Thomas Gorguissian Discusses His Book "It's the Mashrabiya of My Life... I Am the Lover and the Beloved"
Nada Mustafa At the Houssaper Armenian Cultural Association in Cairo, a literary evening was held to discuss the book "It's the Mashrabiya of My Life… I Am the Lover and the Beloved" by writer and journalist Thomas Gorguissian. The event drew a notable audience of intellectuals, writers, and artists, reflecting the cultural richness that defines the author's life and work. Among the distinguished attendees were Dr. Mohamed Aboul Ghar, writers Radwa Al-Aswad, Sonia Thomas, Fatema El Boudy, and Magda Shorba; journalist Sayed Mahmoud; Nancy Habib, Head of Publishing at Al Shorouk Publishing House; historian Mohamed Refaat Al-Imam; and jazz artist Yehya Khalil. The session was moderated by acclaimed poet Zein El Abedein Fouad. Fouad opened the discussion by reflecting on the symbolism of the book's title. 'The mashrabiya has many eyes, and through them, we focus on different aspects. The title suggests a layered, multifaceted life. Thomas's journey, from growing up in Shubra, his Armenian heritage, his studies in pharmacy, and his cultural contributions, embodies at least four intersecting cultures: Armenian, Egyptian, Arab, and later, American," he said. Gorguissian expressed deep gratitude to Dr. Aboul Ghar, crediting him with playing a vital role in the birth of the book. 'The mashrabiya represents both the lover and the beloved. Sometimes, I find myself being both,' he added. He elaborated that the book delves into his family's story and the broader Armenian diaspora experience. 'My mother created a little Armenia in our apartment in Shubra. The book is a mosaic of my life, thoughts, dreams, and tales woven into a single narrative," Gorguissian noted. "It's the Mashrabiya of My Life… I Am the Lover and the Beloved" offers readers a deeply personal look into Gorguissian's journey, one that spans continents, cultures, and decades of journalistic and humanistic experiences. Through vivid storytelling and compelling portraits of influential figures, the book captures a rare and heartfelt narrative of a life shaped by cultural richness and exile. Ultimately, the book invites reflection on identity, belonging, and the intricate beauty of a life lived through the lens of multiple worlds. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence"

Blackpink Send Fans Into Frenzy with Mysterious "Pink Area" Map
Yara Sameh Blackpink sent fans into a frenzy after the K-pop girl group unveiled a new interactive website that appears to set up their upcoming era. In a tweet on Tuesday, the group wrote, 'Welcome to PINK AREA ,' along with a photo of a cartoonish map of Seoul. The map featured a series of popular tourist spots, including Goyang Sports complex, Banpo Bridge, Namsan Seoul Tower, and Sevit Island, all marked as PINK AREA, along with the dates July 4-6. Two of the sites were marked with an all-caps sign that read DO NOT JUMP, with the 'Not' crossed out in pink spray paint over the YG building and the Shinsegae department store. At press time, it was unclear what the message referred to. The site's name picks up on the group's iconic 'BLACKPINK in your area' catchphrase and followed up on last week's first group picture together in months. In a since-expired Instagram Stories post that showed Rosé, Lisa, Jennie, and Jisoo were seen holding their hands together to create the shape of a four-leaf clover, accompanied by a clover emoji. BLINKS shared the snap on their socials in an attempt to decode its meaning, with many speculating that it was a hint about the title of an upcoming song or project. Back in May, Lisa revealed that the group had already been in the studio working on new songs. The quartet's most recent album was 2022's sophomore LP "Born Pink," which was followed by solo albums and singles from all the band. In the meantime, Blackpink are gearing up to launch their Deadline world tour, which is slated to kick off at South Korea's Goyang Stadium with shows on Saturday (July 5) and Sunday (July 6), leading to further speculation that the sites on the interactive map are clues about events timed to coincide with the tour kick-off. Afterwards, the quartet will head to North America for a show in Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, and New York. They will then play stadiums across Europe in August and return for a run of Asian dates in October and November, winding down on November 30 with the second of two shows at Singapore National Stadium. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence"
