Bad Eye



Today, I have come across a scene that would have been possible in only very few places on earth, fortunately or unfortunately including Istanbul.

A woman at her 40's is walking on one of the main shopping streets of Istanbul with her daughter. Very conservative in her moves, the mother looks quite poor and is wearing an old fashioned hijab. The uncovered daughter walking beneath her mother is throwing wannabe sexy smiles around; she is at most at her 15. The big inscription on her tight t-shirt says: "NO SEX CAUSES BAD EYE".


The incident looked so weird that I questioned whether or not it could have been that long since the last time I got laid. Or whether or not Istanbul is the bad eye itself.

ooh, it's ages away. i won't remember when was the last time i had sex. but just before the time when my sight became too blurry to watch tv or read papers, there was war in yugoslavia, some chap named bill clinton was the us president and worstly some stupid band called oasis was quite popular.

now, i'm in complete darkness and it feels good. i think i'm understanding the logic behind no-sex vow now.
