Turkish Tuesday, Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mom) s1e46: Is It Magic, Or Is It Us?

We start off in the cafe with Sadık arriving early to collect Betüş and shop for dinner that evening, as Yavuz and Eda are coming over, unbeknownst to Dudu, of course, which Betüş reminds Suzan not to mention if Dudu comes to the cafe. The three adults comment that hopefully little Çilek has finally gotten over her crush on Yavuz. No such luck, of course, as we cut to our little rebel fairy at home putting on makeup! Avni is of course watching all of this from across the way, while Firuze id downstairs cooking and reminding Cem and Ceren to be more careful with their shoes and not to touch the food until their guests arrive. As the two older siblings stomp off arguing about something that Ceren knows about Cem’s girlfriend, our little red-headed rebel shocks poor Firuze with the makeup and grown-up dress. Absolutely inappropriate, and reminds me of an earlier tragedy with a similar aged young model. As Ceren arrives and sees her, little Çilek gets disapproving speeches from both her older sister and again from Firuze, but remains unmoved. Cem, meanwhile, insists on calling his classmate to find out what is going on with his girlfriend, over Ceren’s strong objections. He finally asks why, and she explains that his girlfriend will find out, third-hand, eventually, that he does not trust her. Then they go downstairs to find Firuze fed up with their little sister, who remains defiant about her un-childlike dress, though reassuring him that it is only juice in her wine glass. Cem orders her to change clothes, yelling just as their parents arrive, looking at the little rebel in shock as she threatens to tell Dudu about the dinner, if her parents dare to criticize her dress and makeup as Cem has just done. No one knows what to do as the little rebel marches off, refusing to change clothes or remove the adult makeup she is wearing. Betüş adopts the tactic of ignoring her as the little rebel tries to help her prepare to set the table until forced to stop and explain that it is not the clothing, but rather the threat to expose Eda and Yavuz’s meeting at the family home, that really has Betüş upset. Nevertheless, she also tries to get little Çilek to refer correctly to Yavuz as Yavuz Abi, which the little rebel fairy still refuses, insisting on calling him Yavuz, as an adult would do, and then marching off again, with a horrible parody of a sexy swagger. The level of patience exhibited by these parents amazes me, as any American kid pulling this kind of stunt would have had her hide tanned long ago. Suzan and Avni meanwhile are having the usual argument about his ‘maniac-like’ behavior while he tries to explain to her about little Çilek next door, and she gives him 24 hours to toss out the binoculars…

Violência Contra a Mulher – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Mulheres que foram e são chamadas de ” loucas” por favor, continuem acreditando na sua sanidade mentalO louca que os homens vos atribuem, não passa de estratégia para desqualificar vocês, não por estarem erradas. Mas, por eles não assumirem as suas faltas.

Rhythms of the Endless Sea – Kaushal Kishore

 

The sea, immense and endless, sways with poise,

Its waves in constant rhythm, a harmonious noise…

Each crest and trough narrate tales of wind’s embrace,

A testament to power, depth, and far-reaching space…

.

With crests and troughs, they ebb and flow,

Taking away things, yet giving, as they go…

Treasures lost, pearls and marine food acquired,

The sea, indifferent, with boundless force inspired…

.

Some curse, some praise, the sea’s mighty roar,

But the waves keep crashing, forever more…

Swift and bold, they don’t discriminate,

Leaving us to face life’s uncertain fate…

.

Like the sea, life’s neutral, a blank slate,

Events drift by, neither bad nor great…

Until we assign meaning, with heart and mind,

And judgments swirl, like waves, hard to unwind…

.

Let’s strive for inner peace, like the sea’s calm core,

Resilient and steadfast, playing forever more…

Unfazed by opinions, like the waves’ steady flow,

And find our balance where love and serenity grow…

.
