Explaining Tatars tea-loving nature, and the ‘never-ending teatime’

I'm fortunate to have intelligent students who are eager to develop their critical thinking (sometimes even more so than certain people in power).
Young minds, driven by a thirst for knowledge, justice, and truth, challenge the status quo. In light of recent international developments-my reflection:

"Any idiot can give a TEDx talk!"
That’s what some said about my TEDx experience. But is it true? Maybe.
In my talk, I explore self-awareness: foundation for understanding and protecting one’s rights.
I was told it’s 'eye-opening'.

I wrote this piece back in 2010s, but it took nearly a decade to release it. I attended a few events organized by Afghani community and was deeply impressed by their warmth and friendliness. One of melodies stuck in my mind. While humming it, I improvised on piano
