Balkan 4 EVER aka Hol van a haza?!

...is listening to: Boban Markovic Orkestar. Ederlezi. Genious! I love balkanic music!It's so full of feelings, so fresh, so much ALIVE! It's loud when it's sad, it is shouting! Expressing the feelings..Happiness, it is partying like crazy! A lot of temper!
Not to mention that the little city of Tököl (or Tukulja) where I come from was always hosting slav minorities. These people are very closed, I feel funny walking down the street, even a bit of a stranger myself, although I was born and raised here..

But where do I belong now? I am not feeling at home in Hungary, yet in Sweden or England…I am a cosmopolitan? Or am I home-less? Will I ever find my place in this sweet home PLANET earth?
Heavy questions to answer.
They say, that mother country you have only one, but you can make a home for yourself any where you go..
“ Azért vagyunk a világon, hogy valahol otthon legyünk benne.” Tamási Áron
“- És hol laknak azok a magyarok?
- Magyarországban. Ausztria, Románia, Csehszlovákia és Jugoszlávia közt.
- Ugyan kérem... Ezeket az országokat Shakespeare találta ki.” Szerb Antal

BAck on track

Back to Hungary.
I have one month to prepare and study for my big chemistry exams.
Wish me good LUCK!
:-)
It is funny to be back home, mostly because I really really wish to have my own place now..Im damn OLD!
Tonight is a bit chilling out, I baked some pumpkins, made nice thyme tea, listening to Ravi Shankar and Bombay S Jayashry, God Bless SpotiFFy!
(Although they removed the Kronfogel ad :-()
Candles and scented oils are just TOPS.
Im looking forward to tomorrow!

I was wondering...what is success? My tibetan book says: having a lot of money does not necesseraly equal success. If it is not based on your own abilities and integrity, it's not success, but a fake situation based upon fear..
"A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do." says Bob Dylan.

The great key to success is LIFE and accepting everything what life brings to you, with a positive attitude.
I think I know how success feels. Or at least thats how I felt when I finished my first half marathon at Silverstone this year, on the 14th of March..I ran because I wanted to prove that I can do it. That I won. Over my fears and my weakness.
