Dad

Exactly one week ago my father underwent an open heart surgery during which the surgeon (Dr. Roberto Coppola) exchange one of his heart valves.
I learned from my father how strong and brave he is.

The Boy in the Striped Pyjama

“The boy in the striped pyjama” is an amazing book. The dialogues between Bruno and Shmuel, their innocence, the pain. I have been in Auschwitz some time ago and if I close my eyes I can see the book event taking place. The linearity of the story and its simplicity are just stunning. The adult world and the children world clash in a contrasting way. I recorded the movie and I am going to watch it soon. Read this book as it is extraordinary for your soul.

Armenia - Sacred mountain and more

Next week my work will bring me to what I believe a very exciting destination, Yerevan, Armenia’s capital city. I have done some reading and I regret already the fact that it will be a “touch and go” visit. The country cultural complexity and long history fascinates me but I fear that most it cannot be found in Yerevan itself. I hope that the sky will grant me a glimpse of the Ararat Mountain.
