طلال فيصل.. التجربة الألمانية
Talal Faisal- The German experience(1) 2006
Another poet, holding his book in his hand "The angels don't watch porn" , It seems he is one of these guys who write something like "There are sweet things, but in reality it there are not" and they repeat in deep way to convince us of the importance of what they have written.
I met him in "Aldoustor" weekly newspaper , "Talal" is a doctor or that he what he is supposed to be, The guy is beloved by all of his friends in the newspaper, even the people who hate him they hold this hate because he behaves like a visitor in journals world.
I did not follow what he has published, after one year since I met him I asked him about his writing as curiosity, but he was not excited to show me his work, The possibilities that he was just a half writer were high.
During my daily trip to home using the "Micro bus" I read to him for fun and to kill my time, It was a surprise , "Talal" is writing well.

I believe that work is an organized way to waste our life time, I have never trust people who wake up at 7 am in the morning, but "Talal" was an exception , he told me :
"Yesterday, I read two lectures, watched Iranian movie, Poland movie, and I read a half novel of Gabriel Garcia, Do you think that was enough?"
There is a roamer that "Talal" is a weird person, his age is 25 years old, he translated from French and English to Arabic while studying Italian and Russian, He is my friend , but I don't blame them for calling him weird, To be honest, he is weird.
He graduated from medicine school and joined the literature and philosophy department, for three years in raw, he was number one student, I asked him about the benefit of what he is doing? he answered me in a simple way " I love knowledge" .
Amid the final exams , Talal completed his first novel and a collection of short stories and a long series of writing in "Aldoustor" newspaper, and translated three novels.
His non-profit/free translation for novels and news interviews gave him the chance to travel to Europe, US and made a wide and variety relations, After that he got a scholarship in Germany to continue his study in Psychology, now he is living in a small quite village between Addicts to help themز
It sounds like a logical end for a human who loves knowledge.

In one of his first trips , he picked a drink from the supermarket, he recognized that there was "6%" written on there, he had doubts it has alcohol, and he was in Swede at that time.
He asked a man there "in English"
What is written here ?
It says that we dont like Arabs and Muslims.
Your feelings are clear, I mean the 6% , what is this 6% percent ?
It says that the percentage of people who dont lie Arab and Muslims is 6% only, The rest know they are dangerous and they hate them.
Thanks for the explanation
You welcome my friend.

"Talal" does not pay attention for your interests, but he called me when he was in Germany and asked :
-Did Mubark pas away ?
-Go and read a book "Talal"
-Silly, That is what I am doing right now, I am reading "Saqat Alzened" , but my mam and sisters pulled me out from my beautiful world to remind me of your bullshit life.
- I dis-confirm the news, Mubark is still alive
He asked me about Egypt , I told him what is going between Muslims brotherhood, Salafis and Military
But he turned around and said "Every time I ask someone about Egypt , he tells me same story, I am asking about prices, traffic and transportation"

He said "I am terrible, The ask me regularly about what is going on in Egypt and I don understand , What is going on there "?
I answered "People kill each others"
He asked back "Is that an answer that can satisfy anyone"?
His German friend asked him " There is tension and violence between people in the streets , Why is that?" He tried to give an example when Hitler was in charge, but she smile and said " But Hitler killed other people not his people"
(6) .2013
We talked about Egypt m indeed we are talking about violence and injustice against someone , this caught "Talal" attention , so he said:
" Injustice !! This is one of the rarely used in Germany , There are many troubles in Germany, I am feeling like a stranger and not welcomed, The language, and the culture are gaps but not injustice, even in the exam that I have failed in when I reached here it was because I did not study hard and there was no enough time , but it was not injustice"

In Germany, "Talal" reads more than them, Knows more than them, Speaks languages more than them, but the problem he is not one of them.
"Talal" who is not 30's yet speak German fluently now, but he talked about his suffering saying " Talking/Discussing things with people is kind of nothingness " , he explained his idea " I have a friend near by, she has been talking about the Pizza that she want to order with her friend for 20 minutes, What is the Pizza size ? and there is a patient today who had a nervous breakdown because he cannot drive anymore , These people will never go to heaven"
Silence, " I feel like a stranger" .

He said to me " Although I believe you are silly , but I believe that you have a great talent , and you are supposed to be billionaire my friend"
He said "My talent " , and that makes me happy because it came from him, I always believe that my work hard friend will survive forever and there will be nothing of me after I pass away except some articles about things happen in the past.
I replied happily "To immortality and what is after, To immortality and what is after"
He replied :"You don't take it seriously, The world of (simsim/fantasy world) is what makes staying where your are"
I don't know if "Talal" will stay in Germany or will move to Canada as he sometimes say, or may be he will come back to Egypt, I am not sure if he will be a doctor or a novelist ? but I am sure he will succeed.
