In August on a beautiful rainy summer week in London, I attended the Contemporary Art Exhibition & Event Management short course from the University of the Arts London (UAL), in the famed Central Saint Martins campus.

But today of all days, it is brought home to me it is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life. — Bilbo Baggins (JRR Tolkien)

عندما كنت طفلاً كنت أتخيل رافعات الشحن في ميناء مطرح على أنها زرافات تطل على مطرح، كنت أتخيل أنهم كانوا يستقبلوا السفن القادمة

Growing up, I thought languages was just another ‘thing’ to learn and add to your CV for your job prospects. Languages, in my small world, became a soulless medium. It does not help how we were sold to learn some of the languages.

Üzgün müsün?
