Turkish Delight

• Did a small strategic planning workshop with Bosphorus university to start up a CSR NGO in Turkey
• A buddy zealot/nomad and family visited me :)
• Lunch in a boat on the Bosphorus

Some interests that have I been pursuing of late

• Sufism: Reflecting, reading and understanding the sufi way of life, it has been rewarding to experience the meaning of the whirling dervishes and go closer to the life of Rumi. I will have to dedicate a seperate post for my insights on that!
• Technology & Development: Working closely on various projects in the middle east and africa on ICT4D, I have begun to understand the role technology has in development and how it is going to be a key enabler to achieve the millenium development goals. It helps to be working in an area that is of genunie interest, keeps me going everyday

Few things I am going to do over the coming weeks

• Go to Konya, the place where Rumi the sufi poet settled down when he was 25, his death aniversary is celebrated by the gathering of sufi musicians from all around the world. Should be fun
• Going for the Global Alliance summit in Alexandria, Egypt organized by the International Youth Foundation, for those who are interested in what it is, check it out here
• Shop at the Grand Bazaar !

Looking forward to the last lap !
