Muzna has invited me to join Hakaya. I will be publishing stories once a week on Saturdays.
I am very happy and nervous to share my stories. I am looking forward to your comments and opinion. Fianlly, Thank you Muzna, 3anjad, for giving me a chance to touch people somehow.
Here is the first one. It is a riddle. So try to guess...
20 clues for a Riddle: Who am I?
Like the Pyramids, I was made by special Men who defied nature’s ability to create beauty & volume.
I am an Engineering Concept that deserves to be considered along the New Wonders of the World. Vote for me on the Internet, not for Jeita Grotto.
Like the Arabian Nights, I am this magical place where everything is there.
I was not born out of Human Imagination, but rather Human hands, feet, mouth, & other elements… I am reality beyond Fiction.
I am the biggest Box of lost & found ever created.
I am the widest holder of secrets of cities & people.
I am a non-virtual Google search engine box.
I am the tallest History book.
I am a reference to Urban Anthropology.
I am a hill that doesn’t stop to grow.
I don’t need Tectonic activity from below.
I jazz up from the Sky.
And I am still going up high, until it snows
I will be the first Ski Slope that drops directly into the sea.
I don’t smell, I am organic.
I am a political mountain.
I am a mirror, a reflection of society.
I am a material manifestation of the Lebanese tribal constitution.
I was born in 1975. I was beefed up in 1982. I grew after the Taef accords. I am still spreading into the sea after the Doha accords.
I am the Trash Mountain of Sidon and I am 100% “Made in Lebanon ”.

Very nice Abdul, I love riddles, and it is nicely written. I thought I guessed it especially when it says "drops directly into the sea", then I got lost at the end when you actually mentioned what I thought it is "mkab saida"! I still feel this is it :), will wait for the other guesses though! salamat, rouba dabbagh
Mabruuuuk!!!
