About Me

CURRENT MISSION

preparing for overseas

ABOUT ME

Grown up in Kadıköy, living in Ankara since 2004, I have been always wondrous about what the rest of the world is like in its many different essences. Because what has been reinterpreted through literature, journalism and cinema cannot simply take place of the living culture. Now I set my mind to release my spirit into the gliding river of all Others. At the end of the day, the fate of anyone on this earth is bound to all cultures because one can only discover himself through all different possible kinds of identities. Salute.

PHILOSOPHY

I live to be free. To achieve it one ought to form fine relations with those people whom he interacts. Life is about being an understanding person and to reproduce all thoughts and relations -well shared with the others.

Music, Movies, and Books

Irish and Russian literature -especially the last major works by Dostoyevski.

Music... Well; jazz, blues, metal, indie.. and some dubstep, but it has to be truly genuine dubstep, like droid sector, or some pieces of nit grit

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Life itself is... Communicating with another person without neither of them speaking the same language.

Teach, Learn, Share

Highly amazed by the liberalized west; regretfully worried for the fetish individualism that is parallel to this liberalization. What I hope for all the world is, the negation of this liberalization by producing a social identity that is in peace with intercultural collaboration, which might emerge from the labour and effort of humble and curious people that are ready to embrace all cultures of the world. I hope I can survive to be one. That is all that I'm trying and I intend to travel a lot for this. OK enough
