crazy and interesting (hilarious) professors, a trip, a boxer, thefirst love, practical (and all other kinds of) jokes, music of the 60's, hope and a lot of love among people.

A wonderful novel with archaic soul, full of majestic descriptions that enrich the story of Khazars, placed in the late 8th and early 9th century. Another interesting and unusual thing about this book is that it comes in two different editions: ''male'' and ''female''. The difference is made by one passage in a single paragraph. Symbolically, as the author himself stated, Khazars represent Serbian people. Pavić was nominated for the Nobel Prize.
SERBIAN MUSIC OF THE WEEK Biljana Krstić, Serbian singer has one of the greatest voices ever. This song "Petlovi pojev" or "Roosters singing" is an emotional song which depicts life in the ''Heart" of Serbia. Serbian people consider the region Šumadija as the Heart of Serbia. However, in my personal opinion, "Heart" spreads from Šumadija to Pomoravlje.
This song tells about how roosters are singing in the morning, in the Serbian village near river Morava. A man wants to get up but his darling tells him that roosters are lying, that dawn is still far away, and that he should come back to bed and her arms.
There are many version of this song, but I will present you the two versions, one sung by Bilja Krstić, the other sung by Staniša Stošić, who was also a great Serbian singer.

Serbian coat of arms is similar to the Russian one (how often do you see a bird with two heads?) They both have a two headed eagle, however there are some obvious differences in design and color. The Serbian eagle is white, the Russian is gold. The Serbian eagle has one crown above its heads, the Russian has three little crowns.

THE BEGINNING
It's the easiest thing to find something negative in people. To dislike a nation, the color of a skin, the language, culture, or somebody's existence. I refuse that. I refuse to be the seed of hatred and intolerance.
I want happiness. Not wealth, not fame, or even success. Just happiness. Not just for me, but for others. Sometimes happiness seems to be the hardest thing to achieve...
My country is a part of me. It is a part of my identity that can reach into past where my ancestors dwell. They speak through the earth and stone. It's hard to hear them sometimes. But I try very hard. The message is usually: "Live now! Live fully and without hesitation!" It's a good message.
This blog is created in the honor of my country. Everything that is good, positive and loveable about Serbia will find it's place here.
