I am still trying to get over my love for Istanbul, where I lived for 7 years before moving to Berlin last year. I studied Robotics and now work as a marketing consultant, but deep down I see myself as a creative and I try to indulge in photography, music production, and poetry whenever I can.

Interests

Have given around 5-6 years of my life to theater and still adore anything related to theater and acting. Not only have I acted in theater plays, but also directed two at a semi-professional level. I read and write poetry from time to time, depending on the source and intensity of the inspiration. Despite my obsession with the field of psychology and the world of the subconscious I have not been able to pursue it academically so far.

Photography has been a constant in my life for a long time now but only recently I started getting into electronic music production. The goal right now is to create a fusion of Pakistani/Indian folk music and electronic beats.

As weird as it may sound, I love buying and collecting ties even if I never come around to wearing them. 67 and counting.. (Update: Berlin has killed my interest in ties)
