Yesterday was a
Robert Burns day. A memorial of this famous Scottish poet. I have a very nice Scottish colleague who told me how they celebrate the day. A family prepare a meal called
Haggis and a person who serve the meal read the famous poem of Robert Burn's called "
Address to The Haggis". He read the poem for us in its original format. I couldn't understand a word of it but I was amazed with his performance. The way he read it I could felt the excitement in his voice remind me of my father when reading "
Hafiz" poems for us.
P.S.
