My favorite project this year was the self portraits. I liked them because I was able to express and experiment with the different art styles we worked with in my whole art career. Also there were five different portraits so we were able to do five different projects.

I learned all of this stuff about the human body and yet it has all been happening inside of me this whole time. I also learned that it is harder to teach a class then it is to receive it. 21 kids can try to present all of the human body but we will only talk about half of it. We talked about the bigger stuff in the body, there are tons of other cells in your body.

Cast:

Armant: Lead Anchor (Does not have to memorise, it’s ok)

Gus: James Adams (Does not have to memorise, it’s ok)

Will: Dadi (Should memorise, thanks)

Konrad: Weather man (Does not have to memorise, it’s ok)

Intro: Theme song

Armant: Hello this is Zakariyya Darzi here at Global News. Business has been off the charts. Here in Pakistan we have seen the finest camels on the face of the earth. Oh, James Adams is down at the Sibi fair. Let’s go take a look.

Gus: Hello, I would just like to say that out here we have the finest camels. But by far there is one camel salesmen who trumps them all.

(Cut into interview)

Gus: Hello Mr. Abassi What is it that you do exactly to make your camels so great.

Will: Well you know it’s hard to train camels. But I don’t think of my camels as camels I think of my camels as family.

Gus: I have heard that you have been known to SLAP your daughter. Is this true

Will: Yes it is true. The reason I slap my daughter is because you need to teach discipline in some way. And I feel this way works just fine.

Gus: I was wondering why did you chose to become a camel farmer when you could have chosen any job?

Will: Well my father was part of the Nawabs Camel Corps and so I guess I always had a connection with camels and formed an unbreakable bond.

Gus: Thanks. Now back to Konrad

(cut back to Konrad)

Konrad: Hello, my name is Talib Omar and there is a humongous storm about to hit the Cholistan Desert. We advise staying in your huts and houses and not going outside at all costs. This is also is affecting businesses all around the desert. This is going to be a tough year for the camel business. All of the camels at the sibi fair or traveling back from the sibi fair will be decimated. Back to you Zakariyya Darzi.

(Cut to Armant)

Armant: Well that’s all for today folks thanks for listening and come back tomorrow for another report on this sand storm.

Business in the Middle east

Oct. 3, 1983

What’s the first thing that you think of when you think of business? You probably just thought about a car salesman or a man in a suit. In the Middle East business is a whole different market. Instead of people in fancy suits, camels are the biggest attraction in this desert. They don’t have any cars so (other than walking) camels are the main way of transportation. We went down to the 1983 sibi fair and searched far and wide for the finest camels. There are thousands of camels in the sibi fair but one stood out the most. His name was Gulaband. Many a man tried and tried to haggle with Mr. Abbasi for Guluband but he is such an amazing camel that nat a single person has given a high enough price. Because Mr. Abbasi has so many high quality camels many people can’t afford his camels, so they visit a man by the name of Muhammad Shahzada who also has high quality camels just not quite the same as Mr. Abbasi.

Another attraction to the Middle Eastern people is the clothing. Although these clothes do not come in mainstream brands there are many high quality companies out there. The street venders and store keepers make a lot of money with these items because all you need to make them is a loom and some yarn. It’s sort of like shoes. Everybody has at least a pair. It is also sacrilegious not to wear them.cover your head so the the vendors know that there will always be buyers.
This concludes this column of “Business in the Middle East.” If you found this article interesting then tune in next week for more. Thanks and remember to buy your Chadrs.

I am going to make a bridge out of the foam and then wrap it around the map.

(Shabanu’s father is a strong man with broad shoulders and very distinct thoughts on right from wrong).

I am furious with my with my daughter Shabanu. In a couple of days I will go to sibi and I am just furious. If only Shabanu would learn how to control herself. Ever since Shabanu was little she has always been quite the rebel. She is so attached to the camels I fear that she will be upset to let them go. We need the money for the rest of the year. We have the best camels and people always try to get them for the lowest prices. If Shabanu is to become a housewife she going to need to know some basic responsibility. This keeps on coming up over and over again with my daughter. She doesn’t know how to tell choice from her job.

Dear Diary ito stand quietly and back away from the fire.”Shabanu left for the sibi fair a couple days ago. Shabanu is going there to raise money for the family and my wedding. Here its very hard. Me and Mama are taking over Dadi’s and Shabanu’s chores. I knew Shabanu did a lot of work but I didn’t know it would be this hard. I have dealt with camels before. Infact I done a lot of work with camels. I birthed a couple of camels. But my chores on top of Shabanu’s is a lot of work. I am glad I’m getting this time to write. I have been so busy. Anyway we have tons of new camels. I can’t wait to see Shabanu again. She will be so happy to see our whole new family of camels.

This was one of the first Haikus that I have done this year. I made it with Miles Friedmen and Freddie Fine. I suggested we do a poem about breaking phones because I break and or lose mine a lot. Also whenever you watch your phone going down the stairs its almost like watching your friend get smashed and beat of by the ground. That’s why this poem is really personal for me. Haikus are not actually that hard to make. They consist of three rules, five syllables on the top, seven syllables in the middle and five on the bottom. After those three rules you can do anything you want. This was not that hard to do because as long as you have a main idea its easy to make a haiku. The one thing that was very challenging was rephrasing all of my words to sound better.
