DAVID TURASHVILI RECITES OTAR CHILADZE'S POEM "STILL RAINS OUTSIDE"

"This poem was my enjoyable obsession when I was a student at Javakhishvili University. Certainly, I was in love as well and maybe this was the reason why I got familiar with Otar Chiladze’s poetry, before even reading his novels. I thought he manifested everything whatever I desired to say at that time. Although, after years, when I had read all his novels, I decided to re-read his poems and I enjoyed them great again. I realized that I miss everything, related to that sweet period- snow and rain, the sun and freedom of the University… And, surely, I miss love too." - David Turashvili
