    Serbian language is so wealthy that we have hundreds of ways to congratulate the religious feast days, especially the Easter, which is mostly contributed by many dialects in the Serbian language. For the example, there are many ways to wish "Happy Easter" in Serbian: 1) Srećan Uskrs! 2) Sretan Uskrs! 3) Srećan Vaskrs! 4) Sretan Vaskrs! .... or just use simple greeting "Happy feast" - "Srećni praznik". If you use, any of these phrases, surely that you wont make any mistake but the problem is that is not usual greeting. The most common Easter greeting in Serbia is "Hristos vaskrse" (Christ is risen). The reply on that greeting should to be  "Vaistinu vaskrse"   (Indeed, he is risen).

Ivo Andrić "Signs by the Roadside"

     "Only what has not been given a form or a name  endures, that which has never left the infinite and eternal landscape of non-existence"       In the form of a journal, Andrić's "Signs by the Roadside" is a series of short texts that can be written in the course of a single day, reflecting the writer's mood at the time, opinion on a particular topic or person, an impression from a trip or a thought that preoccupied him.    Kept for many years and written  in no particular order, these notes were compiled  by the writer in a book  which became the  mirror of his soul, and not merely a journal. These texts are not  organised chronologically, like a traditional journal, but rather  according to the spontaneous activity of the soul, which reacts intensely and emotively to daily stimuli, transforming them into meditations and visions, into pictures of landscapes and people.      Spont...
