There is a psychological test which helps psychotherapist find out why you sometimes think you are Stendhal.

I Work, therefore I Exist!

The Hack with Learning, Jack!

I just love them for the great New Year programs they have proposed to us; they filled the TV grid so good with several-years-old shows that I can’t even express my gratitude with words! 

I hoped so much they would air proper entertainment shows at least this year… but this hope was taken away from me too! 

მედია „не для всех“

უძველეს დროს, როცა საქართველო დსთ-ს წევრი იყო, როცა ხალხი ჯერ კიდევ ცაში იყურებოდა მფრინავი თეფშების მოლოდინში, ხოლო მე ჯერ ისევ სკოლაში დავდიოდი, პირველი არხის ეთერში ხშირად ჩანდა წვერებიანი კაცი - ზურაბ მურვანიძე, რომელიც დემოკრატიის შესახებ საუბრობდა ხოლმე.

Love in the Vineyard

There are different kinds of love.
There is love between man and woman; the most beautiful and sublime feeling.
There is also the most sacred love - between mother and child.
There is also homosexual love.
There is also the love of homeland - if it was not for that how we would, Georgians justify our laziness?
There is the love of God - when we love the Lord and He loves us.
