A picture I took for the top of Alcazar, القصر in Arabic, from the Islamic period in Seville, Spain. Notice the Islamic turned Christian art.

My day in Ramadan

Ramadan Mubarak everyone! Ramadan started on Monday and it’s the best month of the year for me.

  • 8:30: Wake up. Later than usual.
  • 17:30: Wrap up work.
  • 18:00: Break the fast with a small portion. That is a couple of dates, full glass of [warm] water, yoghurt/cottage cheese with olive oil and walnut. I take supplements after that: Omega 3 pill, D3 supplements, Glucosamine (for the knee)
  • 19:00: Go for a run or Gym for an hour.
  • 21:30: Eat my main portion.
  • 11:00: Pray Taraweeh and read the Quran.
  • 12:00: Have Suhoor with couple of fruits + yoghurt.
  • 12:30: Sleep.

Something I’m remembering from the past

I can’t ever repay my mother and my father.

Something I succeeded at recently

Playing to an engineer strengths not to his/her weaknesses.

People I look up to

  • Nassim Taleb, NNT
  • David Hansson, DHH
  • Andrew Huberman
  • Tim Ferriss
  • A real Arab literate. Still searching.

What I’m reading?

All books. All digitally for now. Following a rating scale without a 6:

  • Guns, Germs and Steel. Rating so far: 8. Though, I’ve heard terrible rating on this from Dominic Sandbrook from “The Rest is History” podcast.
  • A Human Action, Mises. Rating so far: 8
  • The Spirit of the Laws, Montesquieu. Rating so far: 6

Say thanks for 1 person.

People who I built my first startup Almeta and later Alphazed with. Thanks all. You’re absolute champs.

People I love

People who make me laugh when I’m crying.

Salam, peace.
