Sigh..

Sigh...

Sigh....

i shed quiet tears of grief

of immeasurable loss

of regret

Taken at the prime of her life..

i was in awe of her when i first watched sepet.

i thought, now here was a film worth watching not once, not twice

not even trice, but as many times as one could have the opportunity of watching.

my admiration grew when gubra came.

then mokhsin.

not to mention the commercials, especially the ones that

preceed festivals.

honest

thought-provoking

humorous

candid

what immense will she must have had

to want to bridge the many sensitive distances

through her stories.

be it movies, or even commercials.

what stories she must have had

stored in that wonderful mind of hers and wanting to share those

stories with the world around her.

now we'll never know what other tales she would have told.

now that she's gone.

rest in peace, yasmin.
