OMG FACTS: GANDHI WROTE 2 LETTERS TO HITLER. WOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT ?

It's hard to imagine 2 contrasting historical figures. I never even thought they lived around the same time. One was considered to be one of the most (if not still is *the* most) peaceful men in history, and the other will be hated forever for starting a war that killed 50 million people. Not to specify his holocaust things.



Anyway by 1939, it seemed that the world was headed for a war of a really large scale. Thinking he could make a difference, Gandhi's friends urged him to write to Hitler and dissuade him from making the mistakes he was about to make.  His letter was simple, to the point and only a couple of paragraphs long, Gandhi told Hitler that he was the one person who could prevent the war that could reduce humanity to savagery. After asking him to listen to "the appeal of one who has deliberately shunned the method of war," he even apologized if his letter was an inconvenience!



What's most striking to me is that he opens and closed the letter by calling Hitler his friend.

May be it was just a way of being polite after all I suppose Gandhi would have been scared of Hitler or was it just formality. What do you think?

Rimmel London Hard Rock

Bu ojeyi Chanel Graphite'in benzeri olabilir diye sürdüm ilk başta ama alakaları yok. Bir kere Hard Rock ondan daha koyu. Aslında benzeyip benzememesi çok önemli değil çünkü en favori ojelerimden biri ve size gösterebilmem için fırsat doğdu. Bilmem söylemiş miydim ama Rimmel'ın Sky High'ına bayıldığım için yedeklemiştim, bu ojeyi aldıktan sonra tekrar görebilseydim mutlaka aynı muameleyi yapardım! I picked up this nail polish yesterday while thinking this could be Chanel Graphite's dupe but Hard Rock is too dark to be a dupe. Actually that isn't important for me, Hard Rock is one of my favourite polishes and now I can show it to you. I wish I would buy one more of this but I have never seen it after I bought this one :( Harika bir sonbahar ve kış ojesi, bu renk bende tırnaklarıma gerçekten metal sürmüşüm hissi uyandırıyor, çok seviyoruum :) This is a great fall&winter colour, I feel like I applied liquid metal on my nails and love that feeling :)

H&M Winter Lookbook

Sonbahar ve kış artık yavaş yavaş geliyor, yarın da İstanbul'da yağmur yağacakmış hatta. Bu sene bir ilke imza attım, ne yazdan ne önümüzdeki sonbahardan şikayet ettim, hatta daha önceden ilkbahar gelsin diye can attım. Bilmeyenler için ara mevsimleri hiç sevmem, özellikle de sonbahar ve yağmurdan nefret ederim. Her neyse yeni koleksiyonlar beni neşelendirmeye yetti :) Bu yazı tüm sonbahar sevmeyenler için gelsiiin :D Fall and winter are coming slowly, I heard that it will be rainy tomorrow in İstanbul. This year I made a difference and didn't complain about fall - for the ones who don't know I hate rain and fall from seasons. Maybe because of the new collections :) And I send this post to people who don't like fall all around the world :D       Neyse ki karaları bağlamıyoruz, yine rengarenk giyinmeye devam edebiliriz. Kıyafetlerin kesimleri hatları ortaya çıkarmayacak şekilde. Thank God, we can still wear our colourful clothes. But they are going to hide our lines/curv...
