More About Me

I'm passionate about

love, death, poetry, kindness and compassion.

An idea worth spreading

Naked we step into this world, naked we leave it, yet on our way there are a lot of people worth sharing our nudity or clothes with . Doing nothing means you're too weak, too frightened, too self-centered, doing nothing means not to live, but to die, day after day, night after night, all alone, in the middle of the silence shouting.

• A comment on Talk: A whistleblower you haven't heard

  Mar 10 2011: He's a nice person. An inspiring one. The very person to help one hibernating throughout this long winter to say hello to this shy virgin spring. I've re-listened for several times and is due to come along with it. And it's too cheerful for my teenage cat, I reckon. He may think I'm a birdie, not that boy in the "telly".

• A comment on Conversation: What's the best hidden gem in the TED archive?

  Feb 15 2011: I don't know whether it's a hidden gem or just a gem, but I do love it much, not only because of my professional interests, though it was a challenge to translate it. I'm speaking about C. K. Williams's talk http://www.ted.com/talks/c_k_williams_reads_poetry_of_youth_and_age.html
  I think as the TED's motto is 'ideas worth spreading" to share such manifestations of human towards human concern that are of both social and cultural importance is really essential. Saying nothing about the pure pleasure of listening to absolutely brilliant piece of poetry, I reckon, C.K. Williams says more about human nature than a shelf of scientific papers. Feather(used as a pencil) in the hand, I guess, is still more powerful than a sword.

  A comment on Talk: Annie Lennox: Why I am an HIV/AIDS activist

  Sep 24 2010: It's a touch of human concern that I do love about the speech. Though, again and again with regularity not worth being discovered I understand a human, a responsible citizen, a person who cares is so far from any kind of organization whether a state or international. A human will and concern is the only engine.
