Beyond Right or Wrong: The Russian-Georgian Conflict

Given the freedom of speech, I write this article NOT from the ANTI-Russian perspective. I aware that many civilians (2000 plus at the time of writing) have died in face of the Russian attacks.

Outside the Window

Exactly 6:30pm. The clock in the tower chimed. I felt the coldness of the night as the sun descended. I said good-bye to him at the gate, outside my house. He was in a rush; he’d remembered he has a train to catch – missing it, he feared would be an unbearable pain for the [...]

The Balcony

The thunderstorm from the day before has finally stopped. The atmosphere had been stifling. Only one more tree left to fall. It feels like the hour in between this and that  jannat and jahnum  neither quite here nor there. It is a little after three and the air is still charged. At this [...]
