That One Spiritual Moment
Solitude is like a spiritual experience. It is in this moment when you become acutely aware of the things around you; the filtered sun rays inside your room, the wind, the plants, the flowers, and the tiny insects crawling beneath your feet.

I am standing on a quay while the twilight scatters a pinkish hue in the sky. I see fishermen’s boats on the horizon – few tiny black dots on the sea, seeming larger with time as they return to their land, after a hard day of work with plentiful sardines, bass, and other catches.

My Name is Red
I found Orhan Pamuk's way of writing quite unique. The story, the characters, the history layered beautifully. I loved his style of putting the characters in a first-person conversational tone. Although I had longed to read Istanbul: Memories and the City, I finally picked this book. This is the first time I have ever read … Continue reading My Name is Red
