Finished MIBS at USC. Started a doctorate program at ASU but flunked out because of 9/11. Am working for a Turkish pharmaceutical company. Corporate life is strange.

I think I am not finished to babble on this particular subject.In the literature on motivation and human resource studies, there are a number of theories. The needs-based theories, the motivational theories, the penalty based theories, and the such all are focused on how to make an employee work better. While I divulged myself into reading a little bit about these theories, please allow me to

Life is strange. As much a cliché as this sounds, I find it quite true but not so complete. Life is strange in the way people are judged by unfair comparisons and categorized in ways that create further inequalities. I am sure all of you see prime examples of this phenomenon all around you, and I am guessing, like me, some of you folks out there are subjects to it in the corporate

It seems that Debbie, our beloved American friend in Arizona, keeps sending me messages that show keen interest. I would like to thank her on behalf of me and my wife. Captain Dave and Debbie are very nice and hospitable people indeed. They are true, hard-working Americans, with great hospitability and sincerety. While we were there, we were hosted by Captain Dave and Debbie several times.

My wife, Aylin, has taken the time to scan our photos. While the photos are not as beautiful as Kas and the holiday itself (which, sadly, can never occur), they are still a nice consolation price. Please enjoy them at the following link. Photos of Multiactivity Kas

I have returned from my holiday at Kas, a multiactivity week that consisted of canyonning, mountain-biking, sea-kayaking, paragliding (well, actually not that one), one day of sea tour and finally a lot of swimming! When I and my wife returned, we were both pumped up with adrenaline and energy. Although I tasted delicious sea food in huge quantities, it looks like I actually lost weight. And it

I am a big slob, I know. I have created this blog two weeks ago, but I did not put a word here for the last couple of days. Why? Well, some weird coincidences met me on the way between here and back, and I could not have the time. Unfortunately, I can not tell you exactly what happened, at least not for now. I can tell you that a promising light appeared on the horizon, coming closer and

As some of the visitors of this unhappy and lonely website might have noticed, I have placed a poem of Edgar Allan Poe this morning. The poem describes a beautiful city by the sea where death looks down upon. This is a "strange city lying alone/ far down within the dim West, where the good and the bad and the worst and the best/ have gone to their eternal rest." In retrospect, this describes

The City in the Sea by Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lo! Death has reared himself a throne In a strange city lying alone Far down within the dim West, Where the good and the bad and the worst and the best Have gone to their eternal rest. There shrines and palaces and towers (Time-eaten towers that tremble not!)

Hello guys. Today, I have received an email from a friend with photos taken on a beautiful July evening in Istanbul. We went to Beyoglu, the old Pera, and from there, took a walk down the streets to a beautiful little haven called Rue de France. It is strange that Rue de France is also called Cezayir Sokagi in Turkish, whose exact translation would be The Algeria Street. Find the link below to

Hello everybody! Since I have such a great audience (oh, the audience is a great club, about the size sufficient to fill one giant telephone box), I want to keep them quite happy. So, I am putting some extra words today. I have created another blog: http://pharmatechnology.blogspot.com. In this blog, I will try to argue about several issues that trouble me or the new findings I have come

Hello there everyone! Under the auspices of such a grand observer-lot such as yourselves, I bow humbly and ask for your kind acceptance of my apologies if and when I may make any mistakes on this very first day of my blog. I am going to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you in a few words. I can not really tell you much in a short space and amount of time without boring you, so I
