ፍቅርን እያየሁ በአርጩሜ ተገርፌያለሁ።
''አየሽው? ይበላሻል።''
ፍቅር አያ ጅቦ፣ አባባ ቆጣጢ ምናምን ይመስለኛል።
ከፍቅር ግርፋት የተረፈች ልቤን ግን ለስንቱ ሰጠኋት? በፍቅር አይደለም። በቸርነት።
''እናቴ የምትመርጥልኝ አይነት ልጅ ነሽ።'' ሲለኝ ይች ፍንክትካች ልብ ምናለ ለእናትና ልጅ ፍቅር መስዋዕት ብትሆን እላለሁ።
''ወደድሁሽ። ከአንቺ ውጪ የማስበው የለም።'' ላለኝ ሌላ ሰው ፍቅር አያ ጅቦ ከሚሆንበት ይህች ወላቃ ልብ እላለሁ።
አቃረጥኋት። ፍንክትካቿ ልቤ ግን በአንዳች ተዐምር አርጩሜ ሆነች።

Trianon is back. Or more precisely I am back at Trianon.
Trianon was a cafe and restaurant right next to cinema Ethiopia at Piassa.
It was one of the most authentic places and I used to write there because I loved the vibe. I even had a story whose main character is a guy who writes there.
It was closed for renovation two years ago. Then reopened then closed again because of some malfunction.
But it is back.
Has it lost its authenticity? Yes.
It even has a bar now.
But it is still very a cool place to have conversations. Check it out.
Good Coffee demo.

People say this a lot.
Love is [insert negative words here].
I don't know what counts as love for other people.

When I was a child, I used to collect stickers from a bubblegum: love is... delight.
It has cute definitions of what love can be demonstrated by following a couple.
I recently found the stash and really liked how it is varied.
If one read each statement without the picture, one can widen one's horizon as to what love is and can be.
Love can be and is more than romance which we usually confuse it with
* Love is pulling together when things get rough.
* Love is visiting someone who lives alone.
* Love is a small miracle.
* Love is seeing each other in a new light.

Movies and books show love is a weird phenomena believed by beautiful and innocent girls. The strong, the experienced, the educated seem to take it as a tale.
Love is a summation of many wonderful things.
Good intention, forgiveness, understanding, persistence, listening, and many more.
And there definitely is no strength, intellect or experience without these things.
I believe we start to succeed as a generation and as a species if we give love a chance instead of belittling it.
I think.

እውቀት ቲኒጥ ነገር አይደለችም።
'የዕለት እንጀራችሁን የምታገኙት በእውቀት በኩል አይደለምና መፃህቶቻችሁን አስቀምጡ' የሚል ቢኖር እሱ ስለእውቀት አልገባውም።
ከመብልም ከልብስም በላይ ነውና።
ግን እውቀት እንደምታስባት ትልቅ ነገርም አይደለችም።
በመፃህፍት እና በትላልቅ በሮች በስተጀርባ ስትፈልጋት 'ባለማወቅ' ውስጥ ታገኛታለህ።
ማወቅህ ራስህን ብቻ የሚጠቅም ከሆነ ባታውቅ ይሻልኃል። ኧረ እንደውም ያወቅህ መሰለህ እንጂ አላወቅህም። በማወቅህ ዙሪያህን ያሉት ሊጠቀሙ ዘንድ የተገባ ነው።
ሁለት እንደጉርሻ የሚሆኑ የእውቀት እውነታዎች:
* ብዙ ከማወቅ ሀዘን ይመጣል።
* ያወቁትን አለማወቅ አይቻልም።

What bothers me now is that I don't have the ball. I don't even know where the ball is and I am desperately trying to find it. But then maybe there is no ball at all. Maybe the game is horse riding and I am looking for a ball... without a horse.
Or anything really... it can be anything.
That is what is itching on my sulci. 🧠🧠

In another life... in a completely different childhood and upbringing... I would have been a film director.
If you know me, you would know that I usually say, 'I am not a movie person'. I am not. I haven't watched lots of movies.
But few I watched actually made me believe in the art of film making. Oh how wonderful messages can be conveyed.
I am just articulating this thought and I really have a lot to learn about film making. I also need to watch a lot more movies. But here are few movies/ series I liked and made me want to learn more:
- እኔና ቤቴ
- የእግር እሳት
- Avatar
- Marriage story
- Fleabag
- English Vinglish
Do you have other movie recommendations which make one think?
Please share them. ☺ @lozaad

The thing about hard copy books
Once I was reading on ረዥም የታክሲ ሰልፍ። Chimamanda's Americanah. I remember.
As I was going to turn the page, the girl behind me said, "ቆይ። አልጨረስሁም"
Then we both laughed. Then we kept on reading together.
I need to buy books 😃
