MY REFLECTIONS AND ARTICLES IN ENGLISH
BEFORE THE STORY FINISHES HAPPENING, SOMEONE HAS ALREADY DECIDED WHAT IT MEANS
Have you ever noticed what happens in a room one second after someone says, “I think I know what happened here”? Every shoulder in the room drops. Someone exhales, quietly, air they’d been holding since the meeting…
WHEN YOU STOP ASKING IF IT’S RIGHT— AND START ONLY ASKING IF IT’S BEEN APPROVED
There is a transition that happens without ceremony. No date marked on the calendar, no warning email, no meeting where someone says “as of today, you will no longer question things.” It happens slowly, beneath the surface…
NO ONE EVER TAUGHT YOU TO ASK — ONLY TO DESERVE IT IN SILENCE
There’s a scene that repeats itself in almost every company I’ve ever walked into. Someone delivers flawless work, fixes a problem that had three departments stuck, absorbs pressure no one else saw, and goes back to their…
YOU ALREADY FOUND IT. SO WHY ARE YOU STILL WAITING?
Somewhere between Persia and memory, there was a young woman who had heard about a well since childhood. Not just any well. A well that existed at the center of an ancient garden — walled, forgotten —…

YOU ASK TO BE SEEN OR TO SEE? THE DIFFERENCE NO ONE WANTS TO ADMIT
Think about the last time someone asked you a question. Not just any question — one of those questions that arrives with weight, with texture, with something that seems to genuinely want to know. Questions like that…
THE SQUARE THAT DID NOT APPLAUD
God is dead. God is dead. This is not a phrase meant to shock the reader — it is a diagnosis that someone needed ten years of silence on a mountain to utter without trembling. And yet,…
THE PERSON WHO DECIDES IS NOT THE SAME PERSON WHO DESIRES
