They Are All about Parents Love [Review]

Recently I've enjoyed two movies and a webtoon all of which coincidentally had a common theme. You guessed what it is from the title. They're literally so heart-touching that you might need a box of tissue with you while giving them a go.

1. Miracle in Cell No. 7

A mentally impaired man got falsely accused of murdering a young girl which separated him from his loving daughter whom he loved more than his life. After years, the grown up daughter looks back at the time and reminisces the bitter-sweet memory of that difficult time.

This 2013 Korean movie has such a beautiful story, it has inspired remakes in four different countries. The Turkish remake in 2019 got the most popularity and brought this movie in the lime light. This one is slightly different from the original story for its different ending.

2. Ayla: the Daughter of War

Süleyman Dilbirliği, a 25 year old solider in the Turkish troop sent to help South Korea in the Korean War in 1950, found a helpless child amidst the war wreckage. He brought her with him and took care of her like a father while fighting against enemies. The war came to an end making their possibilty to stay by each other's side an uncertain mist.

This movie is based on a true event and after watching it I was wondering whether all of the incredible story actually happened in real or they made up some of it. Then I watched the documentary– "Ayla: My Korean Daughter" and wow... all of that incredible story was real. I highly recommend you watch the documentary as well; this pure story of love and humanity deserves to be spread among all.

3. Kids are Alright

Little boy Dai's mom is currently at hospital. He lives with his dad and is a very responsible kid for his age. In his new school, he makes new friends, plays with them and learns about the way of life while growing up.

This webtoon has such a simplistic art style but the story won't fail to touch your heart. Gives you a look at life from a child's perspective. A movie has been made out of this but the webtoon is much better in my opinion.

That's all for today. I've been so irregular in blogging :'). I want to give the excuse of my upcoming SSC exam which has been hanging over the neck forever. Hope I'll be able to be regular once the exam is finished and bring some interesting content to you, in sha Allah. Until then, take care!

An Excerpt from My Karate Journey!

One of the new things that has been added to my life this year is Karate. I had always been interested in learning some kind of martial art, so finally starting to learn karate was like a dream-come-true to me. Recently I've been promoted to yellow belt from white (belt ranking starts from white and gradually climbes up to yellow, orange, green etc.). Today I'd like to share with you some thoughts regarding my karate journey. First, let me tell you about our karate dojo (where karate is taught). Honestly, I've never been to a place full of so much positive energy before. No negativity, only hard work and learning. I think it's wonderful that we willingly keep coming to the place which keeps giving us tough time every week. I doubt even 1% of this willingness is present when it comes to going to school. Another different thing about this place is– here age doesn't make you junior or senior, your skill does. Often we learn from someone who is much younger than us and

How the Nuclear Tests Destroyed the Lives of Innocent Islanders

Bikini Atoll The other day I was reading the story 'othoi shagor' of 'Tin goyenda' again after almost 8 years and learned about an interesting historical reference which I had completely ignored the first time I read it. Today I'm sharing that with you. After World War 2, during the cold war between the United States and Russia, the U.S.A. conducted some consecutive nuclear tests on different islands and atolls in the Marshall islands (the testing sites were given the name– Pacific Proving Grounds). These tests continued for 12 years starting from 1946, to show the world how much power they had. According to the document, 105 nuclear tests were conducted in total. The first explosion took place at Bikini Atoll on 1July, 1946. (Atolls are ring-shaped coral islands.) Marshall Islands is situated in the South Sea of Pacific Ocean and it consists of many small islands and atolls. The atolls consist of smaller islands. In the mainland of the Bikini atoll, lived 167

Arab Spring pt. 1

After slacking on a weekly post, I'm back on the track with new content! This time's topic is a history that's not completely part of the past yet. You've got the spoiler in the title already; it's the hot topic of the beginning of last decade- the Arab Spring. There's much to get into regarding this topic and so I intend to make two (or more if needed) parts of today's post. Here's the part one where I'll be covering what Arab Spring is, how it began and a glimpse of what it led to. It all started from a small country in North Africa- Tunisia; a country having a long history of corruption and oppression from the government. In the cover of farce-like democracy, the country actually ran by dictatorship under the power of president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, Tunisia's second president starting from 1987. People didn't have the freedom of speech and government corruption, unemployment, social inequality were distressing their life. Ben Ali's
