In Nicosia..

I was in Nicosia with my friends and were visiting a cafe near Selimiye Mosque. I have been there before, but this time I was enchanted by its beauty. The impressive combination of gothic and islamic architecture is brilliant. A perfect marriage between two religions, does not look odd. Infact, it brings harmony and ambiance. How I wish, politicians on the both sides of the border feel the same and bring a solution to the island soon to reap the benefits of peace. Hope and pray....

Stop Wasting Water...

It is a sorry state to watch in many houses the way taps are run for long number of minutes to get hot water. Such acts are shameful on humanity when water is so precious. I always fill it up in a bucket and then use it on my plants and trees to nourish them. Would you waste food that way! The same way, water is food for the plants and trees....so please don't waste water. Please use as little as possible and don't waste it, especially running tap for hot water. Every little effort contributes to preserve Earth and protect Nature. 

Let's Save Water and Save the World for us and for our children

My Backyard...

I just love my backyard in springtime as this wonderful creeper begins to blossom with bright pink tiny flowers and makes an impact in my garden. I am yet to find out the name of this plant. Anybody knows! Till it lasts, I am going to enjoy the nature's wonder thoroughly. Hope you too will enjoy it.
Will see you soon with more news...

Time to Wake Up....

Hey Cypriots,
It's been a while since i wrote something for my blog. And as winter has left us to bask in Spring and awaiting Summer, I feel the need to be awake like a polar bear from hibernation. So the exciting news of the month was opening of Ledra Street after many years. Good to know among all the problems plagued by this island, signs of unity show up in its own tiny way. Lets see what happens next.

Meanwhile, I will be on the hunt for more exciting news and keep my blog updated..promise!

Happy Sprintime

What is happening with Cyprus!

July is here and everything seems to be centered around Summer - beaches, cafes, bars, etc. And not to forget the heatwave, which was too much to bear for most of us in Cyprus. Thank God, it is receding and hopefully will stay that way! Apart from that not much is happening i guess! A festival here and there to keep the locals and tourists happy. But nobody seems to battle the Global Warming phenomenon in North Cyprus! There is an urgent need to do something and as i suggested on NorthCyprus44 Forum board, planting trees is the best way to combat or help the situation. The amount of interest generated from this topic is amazing. Time is precious and we need this world, let us save it from destruction.

Plant trees please....

My life is like a lamp shade

My life is like a lamp shade, it glows when i am happy and fades when i am sad. It shines when i am enthusiastic and it darkens when i am bored. It flickers when i am troubled and brightens when i achieve. It burns when i am angry and cools when i am calm. It shakes when i am hyper and stands still when i am dull. It shuts off when i sleep and turns on when i awake. It vibrates when i am disturbed and sways when i am content. It relaxes when i am smiling and sparkles when i dance. It dances when i am over joyed and whispers when i am silent. My life is like a lamp shade.....

What a Shame...

As the lover of history, I was very keen to re-visit the Sanctuary of Pigadhes near Camlibel village and to my surprise it was in a very bad state. The sign was down, the gates were broken and the whole area was full of weeds. It is such a shame that such a historical place has been left to the nature and not being bothered about. I wish the archaeological department would do something quick before it totally gets destroyed and lost. I just wish next time I visit the place it is different!

And anyone visiting North Cyprus, especially the ones who are interested in history, please make it a point to visit Sanctuary of Pigadhes.

Have a great holiday in North Cyprus...
