Here is your challenge, next time you feel down list 100 things you love.
Saza- smiling.
Seems like we both had bad day - me bad night at work - tuesday to wednesday: i almost loose my job for defending kurdish rights - but it only would be the reason to be proud, people loose their lives for that, so loosing the job is really nothing. Finally i stayed at work (these cold blooded people know very well that i am one of the best workers - and i am not showing myself by saying that, just its the fack but its nothing important for me).
ReplyDeleteThe very first though that came to my head (i was to write "heart") when i saw the title of you entry - was: "100 times Kurdistan" - and i am sure that if i wrote the list there will be "Kurdistan" "Kurd" "Kurdish" in every point - so lets make it short: 1 - 100 Kurdistan. Only for the examples:
I love to sit on the Qalla in the morning and watch the fountains.
I love to sit in the Qalla in the evening (when its already dark) and watch the colorful lights sparkling with the fountains water.
I love to sit in the top of Goyzha in Suli, watch the breath taking view of the city and drink Hite beer with my brother Fara :)))
I love to see one of the house on the way to Rawanduz, which is architecture interesting and cute.
And so on and so on .... :)))
I love that you write blog posts dedicated to me even though we don't really know each other.
ReplyDeleteHope you both (Saz and Kulka) have had better days since. :)
Dear Amicus (i am better about my personal life, although not good about my country and my people) - i hope you will come to Kurdistan. Would be great to meet there - dont you think? I am sure Saza will be glad to have a cup of coffe in Costa Rica :))) - or tea in one of our sweet, beautiful chayxana.
ReplyDeleteI would like that.
