Loneliness, beginning of summer and a cooper process – sixth week

Now this is beginning of summer, which means holidays for most of the people around. People whom I already know will leave on their trips and business, students, whom I know will leave soon for new adventures or their homes. And children from the kindergarten. Most of them have already left it, and now there are only several children and new ones. I just realized that I will miss those kids so much! I spent with them two months and this period was enough for me to fell in love with them. The kindergarten became more or less quite, there is no much noise as it was before. And I will continue my activities with new kids there.
I feel alone here, and I don't know why. I don't want to come back my flat early, because there is no one whom you could talk to and my refrigerator is empty every time. I understand those people who live alone and do not keep anything in the refrigerator or they do not cook, because usually you're not home, you have meals outside, and if you cook something you would probably have it for one week. This is actually what is happening to me. If I cook something, it is going to be in the refrigerator for a week and then I through it all out.
Last week I was training a lot: running, doing different exercises. And I know why. It helps me to forget my thoughts, I mean philosophical thoughts with endless continuation. These kind of thoughts you have, when you don't have a close friend whom you could share your worries, and other things, you just keep them in mind, because you care of them. It is not that easy for me to tell my thoughts to everybody, this is the meter of trust, and I know it. You could talk to your relatives or friends by skype but it is not the same when you see a person next to you, who listens and understands. Anyway I can survive.
Last week I finished my cooper tray, which I was doing for almost two months, I still cannot believe in it. This work is so hard, and you need to be concentrated on it and to be patient. That is why I love it so much! This kind of concentration makes you forget about everything, daily life, problems, or whatever you would have in mind. But it doesn't mean that it could help everybody, if you don't like to do something very detailed, so that would probably not help you. And I'm so excited to start another tray with the Crimean Tatar ornament on it. When I will finish it, I make a post here as well with photographs.
Here are some photographs of kids from the kindergarten and a tray I finished, taken on my phone.










 P.S. I love skies in Gaziantep



Stay tuned.

Penetrating "Parasites" into other segments of the population will make you think and remember this movie

I wanted to write a review about "Parasites" a long time ago, which impressed me very much, and the moments from the movie that I still keep recalling. You may have heard about "Parasites" many times but this is a picture of South Korean film director Bong Joon-ho, who received the Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival this 2019 year. Bong Joon-ho has been in cinematography for many years, and he is well known globally for quite a long time. His thriller “Snowpiercer” was mentioned many times, which I have not watched yet, but I will watch all of his works after seeing the Parasites. A two-and-a-half-hour film plunges us into the tragic scene of two families, shows us the relationships of people from different social groups. At the first hour of a movie, viewers laugh on the truth in person’s essence they might see in themselves, and the next hour and a half they are amazed at the wretchedness, greed, cruelty, and such a strange stupidity of a human being. ...

Crimea: between empire and freedom,- interview with Nara Narimanova for El Mundo publications

Need to share this article that Xavier Colas has written six years ago interviewing me, pro-Western, and Tatiana Bridko, pro-Russian, (to give two opinions on the annexation) for El Mundo publication in Spanish. You can read it via not-perfect GOOGLE translation tool below.  All the rights are of the author and a publication copied from  El Mundo web-page . Crimea: between empire and freedom XAVIER COLÁS Updated:  04/05/2014  00:17 hours 14 When Nara Narimanova was a child, she had one country under her feet and another on her head.  The first was called Uzbekistan, a conservative land where Soviet inertia and Muslim traditions are walls that few can break.  There was a very different place in his mind: Crimea.  From there Stalin kicked out her grandparents, Tatars, in May 1944. For her and her parents, this region was a distant paradise that they had never trodden.  A mission to accomplish, a place to return ...
