Feels like love...

In the beginning you don't know about it...

Then you listen to it and you fall in love...

Then you search for it...

In days of borebom or ones of immense creativity...

Then you listen to it again and you stick your ear to the radio wishing for the title...

You don't sleep without whispering its sounds or lyrics...

Then you commit for a good, really good search...

Then you find it...

You sense a feeling of having lost something...

That is the appetite for discovery...

Or the magic of it...

But then, it stays within you...

And more delicate feelings grow about it...

It's yours and you can share it with the world...

Or share it with yourself at times you may have forgotten about it...

And then you set off for new discoveries through reminding yourself what a good treasure-hunter you have been!

Enjoy...after you find it!

Interesting findings

Being silent for a good while didn't mean I've been inactive. On the contrary...

Too much to say and squeeze into a blog post, so I just thought of sharing some interesting findings!

Go...east!

...never been further to the east of the world! Not that it actually matters... But me being a geographer by education and a traveler by profession, I keep the 4 cardinal points as a "strong" reference framework!

What do you know about Azerbaijan? I didn't know much and by the time I went, I had only met a few people from there.

Now I know a bit more, although my 2 days staying there was definitely not enough.

The Caspian sea, the high quality caviar, the gas and oil companies, the huge constructions and re-constructions and more.

Above all nice people, really nice people...(well, maybe not some of the ones at the airport)... that made me feel at home.

I had some wonderful moments in an orphanage school where there was a "European night" organized. I'll be really happy to see some of these children taking advantage of European opportunities in the future. Trust me, there were very eager to know about Europe and what it offers!

As they were greatly interested in the "yoyo" I offered to them...this thingie never goes out of interest!

If any wind takes you to that side of the world, a walk on the seaside, or up to the hills and definitely some wandering around the market (bazzaar) will supply you with good memories to share later!



Until next time,

S.

P.S Thank you Akshin, your organization "Human Rights in the 21st Century" and the Council of Europe that made this possible.

It takes two...

Try saying:


"Y E G Llllllllllll"!


You do it and then you get the sense of a waterfall in your throat!

You read it, and then you are ready to Go YEGLing!

When a multitude of youth leadership experiences are coming together, the result is a MUST READ!


But saying "Creativity in Motion" is easier, isn't it?

Easier for everyone will also be organizing it!

Organizing what?

"Creativity"!

So poetic... a publication that seeks to illustrate the past of Creativity and pave the way for its future!


Enjoy reading & please, feed us with your thoughts!

The beginning of the end...

Well...

the time has come...or, if speaking that cosmos' language, when time comes or goes, it is difficult to say.

But Lost's final season, in the real (?) world we live is about to start...and I can't wait!

Though, a minute or so ago, when I came across the clip below, I said to my self "already the 2nd of February at the corner!hmmmm...why not delaying it a little bit more...". Longing emerging from waiting of your loved one is what probably makes the much desired beginning (of the end) the most ambiguous thing in one's Lost soul!

Enjoy, nonetheless!

Lullabies in the dark...

Listen with care...
