• Something to tell the world!

  Greetings to everyone! Although, expressing yourself by words, feels like carving a portrait on the air; I shall give it a plausible try. First thing first, nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everyone I've ever known, studied or read. A modicum of Diogenes' witty tongue, a pinch of quixotic devotion of Don Quixote, a slice of courageous errantry of Marco Polo, a drip of inquisitive curiousity of Da Vinci, a dose of magniloquent enthusiasm of Homer, and a spoon of nerve-wracking calmness of Marcus Aurelius... More or less, that's the recipe for my very nature.

  My interests revolve around a vast variety of topics and themes such as History (Classical antiquity & Medieval eras, predominantly Ancient Rome and Greece.), Cultural anthropology, Mythology & Foklore, Literature, Modelling and Figurines, Astronomy, Collecting antiquities, Wild life and nature, Linguistics, Handcrafts, Astrophotography just to name a few.

• My interests in other cultures

  I strongly buck against the term "otherness". In worshipping their nationhood men worship themselves and scorn others, and that is no healthy thing. Diversity is an aspect of human existence that cannot be eradicated by "otherness" or "differences". I claim that I'm the citizen of the Earth and son of the nature. Thus I become the natural heir of the colossal heritage of mankind.
