After returning back from shile,we met lot of new interns in the company,and we worked with few of them for our broadcast show for 30 min.The show was about the people from streets and knowing about their lives.Burc was the host of the show and mehmet and barish were from turkey.Apparently it was 290th show :) and me and aneta were like guests in that.In the show all of us were introduced one by one and called to talk about our lives and about the reason what we are doing here in the Istanbul.
I learned about vidi which is used at the company for application development.So i was doing a small improvement on the application called text chat and any how finished it in one day ...yaaay!! although it was not a big achievement ..but ya it feels good when something works after ....after a long time work.Recently i was working on an application Friendmeet ,working in a team of of four people.Everyone got some specific task to do on the application .My work was to show the name of the person who creates a room for chatting.The work is easy if you understand the concept properly. But if you are little confused with it ,its goin to be a big pain for you.Never mind the task is all over and now i ll jump back to textchat.we interns have been scheduled for KPSS broadcast,it is a state level exam in turkey.So my turn was last week with burc ,to manage everythin related with the broadcast.
Last to last weekend i took a one day trip to princess island with people from our company.It was a very good trip,took a ship ride to the island which takes more than an hour to reach the island. The island has very good view from everywhere and they have buildings which looks very old but they are extremely beautiful.This land has lots of uphills and down.And these uphills are pain when you have to cover them with your cycles.we took pictures like some paparazzi ..click ..click :).The sunday after that was the laziest day what i had here ,bcoz of the tierdness of the whole trip.
Every day we have a presentation by an intern on their own selected topic and it is broadcasted live on internet.pheew today was my turn and i was so nervous ,as i could not prepare much for it .But i m happy that its over ,but little worried whether people understood me or not bcoz of my accent or my speed.By the way my topic was my country India and its diversity ...so it was not much difficult to talk about .
weekends are the best time to utilise for traveling around and i try my best not to lose any of them.so last weekend i went to sultan ahmed and saw beautiful mosque there and had traditional dessert.Night life at istanbul,specially at taksim is really cool.Hopin to have much more time like that at company and in the country.

First week at Istanbul

I was standing at the airport's entrance door at new delhi in india and was wondering if I can do this or not.My mind was filled with thoughts of turning
around and going back to my house.Person like me who has never stayed alone in her own country has to go all the way to Istanbul and live there for 2 months
for internship.Thinking about this gave me goosebumps and i was scared like anything,what if i lose my passport or all my money is gone or deported back to
the country.I just tried to clear my mind of these kind of thoughts and took a deep breath and entered telling myself that i am adult enough to manage
evrything and i will do it!!! so i m here in istanbul right now with lots of expectations with myself to do something constructive or do sumthn that I should
be proud of.

The cab drive from Ataturk airport to the dorm gave me a thrill about the place and all aches from the journey felt worth coming down here.Dorms didnt make me
feel anything different as they are pretty much similar to the dorms I m living in my country.People in istanbul like watching indian serials and movies
was something I was not expecting at all.This country ,so beautifully possess the culture of two different continents as one .I couldnt resist the first day
itself and went to roam around outside ,somewhere on the streets.

The company where i m doin my internship is Zeitin which has very attractive technologies as their products and was also one of my reason to choose internship
here.I enterd the company first day with a bit inquisitive or wierd feeling that how the company is going to be?? how people in the company r going to be??
how i should interact with them ??are they going to like my work or not??--so basically stupid endless list of questions .When i enterd the office i had no
idea who is working here and who is an intern here ,everyone is working with everyone as a team !! oohk gr8 confusion!! They were in a bit of shock due to
my sudden appearance :).I got introduced to many people and got my account after a while ,so that I can log in to the systems to do something.I really liked
the work scenario at the company ,it looked something like egoless approach in software engineering :).

The weeek passed like in a wink and weekend came with an opportunity to learn the live broadcasting of events through Vidicast .We had to go to isik
university which is one of the good private universities in istanbul and has wonderful dorms to live :).The conference took place for two days and was
something about the light houses and their importance in the history.The event was live broadcasted on the internet for two days and i got to learn
the whole procedure.We spent our evenings in the small town called sile which is near by to the university and has mind blowing sightseeings.I finally got
to see the bridge which connects Asia and Europe as isik university and sile is on the asia side of the country.The place in evening has astonishing environment
to have nargile or hukah.The Go karting added more fun to the evenings there.Last but not the least i took one lesson of driving with my shaky hands,but it
was good enough to give me the encouragement to learn it more.I got to try different kind of cuisines here which were vry good.The place makes me feel
eager to know more about the place ,people and their culture.I hope that i have more fun and good work waiting for me in coming weeks.
