This was the first time I heard about Ruud Gullit and van Basten.  
Yesterday at work on my lunch break I took a walk outside and passed a nearby pond. A group had gathered and were trying to save some kid who had fallen in and could not swim. I kept walking as their situation did not concern me. I went back to work before our break was over and saw someone in the prayer room crying and praying out loud: Here I am, O my Lord, Here I am! Labbaik, allahumma, labbaik! I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord! I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord!   
Years ago when I suspected the girl I was seeing was cheating on me I confronted her at a dinner date by asking her questions in rapid succession: Is he better than me? Was it your place or his? Who was there?   
He turns on the animal. It's that time of day.
The lady at my table doesn't want me here. I just want to talk to her. But will she laugh at my accent and make fun of me?   
Yesterday I got out of bed at half past ten and phoned up a friend who's a party animal.   
In one of my previous jobs I had to pick a 3-letter sign-in password. When asked by my boss what I wanted it to be I stated V-O-R and made it sound like I was choosing random letters.
What I sometimes forget is how incredibly unique and astonishing getting into Sharif University is as to me it came with minimal effort.   
I sometimes think and wish I could do something incredibly unique and astonishing. Then I realize I already have right after high school.   
When boarding a plane I just shuffle along with the rest, keep my head down, try not to make eye contact and maybe let out an occasional "Moo."
