
including the dad of AMAL claiming that Mr. Clooney may now be called Mr.
George Alamuddin (on the lighter vein).
Yalda Hakim:
Yalda Hakim has gone through Hollywood film like
sequences in her life, while she was 6-months old (narration);
Today Yalda’s
BBC world coverage reaches millions across the globe, she has been appreciated
not only for her extremely attractive looks but also for asking the probing questions to
the reporters across the globe; who else could do a better job than a foot
soldier of the same field.
Conclusion:
The two
pretty faces after all represent a progressive and hard working women
acheiveing the best in this world of opportunities; can be called as progressive global citizens. I wish and pray that the
world we live will be a great place for every individual. Let there not be any prejudices
about cast, creed, religion, region, color and social status. Let us respect
each other and let there be a peace all around…. AAMEN…
