There is something quite interesting to do with Mars and nothing to do with Mars at the same time. Well, let me just say Mars is now the centre of attention, I haven't heard all this drum beat since Pluto was declared "not a planet", in my World, Pluto is still a planet, and a name of goofy dog created by Disney, and yes, the dog is not Goofy the dog either! There were two dogs, one was less smarter than the other, :-) Back to our Galaxy, Mars Rover landed, cool, then we saw one of  NASA guys with cool mohawk and then the doodle apparently drawn by rover on Mars which begun circulating a couple of days ago. Now with this kind attention to stuff like this, one cannot help but feel, jeez, do we really deserve this planet? We took the image left by rover and carefully deciphered it as stupid as we can and belittled the bigger picture here, the actual fact that humanity now has samples from Mars and it is being tested, good job.

With their cuteness overload these feline creatures have fought their way to human heart, thanks to their massive presence on youtube.

Just like we find kittens extremely adorable, even though some of them are ridiculously unattractive (G...

"Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?" Gandalf, in response to "Good morning" by Bilbo Buggins. Before I came to Baku, I never really knew much about the city and its inhabitants. I didn't know anyone who have lived here, nor did I have any stereotypes about the place. I came with an open mind and heart, with my main goal being attaining of MA degree, make friends and finally head back to Kenya (The weather is better back at home, I wouldn't trade it for anything).  Of course the city would be nothing but structures if not for the people living here. and I have met kind people who have welcomed me and my friends into their homes and introduced us to Azerbaijani hospitality. It is very bad and unethical to judge the whole nation by the act of crazy amongst them and I am not. this crazies on the street that I encounter litera...
