Perhaps a useless piece of trivia, but the word; 'Sharki' is the name of a wind, more specifically a South Easterly wind that sometimes blows in the Persian Gulf.

I guess that's because "sharqi" means "eastern" - just like here the wind is called nor`wester.

Ah, we just have lazy winds, they don't go around you, but cut straight through.
