Playing with Memories
I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel ― Maya Angelou
I’ve seen this quote on one of London’s tube stations, it made me think at that time but it is only now when I have fully understood it.
Tracking Spring 2013
At this time of the year normally I would post first flowers. Instead the weather has surprised so much that I could not resist to not create the following video. The time spent skiing in Poland was marvellous. Additionally the snow fall on Easter Sunday and Monday created an atmosphere of Christmas rather than Easter itself

Merry Easter!! :))
Wishing You all Merry Merry Easter from white Poland!
As you can see it feels more like expecting a first star and gifts during Christmas than looking for eggs and bunnies in a garden this year. Wait, have you remembered to sent a letter to Santa?
Photo history: It was taken two days back in Zakopane in Polish mountains Tatras. This year the ski season seems to be very long with lots of natural snow as you can see. All rights reserved by KEBS.
Dreaming over the Coffee Aroma
Again experimenting with photos 
This one was taken while having a cuppa of great coffee at a new coffee shop open just around the corner.

Two Softened Shoes
Another beautiful song found recently
Someday when we’re old and worn
Like two softened shoes
I will wonder on how I was born
The night I first ran away from you

A Song which does not want to leave me this week
“What is your resolution sir?”
Said the man on the mast in the square today
“Where is your contribution sir?”
He responds in respect to the hypocrisy

About Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
- Can you see a circle?
- No, because you have blurred it.
- Because it was Yesterday. And It’s gone. There is only Today. Do you like Today?
- You mean… whether today is ok?
- You must like Today, then Today will like you. And forget about Yesterday, then It will forget about you.
- Not too bad… Do you have anything about Tomorrow?
- About Tomorrow we can’t talk. It does not belong to us.

Be My Friend
This song matches perfectly this movie – Louise’s Garden (Ogrod Luizy). Ecarrie made a great job!
I would give a lot to be able to find a version with English subtitles as I would love to share with you and my friends this beautiful and touching story which happens in the movie.
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small and needy
Warm me up
And breathe me

It is good to feel a child again :)
Age does not make us childish, as some say; it finds us true children - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Women on Wings Initiative
After spending a couple of years in India I would say this is the right way to help women to find a job, afford a dignified life and provide hope for the future. So far it seems Women on Wings are engaged solely in India but I guess similar initiatives are and/or should be soon in other parts of the world where women still need to fight for their positions in society, more than in other parts of our globe.

Dreams of a Severed Head
To be frank I am not a fan of the book ‘Life of Pi’ but the below sentence described my permanent dream perfectly. When I read it the first time I thought that this book will be really amazing, that the author and I were on the same wavelength. May be my expectations were too high expectations, just because of this one sentence
I had visions of myself sitting at a table on a large veranda, my notes spread out in front of me next to a steaming cup of tea. Green hills heavy with mists would lie at my feet and … – Yann Martel
Fish likes to swim even though it is not alive ;)
Even exploring the neighbourhood can bring new surprises when you think you know it well. Just look around, e.g. change an usual pub and you can find that the other one is also very friendly and homely, with a great view over the water. Additionally while waiting for a meal you are assisted by a white whale. Not by accident though

The Art of Manliness: “No, thank you Josephine”
May be the book The Art of Manliness: Classic Skills and Manners for the Modern Man teaching how to be still a man in the current times is not known to most of you but the similar scenes from the real life for sure are
And the conclusion (one of the best scenes ever):
After so many years Friends still rules and makes my day!
Believe or not but…
If two points are destined to touch, the universe will always find a way to make the connection – even when all hope seems to be lost. Certain ties cannot be broken. They define who we are – and who we can become. Across space, across time, among paths we cannot predict – nature always finds a way – Quote from Touch

Business Hours of Mum’s Kitchen
My mother said it was simple to keep a man: you must be a maid in the living room, a cook in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom. I said I’d hire the other two and take care of the bedroom bit - Jerry Hall

Art of Living
And you can’t fight the tears that ain’t coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies

Auto Replay
I have decided this year I will try to keep this blog more lively and post more up to date quotes and some events that should not be missed. Nevertheless, I am always getting inspired by old songs, poems and what people have said in the past so this will still find its place here as well. Many of them are still so relevant in our times.
The first one I want to share with you in 2013 is the one I have received from one of my clients today as his auto email reply. After reading it I got really jealous :) It reads:
Please note that I will have limited access to email from 24 December 2012 to 31 January 2013 as I’m writing my new book.
