When a childhood friend gets married… Utmost happy and sad

“As to marriage or celibacy, let a man take which course he will, he will be sure to repent (Socrates).” In my case — it’s the second, in case of most of my friends — it’s the first, although they have found such good and caring better-halves that I doubt they will ever regret being “chained” by marriage.

Love letters

It was Valentine today and although as far as I remember me, I have celebrated this holiday only once in my life and presently, it is at bay from me and has nothing to do with me, I love seeing people happy, loving, caring and bouncing.

The picture created by the couples in the streets is so great. As they say, you are never old to love, so by couples I never try to imply only the young. There is something magical in seeing elderly people walking hand in hand with a rose and smiles.

Love is beautiful and it’s even more beautiful when it’s expressed in letters. Let’s see what feelings the love letters and poems of famous people convey. Continue reading

Lack of respect and appreciation in families

While family is one of the top priorities for Armenians, the general truth is that marrying your husband you marry his entire family. This tendency has dwindled to a certain extent primarily compared to marriages in Soviet Armenia, but it still exists. Perhaps it will fully disappear in the years to come, but as long as there are the descendants of the Soviet Armenia generations, this will be preserved.

When a man loves a woman… adorable…

Ronald Reagan — To me, he is one of the people whose life is so much inspiring and whose love breathes so much hope in the worn out inches of one’s heart, that it gives hope there still exists true love — love that respects, cares, trusts and all that it wants is to see and make you happy.

Love that will not lie in your eyes, that will not cheat on you, will never ignore you, or make you feel subordinate,,, love that will never drag you from hair or try to pull you down, love that will never spit in your face in the direct meaning of this word, Continue reading

Untitled…

When you’re once being beaten by love, you always think you’ll never be able to recover from that. You think so until the moment someone appears and makes you believe that your heart hasn’t died yet, that it can still spread its wings and fly high above everything. This is a great feeling. And that’s how you can describe it, a feeling, but how it actually feels Continue reading

Brief Account of My Project in Spain

I am a person who is in constant search for the good, for the human and for the things worth living for. I am 23 years old and the last few years of my life had passed within the walls of my university and work place and one day I simply realized that I have cut me from people and have driven myself far from one important point in my life, which is to help people. It was then that I started searching for something that would help me re-build my life, which would offer new challenges that would be used as a material to “renovate” the basis of my life and make it stronger, and eventually, help me with the goal I had set for me, but of which I had become oblivious.

My project has to do with blind people. Continue reading

The Beautiful Armenian Bride

I am perhaps one of the few ones who have seen one of the most beautiful Armenian brides in my life. You know I have seen thousands of beautiful girls who in no way appeared as beautiful in my eyes as the girl who got married a few months ago. You might think it was her makeup or her dress that made her beautiful. I say no. She was beautiful because she was immensely happy and was conscious of what she was doing and therefore the bright sparkle in her eyes was way more powerful than that of a most expensive diamond. Don’t wanna talk much about that, instead will post some pics as a proof of what I say. Continue reading

Advertising: A Bunch of Shit

Photo by Ani Babayan

Advertising is perhaps as old as the oldest profession on our planet, yet if with the years the oldest profession has not changed much, advertising has acquired new forms and new ways of expression. If previously the product to be advertised was being seen or shown directly to the buyer, then now it has found its way through newspapers, TVs, computers with the one similarity between the old and new times – if you want to have success, then you have to beautifully describe it to impress people.

It Happened Many Moons Ago

***

It happened many moons ago. A boy was born to a woman who was destined to bring him up on her own. The father was not with them but the boy had a grandpa who taught him everything for which the boy was to be thankful in the rest of his life. Perhaps no one has ever grieved for his grandpa as much as he did after the wise man passed away.

The boy was a wonder-child. He grew up having read every book in their library. At the age of six he was more advanced than any other child of his age. He was gifted, and he didn’t know that with time when he would later in his life become just an ordinary person among the rest, there would be a girl for whom he would keep on being the wonder-boy.
