Three years ago I met Lara through a training. She arranged an amazing week of trainings in Istanbul. I wished to reconnect with Lara. I sent her an email when I knew I will be coming to Istanbul. I sent another one when I arrived. I interpreted no responses with a busy life.
Then last week a colleague invited me for an outside lunch. There was even some debate whether to go or not as traffic in Istanbul is unpredictable and we needed to be back in the office on time. We decided to go as my colleague wanted to share with me a nice place.
To my surprise she took me to Sabanci Museum. I told her I love the place. We sat at the table in the restaurant and than I was approached by Lara.
Was this by chance/coincidence or by strings pulled by some invisible hand? Who knows. Some might say "birds of a feather flock together" but it is quite amazing that on my first lunch outside the office area I go to Sabanci Museum and meet Lara! Lady Luck was kind to me!
Today I met Lara, Lea and Cam at the wonderful terrace of their home overlooking the Bosphorus. One dolphin joined to celebrate our "reconnection" and made few leaps. Lara than showed me Borusan Contemporary with a fascinating computer art. The exhibition is set at the head office of one large turkish company. It is nice to think that over weekend one's office is a place to enjoy art to others. We also shared a delicious meal with spectacular Bosphorus view.
It feels great reconnecting.
