I just listened some music today and I remembered my grandmother and grandfather. Unfortunately, they passed away several years ago but they are still with me in my long journey. My grandma was somebody really special. She was a lady who worked and lived for the family. Nothing else, just the family and grandchildren. She was somebody very special in my life. I miss her face, hes presence and her voice always worrying about us, kids. I remember always the special Sunday lunches in my grandparents' house having the whole family around the table. Amazing time but there are just nice memories ...

Grandpa was also special but of course, he was more severe with us. He also holds a special place in my hart. He survived a couple of years my grandma but he always was missing his lifetime partner. He was soldier during the II WW in the Hungarian Army. They had such a life experience which we will never had. I always spend some time with his old Russian watch which he left me. This watch is more precious to me than any other watch in the world. It is not just a watch but a bond, a link to some great people!

I have many questions to ask, to listen their stories but they are not with us anymore. However, I know I will always love them as they did and they will be always with me in my hart.

God bless you both!

The game

I think I will not write a whole story about this, but I could tell, it was a lifetime experience. I haven't seen so much people in such a huge stadium. Amazing. You can see whole families heading for the GAME. You can see even 2-3 old kids wearing the t-shirt of the favorite team and you can often see also 80 years old ladies supporting B.V.B. Dortmund.

I was amazed how civilized they behave all those people down there. Of course, during the game they were the ferocious supporters ever, not stopping even for a minute to support the black & yellow guys but one issue is to enjoy the game and when is finished just became the normal guys as before. It was really fun to be there!

Btw, of course Borussia Dortmund scored 2, while the "enemy" was not able to score.

Shiny Toy Guns

I was just listening some music in my favourite last.fm site when probably I did a mistake by pushing the wrong link and voila -out of nothing- , I just got Shiny Toy Guns - You are the One. Incredible! Do some Google and you will see for the rest. Just enjoy some new band! Or just Rocketship.

I know everybody has his/her favorites but just open your mind an listen something else .....

A hatalom ara

Hat igen. Jelen pillanatban Romania uszik az arral, tizezrek az utcan, mert nincs munkajuk, tobb ezer vallalkozas csodben, milliok a letminimum alatt, es egy bukott kormany. Szep merleg, nem de? De sajnos valtoztatni nem tudok rajta, igy hat mit tehetek, mint biralom az "eloljaroinkat." Megvallom szemelyesen nem tekintem annak oket, sot, (...) naprol-napra csak egyre inkabb hatrebb kerulnek a sorban, ha egyaltalan meg lehet hatrabb kerulni, de nekik ez mit sem szamit, a barsonyszek es a hatalom feledteti veluk mindezt.

A kormany valsagot a PNL (Nemzeti Liberalis Part) es RMDSZ (Romaniai Magyar Demokratak Szovetsege) kezdemenyezte a bizalmatlansagi inditvannyal, de erdekes modon, mikor szint kellett volna vallani, honatyaink elkezdtek gondolkodni. Milyen jo lenne a gyoztes mellett allni. Es igy is tettek. Mikor az allamelnok targyalasra hivta oket, gondolom zart ajtok mogott fut-fat igerve nekik, hogy ne szavazzak meg a bizalmatlansagi inditvanyt, ok voltak az egyeduli ellenzeki part, aki elment a targyalasra, mert hatha netan sikerul valami puha szeket kicsikarni.

Es eljott a szavazas napja. Mig a PNL es a PSD (Szocial Demokrata Part) aki nemreg meg jonehany komoly poziciot birtokolt, nyiltan szavaz, addig a magyar honatyak titkosan szavaznak, mert hat nem merik vallalni szavazataikat a nyilvanossag elott. Es ime az erem ket oldala. Ha marad a regi kormany, akkor ok voltak azok akik segitettek, igy gondolom ,"kierdemelnek" a huseg jelekent ujabb helyeket, ha meg nem, akkor ok lesznek a modern Romania hosei, hisz megmentettek Romaniat egy dilettans kormanytol.

Szomoruan kell latnunk, hogy "tisztelt" eloljaroink kepesek megtenni barmit, csak hogy szovetkezhessenek valakivel (lehet az akar regi osregi ellenseg is), csak adjon bizonyos helyet a hatalom tuze mellett.

Szoval ahogy mondja a mondas: "Meghalt Matyas, oda az igazsag!"

The Miracle ...


A few years ago I have been in Agra, India to visit the Red Fort and the Taj Mahal. Some of you maybe have received such a short message from me: "I've just seen the Miracle! The Taj Mahal is a gift from God and built by Man to echos into Eternity."

This was my first thought once I have seen mausoleum. It was something amazing to see this building and the surrounding park containing other nice buildings.


As you know, today the Nobel Committee for Peace has offered the Peace Nobel Prize to President Obama. Of course as it was expected, the news has been published instantly on the Internet and right now everybody knows about it.

