Nedavno je jedan moj prijatelj iz Bačke Palanke pokrenuo verovatno uzaludnu i pomalo dečački naivnu akciju da se ime njegovog rodnog gradića preinači u Dunavgrad. Na zvaničnoj internet stranici koju je sam osmislio, ovaj dobrodušni momak je veoma podrobno objasnio otkud mu ideja da pokrene inicijativu za promenu imena Bačke Palanke. Pročitala sam taj tekst koji je predug i…
piše: Ivana Krsmanović Gledam ovaj moj šporet… poslednja reč tehnike. Ravna ploča, savršeno dizajnirani dugmići, svedene linije za potrebe modernog domaćinstva. Kako da ispečem papriku na takvom šporetu? Vreme je da se ostavi zimnica i miris pečene paprike nekako ide sa slikom tek zarudele jeseni, koja se stidljivo odaje po iznenadnoj večernjoj svežini.

Dobar dan,’’ – ote mi se dok sam sklapala kišobran….

What used to be an alternative to regular communication and work, became an exclusive means of social interaction. Such a sudden shift to the exclusively online environment also affected the…
author: Ivana Krsmanović While we usually demonstrate eco-friendly behaviour on a regular basis and think twice when choosing plastic over paper, we somehow repeatedly get infected by the shopping craze during the Christmas holidays, not thinking ‘green’. Wherever you set foot in December, you can witness how Christmas is overburdening businesses, schools and households with an excess of unrecyclable…
author: Ivana Krsmanović Lauren Beukes once said: “Traffic in Joburg is like the democratic process. Every time you think it’s going to get moving and take you somewhere, you hit another jam.” Joburg from the above quote might be Johannesburg – the largest city in South Africa and one of the 50 largest urban areas in the world. In…

Sir Robinson, an inspiring educational expert and a creativity guru, quickly…
