A perfect life

By -

I just had a look on my previous posts and thought that everything was working fine in my life so far.
Indeed, if you read my stories, you think that I have a perfect life, don't u?

Well, to have a perfect life, I have to work and make it that way.

Sometimes it doesn't even depend on me.

There is  this inconvenience with British Council. Would you ever think that a such a large organization will act unserious? No, I would never think so.

Well, because of their grant delay, I almost left 40 people with no accommodation in London. And who cares? 


I care, I realize the gravity of this situation. I do.
I had only good intentions, but this time it didn't depend on me. Now I realized how important it is to keep calm and act right, no matter what. Now I understand what it means to have the responsibility of caring about others. Yes, I should of taken care of those people but I had both my hands tied up.
I called, I cried, I asked for an emergency help. Nothing happened.

Moreover, I realized that nobody cares. Everybody lies. Some of the people want to do great things and most of the time they are cut off.

To hope for better?
I kept my hope till the last moment in this project. I really hoped that British Council and European Commission are serious. I hoped at least that they care about people.
Things are so simple in life, but we, the human beings,  tend to complicate them. We like to have a complicated existence. Some people like to break  the law,  and they do it as they think that they have the power in their hands.  The regulations, policies, rules are only for powerless people, they think.
But I believe in justice. I believe in positivity and good things. I believe in success for good causes. I believe in people and  I believe in the power of  good people.

I know what I want.

Hakkari, Turkey

      If I would not get the opportunity to see Hakkari through an Youth in Action project, I probably would have never visit ed this blessed town, settled in the middle of the mountains. Hakkari is a place situated in the South East corner of Turkey, close to the border with Iraq and Iran.   It is composed of a Kurdish and Assyrian population and has approximately 57,844 people.     The history of this place takes your breath away. It was a refuge for the persecuted Christian Assyrians who ran away   in   the mountains to protect themselves against the Timurlane occupation (Turko-Mongolian   emir) in the 14 th century. Then in the 19 th century, they   were conquered by the Kurdish people and were turned into slaves or executed. There were also many conflicts between the Kurdish population an d the O t toman (later, Turkish) control. Hakkari was considered and it is still seen as an unsafe p...

Bitola. It's all about history here

Thanks to Youth in Action programme again, I came across an old, historical, Macedonian city called Bitola. Situated in the S-W part of Macedonia, Bitola settles at the foot of Baba Mountain and it is crossed by the Dragon River.   The place represents an important junction between the Adriatic Sea, the Aegean Sea and Central Europe. You would never guess, but this city has an impressive history.     It was founded as Heraclea Lyncestis (City of Hercules upon the Land of the Lynx) in the middle of the 4th century BC by Philip II of Macedon and it was an important settlement from the Hellenistic period until the early Middle Ages. Then, the Romans conquered this part of Macedon in 148 BC and destroyed the political power of the city. Still, the city remained prosperous because of the Via Egnatia Roman road which passed by the city. In the early Byzantine period (4th to 6th centuries AD) Heraclea was an important episcopal centre and bishops l...

The MARRIAGE in Saudi Arabia

Strange or not, the marriage in Saudi Arabia is a beautiful story. I know that “someone” in there regrets that it told me this, but now I know it and   I will tell it to everyone, hehehehe J Definitely, when it is about marriage, the men needs to decide he wants to marry. And from that time he starts to look forward to pick up a girl. Well, most of the women in Saudi keep their face hidden from age of 12-14 th ..and for the poor Saudi young men will be so difficult to choose someone. The easier way is to go for a girl from the family (a cousin for example). Yes, it is true, you can marry with your cousin!:)   Eh, when you have decided that she is the one, you need to go and “negociate” with the girl’s family. And you need to pay at least 40 000 Riyals (this is the limit, but some people paid more than 100 000 Riyals) for the bride’s family. With this money, the family will take care of the wedding and other stuffs. After this, the future groom will offer to the ...
