If you write a letter to God, what would you say?

Who is the person that you love most?
Peshwa Ghazi Muhammed… I love him as I gave his name to my son.

The “elogio de la Sombra” (In Praise of Darkness) by Jorge Luis Borges .
When you are dead, who would you most like to visit your grave? (It does not matter if s/he is dead or alive)
Not me, but our dengbej can answer this question on behalf me:
“mezelê min li ser rêya bêrîvanan çêkin belkî meyroka min jî di nav wan de be, pozê şimika wê li tozê bikeve, ew toz were xwe li ser ruyê min deyne”
What worries you the most?
The orphaned children who had no memories of their mother and father before they were forgotten.
If you scratch one name to Diyarbakir’s walls, whose name would it be?
We don’t need to scratch many names. But if it is my duty I would scratch the name of Şêx Seîd and his friend because they fought for the city on the outside of the city; and the name of Çiyager and their friends because they fought for the city on the inside.
Which period do you want to live in?
In 19th century Texas, among the cowboys.
If you were born one more time, what would you do again?
Even if I am happy with myself individually, I would never want things that happened in this life to happen again.
What would you most like to do before you die?
I had a dream that day, it was like a scene from my future. For this reason it is still clear in my memory. I held my grandchild’s hand and was walking in the riverside with a peaceful heart. It is enough for me to reach that day and realise this scene.
What do you most dream about?
A thousand blessings to the grave of Celal Melekşa.
One day I was waiting for the bus in one of the stations in Nusaybin. A bus stopped at the station and I asked the driver: “Is this bus going to Qidûrbeg?” The driver turned to me and said: “No this is the route to enter, the bus from Qidûrbeg will come in five minutes.”
What is the pain in your heart in this life?
I always wonder; How would my personality and life be in a parallel life in a free and independent Kurdistan?
If you wanted to change something about yourself, what would it be?
Sometimes I get angry quickly. I want to be more patient.
What is your biggest achievement?
I don’t know! I can’t see anything to shout about and any big achievement when I go back to my life and look at it.
