Hidden toaster

I’ve been looking for a non-problematic household type bread toaster for many years. ☺ Almost all typical toasters are designed with the same principle and are very hard to clean if you are not using it only for factory sliced toast bread. Anything else you want to heat up can get between its “teeth” and […]

First sell then produce

“Dear Mehmet! Please take a look at my online store. Your opinion is very important for me.” Words from one of my long time online friends. I’m not an online store expert but a business is a business. ☺ Below are excerpts from my reply: – I like the products. – The design of the […]

A 235 years old “design”

One of Mozart’s best-known tunes is his Sonata No.11 for piano, which he composed around 1783. The final movement, known popularly as the ‘Turkish March’, was entitled as ‘Alla Turca’ by Mozart himself. The “design” Alla Turca has been performed by thousands of artists in the 235 years since Mozart has composed it. The artists […]

The art of selling the “same art” on multiple products

When I visit a museum I start my tour at the museum shop. Thanks to that visit, I can quite accurately estimate what I’ll get to see when I enter the exhibition halls.

Why did my business partner say NO to me?

She was smiling. I was dumbfounded. It was my first interview in Sofia, Bulgaria with a potential business partner. She had seemed to be in agreement with all the details of the cooperation. Our meeting was coming to an end and I asked her if she thought positively about our common future. She shook her […]

Boris Becker’s tongue

Romania… a new start

“We are landing at Henri Coandă International Airport… please fasten….” It is the second episode of my adventure called “Romania”. 🙂 The first one had started 9 years ago. I had to give up Romania for a couple of years. Now I am claiming back those years. This time I was in Bucharest for 4 […]

Entering the water

Assume it is summer and you are at the seaside ready to enter the water. You can either walk into the water from the sandy shore or jump from the platform taking you out a couple of meters into the sea. Would you let your body feel the coldness of the water slowly by deciding […]

The piano player

I’m excited. We will be entering the studio soon, to record my last compositions. My arranger Cenk asked: “How about the piano?” He means: “Will you play the piano?” He knows. I am a terrible piano “player”. ☺ The last time I said “Yes” to that question I had to work with the great pianist […]
