Flyktning (One Who Fled) Now Soars

A blog by professor Lesley Gale, 
In his office at the Literature House, Sukhanwar is surrounded by books, some new ones like Hillbilly Elegy and many from past centuries. The Literature House itself is just a year old, having opened October 15, 2016. Just a few feet away is the Sellanraa Book & Bar where residents of all ages come to eat, drink, read and socialize and where Sukkhanwar bought me my very first lingonberry juice. A nearby museum and public library make this a dynamic cultural hub on Kongens Street.

Reflection on the Diamond Jubilee Celebration in Lisbon, Portugal. Gulabuddin Sukhanwar I boarded an early morning flight Saturday 13 th July from Lisbon to Oslo. As soon as the aircraft departed, a young child beside me got my attention while speaking in Norwegian to his mother. Mamma hvorfor reiser vi tilbake? Det var hyggelig å være her, mye sol og… Mamma, why are we travelling back? It was nice to be here with more sun and …, I looked at the little boy and told his mum that he was quite right because Portugal also offered me an amazing experience and everlasting memories. I spent the last week of my summer holiday in Lisbon and had the privilege to join my fellow Ismailis from around the world to celebrate the  sixty years of leadership from our Imam, spiritual leader, His Highness the Aga Khan: the Diamond Jubilee.   The celebration took place in Parque das Nações, Portugal , where a warm welcome was offered to 45,000 Ismailis for such a historic occasion.

This is a true moment of joy and happiness to celebrate the publication of our anthology: a two-year poetic journey and the voice of diversity. Høre  hj e mme  is a multilingual poetry book published by Poetry Night in Trondheim defining our share d values and sense of belonging to the humanity. For me, p oetry has always been a lifesaver; in solitude, during times of happiness and joy or in any moment of sadness and suffering. Trondheim P oetry N ight   is a unique platform allowing participants to express themselves in their own language with its musicality and poetic beauty playing a central role to attract the attention of the audience, instead of just the words. So far, the language diversity, participation of poets from around the world and poetry lovers have created a universal language that brings people together to share a moment of joy and make memories. I personally love to start and end my talks by referring to a poem, because I trust that they are more tha

A few days with nature

A beautiful summer morning, with colourful flowers and the evergreen nature of Trondheim, makes a day as memorable as could be. I always take advantage of my solitary state by going out to find a beautiful place where I can be alone but surrounded by trees, flowers, and nature; where the birds sing. It’s where I am able to talk and more importantly listen to myself. This summer in Trondheim, I explored Lian and Grønlia, luxuriating in its greenery. A round tour from Lian to Grønlia and Skistua is 10 kilometers. I really enjoy walking this beautiful distance along the forest, taking the fresh air and a breathtaking view of the city from Lian hill. Lian is a summer recreation area which on sunny days is crowded with fun-loving families swimming, grilling food outside and exploring the surroundings. The last week of July, I decided to immerse myself in nature more deeply, to intensify the experience. This time I left my mobile at home, spending time away from the int