Honestly, I am against this nomination. I like this new president of US, I think he was the optimal choice after 8 years of republican government but he does not deserve yet such a prestigious award. In my understanding such a prize should go to somebody who already did something not to somebody who is still just talking about different actions. Unfortunately, it seems the main focus proposed by Alfred Nobel is not anymore. Right now the prize is more about ideals and not facts.

I think John Paul II (2004 nominated), Nelson Mandela (1993), Kim Dae-jung (2000), Itzak Rabin, (1994) Simon Perez (1994), Yasser Arafat (1994), Mikhail Gorbacsev (1990), Elie Wiessel (1986), Desmond Tutu (1984), Lech Walesa (1983), Mother Theresa (1979), Andrei Sakharov (1975), Henri Kissinger (1973), Martin Luther King Jr. (1963), Albert Sweitzer (1952) and many others really deserve this award, but the president should first do something and not just bring hope that someday something may change.

The surprise


I would like to dedicate this blog to my colleagues from TU Dortmund. You know during the last weekend I turned 33 so we had a party with my friends back in Romania but once I was back in Dortmund, Germany, my colleagues from Intelligent Systems they offered me a present. What about the present? It was a ticket but not just a normal ticket but a ticket for a football derby between Borussia Dortmund and FC. Bochum. Can you imagine? Me in BVB stadium? Just simply great. I'll be able to tell about the feeling in this great stadium. I am really happy. I just got the best present ever.

And today I just got an extra present. They thought as it is my first game I should be prepared accordingly by wearing the corresponding accessory: a scarf.

I would like only to say: Thanks guys!


Meg mielott valaki felreertene a dolgokat, szeretnek tisztazni valamit. A punga szo a roman nyelvbol ered (lasd pl. a "Punguta cu doi bani" c. Ion Creanga tollat dicsero nepmeset, ahol a punga szo kicsinyito kepzo tarsasagaban jelenkezik) es jelentese erszeny, zacsko.

Nalunk Erdelyben inkabb a punga de neylon terjedt el, ami a magyar neylon zacsko megfeleloje es valljuk be a polimer-kemia hatalmas felfedezese, hogy ilyen vegyuleteket volt kepes letrehozni akkortalyt. No es persze az emberek orvendtek, mert kicsi helyen elfert, sok mindent bele lehetett rakodni es olcso. Igen Romaniaba mindig penzt kertek erte, igy lett a punga de neylon-bol punga cu un leu. Ez sajnos ez beepult a sokak nyelvezetebe es ma mar teljes buszkeseggel kernek egy "punga-t" es feltetelezem, hogy sokak kepesek leirni magyar helyesiras szerint is.

Nyugat Europa bevasarlo kozpontjaiba eddig ingyenesen osztottak ezeket a zacskokat, mig Amerikaban ezek papir tarsaiba csomagoltak az arut. 2-3 eve azonban az EU vamot vetett ki ezekre, ugyanis lebomlasi idejuk van legalabb nehany szaz ev es sajnos hajlamosak vagyunk a szemet helyett a folre dobni ezeket a zacskokat es maris kesz az okologiai katasztrofa. No persze nem csak ezt dobjuk a foldre, ... hanem sok egyeb mast is de arrol majd maskor.

Es leven, hogy van ilyen zacskonk, azt magunkkal hordozzuk, hogy abba tegyuk a megszerzett foldi javakat, hisz igy nem kell ujra megvennunk es egyesek meg azt is nezik, hogy talan ne szennyezzek a kornyezetuket. Otthon latom, hogy az emberek mennek vasarolni, majd kerik az elarusitot, hogy "ontse" termeket a zacskoba, a vasarlok meg kezseggel tartjak ket kezzel a zacsko szajat, hogy a dolgok bele es ne melle pottyanjanak. Eddig rendben es ez bevett modszer foleg Erdelyben.

Minap meselem a kollegaimnak, hogy reggelenkent mikor megyek vasarolni a kedvenc pekemhez, mindig kapok egy hatalmas nagy papir zacskot, amire nekem pontosan 2 percig van szuksegem, mert mar haza is erkezem a forro sutemenyekkel, zsemlekkel, kenyerrel. ennyi ido alatt. Ez szerintem teljesen pazarlas es javasoltam, hogy akar mehetnek a regi zacskommal es abba kerhetnem a dolgokat. Erre megszolal az NSZK-ban nevelkedett kollegam, hogy itt Nemetorszagban arrol lehet felismerni a keletieket (lasd nemetek a fal mogul -amugy 20 eve bontottak le a falat a ketteszakadt Nemetorszag kozott), hogy mindig nyujtjak a zacskojukat, hogy abba tegyek a megvasarolt dolgokat. Egy nyugati sosem tenne ilyet, megvarja mig a termeket becsomagoljak, majd aztan teszi be a sajat "punga-jaba", ha van neki ilyen, vagy a bevasarlo kosarbol egyenesen a kocsija csomagtartojaba landolnak a dolgok.

Vagyis mindezt elolvasba es megszivlelve, arra a kovetkeztetesre jutottam, hogy a "punga" hasznalata meghatarozhat "bizonyos regiokat" Europaban.
