When I see this post by the United Nations for International Rural Women's Day, my heart turns with profound respect to my grandmother in the village—a woman whose quiet strength and tireless devotion shaped my fondest memories.

Her hands, weathered by decades of labor, prepared feasts that made our holidays truly unforgettable: homemade jams, rich syrups, savory sausages, delicate duck livers, and golden dripping—each bite a testament to her love and craftsmanship.

Her discipline was unwavering, her work ethic boundless. She labored with grace until the final week of her life, departing this world at the age of 81, leaving behind a legacy of resilience and self-sacrifice.

To her, and to the countless rural women around the world who toil unseen and give without measure—I offer my deepest admiration and gratitude. You are the quiet pillars upon which generations are built.

 

October 10 - dark day in civil avaiation - attack on Riyadh international airport

The number of casualties, the number of injured... the pointless attacks... the kidnapped democracy of Yemen... the dead passengers and pilot.

It is difficult to understand why things are going in this direction. Why was there no warning and no sheltering of passengers and crew? Why could it be repeated three consecutive days? Why was the airport not closed after the first attack?

Just thinking publicly...
