Top of the Mountain

This weekend Me,Imran and Hani went to Bursa for a tour organized by Bursa LC.The journey took us 13 hours. After we reached Bursa we left for Uludag which is a ski resort town(one hour from Bursa).There were about 40 trainees from all over the world who joined this tour and the tour was called'Top Of the Mountain'.

The drive form Bursa to Uludag was very slow as it was snowing heavily.I had never seen so much snow before.After we reached the hotel we checked in and left for a barbecue party.As it was snowing we had to move in to a nearby pub and have our lunch.Then we went out in the snow and had a coaster raid.It snowed heavily the whole day and we were all wet but the coaster raid was fun.Then we went back to the hotel to change as there was a party after dinner.The party was fun but as I was tired I went to bed early.

The next day all the other guys went out skiing but me and my friends went around the town taking snaps,snow fighting and making a snowman.The landscape of this place was amazing.As I had to be in mersin the next morning we left Uludag at 2 in the afternoon and took a overnight bus from bursa and reached mersin this morning at 7 AM.The tour was fun had the weather been better it would have been excellent.The best part about the trip was I got to meet a lot of people and was a much needed brake from Mersin.

First Love

My first love.What can i say about her.I don't have the words to express the feelings I have for her.when she laughs I am happy when she cries I cry with her.

The moments we spent together will always stay with me forever.Its hard to imagine or even compare her to anyone else.Its even harder to think of life without her but then I have to move on and so does she.

I keep asking myself will I ever fall in love again.

Salsa

Finally I have registered for salsa classes with the help of my friend Eda.Today is my first salsa class.Its once a week on Monday's.I hope to learn as much as possible for the 4 weeks I have registered.This was actually suggested by my friend and I thought it was a great idea as I do nothing after work.
I will write more about it later this week.

Six Months

I complete 6 months in Turkey today.Looking back I think I have had a great experience but it was not always easy.I have gone through some tough times and personal lows.I have less then two months to go after which I will be in Europe for five weeks and back to Istanbul on my way to India.

Bad Weather

In the last few days the weather in Mersin has been very bad.Its been raining all day.The weather in mersin is actually much better compared to other parts of Turkey where its been snowing heavily and in Istanbul the situation is so bad the people are not stepping out of their homes.

Even though its raining here, surprisingly the temperature has not come down.I hope this is the sign that its going to be spring soon.

Jethro Tull in Bangalore

The legendary Jethro Tull performed in Bangalore yesterday.The band now is mainly Ian Anderson( the guy who plays the flute) and they will be performing in Mumbai as well.Even though i am not a huge fan of Jethro tull I would have loved to see them play live but unfortunately i missed the concert as I am in Turkey.

On this Sunday Bryan Adams will be performing in Bangalore. Seems like Bangalore is rocking !!

Is Sachin's career nearing its end?

India have lost the series to Pakistan after playing so well in the first two tests.I was very disappointed with the result.I read this article'Endulkar of Sachin' today talking about how sachin is not playing well and he is scared of Shoaib Akhtar.I totally disagree with this.

Everyone knows how great a player he is and not one to be scared of any bowler.The one day Internationals between india and pakistan are soon coming up so its hope sachin is back in form and proves everyone wrong and shows the world what a class batsmen he is !
