Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived.

Brilliantness
Researching Islamic banking at work led me via the wonderous ways of the internets to the above cover of a-rab magazine. You can read the articles and see some of the other awesome art work here. The Intifida U.S.A t-shirts are pretty awesome too.
Islamic finance! What ho! I've a suspicion that it will all end in tears, though. Just like this whole credit crunch. There's only a handful of experts versed both in sharia and finance, and they are on the accreditation panels of pretty much all the investment houses. A clear conflict of interest, no? Especially if they also join the ranks of advisors to ratings companies? The more time I spend in the financial industry, the more I love it!

Such a *cool* punk picture.
ReplyDeleteof course it's a Banksy poster. I was wondering why it looked so familiar.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I did not know of Banksy before I followed the link from the site. I am wiser now. And his art is *brilliant*

ReplyDeleteYou didn't know of Banksy? And you have traipsed around London. Tsk.
ReplyDelete??!: have you considered the possibility that szerelem could be Banksy? After all, no one has seen him (except one reporter....)
ReplyDeletehmmm...have you ever considered the idea that I could be Banksy? After all, no one has seen him (except one reporter...)
ReplyDelete??!: I did briefly entertain the idea.
