I try not to get stuck at some certain things. Life is so rich and varicoloured. I feel great being on move, while staying at the same place can provoke stagnation. It will be the time you’ll totally outstay of the things going around.

It was some time ago that I stopped distinguishing between the good and the bad. The Russian language has got much more adjectives to picture the situation. The difference in the words’ meanings invests into our being able to see all the perspectives of the issues being viewed.

Attention, whatever the subject is (work, people, objects or animals) is the well known method of transporting the energy. That is the thing everybody is conquering for nowadays. What we all should do is giving our attention to people around us and not struggle for it. It’s important to learn to see the world around. The more energy you release, the more of it you’ll get back. There you go.

People tend to prefer India nowadays as they can properly relax there, moreover they can be themselves there, so to say to release a “child”, to find something that you’ve been looking for for so long. Others go there just because of the trend. India is a magic country with the particles of wisdom and magic in the air, tales and miracles being the integral part of the country. Here the magic touches even those who have ceased to believe in one long, long ago.

I studied both in Moscow and in London and I can state that the systems are crucially different from each other: us being purely theory-oriented, them — practically oriented. However I found it easier and more interesting to penetrate some practical aspects in London, having got a substantial theoretical background in our country.

My son taught me to purely love. He is my best collocutor, friend and companion. I love him so much and it is so much I learn from him.

Provided I’ve got a choice whether to do nails or to visit some interesting event I will definitely decide for the second though I know people who will get another choice. I strongly stick to the opinion that when it comes to one’s appearance (as to many other spheres) it’s better “not to over” that “over to”. This will give you the chance not to miss something really worth experiencing.

I don’t like to eat much. I prefer to try food. I do not make an idol out of the thing. When there’s a variety on the table I will try each kind of food which will make me happy and will give me all the necessary emotions. The letter are more important to me comparing to gluttony and gastrophilism.

I do my best to avoid speaking to fanatic and rigid people. There’s neither use nor wish to debate with them, moreover I don’t feel like moving them from the point they get stuck at, living this point to be their own unit. I prefer to meet seeking, free and unfettered people.

Watching people is one of my hobbies. Once I find myself in a place I don’t feel comfortable about and I can’t leave it due to some certain causes I just sit and start watching people around. I travel a lot, meeting great number of people from different countries, and now I come across not only their twins but their triplets. I always wonder how these people would come along each other in case they were introduced to each other one day.

Tickets to different countries are the best money investments. I’ve always wanted to get a Multipass.

London is the centre of the whole world for me: you can find small constituents of absolutely every country there: India, France, Venice, Japan, etc. However I haven’t happened to find a small piece of London in any city of the world. It’s special for its extraordinary energetic, one can live how one feels like there. One can set plans for the day and then personify them into life, or one can just leave the house and be involved with this fantasy world which itself will take one into the day. I am in a love affair with this city and it never ceases to surprise me.

I’ve got a crow in my house, I’ve rescued it from a dog in the street. It’s been staying with me for several months, bringing me much of positive and surprising emotions. It’s got a special kind of humor, it can dance, it can sing, it can be mean, it can be generous, it talks to me and does its personal exercises. These birds know how to deal with people.
