Sheesha ,hukkah whatever u call it  is an alternative way of smoking for the arabic men.If u look into the past the sheesha originally originated from India , it was a way smoking discovered by the muslim kings with water later it was adopted by the arabian civilization,earlier years it was a part of the muslim countries n culture now it has spread itself to the whole world in the form of sheesha clubs.However interesting it may look and sound it is more hazardous to ones health than the cigarette itself . What intrigues me is the beauty of the sheesha equipment and how it can be converted into beautiful decoration piece , Sheesha are now mainly made in Egypt and Jordan and the beautiful hand painted work on them are the reflection of the very famous arabic art n culture
