BLOG: Novruz holiday is knocking the door..."earth" Tuesday evening... (shekiazerbaijan.blogspot.com)

Today is last Tuesday evening when signs of nature are noted or celebrated as part of Novruz holiday.
Unfortunately last Tuesday I wasn’t able to write about wind Tuesday…I was thinking to write that they say that Baku means city of winds and this wind makes sometimes hot and humid summers a bit bearable but also makes winters much colder than thermometers show...They say that in the past, when the area of Baku was empty and there were less constructions to break the wind, people could actually stand on the wind…so strong it used to be…nowadays wind can get quite strong too…cold wind that comes from Caspian is called khazri and warm wind is called gilavar. How poetic is this…
