Finally Started!
I have been thinking of blogging for quite a while, its been on my to-do list for the past 3 weeks. I am quite elated today as I have just recieved a parcel from home :)
Contents:-
Biryani, Garam and Rajma Masalas, Vatelu Jeeru for chaas :) A Copy of Success Vs Joy and a lot more ! Thank you Mom . My next mission is to Cook Chicken Biryani, Boondi Raita and round it of with strawberys and cream for all the trainees.
Sitting in office today I just realized what a wonderful experience I have been going through over the last couple of months and decided to write. Ofcourse it has had its highs and lows but never the less I feel lucky to be part of this experience. I am living with a set of wonderful people from all parts of the world and learning every minute about life from them. I am working in one of the top companies in the world and absorbing a lot from the people around and their goals and aspirations in life. It's invaluable learning, thank you AIESEC :)
I witnessed my first live football match yesterday. I must confess that I am no football freak. Back in Ahmedabad I used to watch all school games as a 13 year old and supported my school team quite passionately. But yesterdays experience was quite amazing. The top team in Turkey Fenerbache were in action. It was their home game and a stadium packed with about 30,000 supporters were cheering their team. I was ofcourse in the cheapest parts of the stands but it was also the most enjoyable :) The drumbeats, the dances, the chants. The cricket fans back in India could definetly take a leaf or two out of their books on cheering.
I was taken back to my playing days and the shiver went down my spine again. I think the fire in the belly is getting back. Man I so want to play again :) I am working towards my fitness again, the first baby steps are to see what I eat, healthy good food, avoid sweets and fatty food, olive oil etc. Next step will be to start jogging and then start playing, watch out u Turks I am hitting the court pretty soon!
We are soon shifting to a brand new dorm, its right next to the hookah hotspot in Istanbul and overlooking the bosophorus sea, I will have a view of Asian continent sleeping in Europe, Ah what fun!!
More to come soon!

Hi Aakash,
Welcome to the club! Blogging is good though sometimes time is running against you - meaning hard to find time for blogging. But it gives good rest for the mind for some 5 min while at work.
Enjoy Turkey!
